The Lands That Long in Darkness Lay
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The lands that long in darkness lay
Now have beheld a heav’nly light;
Nations that sat in death’s cold shade
Are blessed with beams divinely bright.
2. The virgin’s promised son is born,
Behold th’expected child appear:
What shall His names or titles be?
The Wonderful, the Counselor.
3. This infant is the mighty God,
Come to be suckled and adored;
Th’eternal Father, Prince of Peace,
The Son of David, and his Lord.
4. The government of earth and seas
Upon His shoulders shall be laid;
His wide dominions still increase,
And honors to His name be paid.
5. Jesus, the holy child, shall sit
High on His father David’s throne;
Shall crush His foes beneath His feet,
And reign to ages yet unknown. Used With Tune: ERNAN Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1709

O Bless the Hour
Author: N. J. Squires Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: O bless the hour when evening comes Lyrics: 1 O bless the hour when evening comes,
And calls us to our place of pray’r;
With joyful heart our feet we turn
To meet Thine own disciples there.
2 With one accord we gather here,
Our wants make known, our sins confess;
Dear Saviour, wilt Thou now appear
And bless, as only Thou canst bless.
3 Our faith increase, our fears remove,
Make strong the weak, the helpless raise;
May ev’ry heart now feel Thy love,
And ev’ry tongue speak forth Thy praise.
4 No want have we Thou canst not fill,
No need but Thou canst fully meet;
May we obey Thy gracious will,
And find our lives in Thee complete. Topics: Character; Christ; Cross; Example Used With Tune: ERNAN

Jesus a Child His Course Begun
Author: Margaret Fuller, 1810-1850 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Jesus a child His work begun Lyrics: 1. Jesus a child His work begun:
How radiant dawned His heavenly day!
And those who such a race would run
As early should be on their way.
2. His Father’s business was His care;
Yet in man’s favor still He grew;
O might we learn by thought and prayer,
Like Him a work of love to do!
3. For all mankind He came, nor yet
An infant’s visit would deny;
Nor friend nor mother did forget
In His last hour of agony.
4. O children, ask Him to impart
That spirit clear, that temper mild,
Which made the mother in her heart
Keep all the sayings of her Child.
5. Bless Him who said, of such as you
His Father’s kingdom is: and still,
His yoke to bear, His work to do,
Study His life to learn His will. Used With Tune: ERNAN Text Sources: Appeared posthumously in her Life Within and Life Without, 1859

How blest the man that fears the Lord
The sun had set on Syria's plain
Author: Toria Buck Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sun had set on Syria's plain,
The night had bloomed with stars again,
When, as his fateful hour drew nigh,
The Saviour knew that he must die.
2 As still drew nigh that hour of dread,
Wait his disciples pale and sad,
When he, with love's compassion sweet,
Knelt lowly down and washed their feet.
3 Draw near to us, O Lord, we pray;
We follow in thy steps to-day;
Here with thy saints 'tis joy to meet,
And bow, and humbly wash their feet.
4 O thou bright King, within whose hand
The ages glide like grains of sand,
Now hear us pray that we may be
All lowly, meek, and pure, like thee.
5 And when the glorious morn shall break
And at thy voice each sleeper wake,
Remember us, O Lord, we pray;
Roll from our grave this stone away! Topics: The Church Lord's Supper Used With Tune: ERNAN
