Once to every man and nation

Author: James Russell Lowell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 213 hymnals Topics: Social Progress Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, Offering each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 By the light of burning martyrs, Jesus' bleeding feet I track, Toiling up new Calvaries ever With the cross that turns not back; New occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. 3 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 't is truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong, Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow Keeping watch above His own. Amen. Used With Tune: TON-Y-BOTEL

The light of God is falling

Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Social Progress Lyrics: 1 The light of God is falling Upon life's common way; The Master's voice still calling, "Come, walk with Me today"; No duty can seem lowly To him who lives with Thee, And all of life grows holy, O Christ of Galilee! 2 Who shares his life's pure pleasures, And walks the honest road, Who trades with heaping measures, And lifts his brother's load, Who turns the wrong down bluntly, And lends the right a hand, He dwells in God's own country, He tills the Holy Land. 3 Where human lives are thronging In toil and pain and sin, While cloistered hearts are longing To bring the Kingdom in, O Christ, the Elder Brother Of proud and beaten men, When they have found each other, Thy Kingdom will come then! 4 Thy ransomed host in glory, All souls that sin and pray, Turn toward the cross that bore Thee; "Behold the Man!" they say: And while Thy Church is pleading For all who would do good, We hear Thy true voice leading Our song of brotherhood. Amen. Used With Tune: GREENLAND

It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Rev. Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 924 hymnals Topics: Social Progress Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King": The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing. Amen. Used With Tune: CAROL
