Christmas brings joy to every heart
Author: Cecil Cowdrey; Bernhardt Severin Ingemann, 1789 - 1862 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #46 (1958) Person Name: Bernhardt Severin Ingemann, 1789 - 1862 Lyrics: 1 Christmas brings joy to every heart,
Sets old and young rejoicing,
What angels sang once to all on earth
Oh, hear the children voicing.
Bright is the tree with lights aglow,
Like birds that perch together.
The child that holdeth Christmas dear
Shall keep these joys forever.
2 Joy comes to the all the world today,
To halls and cottage hasting.
Come, sparrow and dove, from roof tree tall,
And share our Christmas feasting.
Dance, little child, on mother’s knee,
The lovely day is dawning;
The road to Paradise is found
The blessèd Christmas morning.
3 Once to this earth our Saviour came,
An infant poor and lowly,
To open for us those gardens fair
Where dwell his angels holy.
Christmas joy he bringeth us,
The Christ-child King of heaven,
'To every little child,' he saith,
'Shall angel wings be given.' Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS BRINGS JOY
Christmas brings joy to every heart
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834 - 1924; Bernhardt Severin Ingemann, 1789 - 1862 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #529a (1958) Person Name: Bernhardt Severin Ingemann, 1789 - 1862 Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Onward goes the pilgrim band,
Singing songs of expectation,
Marching to the promised land.
Clear before us through the darkness
Gleams and burns the guiding light;
Brother clasps the hand of brother,
Stepping fearless through the night.
2 One the light of God’s own presence
O’er his ransomed people shed,
Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Brightening all the path we tread:
One the object of our journey,
One the faith which never tires,
One the earnest looking forward,
One the hope our God inspires;
3 One the strain that lips of thousands
Lift as from the heart of one;
One the conflict, one the peril,
One the march in God begun:
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
Where the one Almighty Father
Reigns in love for evermore.
4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers,
Onward with the Cross our aid!
Bear its shame and fight its battle,
Till we rest beneath its shade;
Soon shall come the great awakening,
Soon the rending of the tomb;
Then the scattering of all shadows,
And the end of toil and gloom. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent; The Church The People of God; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory; The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Jesus, these eyes have never seen
Author: Ray Palmer, 1808 - 87 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #469 (1958) Person Name: Herbert S. Irons, 1834 - 1905 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, these eyes have never seen
That radiant form of thine;
The veil of sense hangs dark between
Thy blessed face and mine.
2 I see thee not, I hear thee not,
Yet art thou oft with me;
And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot
As where I meet with thee. A-men.
3 Like some bright dream that comes unsought
When slumbers o'er me roll,
Thine image ever fills my thought,
And charms my ravished soul.
4 Yet, though I have not seen, and still
Must rest in faith alone,
I love thee, dearest Lord, and will,
Unseen but not unknown.
5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal,
And still this throbbing heart,
The rending veil shall thee reveal
All-glorious as thou art.
Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ Contemplation; The Life In Christ The Inner Life Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL (IRONS)
Jesus, these eyes have never seen
Jerusalem, my happy home
Hymnal: SBHC1958 #587b (1958) Person Name: Herbert Stephen Irons, 1834 - 1905 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
2 O happy harbor of the saints,
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow may be found,
No grief, no care, no toil.
3 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks
Continually are green;
There grow such sweet and pleasant flowers
As nowhere else are seen.
4 Quite through the streets with silver sound
The flood of life doth flow,
Upon whose banks on every side
The wood of life doth grow.
5 There trees for evermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring;
There evermore the angels sit,
And evermore do sing.
6 Jerusalem, my happy home,
Would God I were in thee!
Would God my woes were at an end,
Thy joys that I might see! Topics: The Church Year Saints' Days - Minor Festivals; The Church The House of God; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL (IRONS)
Jerusalem, my happy home
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
Hymnal: SBHC1958 #522 (1958) Person Name: Jessie Seymour Irvine, 1836 - 87 Lyrics: 1 The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want.
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; he leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
2 My soul he doth restore again,
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for his own Name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear none ill;
For thou art with me; and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnishèd
In presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house for evermore
My dwelling-place shall be. Topics: Holy Baptism; Holy Communion; The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest; The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: CRIMOND
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
The duteous day now closeth
Author: Robert Bridges, 1844 - 1930; Paul Gerhardt, 1607 - 76 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #228 (1958) Person Name: Heinrich Isaak, c. 1455 - 1517 Lyrics: 1 The duteous day now closeth,
Each flower and tree reposeth,
Shade creeps o’er wild and wood:
Let us, as night is falling,
On God our Maker calling,
Give thanks to him, the Giver good.
2 Now all the heavenly splendor
Breaks forth in starlight tender
From myriad worlds unknown;
And man, the marvel seeing,
Forgets his selfish being,
For joy of beauty not his own.
3 His care he drowneth yonder,
Lost in the abyss of wonder;
To heaven his soul doth steal:
This life he disesteemeth,
The day it is that dreameth,
That doth from truth his vision seal.
4 Awhile his mortal blindness
May miss God’s loving-kindness,
And grope in faithless strife:
But when life’s day is over
Shall death’s fair night discover
The fields of everlasting life. Topics: The Church Worship - Evening Languages: English Tune Title: INNSBRUCK
The duteous day now closeth
O Bread of life from heaven
Author: Philip Schaff, 1819-93; Athelstan Riley, 1858-1945 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #271 (1958) Person Name: Heinrich Isaak, c.1450 - 1527 Refrain First Line: Lyrics: 1 O Bread of life from heaven,
To weary pilgrims given,
O Manna from above!
The souls that hunger feed thou,
The hearts that seek thee lead thou,
With thy most sweet and tender love.
2 O fount of grace redeeming,
O river ever streaming
From Jesus’ holy side!
Come thou, thyself bestowing
On thirsting souls, and flowing
Till all are fully satisfied. A-men.
3 O Jesus, by thee bidden,
We here adore thee, hidden
'Neath forms of bread and wine;
Grant, when the veil is riven,
We may behold in heaven
Thy glorious countenance divine.
Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Rites Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: INNSBRUCK
