I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Author: Henry W. Longfellowm 1807-1882 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #40 (1957) Topics: National Righteousness Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace of earth, goodwill to men. 2 I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th'unbroken song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. 3 And in despair I bowed my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men." 4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, goodwill to men." 5 Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, goodwill to men! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHAM (Doane)

Author: Georgia Harkness, b. 1891 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #466 (1957) Topics: National Righteousness Lyrics: 1 Hope of the world, Thou Christ of great compassion, Speak to our fearful hearts, by conflict rent. Save us, Thy people, from consuming passion, Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent. 2 Hope of the world, God's gift from highest heaven, Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life, Still let Thy Spirit unto us be given To heal earth's wounds and end her bitter strife. 3 Hope of the world, afoot on dusty highways, Showing to wandering souls the path of light; Walk Thou beside us, lest the tempting byways Lure us away from Thee to endless night. 4 Hope of the world, who by Thy cross didst save us From death and dark despair, from sin and guilt: We render back the love Thy mercy gave us; Take Thou our lives and use them as Thou wilt. 5 Hope of the world, O Christ, o'er death victorious, Who by this sign did conquer grief and pain, We would be faithful to Thy gospel glorious: Thou art our Lord! Thou dost forever reign! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ANCIENT OF DAYS

The wicked persecute the poor In haughty pride and reckless pow'r. 2 Let their devices work their fall, For in their shame is all their pride; And while they seek unrighteous gain The Lord of justice is defied. 3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride, There is no God Who will repay; He has no fear of God or man Because God's judgments long delay. 4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom, On fraud and wickedness intent, With craft he lurks and waits to catch The helpless and the innocent. 5 A lion crouching for his prey, He waits the poor to overthrow; He thinks that God remembers not, Or hides His face and will not know. 6 Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand, O God, protect the poor and meek; Why should the proud Thy justice doubt, And words of bold defiance speak? 7 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite, The sin and sorrow Thou dost see; The helpless and the fatherless Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee. 8 Break Thou the pow'r of wicked men And let their works no longer stand; The Lord is King for evermore, Who drove the nations from His land. 9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer, The fainting heart Thou wilt restore, The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain, That mortal man may boast no more.
