Hush, My Dear

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 59 hymnals First Line: Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber Lyrics: 1. Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber, Holy angels guard thy bed, Heav’nly blessings without number, Gently falling on thy head. How much better thou’rt attended, Than the Son of God could be, When from Heaven He descended, And became a child like thee! 2. Soft and easy is thy cradle, Coarse and hard thy Savior lay: When His birthplace was a stable, And His softest bed was hay. Oh, to tell the wondrous story, How His foes abused their King; How they killed the Lord of glory, Makes me angry while I sing. 3. Hush, my child, I did not chide thee, Though my song may seem so hard; ’Tis thy mother sits beside thee, And her arms shall be thy guard. May’st thou learn to know and fear Him, Love and serve Him all thy days; Then to dwell forever near Him, Tell His love and sing His praise.

Saints of God! the dawn is brightening, Token of our coming Lord: O’er the earth the field is whitening; Louder rings the Master’s Word; Pray for reapers, pray for reapers In the harvest of the Lord! 2. Now, O Lord, fulfill Thy pleasure, Breathe upon Thy chosen band, And, with Pentecostal measure, Send forth reapers o’er our land; Faithful reapers, faithful reapers, Gathering sheaves for Thy right hand. 3. Broad the shadow of our nation, Eager millions hither roam; Lo! they wait for Thy salvation; Come, Lord Jesus! quickly come! By Thy Spirit, by Thy Spirit, Bring Thy ransomed people home. 4. Soon shall end the time of weeping, Soon the reaping time will come; Heaven and earth together keeping God’s eternal harvest home. Saints and angels, saints and angels, Shout the world’s great harvest home. Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE Text Sources: Original Hymns (New York: 1849)
