Saw You Never in the Twilight

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: H4BG1935 #43 (1936) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander Lyrics: 1 Saw you never, in the twilight, When the sun had left the skies, Up in heav'n the clear stars shining Thro' the gloom, like silver eyes? So of old the wise men, watching, Saw a little stranger star, And they knew the King was given, And they follow'd it from far. 2 Heard you never of the story How they crossed the desert wild, Journeyed on by plain and mountain, Till they found the holy Child? How they opened all their treasure, Kneeling to that infant King; Gave the gold and fragrant incense, Gave the myrrh in offering? 3 Know ye not that lowly baby Was the bright and morning Star? He who came to light the Gentiles, And the darken'd isles afar? And we, too, may seek his cradle; There our hearts' best treasures bring; Love, and faith, and true devotion For our Saviour, God, and King. Amen. Topics: Epiphany Tune Title: THE STAR

Once In Royal David's City

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: H4BG1935 #130 (1936) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Person Name: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's City Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby, In a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 And, through all his wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey, Love, and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms He lay; Christian children all must be Kind, obedient, good as he. 3 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: H4BG1935 #35 (1936) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Anonymous Lyrics: 1 Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella Bring a torch, to the cradle run! It is Jesus, good folk of the village; Christ is born and Mary's calling: Ah! ah! beautiful is the mother! Ah! ah! beautiful is her Son! 2 It is wrong when the Child is sleeping, It is wrong to talk so loud; Silence, all as you gather around, Lest your noise should waken Jesus; Hush! hush! see how fast he slumbers; Hush! hush! see how fast he sleeps! 3 Softly to the little stable, Softly for a moment come; Look and see how charming is Jesus; How he is white, his cheeks are rosy! Hush! hush! see how the Child is sleeping; Hush! hush! see how he smiles in dream. Topics: Christmas Tune Title: UN FLAMBEAU

O Jesus, Once a Nazareth Boy

We trust thee for the grace to win The high, victorious, goal, Where purity shall conquer sin In Christlike self control. 2 O Jesus, Prince of life and truth, Beneath thy banner bright, We dedicate our strength and youth To battle for the right; We give our lives with glad intent To serve the world and thee, To die, to suffer and be spent To set our brothers free. 3 In serried ranks, with fearless tread, O Captain of us all, Thy glory on our banners shed, We answer to thy call; And where the fiercest battles press Against the hosts of sin, To rescue those in dire distress We gladly enter in. Amen. Topics: Dedication of Life Tune Title: GABRIEL
