Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom
Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Hymnal: Together in Song #582 (1999) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Scripture: John 1:1-9 Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom;
lead thou me on.
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
lead thou me on.
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
the distant scene - one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
lead thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears
pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
will lead me on,
o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
the night is gone;
and with the morn those angel faces smile,
which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

is born of David's line
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord,

to human view displayed,
all meanly wrapped in swaddling bands,
and in a manger laid,
and in a manger laid."

appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song,
addressed their joyful song:

and to the earth be peace;
good will henceforth from heaven to all
begin and never cease,
begin and never cease!" Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #61 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Scripture: John 1:9 Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there’s a kindness in his justice
which is more than liberty.

and more graces for the good;
there is mercy with the Savior;
there is healing in his blood.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of our mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
we would take him at his word,
and our lives would be illumined
by the presence of our Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: WELLESLEY

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: Glory to God #121 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Scripture: John 1:9 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 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!
