Songs of Thankfulness and Praise
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: Voices United #101 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Biblical Places Bethlehem; Biblical Places Jordan Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus Christ, to you we raise,
manifested by the star,
to the sages from afar;
branch of royal David's stem
in your birth at Bethlehem;
anthems be to you addressed
God in flesh made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest and King supreme;
and at Cana wedding-guest
in your Godhead manifest;
manifest in power divine,
changing water into wine:
anthems be to you addressed
God in flesh made manifest.
3 Manifest in making whole
palsied limbs and fainting soul;
manifest in valiant fight,
quelling all the devil's might;
manifest in gracious will,
ever bringing good from ill:
anthems be to you addressed
God in flesh made manifest.
4 Grant us grace to see you, Lord,
mirrored in your holy Word;
with your grace our lives endow,
grace to imitate you now,
that we like to you may be
at your great epiphany;
anthems be to you addressed
God in flesh made manifest. Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG (HINTZE)

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #154 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: Biblical Places Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting Light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
2 For Christ is born of Mary,
and gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.
3 How silently, how silently
the wondrous Gift is given;
so God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven!
No ear may hear his coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him still
the dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
descend to us, we pray;
cast out our sin, and enter in;
be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel.

I Danced in the Morning
Author: Sydney Carter Hymnal: Voices United #352 (1996) Meter: Irregular Topics: Biblical Places Bethlehem Refrain First Line: Dance, then, wherever you may be Lyrics: 1 I danced in the morning
when the world was begun,

and I came down from heaven
and I danced on the earth;
at Bethlehem I had my birth.

Dance, then, wherever you may be;
I am the Lord of the dance, said he,
and I’ll lead you all, wherever you may be,
and I’ll lead you all in the dance, said he.

and the pharisee,
but they would not dance
and they would not follow me;
I danced for the fishermen,
for James and John;
they came with me
and the dance went on. [Refrain]
3 I danced on the Sabbath
and I cured the lame;
the holy people
said it was a shame;
they whipped and they stripped
and they hung me high,
and they left me there
on a cross to die. [Refrain]
4 I danced on a Friday
when the sky turned black;
it’s hard to dance
with the devil on your back;
they buried my body
and they thought I’d gone,
but I am the dance
and I still go on. [Refrain]
5 They cut me down
and I leap up high;
I am the life
that will never, never die;
I’ll live in you
if you’ll live in me;
I am the Lord
of the dance, said he. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: LORD OF THE DANCE

You Never Saw Old Galilee
Author: Herman G. Stuempfle, Jr. Hymnal: Voices United #673 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 Topics: Biblical Places Galilee Lyrics: 1 You never saw old Galilee
so friendly and so fair.
My mates and I sang merrily
and never had a care,
and never had a care.
2 Out where the sea runs green and cold
and many fathoms deep,
I called my mates, "Look in the hold!
The Master's gone asleep!
The Master's gone asleep!"
3 And then the clouds grew grim and black;
there blew an awful gale.
"Heave to, my mates, the mast will crack,
if we don't lower the sail,
if we don't lower the sail!"
4 The rain poured down, the waves leapt high,
the winds they whipped us round
and tossed us toward the terrible sky
and roared their terrible sound,
and roared their terrible sound.
5 We roused the Master from his sleep
and called his name in dread:
"Come save us from the awful deep
or we're as good as dead,
or we're as good as dead!"
6 Then up he stood against the gale,
and told the storm to cease.
Tempestuous wind broke off their wail;
waves calmed and lay at peace,
waves calmed and lay at peace.
7 So, friends, although the sea be wide
and though your boat be small,
there's naught to fear from time or tide;
the Master's Lord of all,
the Master's Lord of all.
8 Then sing, my friends, sing merrily;
O sing both bold and brave.
The one who made the surging sea
still rules the wind and wave,
still rules the wind and wave. Languages: English Tune Title: PETER'S CHANTY

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #45 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Biblical Places Ebenezer Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above;
praise his name--I’m fixed upon it--
name of God's redeeming love.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,
hither by thy help I’ve come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
bought me with his precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee:
prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here’s my heart, O, take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.
Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12 Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
