For the beauty of the earth

Author: Folliott Sandford Pierpoint (1835-1917) Appears in 639 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For the beauty of the earth, For the beauty of the skies, For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies, Father, unto thee we raise This our sacrifice of praise. 2 For the beauty of each hour Of the day and of the night, Hill and vale and tree and flower, Sun and moon and stars of light, Father, unto thee we raise This our sacrifice of praise. 3 For the joy of ear and eye, For the heart and mind’s delight, For the mystic harmony Linking sense to sound and sight, Father, unto thee we raise This our sacrifice of praise. 4 For the joy of human love, Brother, sister, parent, child, Friends on earth, and friends above, For all gentle thoughts and mild, Father, unto thee we raise This our sacrifice of praise. 5 For each perfect gift of thine To our race so freely given, Graces human and divine, Flowers of earth and buds of Heaven, Father, unto thee we raise This our sacrifice of praise.

Then I will bow in humble adoration, And there proclaim, my God, how great thou art! Topics: God the Father Works

O little town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks (1835-93) Appears in 851 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

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell

Appears in 405 hymnals First Line: The first Nowell the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter’s night that was so deep. Refrain: Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. 2 They looked up and saw a star, Shining in the east beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. 3 And by the light of that same star, Three wise men came from country far, To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. 4 This star drew near to the north-west, O’er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay. 5 Then entered in those wise men three, Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there in his presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. 6 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord, That hath made Heaven and earth of naught, And with his blood mankind hath bought.
