Glory be to God on high
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Lyrics: 1 Glory be to God on high,
and peace on earth descend;
God comes down, he bows the sky,
and shows himself our friend!
God the invisible appears,
God the blest, the great I AM,
sojourns in this vale of tears,
and Jesus is his name.
2 Him the angels all adored,
their maker and their king:
tidings of their humbled Lord
they now to mortals bring:
emptied of his majesty,
of his dazzling glories shorn,
being’s source begins to be,
and God himself is born!
3 See the eternal Son of God
a mortal son of man,
dwelling in an earthly clod
whom heaven cannot contain!
Stand amazed ye heavens at this!
See the Lord of earth and skies
humbled to the dust he is,
and in a manger lies!
4 We earth's children now rejoice,
the Prince of peace proclaim,
with heaven’s host lift up our voice,
and shout Emmanuel’s name;
knees and hearts to him we bow;
of our flesh, and of our bone,
Jesus is our brother now,
and God is all our own! Topics: General Liturgical Section; Proper 6 Year C Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

Author: William C. Doane Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 197 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Lyrics: 1 Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory,
To Thee all knees are bent, all voices pray;
Thy love has blessed the wide world's wondrous story
With light and life since Eden's dawning day.
2 O Holy Father, who hast led Thy children
In all the ages, with the fire and cloud,
Through seas dry-shod, through weary wastes bewildering;
To Thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed.
3 O Holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Saviour,
To Thee we owe the peace that still prevails,
Stilling the rude wills of men's wild behavior,
And calming passion's fierce and stormy gales.
4 O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life Giver,
Thine is the quickening power that gives increase;
From Thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river,
Our plenty, wealth, prosperity, and peace.
5 O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring,
Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days;
Pray we that Thou wilt hear us, still imploring
Thy love and favor, kept to us always.

My heart and voice I raise
Author: Benjamin Rhodes, 1743-1815 Meter: 6.6.8 D Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 Lyrics: 1 My heart and voice I raise
to spread Messiah's praise,
Messiah's praise let all repeat:
the universal Lord,
by whose almighty word
creation rose in form complete.
2 A servant's form he wore,
and in his body bore
our dreadful curse on Calvary:
he like a victim stood
and poured his sacred blood
to set the guilty captives free.
3 But soon the Victor rose
triumphant o'er his foes,
and led the vanquished host in chains:
he threw their empire down,
his foes compelled to own,
o'er all the great Messiah reigns.
4 With mercy's mildest grace
he governs all our race
in wisdom, righteousness and love:
who to Messiah fly
shall find redemption nigh,
and all his great salvation prove.
5 Hail, Saviour, Prince of Peace!
Your kingdom shall increase
till all the world your glory see,
and righteousness abound
as the great deep profound,
and fill the earth with purity.

We Walk Today in Darkness
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:2 First Line: We walk today in darkness, Lyrics: We walk today in darkness,
each waiting for the light
of Love that works for justice
and seeks to make things right.
We wait, sometimes forgetting
we do not wait alone,
that others long for justice
and blessings yet unknown.
We walk today in darkness,
our purpose unfulfilled.
We do not do for others
the good that God has willed.
We do not offer kindness
to those who wait in need,
nor justice to our neighbors
in every word and deed.
We walk today in darkness,
our vain hearts filled with shame.
We follow our own footsteps
and not the Spirit's flame.
Self-love bedims our vision,
self-interest clouds our sight,
and good intentions vanish
like shadows in the night.
Lord Jesus, light our darkness;
with joy dispel our gloom.
Prepare us to receive you,
and in our lives make room
for humble, loving-kindness,
for just and honest ways,
that we might walk together
in Love-illumined days.
