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)

Somebody Did a Golden Deed
Author: John R. Clements, 1868-1946 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #450 (2006) Topics: Social Betterment Lyrics: 1 Somebody did a golden deed,
Proving himself a friend in need;
Somebody sang a cheerful song,
Brightening the sky the whole day long,
Was that somebody you?
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!

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]

Our Best
Author: S. C. Kirk, 20th Century Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #455 (2006) Topics: Social Betterment First Line: Hear ye the Master's call Refrain First Line: Every work for Jesus will be blest Lyrics: 1 Hear ye the Master’s call,
“Give Me thy best!”
For, be it great or small,
That is His test.
Do then the best you can,
Not for reward,
Not for the praise of men,
But for the Lord.
Refrain:
Every work for Jesus will be blest,
But He asks from everyone
His best.
Our talents may be few,
These may be small,
But unto Him is due
Our best, our all.
2 Wait not for men to laud,
Heed not their slight;
Winning the smile of God
Brings its delight!
Aiding the good and true
Ne’er goes unblest,
All that we think or do,
Be it the best. (Refrain)
3 Night soon comes on apace,
Day hastens by;
Workman and work must face
Testing on high.
Oh, may we in that day
Find rest, sweet rest,
Which God has promised those
Who do their best. (Refrain) Languages: English Tune Title: [Hear ye the Master's call]

Yet to eternity standeth Thy Word;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee:

Praise Him who saved them from peril and sword,
Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean,
Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord.

With freedom's holy light;

Fill all our lives with love and grace divine;

Author: Frank M. North, 1850-1935 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #465 (2006) Topics: Social Betterment Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
Where sound the cries of race and clan,
Above the noise of selfish strife,
We hear Thy voice, O Son of man!
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of greed,
We catch the vision of Thy tears.
3 The cup of water giv'n for Thee
Stills holds the freshness of Thy grace;
Yet long these multitudes to see
The sweet compassion of Thy face.
4 O Master, from the mountain side,
Make haste to heal these hearts of pain,
Among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again;
5 Till sons of men shall learn Thy love,
And follow where Thy feet have trod;
Till glorious from Thy heaven above
Shall come the city of our God.

Speak to our fearful hearts, by conflict rent.

Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent.

Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life,
Still let Thy Spirit unto us be given
To heal earth's wounds and end her bitter strife.

Showing to wandering souls the path of light;
Walk Thou beside us, lest the tempting byways
Lure us away from Thee to endless night.
4 Hope of the world, who by Thy cross didst save us
From death and dark despair, from sin and guilt:
We render back the love Thy mercy gave us;
Take Thou our lives and use them as Thou wilt.

Who by this sign did conquer grief and pain,
We would be faithful to Thy gospel glorious:
Thou art our Lord! Thou dost forever reign!

A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!

Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
4 O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Once to Every Man and Nation
Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #468 (2006) Topics: Social Betterment Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new Messiah,
Offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 By the light of burning martyrs,
Jesus' bleeding feet I track
Toiling up new Calvaries ever
With the cross that turns not back'
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
3 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet the truth alone is strong:
Tho' her portion be the scaffold,
Wrong forever on the throne,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow,
Keeping watch above His own.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER (Toy-Y-Botel)

Not Alone for Mighty Empire
Author: William P. Merrill, 1867-1954 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #469 (2006) Topics: Social Betterment Lyrics: 1 Not alone for mighty empire,
Stretching far o'er land and sea;
Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Lift we up our hearts to Thee.
Standing in the living present,
Memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise Thee most for things unseen.
2 Not for battleship and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword;
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord;
For the heritage of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school;
For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living Word;
For all heroes of the Spirit,
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord.
4 God of justice, save the people
From the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction:
Make our nation free indeed.
Keep her faith in simple manhoood
Strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition
In the brotherhood of man.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
