O God, Whose Love Is Over All

Author: John H. Holmes Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, whose love is over all The children of Thy grace, Whose rich and tender blessings fall On every age and place, Hear Thou the songs and prayers we raise In eager joy to Thee, And teach us, as we sound Thy praise, In all things Thee to see. 2. To see Thee in the sun by day And in the stars by night, In waving grass and ocean spray And leaves and flowers bright; To hear Thy voice, like spoken word, In every breeze that blows, In every song of every bird, And every brook that flows. 3. To see Thee in each quiet home Where faith and love abide, In school and church, where all may come To seek Thee side by side; To see Thee in each human life, Each struggling human heart, Each path by which, in eager strife, Men seek the better part.

Lift Up Your Heads In Joyful Hope

Author: Martin Madan; Richard W. Adams Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads in joyful hope, Salute the happy morn; Hear heav’nly power proclaim the hour: Lo, Jesus Christ is born. All glory be to God on high, To Him all praise is due; The promise sealed, the Lord revealed, He proves the record true. 2 Let joy around like rivers flow, Flow on, and still increase, Spread o’er the earth at Jesus’ birth, With Heav’n and men at peace. Rejoice, come see, salvation free For Adam’s helpless race: From Heaven’s throne to save His own, Messiah comes with grace. 3 Then let us join the skies above, Where shining seraphs sing; Join angel powers, their Lord is ours, Our prophet, priest, and king. The tidings of great joy be spread To earth’s remotest bound; With heav’nly host, to every coast We raise the joyful sound.

Bethlehem

Author: Henry W. Frost Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O Bethlehem, sweet Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 O Bethlehem, sweet Bethlehem, To thee my song I sing; To thee I raise my humble lay, Thou city of the King. Above thy courts the angels sang Their brightest seraph song, And, faintly echoing their refrain, I would their praise prolong. 2 I see thy wide and wooded fields, Thy rocky slopes and hills, Thy valleys deep, where waters flow, In sparkling, tuneful rills. Thy balmy air is rich with scent, Of olive and of vine, Thy trees hang low with ripened fruit, Thy vats o’erflow with wine. 3 Thy shepherd boys, like David, lead Their flocks with winsome call, Across thy uplands bright, and through Deep vales where shadows fall. Thy dusky men and ruddy maids Are scattered ’cross the plain— Where Ruth once followed Boaz’s men— And harvest golden grain. 4 Thy mothers hush their babes to rest, With hymns of David’s Lord, Thy sing how in yon cave He came To heav’nly love afford; The scene is fair, and all is joy About thy well kept walls; Yea, sorrows never touch thy gates, Thy hearthstones or thy halls. 5 Beyond is darksome Calvary And sad Gethsemane; But shadows flee, bright Bethlehem, Whene’er they come to thee! Lo, as I gaze, a vision breaks: Behold, I see the Child Lie once again in cave of stone, All pure and undefiled. 6 The virgin mother bends above, To watch the face divine, From which, so fair and beautiful, Bright rays of glory shine; And oh, what longings fill my soul, As I behold my Lord! I fall and worship at His feet, My every sin abhorred. 7 And here I pray to be like Him, A holy infant child, All meek and gentle, sweet and good, All pure and undefiled! And so to thee, O Bethlehem, My song of love I sing; All praise to thee, sweet Bethlehem, Thou city of my king! Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM Text Sources: Pilgrim Songs by Henry W.
