O little town of Bethlehem!

Hymnal: VoP1883 #53 (1883) Meter: Irregular 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 men 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 to-day. We hear the Christmas angels, The great glad tidings tell, O, come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel! Amen.

Easter Day hath dawn'd again,

Hymnal: VoP1883 #83 (1883) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Easter Day hat dawn'd again, Past the night of grief and pain, Vain the guard, the tomb in vain, To hold our buried Jesus! 2 Faithful hearts their watch have kept, Loving eyes have mourned and wept, Where, it seemed, He lately slept, So still and silent, Jesus! 3 Now, all tears have passed away With the early morning ray; From the grave, where once He lay, There hath arisen Jesus! 4 On this blessed Even-tide, Two there were He walked beside, And they prayed--"With us abide?" Although they knew not Jesus! 5 Jesus, Lord! I pray to Thee, Though Thy Face not yet I see, Evermore abide with me - My Lord - my God - my Jesus! Amen.

Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed

Tender Shepherd, Thou hast still'd

Hymnal: VoP1883 #114 (1883) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Tender Shepherd, Thou hast still'd Now Thy little lamb's brief weeping; Ah, how peaceful, pale, and mild, In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping, And no sigh of anguish sore Heaves that little bosom more. 2 In this world of care and pain, Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it; To the sunny, heavenly plain Thou dost now with joy receive it; Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light. 3 Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we Where it lives may soon be living, And the lovely pastures see That its heavenly food are giving; Then the gain of death we prove, Tho' Thou take what most we love.

Come, labour on!

Hymnal: VoP1883 #120 (1883) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Come, labour on! Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain, While all around him waves the golden grain? And to each servant does the master say, "Go, work today." 2 Come, labour on! Claim the high calling angels cannot share, To young and old the gospel glorious bear; Redeem the time, its hours too swiftly fly, The night draws nigh. 3 Come, labour on! Away with gloomy doubt and faithless fear! No arm so weak but may do service here; By feeblest agents can our God fulfil His righteous will. 4 Come, labour on! The toil is pleasant, the reward is sure, Blessed are those who to the end endure; How full their joy, how deep their rest shall be, O Lord, with Thee! Amen.

Holy off'rings rich and rare

Hymnal: VoP1883 #122 (1883) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Holy off'rings rich and rare, Offerings of praise and prayer, Purer life and purpose high, Clasped hands, uplifted eye, Lowly acts of adoration, To the God of our salvation-- On His altar laid we leave them; Christ, present them! God receive them! 2 Vows and longings, hopes and fears, Broken-hearted sighs and tears, Dreams of what we yet might be, Could we cling more close to Thee, Which, despite of faults and failings, Help Thy grace in its prevailings-- On Thine altar laid we leave them; Christ, present them! God receive them! 3 Homage of each humble heart, Ere we from Thy house depart; Worship fervent, deep and high, Adoration, ecstacy; All that childlike love can render Of devotion true and tender-- On Thine altar laid we leave them, Christ, present them! God receive them! 4 To the Father, and the Son, And the Spirit, Three in One, Though our mortal weakness raise Off'rings of imperfect praise, Yet with hearts bowed down most lowly, Crying, Holy! Holy! Holy! On Thine altar laid we leave them; Christ, present them! God receive them! Amen. Topics: Offerings Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY OFFERINGS

Hosanna we sing, like the children dear

Hymnal: VoP1883 #156 (1883) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Hosanna we sing, like the children dear, In the olden days when the Lord lived here; He bless'd little children and smil'd on them, While they chanted His praise in Jerusalem. Alleluia we sing, like the children bright With their harps of gold and their raiment white, As they follow their shepherd with loving eyes, Thro' the beautiful valleys of Paradise. 2 Hosanna we sing, for He bends His ear, And rejoices the hymns of His own to hear; We know that His heart will never wax cold To the lambs that He feeds in His earthly fold. Alleluia we sing in the Church we love, Alleluia resounds in the Church above; To Thy little ones, Lord, may such grace be given, That we lose not our part in the song of heaven. Amen.
