Saw You Never in the Twilight
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 85 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saw you never, in the twilight,
When the sun had left the skies,
Up in heav'n the clear stars shining
Thro' the gloom, like silver eyes?
So of old the wise men, watching,
Saw a little stranger star,
And they knew the King was given,
And they follow'd it from far.
2 Heard you never of the story
How they crossed the desert wild,
Journeyed on by plain and mountain,
Till they found the holy Child?
How they opened all their treasure,
Kneeling to that infant King;
Gave the gold and fragrant incense,
Gave the myrrh in offering?
3 Know ye not that lowly baby
Was the bright and morning Star?
He who came to light the Gentiles,
And the darken'd isles afar?
And we, too, may seek his cradle;
There our hearts' best treasures bring;
Love, and faith, and true devotion
For our Saviour, God, and King.
Amen.

The eager peoples flocking to be free,
And, from the breeds of earth, Thy silent sway
Fashions the nation of the broadening day.

For hearts aflame to serve Thy destined good,
For faith, and will to win what faith shall see,
God of thy people, hear us cry to thee.

Far Round the World
Author: Basil J. Mathews Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: Far round the world thy children sing their song Lyrics: 1 Far round the world thy children sing their song;
From east and west their voices sweetly blend,
Praising the Lord, in whom young lives are strong,
Jesus our Guide, our Hero, and our Friend.

Beats thro' the ages, on each island shore,
They praise their Lord, whose hand alone can save,
Whose sea of love surrounds them evermore.
3 Thy sun-kissed children on earth's spreading plain,
Where Asia's rivers water all the land,
Sing, as they watch thy fields of glowing grain,
Praise to the Lord who feeds them with his hand.
4 Still there are lands where none have seen thy face,
Children whose hearts have never shared thy joy;
Yet thou wouldst pour on these thy radiant grace,
Give thy glad strength to every girl and boy.
5 All round the world let children sing thy song:
From east and west their voices sweetly blend,
Praising the Lord in whom young lives are strong,
Jesus our Guide, our Hero, and our Friend.
Amen. Topics: Universal Praise Used With Tune: RUTGERS

A Blue-bird Over the Treetops Flew
Author: Louise M. Oglevee Meter: 9.9.9.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A blue-bird over the tree-tops flew,
His breast was red and his wings were blue,
And he sang for joy the whole day thro',
To tell it was Easter time.
2 A bulb lay withered and brown and dead;
But the sun awoke it in its bead,
And a pure white lily raised its head
To tell it was Easter time.
3 An Easter gift by a child was sent
To a land where none knew what Easter meant.
Far away with joyous news it went
To tell it was Easter time. Topics: Easter Used With Tune: THE BLUEBIRD SONG
