In the Cross of Christ I Glory

All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, 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 luster 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.

Incline Thine ear, Thou King of grace, When, praying thus, we seek Thy face. 2 At eventide, Thy Spirit sending, Help us, 0 Lord, our watch to keep, In prayer devout, before Thee bending, Ere our eyelids close in sleep, Confessing sin in deed and word With hope of mercy from the Lord. 3 Abide with us; with heav'nly gladness Illumine, Lord, our darkest day; And when we weep in pain and sadness, Be Thou our solace, strength, and stay. Tell of Thy woe, Thy vict'ry won, When Thou didst pray: "God's will be done." 4 Abide with us, 0 Savior tender, That bitter day when life shall end, When to the grave we must surrender, And fear and pain our hearts shall rend. The shield of faith do Thou bestow When trembling we must meet the foe. 5 When earthly help no more availeth, To sup with us Thou wilt be nigh; Thou givest strength that never faileth, In Thee we grave and death defy. While earth is fading from our sight, Our eyes behold the realms of light. Languages: English Tune Title: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT

Bridges, 1800-94 Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark! how the heav'nly anthem drowns All music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King Through all eternity. 2 Crown Him the Virgin's Son, The God incarnate born, Whose arm those crimson trophies won Which now His brow adorn; Fruit of the mystic rose, As of that rose the stem; The root whence mercy ever flows, The Babe of Bethlehem. 3 Crown Him the Lord of Love, Behold His hands and side, Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified. No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his wond'ring eye At mysteries so bright. 4 Crown Him the Lord of Life, Who triumphed o'er the grave And rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save. His glories now we sing Who died and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring And lives that death may die. 5 Crown Him the Lord of Heav'n, Enthroned in worlds above; Crown Him the King to whom is giv'n The wondrous name of Love. Crown Him with many crowns As thrones before him fall; Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, For He is King of all. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

Brooks, 1835-93 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 dark streets 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 wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to all on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav'n. 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 today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel! Topics: Nativity of our Lord Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS
