Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: WSH1972 #539 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 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 is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall: With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us he grew; He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us he knew: And He comforts us in 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 so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above, And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone.

Once to Every Man and Nation

Author: James Russell Lowell Hymnal: WSH1972 #540 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, Offering each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 Then to side with truth is noble, When we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, And 'tis prosperous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses While the coward stands aside, Till the multitude make virtue Of the faith they had denied. 3 By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, your bleeding feet we track, Toiling up new Calvaries ever With the cross that turns not back; New occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. 4 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 'tis truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong, Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Stands our God within the shadow Keeping watch above his own. Amen.
