It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: Voices United #44 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Christian Year Christmas; Angels; Christian Year Christmas; Comfort/Consolation; Courage; Hope; Jesus Christ Birth and Infancy; Justice; Kingdom of God; Music and Singing; Peace (World); Prophets; Rest; Sin; Christmas Eve Year A; Christmas Eve Year B; Advent 3 Year C; Christmas Eve Year C; Christmas Day 1 Year C 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 all,
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 Yet with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long;
beneath the angel strain have rolled
two thousand years of wrong;
and warring humankind hears not
the love song which they bring.
O hush the noise and cease your strife,
and hear the angels sing.
4 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
its ancient splendours fling,
and the whole world send back the song
which now the angels sing. Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

All My Hope on God Is Founded
Author: J. Neander; Robert Bridges Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #51 (1977) Topics: Christian Experience and Devotion Hope and Courage Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded;
He doth still my trust renew:
Me through change and chance He guideth,
Only good and only true.
God unknown,
He alone
Calls my heart to be His own.
2 Pride of man and earthly glory,
Sword and crown betray man's trust;
What with care and toil he buildeth,
Tower and temple, fall to dust.
But God's power,
Hour by hour,
Is my temple and my tower.
3 God's great goodness aye endureth,
Deep His wisdom, passing thought:
Splendor, light and life attend Him,
Beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore
From His store
Newborn worlds rise and adore.
4 Daily doth th'Almighty Giver
Bounteous gifts on us bestow;
His desire our souls delighteth,
Pleasure leads us where we go.
Love doth stand
At His hand,
Joy doth wait on His command.
5 Still from man to God eternal
Sacrifice of praise be done,
High above all praises praising
For the gift of Christ, His Son.
Christ doth call
One and all:
Ye who follow shall not fall. Languages: English Tune Title: MICHAEL

Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve
Father, I know that all my life
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #79 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Courage of Christians Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life
Is portion'd out by Thee;
The changes that will surely come
I do not fear to see:
I ask Thee for a present mind,
Intent on pleasing Thee.
2 I ask Thee for a thoughtful love,
Through constant watching wise,
To meet the glad with joyful smiles,
And to wipe the weeping eyes;
A heart at leisure from itself,
To soothe and sympathize.
3 I would not have the restless will
That hurries to and fro,
That seeks for some great thing to do,
Or secret thing to know:
I would be treated as a child,
And guided where I go.
4 Wherever in the world I am,
In whatsoe'er estate,
I have a fellowship with hearts,
To keep and cultivate;
A work of lowly love to do
For Him on whom I wait.
5 I ask Thee for the daily strength,
To none that ask denied,
A mind to blend with outward life,
While keeping at Thy side;
Content to fill a little space,
If Thou be glorified.
6 And if some things I do not ask,
Among my blessings be,
I'd have my spirit filled the more
With grateful love to Thee;
More careful, not to serve Thee much,
But please Thee perfectly. Languages: English
Father, I know that all my life
God is the refuge of His saints
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #80 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Courage of Christians Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of His saints,
When storms of deep distress invade,
Ere we can offer our complaints,
Behold Him present with His aid.
2 Let mountains from their seats be hurl'd
Down to the deep, and buried there;
Convulsions shake the solid world:
Our faith shall never yield to fear.
3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar,
In sacred peace our souls abide;
While every nation, every shore
Trembles and dreads the swelling tide.
4 'Midst storms and tempests, Lord, Thy word
Does every rising fear control;
Sweet peace Thy promises afford,
And well sustain the fainting soul. Languages: English
God is the refuge of His saints
God Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
Author: Catherine Cameron Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #81 (1977) Topics: Christian Experience and Devotion Hope and Courage First Line: God, who stretched the spangled heavens Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens,
Infinite in time and place,
Flung the suns in burning radiance
Through the silent fields of space,
We Thy children, in Thy likeness,
Share inventive powers with Thee:
Great Creator, still creating,
Teach us what we yet may be.
2 Proudly rise our modern cities,
Stately buildings, row on row;
Yet their windows, blank, unfeeling,
Stare on canyoned streets below,
Where the lonely drift unnoticed
In the city's ebb and flow,
Lost to purpose and to meaning,
Scarcely caring where they go.
3 We have conquered worlds undreamed of
Since the childhood of our race;
Known the ecstasy of winging
Through untraveled realms of space;
Probed the secrets of the atom,
Yielding unimagined power,
Facing us with life's destruction
Or our most triumphant hour.
4 As Thy new horizons beckon,
Father, give us strength to be
Children of creative purpose,
Thinking Thy thoughts after Thee,
Till our dreams are rich with meaning,
Each endeavor, Thy design:
Great Creator, lead us onward,
Till our work is one with Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY MANNA
