Sing to the LORD, Ye Distant Lands

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 199 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing to the LORD, ye distant lands, ye tribes of ev'ry tongue; his new-discovered grace demands a new and nobler song. Tell all the nations, "Jesus reigns, God's own almighty Son; his pow'r the sinking world sustains, and grace surrounds his throne." 2 Let heav'n proclaim the joyful day; let joy on earth be seen; let cities shine in bright array, and fields in cheerful green. Let joy above all joys surprise the islands of the sea; ye mountains sink; ye valleys rise; prepare the LORD his way. 3 Behold, he comes, he comes to bless the nations as their God, to show the world his righteousness, and send his truth abroad. But when his voice shall raise the dead, and bid the world draw near, how will the guilty nations dread to see their judge appear.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 867 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in the dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav'n. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel!

All Beautiful the March of Days

Author: Frances W. Wile, 1878-1939 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, As seasons come and go; The hand that shaped the rose hath wrought The crystal of the snow, Hath sent the hoary frost of heav'n, The flowing waters sealed, And laid a silent loveliness On hill and wood and field. 2 O'er white expanses sparkling pure The radiant morns unfold; The solemn splendors of the night Burn brighter through the cold. Life mounts in ev'ry throbbing vein, Love deepens round the hearth, And clearer sounds the angel hymn, "Good will to men on earth." 3 O Thou from whose unfathomed law The year in beauty flows, Thyself the vision passing by In crystal and in rose, Day unto day doth utter speech, And night to night proclaim, In ever-changing words of light, The wonder of Thy name.

Eternal Spirit, God of Truth

Author: Thomas Cotterill Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit, God of truth, our contrite hearts inspire; ignite a flame of heav'nly love, and feed the pure desire. 'Tis thine to soothe the sorr'wing mind, with guilt and fear oppressed; 'tis thine to bid the dying live, and give the weary rest. 2 Subdue the pow'r of ev'ry sin, whate'er that sin may be, that we, in singleness of heart, may worship only thee. Then with our spirit witness bear that we are sons of God, redeemed from sin and death and hell thro' Christ's atoning blood.

Come, Let Us Join Our Friends Above

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 348 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, let us join our friends above who have obtained the prize, and on the eagle wings of love to joys celestial rise. Let saints on earth unite to sing with those to glory gone, for all the servants of our King in earth and heaven are one. 2. One family we dwell in him, one church above, beneath, though now divided by the stream, the narrow stream of death; one army of the living God, to his command we bow; part of his host have crossed the flood, and part are crossing now. 3. Ten thousand to their endless home this solemn moment fly, and we are to the margin come, and we expect to die. E'en now by faith we join our hands with those that went before, and greet the blood-besprinkled bands on the eternal shore. 4. Our spirits too shall quickly join, like theirs with glory crowned, and shout to see our Captain's sign, to hear his trumpet sound. O that we now might grasp our Guide! O that the word were given! Come, Lord of Hosts, the waves divide, and land us all in heaven.
