Once in royal David's city
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Daniel 12:3 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 and mean and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And through all his wondrous childhood
he would honour and obey,
love and watch the lowly maiden,
in whose gentle arms he lay:
Christian children all must be
mild, obedient, good as he.
4 For he is our childhood's pattern,
day by day like us he grew,
he was little, weak, and helpless,
tears and smiles like us he knew;
and he feeleth for our sadness,
and he shareth in our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love,
for that child so dear and gentle
is our Lord in heaven above;
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone.
6 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;
where like stars his children crowned
all in white shall wait around. Topics: Children; Children and All-Age Worship; Christmas; Christmas Midnight; Church Year Christmas; Devotion; Future hope; Heaven; Mary; Obedience Used With Tune: IRBY

O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be
Author: Pierre Abelard (1079-1142); John Mason Neale Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: Daniel 12:3 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be,
Those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see;
Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest;
God shall be All, and in all ever blest.
2 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore,
"Vision of Peace," that brings joy evermore;
Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne'er,
Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 We, where no trouble distraction can bring,
Safely the anthems of Zion shall sing;
While for Thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Thy blessed people shall evermore raise.
4 Low before Him with our praises we fall,
Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
Of whom, the Father; and through whom, the Son;
In whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.
Amen. Topics: All Saints' Day; Communion of Saints; Life Everlasting, The; Life in Christ Life Everlasting, The Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA

O Thou Who Makest Souls to Shine
Author: John Armstrong Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: Daniel 12:3 Lyrics: 1 O Thou who makest souls to shine
With light from brighter worlds above,
Now send Thy glistening dew divine
On all who seek a Saviour's love.
2 Do Thou Thy benediction give
On all who teach, on all who learn,
That all Thy Church may holier live,
And every lamp more brightly burn.
3 Give those that teach pure hearts and wise,
Faith, hope, and love, all warmed by prayer;
Themselves first training for the skies,
They best will raise their people there.
4 O bless the shepherd, bless the sheep,
That guide and guided both be one—
One in the faithful watch they keep,
Until this hurrying life be done.
Amen. Topics: Benediction; Church, The; Commitment; Schools; Service; Life in Christ Dedication and Consecration Used With Tune: SOLOTHURN
