Hush, My Dear

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 59 hymnals First Line: Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber Lyrics: 1. Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber, Holy angels guard thy bed, Heav’nly blessings without number, Gently falling on thy head. How much better thou’rt attended, Than the Son of God could be, When from Heaven He descended, And became a child like thee! 2. Soft and easy is thy cradle, Coarse and hard thy Savior lay: When His birthplace was a stable, And His softest bed was hay. Oh, to tell the wondrous story, How His foes abused their King; How they killed the Lord of glory, Makes me angry while I sing. 3. Hush, my child, I did not chide thee, Though my song may seem so hard; ’Tis thy mother sits beside thee, And her arms shall be thy guard. May’st thou learn to know and fear Him, Love and serve Him all thy days; Then to dwell forever near Him, Tell His love and sing His praise.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 417 hymnals 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 Savior holy. 3 Jesus 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 comforts us in sadness, And He shares in all our gladness. 4 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. Amen. Topics: Sacraments Baptism; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Other Observances Christian Education Scripture: John 7:40-44 Used With Tune: IRBY

Author: R. H. Baynes Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, Lord of glory, Look on us Thy flock to-day, Meekly kneeling at Thy footstool For Thy sevenfold gifts we pray; Guide us all our earthly journey In the true and narrow way. 2 Foes on every hand are round us, And our hearts are weak and frail; Gird us with Thy heavenly armor; Never let us yield or quail; Give us victory in the struggle When the hosts of sin assail. 3 Blessèd Jesus, draw Thou near us, As before Thy cross we bow; Help us to be true and faithful, Seal our sacramental vow; We Thy soldiers are, and servants; Hear our solemn promise now. 4 Lead us by Thy guiding presence Through the waste, with danger rife; Feed us with the heavenly manna, That we faint not in the strife; Slake our weary spirits' thirsting, From the living well of life. 5 Looking ever unto Jesus, Leaning on His staff and rod; May we follow in His footsteps, Tread the path that He has trod, Till we dwell with Him forever In the Paradise of God. Amen. Topics: Confirmation Used With Tune: BAMBERG
