Now we Bring Our Christmas Treasures
Author: Maria H. Bulfinch Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now we bring our Christmas treasures,
Loving thoughts and deeds we bring.
Child-like hearts we gladly offer
To the child, the children's King;
To the Child, who, in the manger,
Lay upon that Christmas morn,
When the angels came to tell us
That the children's King was born.
2 And He lives, throughout the ages,
Lives and reigns in earth and sky;
Angel hosts still sing the glory
Of the children's King on high.
Yet He cares for children's praises;
So, with heart and voice we sing:
"Glory in the highest glory
To the child, the children's King!"
Amen.

Not Alone for Mighty Empire
Author: William P. Merrill Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 87 hymnals First Line: Not alone for mighty empire, stretching far over land and sea Lyrics: 1. Not alone for mighty empire, stretching far over land and sea,
Not alone for bounteous harvests, lift we up our hearts to Thee.
Standing in the living present, memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving, praise Thee more for things unseen.
2. Not for battleships and fortress, not for conquests of the sword,
But for conquests of the spirit give we thanks to Thee, O Lord;
For the priceless gift of freedom, for the home, the church, the school,
For the open door to manhood, in a land the people rule.
3. For the armies of the faithful, souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines patriot lives of deathless fame.
For our prophets and apostles, loyal to the living Word,
For all heroes of the spirit, give we thanks to Thee, O Lord.
4. God of justice, save the people from the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction, make our nation free indeed;
Keep her faith in simple manhood strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition in the brotherhood of man! Used With Tune: AUSTRIA (Haydn)

Midnight's Sable Hour Is Passing
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Midnight’s sable hour is passing Lyrics: 1 Midnight’s sable hour is passing,
Silence o’er creation reigns;
Nature rests in softest slumbers,
Stars adorn th’ethereal plains;
Now Judea’s gentle shepherds
Watch their sleeping fleecy care;
When the heavenly portals open,
And soft murmurs wake the air.
2 Then behold a glorious angel
Down from Heav’n directs his flight;
And around the rural watchmen
Sheds an overwhelming light;
“Hail! ye shepherds! fear no evil,
I to you glad tidings bring;
Tidings now thro’ Heav’n resounding,
Praise to your eternal King.
3 "Go to Bethle’m, David’s city,
On this happy, happy morn,
Jesus, Lord of men and angels,
There for you today is born!
Go to Bethlehem; there the Infant
In a humble manger laid,
Where you find Him there adore Him,
To Him endless praise be paid."
4 Heave their hearts with glad emotion,
While they listen to his word;
When he ceased, a choir of angels
Sang mostly sweetly of their Lord;
Glory to Jehovah, glory,
Glory to Jehovah’s Son;
Peace and earth and heav’nly blessing,
Man’s redemption is begun!

Light of Ages and of Nations
Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of ages and of nations,
every race and every time
has received thine inspirations,
glimpses of thy truth sublime.
Always spirits in rapt vision
passed the heavenly veil within,
always hearts bowed in contrition
found salvation from their sin.
2 Reason’s noble aspiration truth
in growing clearness saw;
conscience spoke its condemnation,
or proclaimed eternal law.
While thine inward revelations
told thy saints their prayers were heard,
prophets to the guilty nations
spoke thine everlasting word.
3 Lo, that word abideth ever;
revelation is not sealed;
answering now to our endeavor,
truth and right are still revealed.
That which came to ancient sages,
Greek, Barbarian, Roman, Jew,
written in the soul’s deep pages,
shines today, forever new. Topics: Wisdom from the World's Religions Our Common Ground; Free and Responsible Search for Truth and Meaning; The Living Tradition; Nations; Reason and Science; Truth; World Community Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

Glorious Is Your Name, Most Holy
Author: Ruth Eliiott Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious is your name, Most Holy,
God and Father of us all;
We, your servants, bow before you,
Strive to answer every call.
You with life's great good have blest us,
Cared for us from earliest years;
Unto you our thanks we render;
Your deep love overcomes all fears.
2 For our world of need and anguish
We would lift to you our prayer.
Faithful stewards of your bounty,
May we with our brothers share.
In the name of Christ our Savior,
Who redeems and sets us free,
Gifts we bring of heart and treasure,
That our lives may worthier be.
3 In the midst of time we journey;
From your hand comes each new day:
We would use it in your service,
Humbly, wisely, while we may.
So to you, Lord and Creator,
Praise and honor we accord!
Yours the earth and yours the heavens,
Through all time the Eternal Word.
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances Stewardship Scripture: Psalm 66:1-2 Used With Tune: AUSTRIAN HYMN
