Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears (1810-1876) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #70 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern 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:
'Through all the earth, goodwill and peace
from heaven's all-gracious king!'
The world in solemn stillness lay
to hear the angels sing.
2 With sorrow brought by sin and strife
the world has suffered long
and, since the angels sang, have passed
two thousand years of wrong:
the nations, still at war, hear not
the love-song which they bring:
O hush the noise and cease the strife,
to hear the angels sing!
3 And those whose journey now is hard,
whose hope is burning low,
who tread the rocky path of life
with painful steps and slow:
O listen to the news of love
which makes the heavens ring!
O rest beside the weary road
and hear the angels sing!
4 And still the days are hastening on —
by prophets seen of old —
towards the fulness of the time
when comes the age foretold:
then earth and heaven renewed shall see
the prince of peace, their king;
and all the world repeat the song
which now the angels sing. Topics: Angels; Children and All-Age Worship; Christmas; Christmas Midnight; Church Year Christmas; Future hope; Peace; Pilgrimage; Prophets; Sin Scripture: Psalm 46:8-10 Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #225 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes 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.
"Fear not," said he,--for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind,--
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring,
To you and all mankind.
2 "To you, in David's town this day,
Is born of David's line
The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord,
And this shall be the sign:--
The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All simply wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid."
5 Thus spoke the seraph--and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:--
"All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good-will will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin, and never cease!"
Amen. Topics: Angels; Christ First Advent; Christ Humiliation of; Christ Savior; Christ Son of David; Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL

My Church! My Church! My dear old Church
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #286 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Lyrics: 1 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church
My fathers’ and my own!
On prophets, and apostles built,
And Christ the cornerstone;
All else beside, by storm or tide,
May yet be overthrown;
But not my Church, my dear old Church,
My fathers’ and my own.
2 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church!
My glory and my pride!
Firm in the faith Immanuel taught,
She holds no faith beside,
Upon this rock, ‘gainst every shock,
Though gates of hell assail,
She stands secure, with promise sure,
“They never shall prevail.”
3 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church!
I love her ancient name;
And God forbid a child of hers
Should ever do her shame;
Her mother care I'll ever share;
Her child I am alone,
Till He who gave me to her arms,
Shall call me to His own.
4 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church!
Thy child would add a vow
To that whose token once was signed
Upon his infant brow;
Her mother care I'll ever share,
Her child I am alone.
My Church shall yet be dear to me,
My fathers' and my own.

that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, good will to you
from heaven'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 heavenly music floats
o'er all the weary world;
above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hovering wing,
and ever o'er its Babel-sounds
the blessèd angels sing.
3 But with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long:
beneath the angels' hymn have rolled
two thousand years of wrong:
and warring humankind hears not
the love-song which they bring:
oh, hush the noise and still the strife
to hear the angels sing.
4 And you, 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:
oh, rest beside the weary road,
and hear the angels sing.
5 For lo! the days are hastening on,
by prophet bards foretold,
when, with the ever-rolling years,
still dawns the Age of Gold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendours fling,
and all the world give back the song
which now the angels sing. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Angels Scripture: 2 Peter 3:13 Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL

Ere round Thine uncreated fires
Created light had shone.

New attributes sublime.

And outworn time is done,
Still, still incomprehensible,
O God, yet not alone.

Of Thee have drunk their fill;
And to eternity will drink
Thy joy and glory still.
