Once In Royal David's City

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 407 hymnals First Line: Once in royal David's city 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. 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, the mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3. Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see Him, but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; When like stars His children crowned All in white shall wait around.

Comfort, Comfort, O My People

Author: Johann G. Olearius, 1611-1684; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort, O my people, Speak of peace, now says our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning 'neath their sorrow's load. Speak unto Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell of all the sins I cover, And that warfare now is over. 2 Hark, the voice of one who's crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all to full repentance Since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet him And the hills bow down to greet him. 3 O make straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain; Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits his holy reign. For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad; And all flesh shall see the token That his word is never broken. Topics: The Liturgical Year Advent (Sundays and Weekdays); The Liturgical Year The Nativity of St. John the Baptist (June 24) Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-8 Used With Tune: GENEVA 42
