All Things Which Live Below the Sky

Author: Edward John Brailsford Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All things which live below the sky, Or move within the sea, Are creatures of the Lord most High, And brothers unto me. 2 I love to hear the robin sing, Perched on the highest bough; To see the rook with purple wing, Follow the shining plough. 3 I love to watch the swallow skim The river in his flight; To mark, when day is growing dim, The glowworm's sil'v'ry light. 4 The seagull whiter than the foam, The fish that dart beneath; The lowing cattle coming home; The goats upon the heath. 5 God taught the wren to build her nest, The lark to soar above, The hen to gather to her breast The offspring of her love. 6 Beneath his heaven there's room for all; He gives to all their meat; He sees the meanest sparrow fall Unnoticed in the street. 7 All-loving Father, King of kings, The helper of the weak, Make me a friend of helpless things, Defender of the weak.

The Sky Can Still Remember

Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sky can still remember The earliest Christmas morn, When in the cold December The Saviour Christ was born. No star unfolds its glory, No trumpet wind is blown, But tells the Christmas story In music of its own. 2 O never-failing splendor! O never-silent song! Still keep the green earth tender, Still keep the gray earth strong, Still keep the brave earth dreaming Of deeds that shall be done, While children’s lives come streaming Like sunbeams from the sun. 3 O angels sweet and splendid, Throng in our hearts and sing The wonders which attended The coming of the King. Till we too, boldly pressing Where once the shepherds trod, Climb Bethlehem’s Hill of Blessing, And find the Son of God. Amen. Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: CHENIES
