Reigning in His kingdom of grace
I Cannot Tell
Author: William Y. Fullerton Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Physician; Evangelism; Jesus Christ Birth; Jesus Christ Earthly Life and Ministry; Jesus Christ Incarnation; Jesus Christ King; Jesus Christ Physician; Jesus Christ Return (Coming in Glory); Jesus Christ Savior; Jesus Christ Suffering; Jesus Christ Final Victory; Praise of Jesus Christ First Line: I cannot tell why he whom angels worship Lyrics: 1 I cannot tell why he whom angels worship
should come in flesh as prophets long foretold,
or why the Shepherd longs to save the wanderers
and bring them back rejoicing to the fold.
But this I know, that he was born of Mary
when Bethlehem's manger was his only home,
and that he lived at Nazareth and labored,
and so the promised Savior of the world is come.
2 I cannot tell how silently he suffered
as with his peace he graced this place of tears,
or how his heart upon the cross was broken,
the crown of pain to three and thirty years.
But this I know, he heals the broken-hearted,
and stays our sin, and calms our lurking fear,
and lifts the burden from the heavy laden,
for still the suffering Savior of the world is here.
3 I cannot tell how he will win the nations,
how he will claim his earthly heritage,
how satisfy the needs and aspirations
of east and west, of sinner and of sage.
But this I know, all flesh shall see his glory,
and he shall reap the harvest he has sown,
and some glad day his sun shall shine in splendor,
when he, the risen Savior of the world, is known.
4 I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship
when at his bidding,every storm is stilled,
or who can say how great the jubilation
when all our hearts with love for him are filled.
But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,
and countless voices then will join to sing,
and earth to heaven, and heaven to earth will answer:
"At last the living Savior of the world is King!" Scripture: Isaiah 40:5 Used With Tune: LONDONDERRY AIR

In the ages long ago,
Angels sang and stars gave light
For thy humble home below [Refrain]

In that holy land above,
Crowned with glory, cald in light,
Send thy messengers of love. [Refrain]

Lo, we see the star arise!
Like the Wise Men we are led
In the still night unto Christ. [Refrain]

Bethlehem, the House of Bread
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 7.9.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Christmas Birth of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Bethlehem, the House of Bread,
there upon a hillside, just ahead,
who comes now to be enrolled?
Joseph and Mary, tired and cold.
Bethlehem, the House of Bread.
2 Bethlehem, the House of Bread,
“Pity my poor Mary,” Joseph said.
“See her weary, so forlorn.
Her time will come before the morn.”
Bethlehem, the House of Bread.
3 Bethlehem, the House of Bread,
who has room for her to lay her head?
Soon, she’ll bear her little son.
He is the Christ, God’s Promised One.
Bethlehem, the House of Bread.
4 Bethlehem, the House of Bread,
Finding no room there, they go instead
to a cave so warm and dry,
with all the creatures standing by.
Bethlehem, the House of Bread.
5 Bethlehem, the House of Bread,
Come and greet the child in manger bed.
Know that in this holy birth,
the Bread of Life has come to earth!
Bethlehem, the House of Bread.

When John Baptized by Jordan's River

In faith and hope the people came,
That John and Jordan might deliver
Their troubled souls from sin and shame.
They came to seek a new beginning,
The human spirit's ageless quest,
Repentance, and an end of sinning,
Renouncing ev'ry wrong confessed.
2 There as the Lord, baptized and praying,
Rose from the stream, the sinless one,
A voice was heard from heaven saying,
"This is my own beloved Son."
There as the Father's word was spoken,
Not in the pow'r of wind and flame,
But of his love and peace the token,
Seen as a dove, the Spirit came.
3 O Son of Man, our nature sharing,
In whose obedience all are blest,
Savior, our sins and sorrows bearing,
Hear us and grant us this request:
Daily to grow, by grace defended,
Filled with the Spirit from above;
In Christ baptized, beloved, befriended,
Children of God in peace and love. Scripture: Luke 3 Used With Tune: RENDEZ À DIEU

Darkness flies, all is light;
Shepherds hear the angels sing:
"Alleluia! hail the King!
Christ the Saviour is here!
Jesus the Saviour is here!"

Child of heaven, O how bright
Thou didst smile on us when Thou wast born!
Blest indeed that happy morn,
Full of heavenly joy!
Full of heavenly joy!
Amen. Used With Tune: STILLE NACHT
Silent night! holy night!
