It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: HOoS1926 #39 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Revelation 21:1 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, good will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King":
The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still thro' 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 hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.
4 For lo, the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace their King,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

It Came upon the Midnight Clear
O Bride of Christ, Rejoice!
Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Prof. Victor Olof Peterson Hymnal: HOoS1926 #18 (1926) Meter: 6.6.7.7.7.7 Scripture: Revelation 21:2 Refrain First Line: Hosanna, praise and glory Lyrics: 1 O Bride of Christ, rejoice!
Exultant raise thy voice
To hail the day of glory,
Foretold in sacred story.
Refrain:
Hosanna, praise and glory,
Our King, we bow before Thee.
2 Let shouts of gladness rise
Triumphant to the skies.
Now comes the King most glorious
To reign o'er all victorious. [Refrain]
3 He wears no kingly crown,
Yet as a King He's known;
Though not arrayed in splendor,
He still makes death surrender. [Refrain]
4 Thy heart now open wide,
Bid Christ with thee abide;
He graciously will hear thee,
And be forever near thee. [Refrain]
5 E'en babes with one accord
With thee shall praise the Lord,
And every gentile nation
Respond with exultation. [Refrain]

O Bride of Christ, Rejoice!
Just As Thou Art, without One Trace
Author: Russell Sturgis Cook Hymnal: HOoS1926 #398 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Revelation 22:17 Lyrics: 1 Just as thou art, without one trace
Of love, or joy, or inward grace,
Or meetness for the heav'nly place,
O guilty sinner! come, O come!
2 Thy sins I bore on Calvary’s tree;
The stripes, thy due, were laid on Me,
That peace and pardon might be free;
O wretched sinner! come, O come!
3 Burdened with guilt, would'st thou be blessed?
Trust not the world; it gives no rest;
I bring relief to hearts oppressed;
O weary winner! come, O come!
4 Come, leave thy burden at the cross,
Count all thy gains but worthless dross:
My grace repays all earthly loss;
O needy sinner! come, O come!
5 Come, hither bring thy boding fears,
Thy aching heart, thy bursting tears;
’Tis mercy’s voice salutes thine ears;
O trembling sinner! come, O come!
6 "The Spirit and the bride say, Come!"
Rejoicing saints re-echo, "Come!"
Who faints, who thirsts, who will, may come;
Thy Saviour bids thee come, O come!
Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Invitation to Repentance; Trinity, Twentieth Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: WOODWORTH
