Hark, a burst of heavenly music!

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #21 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas First Line: Hark, a burst of heavenly music Lyrics: 1 Hark, a burst of heavenly music From a band of seraphs bright, Suddenly to earth descending In the calm and silent night! And the shepherds of Judea, Watching in the earliest dawn, Hear the glad and joyful tidings, "Jesus, Prince of Peace, is born!" Sweet and clear those angel voices, Echoing through the starry sky, As they chant the heavenly chorus, "Glory be to God on high!" 2 Slumbering in a lowly manger Lies the mighty Lord of all; And before the holy stranger See the trembling shepherds fall. He has come, the long-expected, Full of wisdom, love, and grace, To redeem His ruined creatures, To restore our fallen race. So let angels wake the chorus! So let ransomed men reply! Chanting the celestial anthem, "Glory be to God on high!" 3 And this joyful Christmas morning, Breaking o'er the world below, Tells against the wondrous story Shepherds heard so long ago. Who shall still our tuneful voices, Who the tide of praise shall stem, Which the blessed angels taught us In the fields of Bethlehem? Hark! we hear again the chorus, Ringing through the starry sky, And we join the heavenly anthem, "Glory be to God on high!"

O little town of Bethlehem

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #26 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy darkness shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to-night. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God our King, And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us to-day. We hear the Christmas angels, The great glad tidings tell: Oh, come to us; abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel!

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #15 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Advent Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free; To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succor speedy To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing; Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; And love, joy, hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth. Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 For Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand forever; That Name to us is Love.

Oh! how shall I receive Thee?

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #16 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Advent First Line: Oh! how shall I receive Thee Lyrics: 1 Oh! how shall I receive Thee, How greet Thee, Lord, aright? All nations long to see Thee, My hope, my heart's Delight! Oh, kindle, Lord, most holy, Thy lamp within my breast, To do in spirit, lowly, All that will please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing. And branches fresh and fair; My heart, its powers renewing, An anthem shall prepare. My souls puts off her sadness Thy glories to proclaim; With all her strength and gladness She fain would serve Thy Name. 3 I lay in fetters groaning, Thou com'st to set me free: I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com'st to honor me. A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thine incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me; Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. Oh, love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice, then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom: He, who alone can cheer you, Is standing at the door; He brings His pity near you, And bids you weep no more.

O'er the distant mountains breaking

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #17 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Advent First Line: O'er the distant mountains breaking Lyrics: 1 O'er the distant mountains breaking Comes the reddening dawn of day; Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking, Rise, and sing, and watch, and pray; 'Tis Thy Saviour, 'Tis Thy Saviour, On His bright returning way. 2 O Thou long-expected! Wear Waits my anxious soul for Thee; Life is dark, and earth is dreary, Where Thy light I do not see; O my Saviour, O my Saviour, When wilt Thou return to me? 3 Nearer is my soul's salvation, Spent the night, the day at hand; Keep me in my lowly station, Watching for Thee, till I stand, O my Saviour, O my Saviour, In Thy bright and promsied land. 4 With my lamp, well trimmed and burning, Swift to hear and slow to roam, Watching for Thy glad returning, To restore me to my home. Come, my Saviour, Come, my Saviour, Thou hast promised; quickly come.

All hail to thee, O blessed morn!

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #18 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas Lyrics: 1 All hail to thee, O blessed morn! To tidings, long by prophets borne, Hast Thou fulfillment given. A sacred and immortal day, When unto earth, in glorious ray, Descends the grace of heaven! Singing, Ringing, Sounds are blending, Praises sending Unto heaven For the Lord to mankind given. 2 'Tis God's own Image and, withal, The Son of Man, that mortals all May find in Him a brother. He comes with peace and love to bide On earth, the erring race to guide, And help, as could no other; Rather Gather Closer, fonder, Sheep that wander, Feed and fold them, Than let evil powers hold them. 3 He tears, like other men, will shed, Our sorrows share, and be our aid, Through His eternal power; The Lord's good will unto us show, And mingle in our cup of woe The drops of mercy's shower; Dying, Buying, Through His passion Our salvation, And to mortals Opening the heavenly portals. 4 He comes, for our redemption sent, And by His glory heaven is rent To close upon us never; Our blessed Shepherd He would be, Whom we may follow faithfully And be with Him forever; Higher, Nigher, Glory winging, Praises singing To the Father And His Son, our Lord and Brother.

O wondrous Child! Of the Virgin, undefiled! Though by all the world disowned, Still to be in heaven enthroned. 4 From the Father forth He came And returneth to the same; Captive leading death and hell,-- High the song of triumph swell! 5 Equal to the Father now, Though to dust Thou once didst bow, Boundless shall Thy kingdom be; When shall we its glories see? 6 Brightly doth Thy manger shine! Glorious in its light divine: Let not sin o'ercloud this light, Ever be our faith thus bright.
