While shepherds watched their flocks

Author: Nahum Tate Appears in 1,098 hymnals First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. 2 "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind: "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind. 3 "To you, in David's town, this day Is born of David's line, The Saviour, Who is Christ the Lord; And this will be the sign: 4 "The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid." 5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels praising God, who thus Addressed their joyful song: 6 "All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth from heaven to men Begin and never cease. Amen. Used With Tune: [While shepherds watched their flocks by night]

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 869 hymnals 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 heav'n'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 heav'nly music floats o'er all the weary world: above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hov'ring 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 hast'ning on, by prophet bards foretold, when with the ever-circling years comes round the age of gold; when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world give back the song which now the angels sing.

Thy Word Is Like a Garden, Lord

Author: Edwin Hodder Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thy Word is like a garden, Lord, With flowers bright and fair; And ev'ry one who seeks may pluck A lovely cluster there. Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine; And jewels rich and rare Are hidden in the mighty depths For ev'ry searcher there. 2. Thy Word is like a starry host; A thousand rays of light Are seen to guide the traveler, And make his pathway bright. Thy Word is like an armory, Where soldiers may repair, And find, for life's long battle-day, All needful weapons there. 3. O may I love Thy precious Word: May I explore the mine, May I its fragrant flowers glean, May light upon me shine! O may I find my armor there: Thy Word my trusty sword, I'll learn to fight with ev'ry foe The battle of the Lord. Topics: The Church; Means of Grace The Scriptures Used With Tune: CAROL
