Bethlehem

Author: Henry W. Frost Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O Bethlehem, sweet Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 O Bethlehem, sweet Bethlehem, To thee my song I sing; To thee I raise my humble lay, Thou city of the King. Above thy courts the angels sang Their brightest seraph song, And, faintly echoing their refrain, I would their praise prolong. 2 I see thy wide and wooded fields, Thy rocky slopes and hills, Thy valleys deep, where waters flow, In sparkling, tuneful rills. Thy balmy air is rich with scent, Of olive and of vine, Thy trees hang low with ripened fruit, Thy vats o’erflow with wine. 3 Thy shepherd boys, like David, lead Their flocks with winsome call, Across thy uplands bright, and through Deep vales where shadows fall. Thy dusky men and ruddy maids Are scattered ’cross the plain— Where Ruth once followed Boaz’s men— And harvest golden grain. 4 Thy mothers hush their babes to rest, With hymns of David’s Lord, Thy sing how in yon cave He came To heav’nly love afford; The scene is fair, and all is joy About thy well kept walls; Yea, sorrows never touch thy gates, Thy hearthstones or thy halls. 5 Beyond is darksome Calvary And sad Gethsemane; But shadows flee, bright Bethlehem, Whene’er they come to thee! Lo, as I gaze, a vision breaks: Behold, I see the Child Lie once again in cave of stone, All pure and undefiled. 6 The virgin mother bends above, To watch the face divine, From which, so fair and beautiful, Bright rays of glory shine; And oh, what longings fill my soul, As I behold my Lord! I fall and worship at His feet, My every sin abhorred. 7 And here I pray to be like Him, A holy infant child, All meek and gentle, sweet and good, All pure and undefiled! And so to thee, O Bethlehem, My song of love I sing; All praise to thee, sweet Bethlehem, Thou city of my king! Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM Text Sources: Pilgrim Songs by Henry W. Frost (New York: Gospel Publishing House, 1908)

Our Father! Thy Dear Name Doth Show

Author: Charles H. Richards Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our Father! Thy dear Name doth show The greatness of thy love; All are thy children here below As in thy heaven above. One family on earth are we Throughout its widest span: O help us everywhere to see The brotherhood of man. 2 Alike we share thy tender care; We trust one heav'nly Friend; Before one mercy-seat in prayer In confidence we bend; Alike we hear thy loving call; One heav'nly vision scan, One Lord, one faith, one hope for all, The brotherhood of man. 3 Bring in, we pray, the glorious day When battle cries are stilled; When bitter strife is swept away And hearts with love are filled. O help us banish pride and wrong, Which since the world began Have marred its peace; help us make strong The brotherhood of man. Amen. Topics: World Friendship Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM
