The Spacious Firmament on High

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: WinS1996 #20 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Person Name: Joseph Addison Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, with all the blue ethereal sky, and spangled heavens, a shining frame, their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun from day to day does its Creator's powers display; and publishes to every land the work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, the moon takes up the wondrous tale, and nightly to the listening earth repeats the story of its birth; whilst all the stars that round it burn, and all the planets in their turn, confirm the tidings, as they roll and spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though no real voice nor sound amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, and utter forth a glorious voice; forever singing as they shine, “The hand that made us is divine.” Topics: Creation; God's power; Nature; Praise; Singing (or Song) Scripture: Psalm 19:1-6 Tune Title: CREATION

Alexander Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall; With the poor and meek and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 For he is our childhood's pattern; Day by day like us he grew; He was little, weak and helpless, Tears and smiles like us he knew: And he feeleth for our sadness, And he shareth in our gladness.

"I,” said the donkey, shaggy and brown. 3 “I,” said the cow all white and red, “I gave him my manger for his bed; I gave him my hay to pillow his head." I,” said the cow all white and red. 4 “I,” said the sheep with curly horn, “I gave him my wool for his blanket warm; He wore my coat on Christmas morn." I,” said the sheep with curly horn. 5 “I,” said the dove from the rafters high, “I cooed him to sleep that he should not cry, we cooed him to sleep, my mate and I." I,” said the dove from the rafters high. 6 Thus all the beasts by some good spell In the stable dark were glad to tell Of the gifts they gave Immanuel, The gifts they gave Immanuel.
