I Extol You, O Lord

Author: Susan H. Peterson Meter: 6.6.6.12.12 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 I extol you, O Lord, hear the praises I voice; As I boast in my God, O you troubled, rejoice. Come and glorify Him and exalt His great name: He delivers from guilt and removes all our shame. 2 Those who look to the Lord shine with radiant light, For He hears every cry, and He saves from each plight; And the angel of God camps around those who fear: Taste and see, God is good—He will dry every tear. 3 O how blessèd are they who take refuge in God. Fear the Lord, you His saints, and you’ll never lack good. If you love life and wish to see many good days, Turn from evil, do good, seek the peace of God’s ways. 4 For the eyes of the Lord on the righteous do stay, And His ear hears their cry; He’s attentive always. But the face of the Lord is against evil men. They’ll be cut off; no memory of them will remain. 5 When the righteous cry out, the Lord hears every prayer. He delivers them from all their trouble and care. For the Lord e’er is close to the broken in heart, And He saves all whose spirits are crushed by their lot. 6 Though the righteous may have every trouble and grief, God delivers from all, gives protection, relief. All the foes of the righteous He’ll surely condemn, But the Lord redeems all who take refuge in Him. Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS SONG

Look Aloft

Author: Jonathan Lawrence, Jr. Appears in 22 hymnals First Line: In the tempest of life, when the wave and the gale Lyrics: 1 In the tempest of life, when the wave and the gale Are around and above, if thy footing should fail, If thine eye should grow dim, and thy caution depart, "Look aloft!" and be firm, and be fearless of heart. 2 If the friend who embraced in prosperity’s glow, With a smile for each joy, and a tear for each woe, Should betray thee, when sorrows like clouds are arrayed, "Look aloft" to the friendship which never shall fade. 3 Should the visions which hope spreads in light to thine eye, Like the tints of the rainbow, but brighten to fly, Then turn, and through tears of repentant regret, "Look aloft" to the sun that is never to set. 4 Should the dearest of earth, the son of thy heart, The wife of thy bosom in sorrow depart, "Look aloft" from the darkness and dust of the tomb, To that soil where affection is ever in bloom. 5 And oh, when death comes in his terrors to cast, His fears on the future, his pall on the past, In that moment of darkness, with hope in thy heart, And a smile in thine eye, "look aloft" and depart.

The Stable At Bethlehem

Author: Thomas B. Murray Meter: 12.12 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Would we learn to give thanks, let us turn to the scene Lyrics: 1 Would we learn to give thanks, let us turn to the scene Which the Scripture this morning unfolds to our view; For whatever at Bethl’hem was painful and mean, O, believe me, my friends, it was suffered for you. 2 ’Tis the time of the taxing, and crowds flock around; To the village of Bethl’hem their journey hath been; But for yon lowly virgin and Child there is found No home in the village, no room in the inn. 3 All the oxen are resting at ease, as they fold Beneath them for comfort each warm covered limb; But the Child in the stable is pinched with the cold, More warmth and more comfort are wanted for Him. 4 ’Tis the first of His sorrows: rejected, distressed, With a manger His cradle, and hay for His bed, While the herds are in stall, and the birds in their nest, There’s no home for the Savior, no rest for His head. 5 In the stable ’tis lone; but rejoicing is nigh; For e’en now do the lips of the shepherds declare, How their night-watch was broken with light from on high, When the song of the angels was sweet in the air; 6 Singing, "Glory to God, and good-will upon earth!" In that hymn let believers, with heart and with voice, Exulting unite, on Immanuel’s birth, And, like angels at Bethl’hem, be glad and rejoice. 7 In the stable ’tis dark; but above is the star, Which hath guided, through rugged and dangerous ways, The wise and the great from their dwellings afar, To pay honor and gifts to the Infant of days. 8 He shall live to redeem; and to Him shall be giv’n A name that is great. Through His merits alone Prayer and praise shall ascend, as the incense, to Heav’n; And all hearts upon earth His dominion shall own.

The Destruction of Sennacherib

Author: George Gordon, Lord Byron Meter: 6.6.6.6.12.12 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: The Assyrian came down Lyrics: 1 The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold, And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold; and the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea, when the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee. 2 Like the leaves of the forest when summer is green, That host with their banners at sunset were seen: Like the leaves of the forest when autumn hath blown, That host on the morrow lay withered and strown. 3 For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed; And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still! 4 And there lay the steed with his nostril all wide, But through it there rolled not the breath of his pride; And the foam of his gasping lay white on the turf, And cold as the spray of the rock-beating surf. 5 And there lay the rider distorted and pale, With the dew on his brow, and the rust on his mail: And the tents were all silent, the banners alone, The lances unlifted, the trumpet unblown. 6 And the widows of Ashur are loud in their wail, And the idols are broke in the temple of Baal; And the might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword, Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord.
