Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Voices United #62 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle-shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, who, with God is over all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall. There among the poor and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 For he is our lifelong pattern; daily, when on earth he grew; he was tempted, scorned, rejected, tears and smiles like us he knew. Thus he feels for all our sadness, and he shares in all our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child who seemed so helpless is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone.

Away in a Manger

Author: Unknown Hymnal: Voices United #69 (1996) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. 2 The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky, and stay by my side until morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay close by me for ever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in your tender care, and fit us for heaven, to live with you there. Languages: English Tune Title: CRADLE SONG

As With Gladness Men of Old

Author: William Chatterton Dix Hymnal: Voices United #81 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old did the guiding star behold, as with joy they hailed its light, leading onward, beaming bright, so, most gracious Lord, may we evermore your splendour see. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, to that lowly manger bed, there to bend the knee before Christ, whom heaven and earth adore; so may we with eager pace ever seek your throne of grace. 3 As they offered gifts most rare at that manger rude and bare, so may we with holy joy, pure and free from sin's alloy, all our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to you, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day keep us in the narrow way; and, when earthly things are past, bring our ransomed lives at last where they need no star to guide, where no clouds your glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright none shall need created light; you its light, its joy, its crown, you its sun which goes not down; there forever may we sing hallelujah to our King.

The Valley of Peace

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Progressive Sunday School Songs #128 (1923) Topics: Paradise First Line: As we journey from earth to the kingdom above Refrain First Line: O the beautiful valley of peace Lyrics: 1 As we journey from earth to the kingdom above, In the path where the millions have trod, There a beautiful valley we meet on the way, And its light is the sunshine of God. How we turn to its shelter our travel-worn feet, From our burdens to find a release; And our souls are refreshed by the Shepherd divine, In the beautiful valley of peace. Refrain: O the beautiful valley of peace, Beautiful valley of peace; No tempests arise to darken the skies, Beautiful valley of peace. 2 Oh, that beautiful valley of holy delight Is secluded from earth and its woes; There the wiles of the tempter can never assail, And the weary awhile may repose. How we fly to its shelter from billow and storm, For we know their commotion will cease When we hear the sweet voice of the shepherd divine, In the beautiful valley of peace. [Refrain] 3 Oh, that beautiful valley of holy delight Is a foretaste of glory untold, That will burst on our eyes when we enter the gates To the city of jasper and gold. When at home with the blest in the mansions of rest, Where forever all sorrow shall cease, We will praise the dear name of our Shepherd divine For the beautiful valley of peace. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [As we journey from earth to the kingdom above]
