It came upon the midnight clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #148 (1997) Topics: Prophets Lyrics: 1 It came upon a midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold:
“To all the earth good will and peace,
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 blessed angels sing.
3 But with the woes of sin and strife,
the world has suffered long;
beneath the angel strain have rolled
two thousand years of wrong,
but we, through din of war, hear not
the love-song which they bring.
Oh hush the noise, Oh still the strife
and hear the angels sing.
4 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.
Oh rest beside the weary road
and hear the angels sing.
5 For lo! the days are hastening on,
by prophets seen of old,
when with the ever-circling years
shall come the time foretold,
when peace shall over all the earth
God's promised splendours fling,
and all the world take up the song,
which now the angels sing. Scripture: Luke 2:8-20 Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL
It came upon the midnight clear
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
Author: Theodore Baker, 1851-1934; Harriet R. Krauth, 1845-1925; John Caspar Mattes, 1876-1948 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #151 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Topics: Prophets Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
from tender stem hath sprung,
of Jesse's lineage coming,
as prophets long have sung.
It came, a floweret bright,
amid the cold of winter,
when half-spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold 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 Saviour,
when half-spent was the night.
3 This flower, whose fragrance tender
with sweetness fills the air,
dispels with glorious splendour
our darkness everywhere.
True flesh, yet very God,
from sin and death he saves us
and shares our every load.
4 O Saviour, child of Mary,
who felt our human woe,
O Saviour, King of glory,
who dost our weakness know,
bring us at last, we pray,
to the bright courts of heaven
and to the endless day. Scripture: Isaiah 11:1 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST EIN' ROS' ENTSPRUNGEN
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming

How Beauteous Are Their Feet
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #175 (1985) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Prophets Lyrics:
1 How beauteous are their feet
who stand on Zion's hill,
who bring salvation on their tongues,
and words of peace reveal.
2 How charming is their voice,
how sweet the tidings are!
Zion, behold thy Savior King;
he reigns and triumphs here.
3 How blessed are our eyes
that see this heav'nly light;
prophets and kings desired it long,
but died without the sight.
4 The Lord makes bare his arm
through all the earth abroad;
let every nation now behold
their Savior and their God!
Scripture: Isaiah 52:7-10 Languages: English Tune Title: VENICE

As royal banners are unfurled
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935); Venantius Fortunatus (530-609) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #176 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prophets Lyrics: 1 As royal banners are unfurled,
the cross displays its mystery:
the Maker of our flesh, in flesh,
impaled and hanging helplessly.
2 Already deeply wounded: see
his side now riven by a spear,
and all our sins are swept away
by blood and water flowing here.
3 See everything the prophets wrote
fulfilled in its totality,
and tell the nations of the world
our God is reigning from the tree.
4 This tree, ablaze with royal light
and with the blood-red robe it wears,
is hallowed and embellished by
the weight of holiness it bears.
5 Stretched like a balance here, his arms
have gauged the price of wickedness;
but, hanging here, his love outweighs
hell's unforgiving bitterness.
6 The Saviour, victim, sacrifice,
is, through his dying, glorified;
his life is overcome by death
and leaps up, sweeping death aside.
7 We hail the cross, faith's one true hope:
God's passion set in time and space,
by which our guilt is blotted out,
engulfed in such stupendous grace. Amen. Scripture: John 19:17-34 Languages: English Tune Title: VEXILLA REGIS
As royal banners are unfurled

speak of peace, now says our God.
Comfort those who sit in shadows,
mourning ’neath their sorrows’ load.
Speak unto Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them.
Tell of all the sins I cover,
and that warfare now is over.
2 Hark, the voice of one who’s crying
in the desert far and near,
bidding all to full repentance,
since the kingdom now is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way!
Valleys, rise in exaltation;
hills, bow down in adoration.
3 O make straight what long was crooked,
make the rougher places plain.
Let your hearts be true and humble,
as befits a holy reign.
For the glory of our God
now o’er earth is shed abroad.
And all flesh shall see the token
that God’s word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Tune Title: GENEVA 42 (FREU DICH SEHR)

As Jacob with Travel Was Weary One Day
Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #245 (1990) Meter: 11.11.11.11 with refrain Topics: Prophets Refrain First Line: Alleluia to Jesus, who died on the tree Lyrics: 1 As Jacob with travel was weary one day,
at night on a stone for a pillow he lay;
he saw in a vision a ladder so high,
that its foot was on earth and its top in the sky:
Refrain:
Alleluia to Jesus, who died on the tree,
and hath raised up a ladder of mercy for me,
and hath raised up a ladder of mercy for me.
2 This ladder is long, it is strong and well-made,
has stood hundreds of years and is not yet decayed;
many millions have climbed it and reached Sion's hill,
and thousands by faith are climbing it still. [Refrain]
3 Come, let us ascend! All may climb it who will;
for the angels of Jacob are guarding it still;
and remember, each step that by faith we pass o'er,
many prophets and martyrs have trod it before. [Refrain]
4 And when we arrive at the haven of rest,
we shall hear the glad words, "Come up hither, ye blest,
here are regions of light, here are mansions of bliss."
Oh, who would not climb such a ladder as this? [Refrain]

O Wondrous Sight, O Vision Fair
Author: J. Neale Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #256 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prophets Lyrics:
1 O wondrous sight, O vision fair
of glory that the church shall share,
which Christ upon the mountain shows,
where brighter than the sun he glows!
2 From age to age the tale declares
how with the three disciples there,
where Moses and Elijah meet,
the Lord holds converse high and sweet.
3 The law and prophets there have place,
two chosen witnesses of grace;
the Father’s voice from out the cloud
proclaims his only Son aloud.
4 With shining face and bright array
Christ deigns to manifest today
what glory shall be theirs above
who joy in God with perfect love.
5 And faithful hearts are raised on high
by this great vision’s mystery,
for which in joyful strains we raise
the voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.
