Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
Author: Theodore Baker; Gracia Grindal Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 11:1 Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a rose e'er blooming
from tender stem hath sprung;
of Jesse's lineage coming,
as saints of old have sung.
It came, a floweret bright,
amid the cold of winter
when half spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
the rose I have in mind;
with Mary we behold it,
the virgin mother kind.
To show God's love aright
she bore to us a Savior
when half spent was the night.

God Is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger Meter: Irregular Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 11:6-9 Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out
as year succeeds to year:
God is working his purpose out,
and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
where'er the church has gone,
by the mouth of many messengers
the call of God has come:
Give ear to me, you continents;
you isles, give ear to me,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
3 March we forth in the strength of God,
with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth
may shine throughout the world:
fight we the fight with sorrow and sin
to set their captives free,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is done in vain
unless God blesses the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvesttide
till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.

through all our hopes and prayers and dreams,

our hearts from envy find release,
till by God's grace our warring world
shall see Christ's promised reign of peace.

ne'er shall the fierce devour the small;
as beasts and cattle calmly graze,
a little child shall lead them all.

all creatures find their true accord;
the hope of peace shall be fulfilled,
for all the earth shall know the Lord. Topics: Christian Hope; Last Times; Society; Advent Used With Tune: JERUSALEM

It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 867 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 11:9 Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, good will to men,
from heaven's all gracious King":
the world in solemn stillness lay
to hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
with peaceful wings unfurled,
and still their heavenly music floats
o'er all the weary world;
above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hovering wing,
and ever o'er its Babel sounds
the blessed angels sing.
3 For lo, the days are hastening on,
by prophets seen of old,
when, with the ever-circling years,
shall come the time foretold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendors fling,
and all the world give back the song
which now the angels sing.
