O little town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #27a (1958) Person Name: Phillips 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 men on earth! A-men.
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 today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Immanuel!
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS (REDNER)

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 the King,
And peace to men on earth! A-men.

O little town of Bethlehem
Behold a host like mountains bright!
Author: Hans Adolf Brorson, 1694 - 1764 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #599 (1958) Person Name: Hans Adolf Brorson, 1694 - 1764 Lyrics: 1 Behold a host like mountains bright!
Lo! who are these, arrayed in white,
A glorious band, with palms in hand
Around the throne of light?
Lo, these are they who overcame
Great tribulation in his Name,
And with his Blood the Lamb of God
Hath washed away their shame.
Before God's face they sing and pray,
Their voices blend with angels' lay,
And all conspire, a joyous choir,
To laud him night and day.
2 Then sing, ye conquering legions white,
Let myriad voices hail his might,
And praise the Lord, who by his word
Hath stablished you in light.
Ye, who all earthly lure did flee,
Who sowed and toiled, but tears to see,
With rapture bring your sheaves and sing
A heavenly melody.
Lift up your palms, your voices raise
Through heaven's vault and endless days.
To God and to the Lamb is due
Eternity of praise. Topics: The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; The Life In Christ Commemoration Languages: English Tune Title: BEHOLD A HOST

Author: Simon Browne, 1680-1732 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #127 (1958) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Simon Browne, 1680-1732 Lyrics: 1 Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With light and comfort from above;
Be thou our guardian, thou our guide,
O'er every thought and step preside.
2 The light of truth to us display,
And make us know and choose thy way;
Plant holy fear in every heart,
That we from God may ne'er depart. A-men.
3 Lead us to Christ, the living way,
Nor let us from his pastures stray;
Lead us to holiness, the road
That we must take to dwell with God.
4 Lead us to heaven, that we may share
Fullness of joy for ever there;
Lead us to our final rest,
To be with him for ever blest.

Praise him in the height,
Praise him, all ye angels;
Praise him, stars and light;
Praise him, clouds and waters,
Which above the skies,
When his word commanded
Stablished did rise! A-men.
2 Praise the Lord, ye fountains
Of the deeps and seas,
Rocks and hills and mountains,
Cedars and all trees;
Praise him, clouds and vapors,
Snow and hail and fire,
Stormy wind, fulfilling
Only his desire.
3 Praise him, fowls and cattle,
Princes and all kings;
Praise him, men and maidens,
All created things;
For the Name of God is
Excellent alone,
Over earth his footstool,
Over heaven his throne.

The King shall come when morning dawns
Author: John Brownlie, 1859-1925 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #10 (1958) Person Name: John Brownlie, 1859-1925 Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns
And light triumphant breaks;
When beauty gilds the eastern hills
And life to joy awakes.
2 Not as of old, a little child,
To bear, and fight, and die;
But crowned with glory like the sun
That lights the morning sky. A-men.
3 The King shall come when morning dawns,
And earth's dark night is past;
O haste the rising of that morn,
The day that aye shall last;
4 And let the endless bliss begin,
By weary saints foretold,
When right shall triumph over wrong,
And truth shall be extolled.
5 The King shall come when morning dawns,
And light and beauty brings:
Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray,
Come quickly, King of kings.

And lead thou me,
Till at my journey's ending
I dwell with thee.
Alone I cannot wander
One single day,
So do thou guide my footsteps
On life’s rough way.
2 O cover with thy mercy
My poor, weak heart,
Lest I in joy or sorrow
From thee depart.
Permit thy child to linger
Here at thy feet,
Thy goodness blindly trusting
With faith complete. A-men.
3 Though oft thy power but faintly
May stir my soul,
With thee, my light in darkness,
I reach the goal.
Take then my hand, dear Father,
And lead thou me,
Till at my journey’s ending
I dwell with thee.
Amen.

Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands
Author: William Cullen Bryant, 1794 - 1878 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #246 (1958) Person Name: William Cullen Bryant, 1794 - 1878 Lyrics: 1 Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands,
Built over earth and sea,
Accept the walls that human hands
Have raised, O God, to thee.

Thy Holy Spirit, meet
With those who here is worship bend
Before thy mercy-seat. A-men.
3 May they who err be guided here
To find the better way;
And they who mourn, and they who fear,
Be strengthened as they pray.
4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm,
And pure devotion rise,
While round these hallowed walls the storm
Of earth-born passion dies.

Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands
Look from thy sphere of endless day
Author: William Cullen Bryant, 1794 - 1878 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #325 (1958) Person Name: William Cullen Bryant, 1794 - 1878 Lyrics: 1 Look from thy sphere of endless day,
O God of mercy and of might;
In pity look on those who stray,
Benighted in this land of light.
2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen,
In crowded mart, by stream or sea,
How many of the sons of men
Hear not the message sent from thee. A-men.
3 Send forth thy heralds, Lord, to call
The thoughtless young, the hardened old,
A scattered flock, and bring them all
To the good Shepherd's peaceful fold.
4 Send them thy mighty word, to speak
Till faith shall dawn and doubt depart,
To awe the bold, to stay the weak,
And bind and heal the broken heart.
5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene
On which, with sorrowing eyes, we gaze,
Shall grow with living waters green,
And lift to heaven the voice of praise.
Amen. Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CRISPIN
Look from thy sphere of endless day
