When the morning paints the skies
Come, My Soul, with Every Care
Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Come, my soul, with ev'ry care Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, with ev'ry care;
Jesus loves to answer prayer.
He himself bids you to pray.
He will never turn away,
he will never turn away.
2 You are coming to a king--
large petitions with you bring.
For his grace and pow'r are such,
none can ever ask too much,
none can ever ask too much.
3 With my burden I begin:
Lord, remove this load of sin;
let your blood, for sinners spilt,
set my conscience free from guilt,
set my conscience free from guilt.
4 Lord, your rest to me impart;
take possession of my heart.
There your blood-bought right maintain,
and without a rival reign,
and without a rival reign.
5 While I am a pilgrim here,
let your love my spirit cheer.
As my guide, my guard, my friend,
lead me to my journey's end,
lead me to my journey's end.
6 Show me what I have to do;
ev'ry hour my strength renew.
I would have your will, not mine;
for it's perfect, good, and kind,
for it's perfect, good, and kind. Topics: Christian Life; Faith Prayer for ; Pilgrimage and Guidance; Prayer Scripture: Matthew 7:7 Used With Tune: HENDON

Gently Falls The Winter Snow
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Gently falls the winter snow,
Earth lies silently below,
While the tender Plant appears,
Promised long by holy seers.
Refrain:
Hail the ever blessèd morn,
Hail the day that Christ was born;
Tell it thro’ Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
2 He who built the starry skies
Low within a manger lies,
Stooping from His throne sublime
High above the cherubim. [Refrain]
3 Say, ye wondering shepherds, say,
What your joyful news today;
Wherefore have you left your sheep?
Wherefore fail your watch to keep? [Refrain]
4 As we watched at dead of night
Lo! we saw a wondrous sight—
Angels singing Peace on earth,
Telling of the Savior’s birth. [Refrain]
5 Haste we now to greet God’s Child,
Watch His face so meek and mild,
Learn the love of Heaven to see
In our Lord’s humility. [Refrain] Used With Tune: FRENCHMAN MOUNTAIN
Gently Falls The Winter Snow
Though the fig-tree's blossom fail
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
Though the fig-tree's blossom fail,
And the vines should bring no fruit;
Though the olive, smit with hail,
Cast its foliage round the root;
Though the fields should yield no meat,
And the herds forsake the stall,
In the folds no flocks should bleat
At the shepherd's well-known call:--
Yet will I in God rejoice,
In Jehovah I will trust,
And extol, with heart and voice,
His salvation from the dust;
He can raise my fallen head,
He can all my sickness cure;
God will give His children bread,
And their water shall be sure.

Long Ago In Bethlehem's Plain
Author: H. R. Waite Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Long ago in Bethelehem’s plain Lyrics: 1 Long ago in Bethelehem’s plain,
While the trembling shepherd throng
Listened to the wondrous strain,
Angels sang this holy song:
Lo! we bring you news of joy,
Peace on earth, good-will to men;
Glory be to God on high,
Christ the Lord is born—Amen.
2 Long ago the wise men came
From the far off Orient way,
Guided by the starry flame,
Where the Son of Mary lay.
Came to hear this news of joy,
Peace on earth, good-will to men;
Glory be to God on high,
Christ the Lord is born—Amen.
3 Bethlehem’s star is still in sight,
We rejoice to see its rays:
Angels sing again tonight:
We repeat the song of praise—
Hallelujah! shout for joy!
Peace on earth, good-will to men;
Glory be to God on high,
Christ the Lord is born—Amen.
4 Gates of pearl are open wide,
Christ the Lord has passed within,
He on earth for sinners died,
That they, too, might enter in.
Hear! oh, hear the cry of joy,
Peace on earth, good-will to men;
Glory be to God on high,
Christ the Lord is born—Amen.
5 Songs of angels, starry light,
Glad evangels from above,
Lead us all, this Christmas night,
Toward the shining gates above,
Whence first came this song of joy,
Peace on earth, good-will to men;
Glory be to God on high,
Christ the Lord is born–Amen. Used With Tune: BARCELONA Text Sources: The Sunday School Teacher, Vol. IV (London: Sunday School Union, 1871)
Long Ago In Bethlehem's Plain
Jesus, Sailing On the Sea
Author: Alan Gaunt Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesus, sailing on the sea,
through a storm on Galilee,
on a cushion fast asleep,
heedless of the raging deep:
your disciples, full of dread,
fearing they will soon be dead,
shake you, crying in despair,
"We are drowning! Don't you care?"
2 Soon, before the boat can spill,
you are shouting, "Peace! Be still!"
Now the wind and sea are calm,
and the crew are safe from harm.
You say, "Why are you afraid,
why distraught and so dismayed?
Is your trust in God so small;
do you have no faith at all?"
3 Your disciples, filled with awe,
say, "Who's known such things before?
Who is this we've seen today,
whom the wind and waves obey?"
Lord, though we are frightened too
by the harm the world can do,
calm our fears when tempests rise;
give us faith that never dies. Topics: Afflictions/Trials; Epiphany and Ministry of Christ ; Jesus Christ Miracles of; Protection Scripture: Luke 8:22-25 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

God Of Truth, Thy Sons Should Be
Author: Samuel Longfellow Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: God of truth! Thy sons should be Lyrics: 1 God of truth! Thy sons should be
Firmly grounded upon Thee;
Ever on the Rock abide,
High above the changing tide.
2 Theirs is the unwavering mind,
No more tossed with every wind;
No more doth their ’stablished heart
From the living God depart.
3 Father, strengthen Thou my will;
With Thine own steadfastness fill;
Rooted, grounded, may I be,
Fixed in Thy stability.
4 Henceforth may I nobly stand;
Build no longer on the sand;
But defy temptation’s shock,
Firmly grounded on the Rock. Used With Tune: KÜCKEN Text Sources: Hymns of the Spirit (Boston: Ticknor & Fields, 1864)
