There's a Voice in the Wilderness

Author: James Lewis Milligan Hymnal: Worship in Song #59 (1996) Topics: Story of Jesus First Line: There's a voice in the wilderness crying Lyrics: 1 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, A call from the ways untrod: Prepare in the desert a highway, A highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, The lofty hills brought low; Make straight all the crooked places, Where the Lord our God may go! 2 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, Get thee up to the heights and sing! Proclaim to a desolate people The coming of their King. Like the flow'rs of the field they perish, The works of men decay, The power and pomp of nations Shall pass like a dream away. 3 But the word of our God endureth, The arm of the Lord is strong; He stands in the midst of nations, And he will right the wrong. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd, And fold the lambs to his breast; In pastures of peace he’ll lead them, And give to the weary rest. Scripture: Isaiah 40:3-11 Tune Title: ASCENSION

Come Ye Lofty, Come Ye Lowly

Author: Arthur Gurney Hymnal: Worship in Song #67 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Story of Jesus First Line: Come, ye lofty, come, ye lowly Lyrics: 1 Come, ye lofty, come ye lowly, Let your songs of gladness ring. In a stable lies the Holy, In a manger rests the King. See in Mary's arms reposing, Christ, by highest heaven adored; Come, your circle round him closing, Pious hearts that love the Lord. 2 Come, ye poor; no pomp of station Robes the Child your hearts adore. He, the Lord of all creation, Shares your want, is weak and poor. Oxen, round about behold them, Rafters naked, cold and bare; See the shepherds, God has told them, That the Lord of life lies there. 3 Come, ye children blithe and merry, This one Child your model make; Christmas holly, leaf and berry, All be prized for his dear sake. Come, ye gentle hearts and tender, Come, ye spirits keen and bold; All in all your homage render, Weak and mighty, young and old. 4 High above a star is shining, And the wise men haste from far. Come, glad hearts and spirits pining; 'Tis for you has risen the star. Let us bring our poor oblations, Thanks and love and faith and praise; Come, ye peoples, come ye nations, All in all your homage raise. Scripture: Matthew 2:10-11 Tune Title: OLD BRETON MELODY

Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming

Author: Theodore Baker Hymnal: Worship in Song #69 (1996) Topics: Story of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming From tender stem has sprung! Of Jesse's lineage coming As men of old have sung. It came, a floweret bright, Amid the cold of winter, When half-spent was the night. 2 Isaiah did foretell it, The Rose I have in mind. With Mary we behold it, The virgin mother kind. To show God's love aright She bore to us a Savior, When half-spent was the night. Scripture: Isaiah 11:1-2 Tune Title: EST IST EIN ROS' ENTSPRUNGEN

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: Worship in Song #70 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Story of Jesus 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: "Peace on the earth, good will to men, 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 Over all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever over its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing! 3 And ye, 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: O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing! 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing!

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Author: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Hymnal: Worship in Song #76 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Story of Jesus 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, good will to men. 2 I thought how as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along the unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will 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, good will to men. 4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep, God is not dead, and doth not sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, good will 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, good will to men.

Brightest and Best

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Worship in Song #77 (1996) Topics: Story of Jesus First Line: Hail the blest morn! See the Great Mediator Refrain First Line: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning Lyrics: 1 Hail the blest morn! See the Great Mediator Down from the regions of glory descend! Shepherds, go worship the babe in the manger; Lo, for a guard the bright angels attend. Refrain: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining, Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Savior of all. [Refrain] 3 Shall we not yield him in costly devotion, Odors of Eden, and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? [Refrain] 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would his favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. [Refrain] Tune Title: STAR OF THE EAST
