It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 867 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 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. 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. O ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow! Look now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophets seen of old, When with the evercircling years, Shall come the time foretold, When the new heaven and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

O praise our great and gracious Lord

Author: Harriet Auber, 1773-1862 Appears in 20 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 O praise our great and gracious Lord, and call upon his name; to strains of joy tune every chord, his mighty acts proclaim; tell how he led his chosen race to Canaan’s promised land; tell how his covenant of grace unchanged shall ever stand. 2 He gave the shadowing cloud by day, the moving fire by night; to guide his Israel on their way, he made their darkness light; and have we not a sure retreat, a Saviour ever nigh, the same clear light to guide our feet, the day-spring from on high? 3 We too, have manna from above, the bread that comes from heaven; to us the same kind hand of love hath living waters given; a rock we have, from whence the spring in rich abundance flows; that rock is Christ, our Priest, our King, who life and health bestows. 4 O may we praise this blessèd food, and trust our heavenly Guide; so shall we find death's fearful flood serene as Jordan's tide, and safely reach that happy shore, and land of peace and rest, where angels worship and adore in God’s own presence blest.

Lord, Who at Cana's wedding feast

Author: A. Thrupp Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 40 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, Who at Cana’s wedding feast Didst as a guest appear, Thou dearer far than earthly guest, Vouchsafe Thy presence here; For holy Thou indeed dost prove The marriage vow to be, Proclaiming it a type of love Between the Church and Thee. 2 The holiest vow that man can make, The golden thread in life, The bond that none may dare to break, That bindeth man and wife; Which, blest by Thee, whate’er betides, No evil shall destroy, Through care-worn days each care divides, And doubles every joy. 3 On those at Thine altar kneel, O Lord, Thy blessing pour, That each may wake the other’s zeal To love Thee more and more: Oh, grant them here in peace to live, In purity and love, And, this world leaving, to receive A crown of life above! Amen. Topics: Holy Matrimony Used With Tune: ST. URSULA
