Refrain: Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. 2 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment-seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on.

Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call thee mine. 2 How art thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn; How does that visage languish, Which once was bright as morn! Thy grief and bitter passion Were all for sinners’ gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But thine the deadly pain. A-men. 3 What language shall I borrow To thank thee, dearest friend, For this thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me thine for ever, And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love for thee. 4 Be near when I am dying, O show thy Cross to me! And, for my succor flying, Come, Lord, to set me free. These eyes, new faith receiving, From thee shall never move; For he who dies believing Dies safely in thy love. Amen.

For this fair land, For this bright day, Our thanks we pay-- Gifts of thy hand. 3 May every mountain height, Each vale and forest green, Shine in thy word's pure light, And its rich fruits be seen! May every tongue Be tuned to praise, And join to raise A grateful song. 4 Earth, hear thy Maker's voice, The great Redeemer own; Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship him alone, Cast down thy pride, Thy sin deplore, And bow before The Crucified. 5 And when in power he comes, O may our native land, From all its rending tombs, Send forth a glorious band, A countless throng Ever to sing To heaven's high King Salvation's song.

When I survey the wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 2,000 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous Cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his Blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

O little town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835 - 1893 Appears in 848 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 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth! A-men. 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! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS CAROL
