O little town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks (1835-93) Appears in 853 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God, the King, And peace to men on earth. For Christ is born of Mary; And, gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his Heaven. No ear may hear his coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Birth

Refrain: Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessèd Lord, To the cross where thou hast died; Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessèd Lord, To thy precious bleeding side. 2 Consecrate me now to thy service, Lord, By the power of grace divine; Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, And my will be lost in thine. 3 O the pure delight of a single hour That before thy throne I spend, When I kneel in prayer, and with thee, my God, I commune as friend with friend! 4 There are depths of love that I cannot know Till I cross the narrow sea; There are heights of joy that I may not reach Till I rest in peace with thee.

My life flows on in endless song

Author: Anon Appears in 145 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song; Above earth’s lamentation I hear the sweet though far-off hymn That hails a new creation. Through all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul; How can I keep from singing? 2 What though my joys and comforts die, The Lord, my Saviour, liveth! What though the darkness gather round, Songs in the nigh! he giveth! No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that refuge clinging; Since Christ is Lord of Heaven and earth How can I keep from singing? 3 I lift mine eyes, the cloud grows thin, I see the blue above it; And day by day this pathway smooths Since first I learned to love it. The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing; All things are mine since I am his; How can I keep from singing? Topics: The gospel Witness
