Two Thousand Years Since Bethlehem

Author: Brian Hoare, 1935- Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Luke 2:40 Lyrics: 1 Two thousand years since Bethlehem first welcomed Jesus' birth: the startling truth began to dawn that God had come to earth. And as he grew and lived and taught a different way unfurled: a way of joy and love and peace, a new start for the world! 2 Two thousand years since Galilee where Jesus preached and healed; in words of truth and works of power God's kingdom was revealed. As young and old and rich and poor responded to his call, they found what we may find today: a new start for us all! 3 Two thousand years since Calvary, the hill where Jesus died; the Lamb of God, the sinless one, for me was crucified. But soon he rose up from the grave to reign in victory; good news I scarcely can believe; a new start won for me! 4 Two thousand years since Pentecost: the Holy Spirit came in sound of mighty, rushing wind and tongues of living flame; a gift to all who will believe and live the Jesus way; the power of God we may receive, a new start from today! 5 Two thousand years of Christian faith have changed our history, for Jesus is the Lord of time and of eternity. For all who seek a better way, than failure, sin and pain, still Jesus Christ makes all things new: a chance to start again! Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Girlhood's peace from me is torn; well I know a mother's fearing, hope miscarried, joy stillborn. Lullaby, lullaby, God has heard a mother's cry, lullaby. 2 Grow, my child, in body chosen by the God who made the earth; mine the answer, in confusion, young, unready to give birth. Lullaby, lullaby, God awaits a baby's cry, lullaby. 3 Sleep, my child, for love surrounds us; we have not been left alone. Though disgrace and shame may hound us, Joseph stays and shields his own. Lullaby, lullaby, Word of God in baby's cry, lullaby. 4 Wake, my child, the world is crying, calls you, evil's power to cross; opens you to early dying, motherhood's most dreaded loss. Lullaby, lullaby, pain of God in mother's cry, lullaby. 5 Go, my child, grace protect you, shape your living, fill your breath; by its power to resurrect you, break the grip of fear and death. Lullaby, lullaby, hope for all in mother's cry, lullaby. Topics: Christmas; Mary; Christian Year; Epiphany Used With Tune: DANIEL'S
