What's the News?
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 72 hymnals First Line: Whene'er we meet you always say Lyrics: 1 Whene’er we meet you always say,—
"What’s the news? What’s the news?"
Pray, what’s the order of the day—
What’s the news? What’s the news?
Oh, I have got good news to tell!
My Saviour hath done all things well,
And triumphed over death and hell—
That’s the news! That’s the news!
2 The Lamb was slain on Calvary—
That’s the news! That’s the news!
To set a world of sinners free—
That’s the news! That’s the news!
For us He bowed His sacred head,
For us His precious blood was shed,
And now He’s risen from the dead,
That’s the news! That’s the news!
3 The Lord has pardon'd all my sin—
That’s the news! That’s the news!
I feel the witness now within—
That’s the news! That’s the news!
And since He took my guilt away,
And taught me how to watch and pray,
I’m happy now from day to day—
That’s the news! That’s the news!
4 And Jesus Christ can save you too—
That’s the news! That’s the news!
Your sinful heart He can renew—
That’s the news! That’s the news!
This moment, if for sins you grieve,
This moment, if you do believe,
A ready pardon you’ll receive—
That’s the news! That’s the news!
5 And then if any one should say—
"What’s the news! What’s the news?"
Oh, tell them you’ve begun to pray!—
That’s the news! That’s the news!
That you have joined the conqu'ring band,
And now, with joy, at God’s command,
You’re marching to the better land—
That’s the news! That’s the news! Topics: The Gospel Used With Tune: GOOD NEWS

All hail! our Church's Elder dear
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: All hail, thy church's Savior dear Lyrics:
All hail! our Church's Elder dear,
Jesus, her glorious head!
To Thy disciples now appear,
As risen from the dead;
Let our rejoicing souls in Thee,
The tokens of Thy Passion see,
And hear Thy gentle voice anew,
Say "Peace be unto you."
Remembering what our fathers told,
Thou didst in their young day,
This solemn Jubilee we hold,
That we, as then did they,
Ourselves in covenant may bind,
With soul and strength, and heart and mind,
Through life and death, on land, o'er sea,
Meekly to follow Thee.
288
Revive Thy work amidst the years,
Our brethren still employ,
O'er heathen soils to sow in tears,
With hope to reap in joy:
Though wide the fields, the labourers few,
If Thou our failing faith renew,
The weakest of Thy servants, we
Can all things do through Thee.
Through Thee, from Greenland's sterile rocks,
Rich harvests have been led;
In Indian forests wandering flocks,
With heavenly knowledge fed;
In island-prisons o'er the sea,
Bond-slaves have been made gospel-free;
Midst lion-haunts, on Afric sands,
Strange tribes lift holy hands.
To-day, one world-neglected race,
We fervently commend
To Thee, and to Thy Word of grace;
Lord, visit and befriend
People scatter'd, peel'd, and rude,
By land and ocean-solitude,
Cut off from ev'ry social shore,
In dreary Labrador.
Thither, while to and fro she steers,
Still guide our annual bark1313For particulars of the missionary
ship, and the providence which has preserved her through so many perilous
annual voyages, vide periodical accounts of the Missions of
the United Brethren. ,
289
By night and day, through hopes and fears,
While, lonely as the ark,
Along her single track she braves,
Gulphs, whirlpools, ice-fields, winds, and waves,
To waft glad tidings to the shore
Of longing Labrador.
How welcome to the watching eye,
From morn till evening fix'd,
The first faint speck that shews her nigh,
Where surge and sky are miss'd;
Till looming large, and larger yet,
With bounding prow, and sails full set,
She speeds to anchor on the shore
Of joyful Labrador.
Then hearts with hearts, and souls with souls,
In thrilling transport meet,
Though dark and broad the Atlantic rolls,
Between their parted feet:
For written words, with boundless range,
Thoughts, feelings, prayers, can interchange,
And once a year join Britain's shore
To kindred Labrador.
Then at the vessel's glad return,
The absent meet again;
At home our hearts within us burn,
To trace the cunning pen,
Whose strokes, like rays from star to star,
Bring happy messages from far,
And once a year to Britain's shore
Join Christian Labrador.
290
O Thou, in whom we all are one,
If faithful found and true,
Thy will on earth by each be done,
As each in heaven would do:
To Thee ourselves we first would give,
Live to Thy glory while we live;
From step to step on Thee rely,
Then in Thy service die.

Under The Stars
Author: Anna S. Driscoll Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: Under the stars, one holy night, Lyrics: 1 Under the stars, one holy night,
A little Babe was born;
Over His head a star shone bright,
And glistened till the morn;
And wise men came from far away,
And shepherds wondered where He lay
Upon His lowly bed of hay,
Under the stars one night.
2 Under the stars, one blessed night,
The Christ-Child came on earth,
And thro’ the darkness broke the light
Of morning at His birth!
And sweet hosannas filled the air,
And guardian angels watched Him where
The virgin mother knelt in prayer,
Under the stars one night.
3 Under the stars this happy night,
We wait for Him once more,
And seem to see the wondrous sight
The shepherds saw of yore.
O Baby born in Bethlehem!
Come to us as You came to them,
And crown us with love’s diadem,
Under the stars tonight. Used With Tune: CAMDEN MARKET Text Sources: Bible Study Songs, by Bertha F. Vella and Daniel. B. Towner (Boston: The Pilgrim Press, 1899)
