Happy The Church, Thou Sacred Place

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11565 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Happy the church, thou sacred place, The seat of thy Creator’s grace; Thine holy courts are His abode, Thou earthly palace of our God! 2 Thy walls are strength, and at thy gates A guard of heav’nly warriors waits; Nor shall thy deep foundations move, Fixed on His counsels and His love. 3 Thy foes in vain designs engage, Against His throne in vain they rage; Like rising waves, with angry roar, That dash and die upon the shore. 4 Then let our souls in Sion dwell, Nor fear the wrath of Rome and hell; His arms embrace this happy ground, Like brazen bulwarks built around. 5 God is our shield, and God our sun; Swift as the fleeting moments run, On us He sheds new beams of grace, And we reflect His brightest praise.

The Star Of Bethlehem

Author: Carrie Cheyney Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11955 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Will that bright star again appear Lyrics: 1 Will that bright star again appear, Which o’er Judea’s plains beamed clear, To guide the wise men on their way To where the infant Savior lay? 2 That star which shed its silvery rays On Christ the Lord, in solemn praise, Will it repeat to all the earth The story of Messiah’s birth? 3 Did lowly shepherds that lone night, And angels from their home of light Proclaiming loud the dawn of peace, Behold the beauty of thy face? 4 Did swelling sounds of golden lyre, With voices of that angel choir, Convey to thee the glad refrain, "Peace on earth, good will to men"? 5 Didst thou the trembling Herod see? And witness too his cruelty? Or in deep sorrow veil thy face, And onward rush through realms of space? 6 Brightest of Cassiopeia’s train, O wondrous star, shine out again! Shine out, O glory-beaming gem, That stood of old o’er Bethlehem! 7 Listen, O star, to our appeal, And thy mysterious lore reveal; Shed o’er the world celestial light, And put the skeptic’s doubts to flight. 8 And ever may thy radiant rays Turn sinners from their evil ways; And may our eyes behold the light, Which led those men of old aright.
