A Wondrous Word

Author: Elsie Duncan Yale Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: As midnight hush so calm and still Refrain First Line: Glory to God, be to God on high Lyrics: 1 As midnight hush so calm and still Was brooding o’er the vale and hill, The shepherds ’neath the starry night Were watching o’er their flocks by night. But a wondrous word, Thro’ the silence heard, It was "Glory be to God, to God on high!" Refrain: Glory to God, be to God on high, Peace unto earth, unto earth is nigh; Glory, to God, list the reply! It is glory to God, unto God on high! 2 Bright star beams crowned the dreaming plain, The night wind breathed a soft refrain; O’er David’s town dark shadows crept, As shepherds still their vigil kept. But a wondrous word, Thro’ the silence heard, It was "Glory be to God, to God on high!" [Refrain] 3 O holy night! O night divine! What tender joy, what peace is thine! For ’mid thy silence seraphs come To herald One from heav’nly home. But a wondrous word, Thro’ the silence heard, It was "Glory be to God, to God on high!"

Come home, come home, unto thy Father’s love. 4 Cease from thy waywardness, Jesus invites, List to the Bride who with pleading unites, While the blest Spirit to prayer now incites, The Master is waiting for thee.

Hold Up the Banner

Author: S. Winchester Adriance Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Hold up the banner of the Lord Lyrics: 1. Hold up the banner of the Lord, And let it ne’er be taken; Sound forth the message of His Word To all of hope forsaken. Hold up the banner where He leads, Nor once forget the world’s great needs; To grander faith awaken. 2. Hold up the cross of Christ the Lord, Before the lost and dying; Tell them to look, e’er point them t’ward Him, Who Himself denying, Gave His great life from love of us, And suffered on the cruel cross, To cure all sin and sighing. 3. Hold up the Word of Christ the Lord, The Word of consolation; Glad news of peace—once lost—restored; Of help in each temptation. Hence let the light shine far away, That all who in deep error stray, From sin may find salvation. 4. Go on, true children of the Lord, From grace to grace go onward; God’s host will constant help afford, Our Captain’s word is forward. Never to sloth or fear give way, In work and prayer, each golden day, Go onward, forward, heav’nward.

Bless'd Is The Man Who Makes The Word

Author: Harriet Auber Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Bless’d is the man who makes the word Lyrics: 1 Bless’d is the man who makes the word Of God his constant guide; There learns the path his Savior trod, Nor turns his step aside, But shuns the broad and flowery way Where vice and folly love to stray. 2 He, like a tree whose spreading root Refreshing waters lave, Whose bending boughs with golden fruit In rich luxuriance wave, Shall firmly stand when storms invade— No leaf shall fall, no blossom fade. 3 And when, his life’s brief summer o’er, He shares the general doom, Though earth shall know his place no more, In Heaven he still shall bloom; And there, with endless glory crowned, In fruits of righteousness abound.
