The New-Born Child This Early Morn

Author: Cyriacus Schneegass; Emmaneul Cronenwett Hymnal: CYBER #11649 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The new-born Child this early morn, The dear Christ-child of virgin born, Again brings from His heav’nly home A New Year to all Christendom. 2 This causes joy to angels fair, Who love to keep us in their care; They sing that in this wondrous Child God now with man is reconciled. 3 If God be reconciled with men, What harm can Satan do us then? O’er Satan, death, and gates of hell, This Christ-child shall for us prevail. 4 He brings the year of jubilee! Why doubt we yet despondently? Cheer up! This is a joyous day, The Christ-child drives all care away. Languages: English Tune Title: ALSTONE

Confidence

Author: Frederic A. Graves Hymnal: CYBER #11653 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Lord, clasp my faltering hand in Thine Lyrics: 1 Lord, clasp my faltering hand in Thine; Too weak I am to walk alone; My path, dear Lord, I would not choose, But ever say, "Thy will be done." 2 Tempted at times, to trust in self, And in this self, feel brave and strong; Help, in my weakness, Thee to trust, To do the right, and shun the wrong. 3 I’ll trust in Thee each day, and hour, As through this sinful world I go; I’ll lean upon Thine arm of power, And then defeat I ne’er shall know. 4 If I in Thee shall fall asleep, Or in the clouds shall see Thee come, Then, where there’ll be no cause to weep, Greet me, my Savior, in that home.

As On A Hill Top Gained At Last

Author: James D. Burns, 1823-1864 Hymnal: CYBER #11659 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: As on a hill-top gained at last Lyrics: 1 As on a hill-top gained at last, By many a step, we stand today, To look behind us on the past, Before us on o’er our future way. 2 A year of Sabbaths come and gone, Months bright with mercies meet our gaze; Thy hand, O God, hath led us on, Thy goodness claims our song of praise. 3 Within Thy house can we forget Our Father’s love, so rich and free? Can we forget the mighty debt, Our Savior, that we owe to Thee ? 4 Oh may the year that now begins, Behold us choose the heavenward way, Redeem the time, forsake our sins, And follow Thee, Lord, day by day. 5 Today to each the choice is giv’n, How long it may be, who can tell— On this side lies the bliss of Heav’n, On that the awful gloom of hell. 6 Jesus, Thy pleading look we see, Thy wounded hands, Thy thorn-wreathed brow— Help us to yield our hearts to Thee— To yield them all, and yield them now.

A Halo Rests Upon Thy Brow

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: CYBER #11663 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A halo rests upon Thy brow, O Savior of the sons of men; For Thou art crowned a victor now— But Thou wilt come to us again. 2 Thou hast a thought for those who tread The steeps of life, and often fail; The weak in faith lift up the head, And in Thy strength, O Christ, prevail. 3 Thou art not far removed from those, That yearn for Thee, and seek Thy grace; Who in Thy tender love repose, May hear Thy voice, and see Thy face— 4 And know the love that giveth rest, And share its strength, and feel its glow; As he who leaned upon Thy breast, When Thou wert with us, long ago. 5 But hearts are sad, and lives are lone, They long for Thee, who love Thee most; E’en when Thy promised Gift they own— The comfort of the Holy Ghost. 6 Thou art our faith, our hope, our love, O Lover of the souls of men; Bow down Thy heav’ns, and from above, Come, blessèd Lord, to us again.

No Human Eyes Thy Face May See

Author: Thomas W. Higginson Hymnal: CYBER #11735 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 No human eyes Thy face may see; No human thought Thy form may know; But all creation dwells in Thee, And Thy great life through all doth flow. 2 And yet, O strange and wondrous thought: Thou art a God who hearest prayer, And every heart with sorrow fraught To seek Thy present aid may dare. 3 And though most weak our efforts seem Into one creed these thoughts to bind, And vain the intellectual dream, To see and know the Eternal Mind— 4 Yet Thou wilt turn them not aside, Who cannot solve Thy life divine, But would give up all reason’s pride, To know their hearts approved by Thine. 5 And Thine unceasing love gave birth To our dear Lord, Thy holy Son, Who left a perfect proof on earth, That duty, love, and truth are one. 6 So, though we faint on life’s dark hill, And thought grow weak, and knowledge flee, Yet faith shall teach us courage still, And love shall guide us on to Thee!

Not To Ourselves

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: CYBER #11760 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Not to ourselves, who are but dust Lyrics: 1 Not to ourselves, who are but dust, Not to ourselves is glory due, Eternal God, Thou only just, Thou only gracious, wise and true. 2 Shine forth in all Thy dreadful name; Why should a heathen’s haughty tongue Insult us, and, to raise our shame, Say, Where’s the God you’ve served so long? 3 The God we serve maintains His throne Above the clouds, above the skies; Through all the earth His will is done; He knows our groans, He hears our cries. 4 But the vain idols they adore Are senseless shapes of stone and wood; At best a mass of glittering ore, A silver saint or golden god. 5 With eyes and ears they carve their head; Deaf are their ears, their eyes are blind; In vain are costly offerings made, And vows are scattered in the wind. 6 Their feet were never made to move, Nor hands to save when mortals pray; Mortals that pay them fear or love Seem to be blind and deaf as they. 7 O Israel! make the Lord thy hope, Thy help, thy refuge, and thy rest; The Lord shall build thy ruins up, And bless the people and the priest. 8 The dead can no more speak Thy praise, They dwell in silence and the grave; But we shall live to sing Thy grace, And tell the world Thy power to save.

Now let our faith with joy survey

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: CYBER #11795 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now let our faith with joy survey The glories of the latter day; Its dawn already seems begun, Sure earnest of the rising sun. 2 The friends of truth assembled stand, A chosen, consecrated band, The emblem of the cross display, And cry aloud, "Behold the way!" 3 Behold the way to Zion’s hill, Where Israel’s God delights to dwell; He fixes there His lofty throne, And calls the sacred place His own. 4 "Behold the way!" ye heralds! cry; Spare not, but lift your voices high; Convey the sound from shore to shore, And bid the captive sigh no more. 5 Auspicious dawn! thy rising ray With joy we view, and hail the day; Thou Sun! arise, supremely bright, And fill the world with purest light.

My Bird

Author: Emily C. Judson Hymnal: CYBER #11839 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ere last year’s moon had left the sky Lyrics: 1 Ere last year’s moon had left the sky, A birdling sought my Indian nest, And folded, O, so lovingly! Her tiny wings upon my breast. 2 From morn till evening’s purple tinge, In winsome helplessness she lies, Two rose-leaves, with a silken fringe, Shut softly on her starry eyes. 3 There’s not in Ind a lovelier bird— Broad earth owns not a happier nest— O God! Thou hast a fountain stirred, Whose waters nevermore shall rest! 4 This beautiful, mysterious thing, This seeming visitant from Heaven This bird, with the immortal wing, To me—to me, Thy hand has given. 5 The pulse first caught its tiny stroke, The blood, its crimson hue from mine— This life, which I have dared invoke, Henceforth is parallel with Thine. 6 A silent awe is in my room, I tremble with delicious fear; The future, with its light and gloom, Time and eternity, is here. 7 Doubts—hopes, in eager tumult, rise— Hear, O my God! one earnest prayer! Room for my bird in paradise, And give her angel plumage there. Languages: English Tune Title: WOODWORTH

Go, Messenger Of Christ, Proclaim

Author: W. H. Brooks Hymnal: CYBER #11863 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Go, messenger of Christ, proclaim The glories of Emmanuel’s name; The nations wait to hear thee tell Of Him who saves from death and hell. 2 Go, armed with truth and filled with love, Go, harmless as the gentle dove, In wisdom and with burning zeal, Go, and the way of life reveal. 3 Go, clothed in majesty divine, Go, and thy grace with glory shine; Go, while the Spirit’s quickening power Doth fit thee for each trying hour. 4 And when against thee foes shall rise And former friends shall thee despise; Remember that the Lord will be A comfort and defense for thee. 5 And when thy work on earth is o’er, And thou shalt preach to men no more, Unceasing joys shall thee await In thine eternal blest estate.

This Is The Word Of Truth And Love

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: CYBER #11873 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 This is the word of truth and love, Sent to the nations from above; Jehovah here resolves to show What His almighty grace can do. 2 This remedy did wisdom find To heal diseases of the mind; This sovereign balm, whose virtues can Restore the ruined creature, man. 3 The Gospel bids the dead revive, Sinners obey the voice, and live; Dry bones are raised and clothed afresh, And hearts of stone are turned to flesh. 4 Where Satan reigned in shades of night The Gospel strikes a heav’nly light; Our lusts its wondrous power controls, And calms the rage of angry souls. 5 Lions and beasts of savage name Put on the nature of the lamb, While the wild world esteem it strange, Gaze, and admire, and hate the change. 6 May but this grace my soul renew, Let sinners gaze and hate me too! The Word that saves me does engage A sure defense from all their rage. Languages: English Tune Title: BURTON
