Into the Woods

Author: Sidney C. Lanier Hymnal: CYBER #3019 Meter: Irregular First Line: Into the woods my Master went Lyrics: 1. Into the woods my Master went, Clean forspent, forspent, Into the woods my Master came, Forspent with love and shame. But the olives they were not blind to Him. The little grey leaves were kind to Him, The thorn tree had a mind to Him, When into the woods He came. 2. Out of the woods my Master came And he was well content; Out of the woods my Master came, Content with death and shame. When death and shame would woo Him last, From under the trees they drew Him last, ’Twas on a tree they slew Him—last When out of the woods He came. Languages: English Tune Title: LANIER

Jesus, Let Thy Pitying Eye

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CYBER #3361 Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1. Jesus, let Thy pitying eye Call back a wandering sheep; False to Thee, like Peter, I Would fain, like Peter, weep. Let me be by grace restored; On me be all long-suffering shown; Turn, and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 2. Savior, Prince, enthroned above, Repentance to impart, Give me, through Thy dying love, The humble, contrite heart; Give what I have long implored, A portion of Thy grief unknown; Turn, and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 3. See me, Savior, from above, Nor suffer me to die; Life, and happiness, and love Drop from Thy gracious eye; Speak the reconciling word, And let Thy mercy melt me down; Turn, and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 4. Look, as when Thy languid eye Was closed that we might live; Father, at the point to die My Savior prayed, forgive! Surely, with that dying word, He turns, and looks, and cries, ’Tis done! O my bleeding, loving Lord, Thou break’st my heart of stone! Languages: English Tune Title: CONTRITION

The Kings of the East are Riding

Author: Katharine L Bates Hymnal: CYBER #3527 Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1. The kings of the east are riding Tonight to Bethlehem; The sunset glows dividing, The kings of the east are riding, A star their journey guiding, Gleaming with gold and gem. The kings of the east are riding Tonight to Bethlehem. 2. To a strange sweet harp of Zion The starry host troops forth: The golden-glaived Orion To a strange sweet harp of Zion, The Archer and the Lion, The Watcher of the north: To a strange sweet harp of Zion The starry host sweeps forth. 3. There beams above a manger The child-face of a star; Amid the stars a stranger, It beams above a manger, What means this ether-ranger To pause where poor folk are? There beams above a manger The child-face of a star. Languages: English Tune Title: WALLACE (Hamilton)

There's a Voice in the Wilderness Crying

Author: James L. Milligan Hymnal: CYBER #6499 Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1. There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, A call from the ways untrod: Prepare in the desert a highway, A highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, The lofty hills brought low; Make straight all the crooked places, Where the Lord our God may go! 2. O Zion, that bringest good tidings, Get thee up to the heights and sing! Proclaim to a desolate people The coming of their King. Like the flowers of the field they perish, The works of men decay, The power and pomp of nations Shall pass like a dream away. 3. But the word of our God endureth, The arm of the Lord is strong; He stands in the midst of nations, And He will right the wrong. He shall feed His flock like a shepherd, And fold the lambs to His breast; In pastures of peace He’ll lead them, And give to the weary rest. 4. There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, A call from the ways untrod: Prepare in the desert a highway, A highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, The lofty hills brought low; Make straight all the crooked places, Where the Lord our God may go! Languages: English Tune Title: HEREFORD (Heins)

Where Can One Look for Wisdom?

Author: Susan H. Peterson Hymnal: CYBER #7349 Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1. Where can one look for wisdom? Where understanding find? Man does not grasp its value— More than can be mined. It can’t be bought with finest gold, Silver, or jewels so rare. Priced far beyond all rubies, Nothing can compare. 2. Where then does wisdom come from? Where understanding dwell? God comprehends the pathway, He alone knows well. He views the ends of all the earth; He sees the world He formed. He has established wisdom, Tested and confirmed. 3. Fear of the Lord is wisdom; Seek it and you will find. Cry out for understanding; Let it fill your mind. Search as for hidden treasure; Look for it every day. This is the path to wisdom; Follow all the way. Languages: English Tune Title: WORK SONG

When Mothers of Salem

Author: William M. Hutchings Hymnal: CYBER #7571 Meter: Irregular First Line: When mothers of Salem their children brought to Jesus Lyrics: 1. When mothers of Salem their children brought to Jesus, The stern disciples drove them back and bade them to depart: But Jesus saw them ere they fled and sweetly smiled and kindly said, Suffer little children to come unto Me.; 2. For I will receive them and fold them to My bosom: I’ll be a shepherd to these lambs, O drive them not away; For if their hearts to Me they give, they shall with Me in glory live: Suffer little children to come unto Me. 3. How kind was our Savior to bid these children welcome! But there are many thousands who have never heard His name; The Bible they have never read, they know not that the Savior said, Suffer little children to come unto Me. 4. O soon may the heathen of every tribe and nation Fulfill Thy blessèd Word and cast their idols all away! O shine upon them from above and show Thyself a God of love, Teach the little children to come unto Thee! Languages: English Tune Title: SALEM (Methfessel)

Work, for the Night Is Coming

Author: Anna L. Coghill; Lowell Mason Hymnal: CYBER #7621 Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1. Work, for the night is coming, Work through the morning hours; Work while the dew is sparkling, Work ’mid springing flowers; Work when the day grows brighter, Work in the glowing sun; Work, for the night is coming, When man’s work is done. 2. Work, for the night is coming, Work through the sunny noon; Fill brightest hours with labor, Rest comes sure and soon. Give every flying minute, Something to keep in store; Work, for the night is coming, When man works no more. 3. Work, for the night is coming, Under the sunset skies; While their bright tints are glowing, Work, for daylight flies. Work till the last beam fadeth, Fadeth to shine no more; Work, while the night is darkening, When man’s work is o’er. Languages: English Tune Title: WORK SONG

O Holy Jesu, Prince Of Peace!

Author: Robert Brown-Borthwick Hymnal: CYBER #8035 Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 O holy Jesu, Prince of Peace! Thy peace be with us gathering round Thy board, Here, where the presence of an unseen Lord Waits to be gracious, charged with full release To every heavy laden soul Which here remembers Thee. 2 Once more, as in that upper room, Thou who didst love Thine own unto the end, Thou whose dear voice to every sorrowing friend Spoke the great promise through the deepening gloom, Thou bidd’st us, Master of the feast, Today remember Thee! 3 And e’en as in our hands we take This broken bread, this precious cup of love, Thy dying testament, which from above Thou deignest ever new and fresh to make, A fount of grace and life to all; We do remember Thee! 4 Ours is the bond of love divine, Which knits us each to all and all to each; That love whose ever lengthening cords can reach From the white choir around Thy heavenly shrine To those who come in faith today Here to remember Thee. 5 Thy banquet over, as we go, Strong in the strength of this celestial meat, To tread the path of life with firmer feet, To work the works which Thou hast bid us do, Abide with us, O Lord, that still We may remember Thee!

O Starry Night

Author: William A. May Hymnal: CYBER #9346 Meter: Irregular First Line: O starry night, thy silver light Lyrics: 1 O starry night, thy silver light Doth o’er the world its rare radiance shed; Just as of old, when, we are told, Men to the Babe in a manger were led. As through the ages comes Thy sweet song, First given to earth by celestial throng; So, for all men, still shines Thy star, And to all men speeds Thy story afar. 2 Peace among men! sing it again! Hark to the chorus now girdling the earth! Good will to all! It is God’s call, Telling the nations of Christ’s glorious birth. Peace and good will to men, let us sing, Glory to God! let the chiming bells ring! Heaven and earth with joy resound— Hope, love and grace for all men, now abound.
