Light of the World's Dark Story

Author: Isaac O. Rankin Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Light of the world’s dark story, Jesus, Thy name we praise; Thou art the Lord of glory, The brightness of our days. We would go singing, singing, Along our pilgrim road, With love and hope upwinging, Haste to our fixed abode. 2. Joy for the world’s salvation Wrought amid sins and fears, Man’s glorious consummation Shining beyond our tears. Songs in the room of sighing, Joy in despite of woe, On God’s good care relying That leads us as we go. Used With Tune: SALVE DOMINE

The Christmas Message

Author: A. L. Hannah Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: List to the bells of Christmas! Lyrics: 1 List to the bells of Christmas! What is the news they ring? List to the children’s anthem! What are the words they sing? This is the bells’ glad message, This is the children’s song: Lo! in the Bethlehem village Jesus, the Lord, is born. 2 "Joy to the world!" the bells chime; "Good will," the children sing; "Jesus is born, our Savior, Our Lord, Redeemer, King. He who came down from Heaven, Dying that we might live, He who His dear self gave us, Teaching us how to give." 3 This is the bells’ glad message, This is the children’s song, Echoing through the ages On each glad Christmas morn! "Joy to the world!" the bells chime; "Good will," the children sing; "Jesus is born, our Savior, The Christ, Redeemer, King."
