O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5327 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. O sing a song of Bethlehem,
of shepherds watching there,
And of the news that came to them
from angels in the air.
The light that shone on Bethlehem
fills all the world today;
Of Jesus’ birth and peace on earth
the angels sing alway.
2. O sing a song of Nazareth,
of sunny days of joy;
O sing of fragrant flowers’ breath,
and of the sinless Boy.
For now the flowers of Nazareth
in every heart may grow;
Now spreads the fame of His dear name
on all the winds that blow.
3. O sing a song of Galilee,
of lake and woods and hill,
Of Him who walked upon the sea
and bade the waves be still.
For though like waves on Galilee,
dark seas of trouble roll,
When faith has heard the Master’s Word,
falls peace upon the soul.
4. O sing a song of Calvary,
its glory and dismay,
Of Him who hung upon the tree,
and took our sins away.
For He who died on Calvary
is risen from the grave,
And Christ, our Lord, by Heaven adored,
is mighty now to save. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
'Twas in the Watches of the Night
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6974 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. ’Twas in the watches of the night
I thought upon Thy power,
I kept Thy lovely face in sight
amidst the darkest hour.
My flesh lay resting on my bed,
my soul arose on high:
My God, my life my hope, I said,
bring Thy salvation nigh.
2. My spirit labors up Thine hill,
and climbs the heav’nly road;
But Thy right hand upholds me still,
while I pursue my God.
Thy mercy stretches o’er my head
the shadow of Thy wings;
My heart rejoices in Thine aid,
my tongue awakes and sings.
3. But the destroyers of my peace
shall fret and rage in vain;
The tempter shall for ever cease,
and all my sins be slain.
Thy sword shall give my foes to death,
and send them down to dwell,
In the dark caverns of the earth,
or to the depths of hell. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
'Twas in the Watches of the Night
When Jesus Left His Father's Throne
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7546 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. When Jesus left His Father’s throne,
He chose a humble birth;
Like us, unhonored and unknown,
He came to dwell on earth.
Like Him may we be found below,
In wisdom’s path of peace;
Like Him in grace and knowledge grow,
As years and strength increase.
2. Sweet were His words and kind His look,
When mothers round Him pressed;
Their infants in His arms He took,
And on His bosom blessed.
Safe from the world’s alluring harms,
Beneath His watchful eye,
Thus in the circle of His arms
May we forever lie.
3. When Jesus into Zion rode,
The children sang around;
For joy they plucked the palms and strewed
Their garments on the ground.
Hosanna our glad voices raise,
Hosanna to our King!
Should we forget our Savior’s praise,
The stones themselves would sing. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
When Jesus Left His Father's Throne
For Zion's Sake I Will Not Rest
Author: John Quarles, 1624-1665 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10005 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 For Zion’s sake I will not rest
I will not hold my peace
Until Jerusalem be blest
And Judah dwell at ease;
2 Until her righteousness return
As daybreak after night—
The lamp of her salvation burn
With everlasting light.
3 The Gentiles shall her glory see,
And kings declare her fame;
Appointed unto her shall be
A new and holy name.
4 The watchmen on her walls appear,
And day and night proclaim,
"Zion’s deliverer is near;"
Make mention of His name.
5 The Lord upholds her with His hand,
And claims her for His own—
The diadem of Judah’s land
The glory of His crown.
6 Go through, go through, prepare the way,
The gates wide open fling;
With loudest voice let heralds say,
"Behold thy coming king!" Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
For Zion's Sake I Will Not Rest
Long, Long Ago In Manger Low
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11627 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Long, long ago in manger low,
Was cradled from above,
A little child, in whom God smiled,
A Christmas gift of love;
When hearts were bitter and unjust,
And cruel hands were strong,
The noise He hushed with hope and trust,
And peace began her song.
2 Where’er the Father’s Christmas gifts
Seem only frost and snow,
And anxious stress and loneliness,
And poverty and woe;
Straightway provide a welcome wide,
Nor wonder why they came;
They stand outside our hearts and bide,
And knock in Jesus’ name.
3 For trouble, cold, and dreary care
Are angels in disguise,
And greeted fair, with trust and prayer,
As peace and love they rise;
They are the manger, wide and low,
In which a Christ child lies;
O welcome Guest, Thy cradle nest
Is always God’s surprise. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
Long, Long Ago In Manger Low
Hymn For the Twenty-Second Of December
Author: John Q. Adams, 1767-1848 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12411 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: When o’er the billow-heaving deep Lyrics: 1 When o’er the billow-heaving deep,
The fathers of our race,
The precepts of their God to keep,
Sought here their resting-place—
That gracious God their path prepared,
Preserved from every harm,
And still for their protection bared
His everlasting arm.
2 His breath, inspiring every gale,
Impels them o’er the main;
His guardian angels spread the sail,
And tempests howl in vain.
For them old ocean’s rocks are smoothed;
December’s face grows mild;
To vernal airs her blasts are soothed,
And all their rage beguiled.
3 When Famine rolls her haggard eyes,
His ever-bounteous hand
Abundance from the sea supplies,
And treasures from the sand.
Nor yet His tender mercies cease;
His overruling plan
Inclines to gentleness and peace
The heart of savage man.
4 And can our stony bosoms be
To all these wonders blind?
Nor swell with thankfulness to Thee,
O Parent of mankind?
All-gracious God, inflame our zeal;
Dispense one blessing more;
Grant us Thy boundless love to feel,
Thy goodness to adore. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
Hymn For the Twenty-Second Of December
They Clothed Him In A Purple Robe
Author: William P. Balfern Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12454 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 They clothed Him in a purple robe,
And mocking, bowed the knee;
In His pale brow, all crowned with thorns,
No glory could they see.
Within His hand they placed a reed,
And smote His sacred face;
Rude furrows on His back they plowed—
The scars of their disgrace.
2 Patient our Savior stood, nor spoke
One vengeful, angry word;
Theirs was indeed the cruel hand,
Jehovah’s was the sword.
Love meekly bowed His sacred head
Beneath the vengeful knife;
He for His people freely gave
Himself, His all, His life.
3 And thus in every age Christ stands
’Mid bold, blaspheming men;
The learnèd pierce Him with their words,
The vulgar cry, "Amen."
With scornful hate and subtle thought
They nail His quivering flesh
To the cold pillar of their scorn
And tear his wounds afresh.
4 And still all silent, patient, meek,
The Lord of glory stands;
His bleeding heart He still displays,
His wounded feet and hands.
But, oh! the glory of His face
Shall yet strike terror down,
And all His foes with fear shall quail
When He shall wear His crown. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD

A Prayer In Time Of War
Author: Alfred Noyes Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12491 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Thou whose deep ways are in the sea Lyrics: 1 Thou whose deep ways are in the sea,
Whose footsteps are not known,
Tonight a world that turned from Thee
Is waiting—at Thy throne.
The towering Babels that we raised
Where scoffing sophists brawl,
The little Antichrists we praised—
The night is on them all.
2 The fool hath said…the fool hath said…
And we, who deemed him wise,
We, who believed that Thou wast dead,
How should we seek Thine eyes?
How should we seek to Thee for power,
Who scorned Thee yesterday?
How should we kneel in this dread hour?
Lord, teach us how to pray.
3 Grant us the single heart once more
That mocks no sacred thing,
The sword of truth our fathers wore
When Thou wast Lord and King.
Let darkness unto darkness tell
Our deep unspoken prayer;
For, while our souls in darkness dwell
We know that Thou art there. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
