O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 O sing a song of Bethlehem,
Of shepherds watching there,
And of the news that came to them
From angels in the air:
The light that shone on Bethlehem
Fills all the world today;
Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
The angels sing alway.
2 O sing a song of Nazareth,
Of sunny days of joy;
O sing of fragrant flowers' breath,
And of the sinless boy:
For now the flowers of Nazareth
In every heart may grow;
Now spreads the fame of his dear name
On all the winds that blow.
3 O sing a song of Galilee,
Of lake and woods and hill,
Of him who walked upon the sea
And bade its waves be still:
For though, like waves on Galilee,
Dark seas of trouble roll,
When faith has heard the Master's word,
Falls peace upon the soul.
4 O sing a song of Calvary,
Its glory and dismay;
Of him who hung upon the tree,
And took our sins away:
For he who died on Calvary
Is risen from the grave,
And Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored,
Is mighty now to save.
Amen. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD
O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 428 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And his shelter was a stable,
And his cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern,
Day by day like us he grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us he knew:
And He comforts us in sadness,
And He shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Through his own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above,
And he leads his children on
To the place where he is gone.
Amen. Scripture: John 7:40-44 Used With Tune: IRBY

Our God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,285 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:
2 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting you are God,
To endless years the same.
3 A thousand ages in your sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
4 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
5 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
O be our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

And make this house your home;

Our emptiness and woe;
And lead us in those paths of life

The wings of peaceful love;
And let the church on earth become
Blest as the church above.

Make a lost world your home;
Descend with all your gracious powers;

Their Rock is our salvation;
Th'eternal arms, their dear abode,
We make our habitation.
We bring you, Lord, the praise they brought,
We seek you as your saints have sought
In every generation.

Their song to us descending;
The Spirit who in them did sing
To us is music lending:
His song in them, in us, is one;
We raise it high, we send it on.
The song is never ending.
3 You saints to come, take up the strain,
The same sweet theme endeavor;
Unbroken be the golden chain!
Keep on the song forever!
Safe in the same dear dwelling place,
Rich with the same eternal grace,
Bless the same boundless Giver.

Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory
Author: Julia Ward Howe Meter: Irregular Appears in 583 hymnals Topics: Other Observances World Peace First Line: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord Refrain First Line: Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Lyrics: 1 Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
[Refrain:]
Glory! glory! hallelujah!
Glory! glory! hallelujah!
Glory! glory! hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
2 I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on. [Refrain]
3 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment seat;
O be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant my feet!
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]
4 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me;
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on. [Refrain]

O Beautiful for Spacious Skies
Author: Katherine Lee Bates Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 536 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Stewardship Lyrics: 1 O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
2 O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
3 O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
4 O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Strong Son of God, Immortal Love
Author: Alfred Tennyson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 144 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 Strong Son of God, immortal Love,
Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove,
2 Thou seemest human and divine,
The highest, holiest manhood, thou.
Our wills are ours, we know not how;
Our wills are ours to make them thine.
3 Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be;
They are but broken lights of thee,
And thou, O Lord, art more than they.
4 Let knowledge grow from more to more,
But more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before.
Amen. Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM OLD
Strong Son of God, Immortal Love
