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

The wise may bring their learning

Author: Anon Hymnal: SBSA1986 #849 (1986) Person Name: Anon Lyrics: 1 The wise may bring their learning, The rich may bring their wealth, And some may bring their greatness, And some bring strength and health. We, too, would bring our treasures To offer to the King; We have no wealth or learning, What shall we children bring? 2 We’ll bring him hearts that love him, We’ll bring him thankful praise, And young souls meekly striving To walk in holy ways; And these shall be the treasures We offer to the King, And these are gifts that even The poorest child may bring. 3 We’ll bring the little duties We have to do each day; We’ll try our best to please him At home, at school, at play; And better are these treasures To offer to our King Than richest gifts without them; Yet these a child may bring.

Behold, he sleepeth not; he slumbereth ne’er Who keepeth Israel in his holy care. 3 Jehovah is himself thy keeper true, Thy changeless shade; Jehovah thy defence on thy right hand Himself hath made. And thee no sun by day shall ever smite, No moon shall harm thee in the silent night. 4 From every evil shall he keep thy soul, From every sin. Jehovah shall preserve thy going out, Thy coming in. Above thee watching, he whom we adore Shall keep thee henceforth, yea, for evermore. Topics: The salvation soldier Faith and trust Languages: English

Home is home, however lowly

Author: Arthur Smith Arnott (1870-1941) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #663 (1986) Person Name: Arthur Smith Arnott (1870-1941) Lyrics: 1 Home is home, however lowly, Home is sweet when love is there, Home is home when hearts are holy, Earth has ne’er a spot so fair. Jesus makes our home a heaven, Sacred in the fireside warm; After battling through the long day, Home’s a shelter from the storm. 2 To a little home in Bethany Jesus loved to wend his way; Tender hearts were waiting for him In the evening of the day. Jesus there dispelled the sadness, There the humble meal he blessèd; There they worshipped him with gladness; There his sacred form would rest. 3 Let us make our home the threshold Of the city bright and fair, Each the other’s joy possessing, Each the other’s burden share. In the storm of deep affliction Let us seek the heavenly balm, In life’s tempest just remember Prayer will make the storm a calm. Topics: Means of grace Family worship - Home Languages: English

We would not thirst for earth’s reward And lose the blessing of our Lord: His cup of pain and grief and strife That yieldeth up the gift of life. 4 Our Father, we beseech thee now: Receive again our first pure vow To stand though fire and tempest rage, Nor fear the terrors of our age, To love thee with a constant mind And lose ourselves to save mankind. 5 Our great redeemer liveth still, His love sustains us in thy will; Because he conquered, we shall win, His cross before, his joy within; Our cheerful banners are unfurled, For Christ has overcome the world.
