The unwearied sun from day to day Does his Creator's power 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 her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her 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; For ever singing as they shine, 'The hand that made us is divine.'

Once in royal David’s city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823 - 95 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #41 (1958) Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823 - 95 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 mean and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And through all his wondrous childhood He would honor and obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms he lay; Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as he. 4 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. 5 And our eyes at last shall see him Through his own redeeming love, For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above; And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. 6 Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, Shall we see him; but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high, When like stars his children crowned All in white shall wait around.
