Song of Two Widows

The sky is dark with storm and cloud

Author: John S.B. Monsell Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #8b (2024) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1. The sky is dark with storm and cloud, The winds are piping high and loud, The outer air is dull and chill, The snow lies heavy on the hill, Yet there is gladness in the soul No clouds or darkness may control, And on the heart a golden glow Warmer than summer sunsets know. 2. God bless the calm and holy cheer That ushers in the Christian year, And whatsoe’er of gloom or shade, Season, or sorrow may have made, Lifts us, with its mysterious pow’r Out of the dark and dying hour Into the lights that ever play Round children of th’ eternal day. 3. Blest Advent of our ling’ring Lord! How high the hope, how sure the word That thus, with ev’ry year’s return, Make our dull hearts within us burn For that long-sought and promised day When “Heav’n and Earth shall pass away,” And Christ from highest heav’ns shall come To take his waiting people home. 4. Since childhood’s early hours, our eyes Have watched the east for redd’ning skies! Year after year has Advent brought Nearer to us the Prize we sought, But still it lingers—oh, that we Were more prepared to welcome thee, Thine Advent with its angel throng Would not be tarrying, Lord, so long.

When Jesus Was A Refugee

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Hymnal: The Song Lingers On #9 (2003) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: When Jesus was a refugeefrom Herod’s cruel tyranny,an exile in a foreign place,a child in need of saving grace,we wonder who it was God ledto shelter him and give him bread.We wonder too, had we been there,would we have been as quick to share?When Jesus left his parents’ home,without a place to call his own,he walked with strangers on the streetand lived with those he chanced to meet--a fisherman in Galilee,and newfound friends in Bethany.Would we have welcomed him that way,and given him a place to stay?When Jesus died upon a crossalone, with few to mourn his loss,a friend came forth to offer roomfor him within a garden tomb.They gently took his body there,anointing him with tender care.Would we have heeded God’s requestand helped to lay our Lord to rest?Now risen, Christ still makes his homewith everyone who walks alone,and, with the people on the street,still waits in line for bread to eat.The time is now. We must decide.Will we pass by the other side,or will we follow Love’s commandand reach out with a helping hand?
