I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Author: Henry W. Longfellow Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 116 hymnals First Line: I heard the bells on Christmas day Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men. 2 And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th’ unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. 3 Till ringing, singing on its way The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime Of peace on earth, good will to men. 4 And in despair I bowed my head: “There is no peace on earth,” I said, “For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men.” 5 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: “God is not dead, nor does He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, good will to men.” Scripture: Luke 2:13-14 Used With Tune: WALTHAM Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/I_Heard_the_Bells_on_Christmas_Day); The Cyber Hymnal (http://www.hymntime.com/tch/htm/i/h/iheardtb.htm)

Who is so high that I’ve no path to him? Who is so poor I may not feel his hunger? Who is so rich I may not pity him? 5 Who is so hurt I may not know his heartache? Who sings for joy my heart may never share? Who in God’s heav’n has passed beyond my vision? Who to hell’s depths where I may never fare? 6 May none, then, call on me for understanding, May none, then, turn to me for help in pain, And drain alone his bitter cup of sorrow, Or find he knocks upon my heart in vain.

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Lyte Meter: 15.15.15.15 Appears in 1,304 hymnals First Line: Jesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow Thee Lyrics: Jesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow Thee;Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shall be.Perish every fond ambition, all I’ve sought or hoped or known;Yet how rich is my condition! God and heav’n are still mine own.Let the world despise and leave me, they have left my Savior, too;Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue.And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might,Foes may hate and friends disown me, show Thy face and all is bright.Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come, disaster, scorn and pain!In Thy service pain is pleasure; with Thy favor, loss is gain.I have called Thee, “Abba, Father”; I have set my heart on Thee:Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, all must work for good to me.Man may trouble and distress me, ’twill but drive me to Thy breast;Life with trials hard may press me; heav’n will bring me sweeter rest.Oh, ’tis not in grief to harm me, while Thy love is left to me;Oh, ’twere not in joy to charm me, were that joy unmixed with Thee.Take, my soul, thy full salvation; rise o’er sin, and fear, and care;Joy to find in every station something still to do or bear:Think what Spirit dwells within thee; what a Father’s smile is thine;What a Savior died to win thee, child of heav’n, shouldst thou repine?Haste then on from grace to glory, armed by faith, and winged by prayer,Heav’n’s eternal day’s before thee, God’s own hand shall guide thee there.Soon shall close thy earthly mission, swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;Hope soon change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
