Author: Sarah Flower Adams; Charles Châtelanat Hymnal: Voices United #497 (1996) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Topics: Biblical Places Bethel First Line: Nearer, my God, to thee (Mon Dieu, plus près de toi) Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me, still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 2 Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down, darkness be over me, my rest a stone; yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 3 There let the way appear, steps unto heaven; all that thou sendest me, in mercy given; angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 4 Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise, out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; so by my woes to be nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 5 Or if on joyful wing cleaving the sky, sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly, still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! French: 1 Mon Dieu, plus près de toi, plus près de toi! C'est le cri de ma foi: Plus près de toi! Dans le jour où l'épreuve déborde comme un fleuve, garde-moi près de toi, plus près de toi! 2 Plus près de toi, Seigneur, plus près de toi! Tiens-moi dans ma douleur tout près de toi, alors que la souffrance fait son oeuvre en silence, toujours plus près de toi, plus près de toi! 3 Plus près de toi, toujours, plus près de toi! Donne-moit ton secourts, soutiens ma foi! Que Satan se déchaîne, ton amour me ramène toujours plus près de toi, plus près de toi! 4 Mon Dieu, plus près de toi! Dans le désert j'ai vu, plus près de toi, ton ciel ouvert, Pèlerin, bon courage! Ton chant brave l'orage: Mon Dieu, plus près de toi, plus près de toi!

On Jordan's Bank

Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Hymnal: Voices United #20 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Biblical Places Jordan First Line: On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry announces that the Lamb is nigh; awake and hearken, for he brings glad tidings of the King of Kings. 2 Then cleansed be every breast from sin; make straight the way for God within; and let each heart prepare a home where such a mighty guest may come. 3 In you, we find abundant life, our refuge in the midst of strife; without your grace we waste away like flowers that wither and decay. 4 Stretch forth your hand, our health restore, and help us rise to fall no more. O let your face upon us shine, and fill the world with love divine. 5 All praise to you, eternal Son, whose advent has our freedom won; and praise to God whom we adore, with Holy Spirit evermore.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: Voices United #64 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: Biblical Places Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by; yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light; the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary; and gathered all above, while mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth, and praises sing to God the King, and peace to all on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts the blessed gift of 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. Languages: English Tune Title: ST LOUIS

You Never Saw Old Galilee

Author: Herman G. Stuempfle, Jr. Hymnal: Voices United #673 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 Topics: Biblical Places Galilee Lyrics: 1 You never saw old Galilee so friendly and so fair. My mates and I sang merrily and never had a care, and never had a care. 2 Out where the sea runs green and cold and many fathoms deep, I called my mates, "Look in the hold! The Master's gone asleep! The Master's gone asleep!" 3 And then the clouds grew grim and black; there blew an awful gale. "Heave to, my mates, the mast will crack, if we don't lower the sail, if we don't lower the sail!" 4 The rain poured down, the waves leapt high, the winds they whipped us round and tossed us toward the terrible sky and roared their terrible sound, and roared their terrible sound. 5 We roused the Master from his sleep and called his name in dread: "Come save us from the awful deep or we're as good as dead, or we're as good as dead!" 6 Then up he stood against the gale, and told the storm to cease. Tempestuous wind broke off their wail; waves calmed and lay at peace, waves calmed and lay at peace. 7 So, friends, although the sea be wide and though your boat be small, there's naught to fear from time or tide; the Master's Lord of all, the Master's Lord of all. 8 Then sing, my friends, sing merrily; O sing both bold and brave. The one who made the surging sea still rules the wind and wave, still rules the wind and wave. Languages: English Tune Title: PETER'S CHANTY

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #45 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Biblical Places Ebenezer Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above; praise his name--I’m fixed upon it-- name of God's redeeming love. 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer, hither by thy help I’ve come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, bought me with his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee: prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart, O, take and seal it; seal it for thy courts above.
