O Sing a Song of Bethlehem

Author: Louis FitzGerald Benson Hymnal: Glory to God #159 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Christian Year Nativity/Christmas; Christian Year Baptism of Jesus; Christian Year Transfiguration; Christian Year Good Friday; Christian Year Resurrection/Easter; Jesus Christ Life; Personal Peace; World Peace Lyrics: 1 O sing a song of Bethlehem, of shepherds watching there, and of the news that came to them from angels in the air. The light that shone on Bethlehem fills all the world today. Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth the angels sing alway. 2 O sing a song of Nazareth, of sunny days of joy; O sing of fragrant flowers' breath, and of the sinless boy. For now the flowers of Nazareth in every heart may grow. Now spreads the fame of his dear name on all the winds that blow. 3 O sing a song of Galilee, of lake and woods and hill, of him who walked upon the sea and bade its waves be still. For though, like waves on Galilee, dark seas of trouble roll, when faith has heard the Master's word, falls peace upon the soul. 4 O sing a song of Calvary, its glory and dismay, of him who hung upon the tree, and took our sins away. For he who died on Calvary is risen from the grave, and Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored, is mighty now to save. Scripture: Matthew 8:26 Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD

All the little boys he killed at Bethlem in his fury, at Bethlem in his fury. 4 Now may Mary's son, who came so long ago to love us, lead us all with hearts aflame unto the joys above us, unto the joys above us. 5 Omega and Alpha he! Let the organ thunder, while the choir with peals of glee doth rend the air asunder, doth rend the air asunder. Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Voices United #104 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Christian Year The Transfiguration; Assurance; Biblical Characters Peter; Christian Year Epiphany; Christian Year Transfiguration; God Grace; Holiness; Law; Prophets; Service Music Gathering, Call to Worship, Greeting; Temptation; Witness; Word of God; Worship; Epiphany Last/Transfig. Year B; Lent 2 Year B; Epiphany Last/Transfig. Year C; Lent 2 Year C Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding to this high and holy place, where we wait with hope and longing for some token of God’s grace. Here we pray for new assurance that our faith is not in vain, searching like those first disciples for a sign both clear and plain. 2 Light breaks in upon our darkness, splendour bathes the flesh-joined Word, Moses and Elijah marvel as the heavenly voice is heard. Eyes and hearts behold with wonder how the Law and Prophets meet: Christ, with garments drenched in brightness, stands transfigured and complete. 3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory, fearful lest our faith decline, we like Peter find it tempting to remain and build a shrine. But true worship gives us courage to proclaim what we profess, that our daily lives may prove us people of the God we bless. Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
