O Night Of Nights, Supreme Delights
Author: John C. Earle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O night of nights, supreme delights,
Thy watches charm and bless;
And joys of Heav’n, profusely giv’n,
Refresh earth’s wilderness.
2 The sad, sick world through Eve lies furled
In clouds of death and night;
But God doth rise in human guise
To be its life and light.
3 Whom angels own as God alone,
Is clothed by mortal hands;
In cattle stall, the Lord of all
Sleeps clasped in swathing bands.
4 In cradle laid, His voice is stayed,
Who is th’eternal Word:
The sun grows pale, his forces fail;
What means all we have heard?
5 O shaft of love, to God above
A rock hewn home is giv’n:
Farewell ye stars; hail, crib and bars;
A manger is my heaven. Used With Tune: YORK Text Sources: Sequence of Marburne, Order of St. Benedict, Abbot of Livry, 15th Century; Tr.: Annus Sanctus (Vol. 1) by Orby Shipley (London and New York: Burns & Oates, 1884)
O Night Of Nights, Supreme Delights
When Jesus, By The Virgin Brought
Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 When Jesus, by the Virgin brought,
So runs the law of Heav’n,
Was offered holy to the Lord,
And at the altar given;
2 Simeon the Just and the Devout,
Who, frequent in the fane,
Had for the Savior waited long,
But waited still in vain,
3 Came, Heav’n directed, at the hour
When Mary held her Son;
He stretchèd forth his agèd arms,
While tears of gladness run:
4 With holy joy upon his face
The good old father smiled,
While fondly in his withered arms
He clasped the promised Child.
5 And then he lifted up to Heav’n
An earnest asking eye;
"My joy is full, my hour is come,
Lord, let Thy servant die!
6 "At last my arms embrace my Lord,
Now let their vigor cease;
At last my eyes my Savior see,
Now let them close in peace!
7 "The star and glory of the land
Hath now begun to shine;
The morning that shall gild the globe
Breaks on these eyes of mine!" Used With Tune: YORK

This World Is All Enchanted Ground
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This world is all enchanted ground,
O whither shall I fly?
The vengeful flames are kindling round,
And if I stop, I die.
2 When some kind hand has brought me forth,
How lingering is my pace!
Lord, either drive me by Thy wrath,
Or draw me by Thy grace.
3 O let me not a moment waste,
On this destructive plain;
Hence let me flee with greater haste,
Till I the Zoar gain. Used With Tune: YORK Text Sources: Appeared posthumously in Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton and Briggs,1818)

He that is down needs fear no fall
Author: John Bunyan, 1628-1688 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He that is down needs fear no fall,
he that is low no pride;
he that is humble ever shall
have God to be his guide.
2 I am content with what I have,
little be it or much:
and, Lord, contentment still I crave,
because thou savest such.

that go on pilgrimage:
here little, and hereafter bliss,
is best from age to age. Topics: General Hymns Christian Vocation and Witness Used With Tune: YORK
