A few More Years Shall Roll
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #318 (1901) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Person Name: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest,
Asleep within the tomb:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that great day;
Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
2 A few more storms shall beat
On this wild rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more.
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more.
3 'Tis but a little while
And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we with Him may reign:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day;
Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
Amen. Topics: Death and Resurrection Languages: English Tune Title: CHALVEY

In the Cross of Christ I Glory

Towering o'er the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.

Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me;
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way.
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more lustre to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #28 (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Person Name: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie:
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy darkness shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
2 For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God our King,
And peace to men on earth.
3 How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The Dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us to day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell:
Oh, come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Immanuel! Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

I Love to Steal Awhile Away
Author: Phoebe H. Brown, 1783-1861 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #180 (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Phoebe H. Brown, 1783-1861 Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away
From every cumbering care,
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble grateful prayer,
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble grateful prayer.
2 I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear,
And all His promises to plead
Where none but God can hear,
And all His promises to plead
Where none but God can hear.
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore,
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On Him whom I adore,
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On Him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven;
The prospect doth my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven,
The prospect doth my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.
5 Thus when life's toilsome day is o'er,
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day,
Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day.
Amen. Topics: Worship Languages: English Tune Title: JAG ÄR SÅ GLAD, NÄR JAG FÅR GÅ

How Happy is the man who Hears
Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1768 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #308 (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Michael Bruce, 1746-1768 Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears
Instruction’s warning voice,
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early only choice!
His early only choice!
2 For she has treasures greater far
Than east or west unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold,
Than all their stores of gold.
3 She guides the young with innocence
In happy paths to tread;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head,
Upon the hoary head.
4 According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace,
And all her paths are peace.

Now we Bring Our Christmas Treasures
Author: Maria H. Bulfinch Hymnal: HOoS1901 #31 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Person Name: Maria H. Bulfinch Lyrics: 1 Now we bring our Christmas treasures,
Loving thoughts and deeds we bring.
Child-like hearts we gladly offer
To the child, the children's King;
To the Child, who, in the manger,
Lay upon that Christmas morn,
When the angels came to tell us
That the children's King was born.
2 And He lives, throughout the ages,
Lives and reigns in earth and sky;
Angel hosts still sing the glory
Of the children's King on high.
Yet He cares for children's praises;
So, with heart and voice we sing:
"Glory in the highest glory
To the child, the children's King!"
Amen.
