I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Author: Henry W. Longfellowm 1807-1882 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #40 (2006) Topics: Social Betterment Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace of earth, goodwill to men. 2 I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th'unbroken song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. 3 And in despair I bowed my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men." 4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, goodwill to men." 5 Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, goodwill to men! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHAM (Doane)

Was that somebody you! 2 Somebody thought 'tis sweet to live, Willingly said, "I'm glad to give;" Somebody fought a valiant fight, Bravely he lives to shield the right, Was that somebody you? Was that somebody you! 3 Somebody made a loving gift, Cheerfully tried load to lift; Somebody told the love of Christ, Told how His will was sacrificed, Was that somebody you? Was that somebody you! 4 Somebody filled the days with light, Constantly chased away the night; Somebody's work bore joy and peace, Surely his life shall never cease, Was that somebody you? Was that somebody you! Languages: English Tune Title: [Somebody did a golden deed]

We Give Thee But Thine Own

Author: William W. How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #451 (2006) Topics: Social Betterment Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate’er the gift may be: All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first-fruits give. 3 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless, Is angels’ work below. 4 The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace—- It is a Christ-like thing. 5 And we believe Thy word, Though dim our faith may be: Whate’er for Thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto Thee. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [We give Thee but Thine own]
