I Sing the Mighty Power of God

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: HOP2015 #21 (2015) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 I sing the mighty power of God that made the mountains rise, that spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; the moon shines full at his command and all the stars obey. 2 I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food; he formed the creatures with his word and then pronounced them good. Lord, how your wonders are displayed where’er I turn my eye, if I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky! 3 There’s not a plant or flower below but makes your glories known; and clouds arise and tempests blow by order from your throne; while all that borrows life from you is ever in your care, and everywhere that I may be, you, God, are present there.

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: HOP2015 #156 (2015) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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, goodwill to all, from heaven's all gracious King"; the world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly 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 For lo, the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old, when, with the ever circling years, shall come the time foretold, when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world give back the song which now the angels sing.

I Come with Joy, a Child of God

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: HOP2015 #184 (2015) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 I come with joy, a child of God forgiven, loved, and free, the life of Jesus to recall, in love laid down for me, in love laid down for me. 2 I come with Christians far and near to find, as all are fed, the new community of love in Christ’s communion bread, in Christ’s communion bread. 3 As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share, each proud division ends. The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends, and strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, unseen, but ever near, is in such friendship better known, alive among us here, alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound by all that God has done, we’ll go with joy, to give the world the love that makes us one, the love that makes us one.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Hymnal: HOP2015 #151 (2015) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 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! Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: HOP2015 #3 (2015) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home. 2 Under the shadow of your throne your saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood or earth received her frame, from everlasting you are God, to endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in your sight are like an evening gone, short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. 5 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, be now our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home.
