O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 851 hymnals 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—let “Glory!” ring with peace to all on earth! 3 How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is giv’n! So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of the heav’ns. 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 Emmanuel. Topics: Hope; Incarnation Scripture: Isaiah 7:14 Used With Tune: ST.

God's Best

Author: Albert B. Simpson Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: God has His best things for the few Lyrics: 1 God has His best things for the few That dare to stand the test; God has His second choice for those Who will not have His best. Refrain: Give me, O Lord, Thy best things, Let others take the rest; I do not want their good things, For I have got the best. 2 It is not always open ill That risks the promised rest; The better often is the foe That keeps us from the best. [Refrain] 3 There’s scarcely one but vaguely wants In some way to be blest; ’Tis not Thy blessing, Lord, I seek, I want Thy very best. [Refrain] 4 And others make the highest choice, But when by trials pressed, They shrink, they yield, they shun the Cross, And so they lose the best. [Refrain] 5 I want, in this short life of mine, As much as can be pressed, Of service true for God and man; Help me to be my best. [Refrain] 6 I want, among the victor throng, To have my name confessed; And hear my Master say at last, Well done, you did your best. [Refrain] Used With Tune: BHĀRAT Text Sources: Hymns of the Christian Life No. 2 (South Nyack, NY: Christian Alliance Publishing Company, 1897)
