The Race That Long in Darkness Pined
Author: John Morison, 1750-1798 Hymnal: AMEC1984 #101 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The race that long in darkness pined
Have seen a glorious Light;
The people dwell in day, who dwelt
In death’s surrounding night,
The people dwell in day, who dwelt
In death’s surrounding night.
2 To us a Child of hope is born,
To us a Son is given;
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
Him all the hosts of heaven,
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
Him all the hosts of heaven.
3 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
For evermore adored;
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The great and mighty Lord,
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The great and mighty Lord.
4 His power, increasing, still shall spread;
His reign no end shall know:
Justice shall guard His throne above,
And peace abound below,
Justice shall guard His throne above
And peace abound below. Topics: Jesus Christ Advent and Nativity; Jesus Advent and Nativity Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-9 Languages: English Tune Title: ZERAH

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
Author: Emily E. S. Elliott, 1836-1897 Hymnal: AMEC1984 #105 (2011) Meter: Irregular First Line: Thou didst leave thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
For Thy holy Nativity:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
There is room in my heart for Thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
Proclaiming Thy royal degree;
But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,
And in great humility:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
There is room in my heart for Thee.
3 The foxes found rest and the birds their nest
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God,
In the desert of Galilee:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
There is room in my heart for Thee.
4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word
That should set Thy people free;
But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus!
Thy Cross is my only plea.
5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,
At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me home, saying, "Yet there is room,
There is room, at My side for thee:"
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus!
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus!
When Thou comest and callest for me.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Advent and Nativity; Ascription; Consecration; Invitation; Processionals; Youth Scripture: John 1:11 Languages: English Tune Title: VENI

Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: AMEC1984 #107 (2011) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son!
Hail in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Are precious in His sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth;
Love, joy, and hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth.
Before Him, on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald, go,
And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.
4 To Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His Name shall stand forever;
That Name to us is Love.
Amen.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed
It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: AMEC1984 #108 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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 through 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. Topics: Jesus Christ Advent and Nativity; Christmas; Jesus Advent and Nativity Scripture: Luke 2:13-14 Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL
It Came upon the Midnight Clear
O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Hymnal: AMEC1984 #109 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 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 thy 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 wondering 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 given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
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!
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Advent and Nativity; Christmas; Jesus Advent and Nativity; Recessionals; Victory Scripture: Micah 5:2 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS
O Little Town of Bethlehem
While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around,
And glory shone around.
2 "Fear not!" said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind,
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind,
To you and all mankind.
3 "To you, in David's town, this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign,
And this shall be the sign:
4 "The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid,
And in a manger laid."
5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song,
Addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease,
Begin and never cease."
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Advent and Nativity; Christmas; Jesus Advent and Nativity Scripture: Luke 2:14 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS
