All my heart this night rejoices

Author: C. Winkworth; P. Gerhardt Appears in 277 hymnals Topics: Youth and School Life Carols Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night rejoices, As I hear, Far and near Sweetest angel voices: "Christ is born," their choirs are singing, Till the air Everywhere Now with joy is ringing. 2 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, Doth entreat, "Flee from woe and danger! Brethren, come! from all that grieves you, You are freed; All you need I will surely give you. 3 Come, then, let us hasten yonder! Here let all, Great and small, Kneel in awe and wonder! Love Him Who with love is yearning! Hail the Star, That from far Bright with hope is burning! 4 Thee, dear Lord, with heed I'll cherish, Live to Thee, And with Thee Dying, shall not perish; But shall live with Thee for ever, Far on high, In the joy That can alter never.

By Cool Siloam's Shady Rill

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 607 hymnals Topics: Home and Youth Children Lyrics: 1. By cool Siloam's shady rill, How sweet the lily grows! How sweet the breath, beneath the hill, Of Sharon's dewy rose! 2. Lo, such the child whose early feet The paths of peace have trod; Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God. 3. And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man's maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow's pow'r And stormy passion's rage. 4. O Thou, whose infant feet were found Within Thy Father's shrine, Whose year, with changeless virtue crowned, Were all alike divine; 5. Dependent on Thy bounteous breath, We seek Thy grace alone In childhood, manhood, age, and death, To keep us still Thine own. Used With Tune: SILOAM

Amen. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Broad and deep and glorious As the heaven above, Shines in might victorious His eternal love. 3 Lord, upon our blindness Thy pure radiance pour; For Thy loving-kindness Make us love Thee more. And when clouds are drifting Dark across our sky, Then, the veil uplifting, Father, be Thou nigh. 3 We will never doubt Thee, Though Thou veil Thy light: Life is dark without Thee; Death with Thee is bright.

Hail, in the time appointed, God's reign on earth begun! Christ comes to break oppression, to set the captive free; to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2 Christ comes with justice surely to those who suffer wrong, to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong, to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, are precious in his sight. 3 Christ shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth, and love, joy, hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth. Before him on the mountains shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness in fountains from hill to valley flow. 4 To him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend, his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never his covenant remove. His name shall stand for ever: that name to us is Love. Used With Tune: CRÜGER
