Thou Uncreated Source of Love

Author: Smith Claiborne Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #301 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: BURLINGTON Lyrics: 1 Thou uncreated Source of Love, The Plant of great renown; My heart, in which sin reigned supreme, With grace doth now abound. 2 The slavish chains of sin are gone, I've made a new resolve; Though floods and flames, though hell oppose, I'll lean upon my God. 3 Thy awful name I will adore, Thy righteous cause defend; I'll cry, Behold the Lamb of God, Whose kingdom has no end. 4 By faith I hear the hammer ring That nailed Thee to the tree; Let every tongue in concert sing, He bled and died for me. AMEN. Topics: Jesus, Our Shepherd Languages: English

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #97 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Tune Title: CAROL Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King." The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing. 2 Still thro' the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way, With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo! The days are hastening on, By prophet-bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing. AMEN. Topics: Advent and Nativity Languages: English

His standard-bearer, I To all the nations call: Let all to Jesus' cross draw nigh, He bore the cross for all. 3 Go up with Christ your Head, Your Captain's footsteps see; Follow your Captain, and be led To certain victory. All power to Him is given; He ever reigns the same: Salvation, happiness, and heaven, Are all in Jesus' name. AMEN. Topics: The Call to Service Languages: English
