Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
Who for us was born,
In the stable, cold and poor,
On glad Christmas morn.
Glory to the blessèd Jesus
Who was crucified
On Good Friday for our sins:
Loving us he died.
Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
Who for sinners lay
In the tomb, and rose upon
Happy Easter Day.
Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
He, who is our Way,
Went up in a cloud to heaven
On Ascension Day.
Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
Who at Whitsuntide
Sent his Holy Spirit down
With us to abide.
Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
We will praise his love,
All our days on earth below,
And for aye above.
Amen.

Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring,
With fervent prayer;
The wayward and the lost,
By restless passions tossed,
Redeemed at countless cost,
From dark despair.
Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring,
With one accord;
With us the work to share,
With us reproach to dare,
With us the cross to bear,
For Christ our Lord.
Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring,
With joyful song;
The newborn souls, whose days,
Reclaimed from error's ways,
Inspired with hope and praise,
To Christ belong.

Let wisdom broaden with the day,
Let human faith abide.

Who follow, gain the goal;
With reverence crown the earnest mind,
And speak within the soul.

And, falling, stands again;
Confirm the will of eager lives
To quit themselves like men:

Thy love the law that rules,

And come in thy great might;
Revive our longing eyes,
Which languish for thy sight.

Thick darkness broodeth yet:
Arise, O Morning Star,
Arise, and never set.

Opened is the gate of heaven,
Peace is made 'twixt man and God.

There for ever to abide;
All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
Seated at thy Father's side.

God of might and power,
Thou thyself art dwelling
With us at this hour.
Nature cannot hold thee,
Heaven is all too strait
For thine endless glory
And thy royal state.

Of the farthest star,
Thou art ever stretching
Infinitely far.
Yet the hearts of children
Hold what worlds cannot,
And the God of wonders
Loves the lowly spot.

Thou art with us now;
Fill us with thy goodness
Till our hearts o'erflow.

Advent tells us Christ is near;
Christmas tells us Christ is here!
In Epiphany we trace
All the glory of his grace.
Those three Sundays before Lent
Will prepare us to repent,
That in Lent we may begin
Earnestly to mourn for sin.
Holy Week and Easter, then,
Tell who died and rose again:
O that happy Easter Day!
"Christ is risen indeed," we say.
Yes, and Christ ascended, too,
To prepare a place for you;
So we give him special praise,
After those great forty days.
Then, he sent the Holy Ghost,
On the day of Pentecost,
With us ever to abide:
Well may we keep Whitsuntide!
Last of all, we humbly sing
Glory to our God and King,
Glory to the One in Three,
On the Feast of Trinity.

Jesus, from thy throne on high,
Far above the bright blue sky,
Look on us with loving eye:
Little children need not fear,
When they know that thou art near:
Thou dost love us, Savior dear:
Little hearts may love thee well,
Little lips thy love may tell,
Little hymns thy praises swell:

Little lives may be divine,
Little deeds of love may shine,
Little ones be wholly thine:
Jesus, once an infant small,
Cradled in the oxen's stall,
Though the God and Lord of all:
Once a child so good and fair,
Feeling want, and toil, and care,
All that we may have to bear:
Jesus, thou dost love us still,
And it is thy holy will
That we should be safe from ill:
Be thou with us every day,
In our work and in our play,
When we learn and when we pray:
When we lie asleep at night,
Ever may thy angels bright
Keep us safe till morning light:
Make us brave without a fear,
Make us happy, full of cheer,
Sure that thou art always near:
May we prize our Christian name,
May we guard it free from blame,
Fearing all that causes shame:
336
May we grow from day to day,
Glad to learn each holy way,
Ever ready to obey:
May we ever try to be
From all sinful tempers free,
Pure and gentle, Lord, like thee:
May our thoughts be undefiled,
May our words be true and mild,
Make us each a holy child:
Jesus, Son of God most high,
Who didst in a manger lie,
Who upon the cross didst die:
Jesus, from thy heavenly throne,
Watching o'er each little one,
Till our life on earth is done:
Jesus, whom we hope to see
Calling us in heaven to be
Happy evermore with thee:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Hasten the time appointed,
By prophets long foretold,
When all shall dwell together,
One Shepherd and one fold.
Let every idol perish,
To moles and bats be thrown,
And every prayer be offered
To God in Christ alone.
Let Jew and Gentile, meeting
From many a distant shore
Around one altar kneeling,
One common Lord adore.
Let all that now divides us
Remove and pass away,
Like shadows of the morning
Before the blaze of day.
Let all that now unites us
More sweet and lasting prove,
A closer bond of union,
In a blest land of love.
Let war be learned no longer,
Let strife and tumult cease,
All earth his blessed kingdom,
The Lord and Prince of Peace.
O long-expected dawning,
Come with thy cheering ray!
When shall the morning brighten,
The shadows flee away?
O sweet anticipation!
It cheers the watchers on
To pray, and hope, and labour,
Till the dark night be gone.

Brings tidings from afar,

And seek the Savior's blessing,

Flow thou to every nation,
Nor in thy richness stay:
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home;
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim, "The Lord is come!"

And grow by every gospel rule
Unto salvation wise.

The fruits of Sunday schools shalt show,
The bliss of Sabbath days.

Till tasks and teaching here shall end,
Tongues fail, and knowledge cease.

O help thy children when they call;
That they may build from age to age
An undefilèd heritage.

With steadfastness and careful truth;

The truth whereby the nations live.
Teach us to rule ourselves alway,
Controlled and cleanly night and day;
That we may bring, if need arise,
No maimed or worthless sacrifice.

Teach us to look in all our ends
On thee for Judge and not our friends;
That we, with thee, may walk uncowed
By fear or favour of the crowd.
Teach us the strength that cannot seek,
By deed or thought, to hurt the weak;
That, under thee, we may possess
Man's strength to comfort man's distress.
Teach us delight in simple things,
And mirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all men 'neath the sun.

Where gems of truth are stored,

It shineth like a beacon
Above the darkling world;

That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
Still guides, O Christ, to thee.
O make thy Church, dear Savior,
A lamp of purest gold,
To bear before the nations
Thy true light as of old;
O teach thy wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace
Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see thee face to face.

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.
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.
O 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.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the evercircling years,
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace their King,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Hymnal #95a (1916) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Sunday Schools Epiphanytide; Sunday Schools Lyrics:
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.
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.
Shall we not yield him, in costly devotion,
Odours of Edom, and offerings divine,
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine?
Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would his favour secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
Brightest and best of the rolls 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.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
He comes with succour speedy
To those who suffer wrong,
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in his sight.
He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in his path to birth:
Before him on the mountains
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness in fountains
From hill to valley flow.
Kings shall bow down before him.
And gold and incense bring;
All nations shall adore him,
His praise all people sing;
To him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
O'er every foe victorious,
He on his throne shall rest;
From age to age more glorious,
All-blessing and all-blest:
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His Name shall stand for ever,
His changeless Name of Love.

Low we bow the adoring knee;
When, repentant, to the skies
Scarce we lift our weeping eyes,
O by all thy pains and woe
Suffered once for man below,
Bending from thy throne on high,
Hear our solemn litany!
By thy helpless infant years,
By thy life of want and tears,
By thy days of sore distress
In the savage wilderness,
By the dread mysterious hour
Of the insulting tempter's power;
Turn, O turn a favouring eye,
Hear our solemn litany!
By the sacred grief that wept
O'er the grave where Lazarus slept;
By the boding tears that flowed
Over Salem's loved abode;
By the anguished sigh that told
Treachery lurked within thy fold;
From thy seat above the sky,
Hear our solemn litany!
By thine hour of dire despair,
By thine agony of prayer,
By the cross, the nail, the thorn,
Piercing spear, and torturing scorn;
By the gloom that veiled the skies
O'er the dreadful sacrifice;
Listen to our humble cry,
Hear our solemn litany!
By thy deep expiring groan,
By the sad sepulchral stone,
By the vault, whose dark abode
Held in vain the rising God:
O from earth to heaven restored,
Mighty, reascended Lord,
Listen, listen to the cry
Of our solemn litany!

There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified
Who died to save us all.
We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains he had to bear,
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven,
Saved by his precious blood.
There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin,
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.
O dearly, dearly has he loved!
And we must love him too,
And trust in his redeeming blood,
And try his works to do.

For this we count the world but loss.
Inscribed upon the cross we see
In shining letters, God is love:
He bears our sins upon the tree:
He brings us mercy from above.
The cross, it takes our guilt away;
It holds the fainting spirit up;
It cheers with hope the gloomy day,
And sweetens every bitter cup.
It makes the coward spirit brave,
And nerves the feeble arm for fight;
It takes its terror from the grave,
And gilds the bed of death with light.
The balm of life, the cure of woe,
The measure and the pledge of love,
The sinner's refuge here below,
The angels' theme in heaven above.

For our pardon cries.

Make their glad reply.

May raise the victor strain.

The round world keep high triumph,
And all that is therein;
