Christians, awake! salute the happy morn

Author: John Byrom, 1692-1763 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #48 (2000) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake! salute the happy morn, whereon the Saviour of the world was born; rise to adore the mystery of love, which hosts of angels chanted from above: with them the joyful tidings first begun of God incarnate and the Virgin's Son. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, who heard the angelic herald's voice: 'Behold, I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth to you and all the nations upon earth: this day hath God fulfilled his promised word, this day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.' 3 He spake; and straightway the celestial choir in hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire; the praises of redeeming love they sang, and heaven's whole orb with alleluias rang: God's highest glory was their anthem still, peace upon earth, and unto men good will. *4 To Bethl'hem straight the enlightened shepherds ran, to see the wonder God had wrought for man; and found, with Joseph and the blessèd Maid, her Son, the Saviour, in a manger laid: then to their flocks, still praising God, return, and their glad hearts with holy rapture burn. 5 O may we keep and ponder in our mind God's wondrous love in saving lost mankind; trace we the babe, who hath retrieved our loss, from his poor manger to his bitter cross; tread in his steps, assisted by his grace, till man's first heavenly state again takes place. 6 Then may we hope, the angelic hosts among, to sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song: he that was born upon this joyful day around us all his glory shall display; saved by his love, incessant we shall sing eternal praise to heaven's almighty King.

Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2 Be still, my soul: your God will undertake to guide the future as he has the past. Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake, all now mysterious shall be clear at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know his voice, who ruled them while he dwelt below. 3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart and all is darkened in the vale of tears, then you shall better know his love, his heart, who comes to soothe your sorrow, calm your fears. Be still, my soul: for Jesus can repay from his own fullness all he takes away. 4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on when we shall be for ever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief and fear are gone, sorrow forgotten, love's pure joy restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.

Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed

Author: F. Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #559 (2000) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed, for all who suffer for the gospel's sake, that Christ may show us how to serve them best in that one kingdom Satan cannot shake. But how much more than us they have to give, who by their dying show us how to live! 2 Pray for Christ's dissidents, who daily wait, as Jesus waited in the olive grove, the unjust trial, the pre-determined fate, the world's contempt for reconciling love. Shall all they won for us, at such a cost, be by our negligence or weakness lost? 3 Pray that if times of testing should lay bare what sort we are, who call ourselves his own, we may be counted worthy then to wear, with quiet fortitude, Christ's only crown: the crown that in his saints he wears again the crown of thorns that signifies his reign.

Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #10 (2000) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide: the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide! when other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? who like thyself my guide and stay can be? through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!
