Isaiah 9:2-8: The race that long in darkness pined
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-8 First Line: The race that long in darkness pined Lyrics:
The race that long in darkness pined,
have seen a glorious light;
The people dwell in day, who dwelt
in death’s surrounding night.
To hail thy rise, thou better Sun!
the gath’ring nations came,
Joyous, as when the reapers bear
the harvest treasures home.
For thou our burden hast remov’d,
and quelled th’ oppressor’s sway,
Quick as the slaughtered squadrons fell
in Midian’s evil day.
To us a Child of hope is barn;
to us a Son is giv’n;
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
him all the hosts of heav’n.
His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
for evermore adored,
The Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the great and mighty Lord.
His pow’r increasing still shall spread,
his reign no end shall know;
Justice shall guard his throne above,
and peace abound below.

Brightest and Best of the Stars
Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 911 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:2 First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and come to our aid;
star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 What shall we give him, in costly devotion?
Shall we bring incense and offerings divine,
gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
myrrh from the forest or gold from the mine?
3 Vainly we offer each lavish oblation,
vainly with gifts would his favor secure;
richer by far is the heart’s adoration,
dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
4 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and come to our aid;
star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid!

It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-76 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 869 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:4-5 Lyrics: 1 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, goodwill to all,
From heav'n's all-gracious king."
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heav'nly music floats
O'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hov'ring wing,
And ever o'er its babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 All you, beneath your heavy load,
By care and guilt bent low,
Who toil along a dreary way
With painful steps and slow:
Look up, for golden is the hour,
Come swiftly on the wing,
The Prince was born to bring you peace;
Of Him the angels sing.
4 For lo, the days have come to pass
By prophets seen of old,
When down into the circling years
Came Christ as was foretold.
His word of peace shall to the earth
God's ancient promise bring,
And all who take this gift will hear
The song the angels sing. Topics: Society Used With Tune: CAROL

O little town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks (1835-1893) Appears in 843 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:2 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see you lie!
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by;
yet, in your dark streets shining
the everlasting Light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in you tonight.
2 O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to all on earth.
For Christ is born of Mary;
and, gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.
3 How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven.
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. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Hymn 13

The lands that long in darkness lay
Now have beheld a heav'nly light;
Nations that sat in death's cold shade
Are blessed with beams divinely bright.
The virgin's promised Son is born,
Behold th' expected child appear:
What shall his names or titles be?
"The Wonderful, the Counsellor."
[This infant is the mighty God,
Come to be suckled and adored;
Th' eternal Father, Prince of Peace,
The Son of David, and his Lord.]
The government of earth and seas
Upon his shoulders shall be laid;
His wide dominions still increase,
And honors to his name be paid.
Jesus, the holy child, shall sit
High on his father David's throne;
Shall crush his foes beneath his feet,
And reign to ages yet unknown.

In our deepest darkness rise!

Life and joy thy beams impart;
Chasing all our fears, and chearing
Ev'ry poor benighted heart:
Come, and manifest the favour
God has for our ransom'd race;
Come, thou All sufficient Saviour,
Come and bring thy gospel-grace.

Give the knowledge of salvation,
Give the pardon of our sins!

Ev'ry weary, wand'ring spirit,
Guide into thy perfect peace.

Canticle of Light and Darkness
People that long in darkness walk'd
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 Lyrics: 2 People that long in darkness walk'd
Now see a great and wondrous light;
On them who dwelt in shades of death
The light hath shin'd exceeding bright.
3 The nation thou hast multiply'd,
And now their joys increased are;
As in the harvest they rejoyce,
Like conqu'rers when the spoil they share.
4 For Thou the burthen of their yoke,
The staff which on their shoulders lay,
And their oppressors rod hast broke,
As once they were in Midian's day.
5 For all the wariours battles were
Throughout the earth from times of old,
With noise confus'd of shouts and groans,
In reeking blood their garments roll'd.
But now this great, decisive blow,
Whereby thy people will be free,
Shall be by all devouring FIRE,
Wherein their foes shall fuel be.
6 For lo! the virgin's child is born,
To us thine only Son id giv'n;
Upon his shoulders shall be laid,
The government of earth and heav'n.
His name is called Wonderful,
The Councellor, the mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace,
Peace over all the earth abroad.
7 Hos government shall ever grow,
And far and wide o'er all extend;
And universal peace, the fruit
of his just reign, shall know no end.
O'er David's kingdom and his throne
To rule, and them establish sure,
With judgment right and justice clear,
His reign for ever shall endure.

and makes the nations prove
the glories of his righteousness
and wonders of his love,

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr.; Thomas Ken Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,047 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 First Line: All praise be yours, my God this night Lyrics: 1 All praise be yours, my God, this night,
for all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, kind Maker of all things,
beneath the shelter of your wings.
2 Forgive me, by Christ's victory won,
the ill that I this day have done,
That from the fear of sin set free,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 O let me on your love repose,
let welcome sleep my eyelids close,
Sleep from whose balm new strength I take
to serve my God when I awake.
4 Praise God who gives all blessings birth;
praise God all creatures on the earth;
Praise God, who makes, sustains, sets free:
one holy God in person three.
