Author: Rev. Samuel Smith Appears in 1,945 hymnals Topics: Special Occasions Patriotic Hymns First Line: My country, 'tis of thee Lyrics: 1. My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From ev'ry mountain side
Let freedom ring.
2. My native country, thee,
Land of the noble, free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
3. Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake,
Let all that breathe partake,
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
4. Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King. Used With Tune: AMERICA

Watching round my bed. Amen. Used With Tune: GUIDANCE

Once in royal David’s city
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-95 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Topics: Hymns Specially Suitable for Children Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
stood a lowly cattle shed
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall;
with the poor, despised and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And through all his wondrous childhood,
day by day like us he grew;
he was little, weak, and helpless,
tears and smiles like us he knew;
and he feels for all our sadness,
and he shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love,
for that child so dear and gentle
is our Lord in heaven above;
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone.
5 Not in that poor lowly stable,
with the oxen standing by,
we shall see him: but in heaven,
set at God's right hand on high,
when his children gather round
bright like stars, with glory crowned.
Scripture: Luke 2:1-7 Used With Tune: IRBY

Rest for the Toiling Hand

Give out the welcome sound
That shakes thy silent chamber walls,
And breaks the turf-sealed ground.

Shall rise a heav'nly flow'r!

Then, in heav'n, with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
