I heard the voice of Jesus say

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: BWHT1899 #161 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon my breast.” I came to Jesus as I was, Weary, and worn, and sad; I found Him in a resting place, And He and He has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give The living water, thirsty one; stoop down and drink and live.” I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now, and now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, “I am this dark world’s Light; Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright.” I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my Star, my Sun; And in that Light of Life I’ll walk, Till traveling days are done, are done.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

"Fear not," said he,--for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind,-- "Glad tidings of great joy I bring, To you and all mankind. 2 "To you, in David's town this day, Is born of David's line The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord, And this shall be the sign:-- The heavenly babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All simply wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid." 5 Thus spoke the seraph--and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, who thus Addressed their joyful song:-- "All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good-will will henceforth from heaven to men Begin, and never cease!"

Author: James G. Deck Hymnal: BWHT1899 #247 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Lord, when we the path retrace Which Thou on earth hast trod; To men Thy wondrous love and grace, Thy faithfulness to God: Thy love, by man so sorely tried, Proves stronger than the grave; The very spear that pierced Thy side Drew forth the blood to save. 2 Faithful amid unfaithfulness, 'Mid darkness only light, Thou didst Thy Father's name confess, And in His will delight; Unmoved by Satan's subtle wiles, Or suffering, shame, and loss: Thy path, uncheered by earthly smiles Led only to the cross. 3 O Lord! with sorrow and with shame, Before Thee we confess How little we, who bear Thy name, Thy mind, Thy ways express. Give us Thy meek, Thy lowly mind: We would obedient be, And all our rest and pleasure find In learning, Lord, of Thee. Amen.

Author: Anon. Hymnal: BWHT1899 #286 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church My fathers’ and my own! On prophets, and apostles built, And Christ the cornerstone; All else beside, by storm or tide, May yet be overthrown; But not my Church, my dear old Church, My fathers’ and my own. 2 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church! My glory and my pride! Firm in the faith Immanuel taught, She holds no faith beside, Upon this rock, ‘gainst every shock, Though gates of hell assail, She stands secure, with promise sure, “They never shall prevail.” 3 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church! I love her ancient name; And God forbid a child of hers Should ever do her shame; Her mother care I'll ever share; Her child I am alone, Till He who gave me to her arms, Shall call me to His own. 4 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church! Thy child would add a vow To that whose token once was signed Upon his infant brow; Her mother care I'll ever share, Her child I am alone. My Church shall yet be dear to me, My fathers' and my own. Amen.

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: BWHT1899 #530 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train? Who best can drink His cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears His cross below-- He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on Him to save: Like Him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came: Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. They climbed the dizzy steep to heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God! to us may grace be given To follow in their train! Amen.

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: BWHT1899 #596 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields arrayed in living green, And rivers of delight. 2 All o'er those wide-extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns, And scatters night away. No chilling winds nor poisonous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more. 3 When I shall reach that happy place, And be forever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in His bosom rest? Filled with delight, my raptured soul Would here no longer stay; Though Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away. Amen.

Now that the sun is beaming bright

Author: John H. Newman Hymnal: BWHT1899 #3 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Now that the sun is beaming bright, Once more to God we pray, That He, the uncreated Light, May guide our souls this day. 2 No sinful word, no deed of wrong, Nor thoughts that idly rove: But simple truth be on our tongue, And in our hearts be love. 3 And while the hours in order flow, O Christ, securely fence Our gates, beleaguered by the foe, The gate of every sense. 4 And grant that to Thine honor, Lord, Our daily toil may tend: That we begin it at Thy word, And in Thy favor end.
