Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

Author: Gerard Moultrie Hymnal: HFLC1974 #101 (1974) Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence, And with fear and trembling stand; Ponder nothing earthly minded, For with blessing in His hand, Christ our God to earth descendeth, Our full homage to demand. 2 King of kings, yet born of Mary, As of old on earth He stood, Lord of lords, in human vesture, In the body and the blood, He will give to all the faithful His own self for heav'nly food. 3 Rank on rank the host of heaven Spreads its vanguard on the way, As the Light of light descendeth From the realms of endless day, That the pow'rs of hell may vanish As the darkness clears away. 4 At his feet the six-winged Seraph; Cherubim, with sleepless eye, Veil their faces to the presence, As with ceaseless voice they cry, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia! Lord most high! Amen. Topics: Christ Advent (first); Christ Light; Praise of Christ Scripture: Psalm 2:11 Languages: English Tune Title: PICARDY

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: HFLC1974 #104 (1974) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good-will to men, From heav'n's all-gracious King": The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lonely plains They bend on hovering wing: And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet seen of old, When, with the ever-circling years, Shall come the time foretold, When the new heav'n and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: HFLC1974 #109 (1974) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 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 feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Thro' His own redeeming love; For that child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above, And he leads His children on To the place where He is gone.
