E’en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 2 Though like a wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yei in my dreams I’d be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 3 There let my way appear Steps unto Heaven; All that thou sendest me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 4 Then with my waking thoughts Bright with thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I’ll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 5 Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon and stars forgot, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee.

Once, in royal David’s city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-95) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #87 (1986) Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-95) 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 and mean and lowly Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And through all his wondrous childhood He would honour and obey, Love and watch the lowly mother In whose gentle arms he lay. Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as he. 4 For he is our childhood’s pattern; Day by day like us he grew; He was little, weak and helpless; Tears and smiles like us he knew; And he feeleth for our sadness, And he shareth in our gladness. 5 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. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Birth Languages: English

Sick, they ask for healing, Blind, they grope for day; Pour upon the nations Wisdom’s loving ray. Forward, out of error, Leave behind the night; Forward through the darkness, Forward into light. 3 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love him One day to be shared. Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard, Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech a word.
