While Shepherds Watched

Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #62 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind; "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind. 2 "To you, in David's town, this day Is born, of David's line, The Savior, who is Christ the Lord; And this shall be the sign: The heav'nly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapt in swathing bands, And in a manger laid." 3 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, who thus Addressed their joyful song: "All glory be to God most high, And to the earth be peace; Goodwill henceforth from heav'n to men Begin, and never cease."

It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears (1810-1876) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #70 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold: 'Through all the earth, goodwill and peace from heaven's all-gracious king!' The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing. 2 With sorrow brought by sin and strife the world has suffered long and, since the angels sang, have passed two thousand years of wrong: the nations, still at war, hear not the love-song which they bring: O hush the noise and cease the strife, to hear the angels sing! 3 And those whose journey now is hard, whose hope is burning low, who tread the rocky path of life with painful steps and slow: O listen to the news of love which makes the heavens ring! O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing! 4 And still the days are hastening on — by prophets seen of old — towards the fulness of the time when comes the age foretold: then earth and heaven renewed shall see the prince of peace, their king; and all the world repeat the song which now the angels sing.

It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #70 (2010) Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold: 'Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heaven's all-gracious King!' the world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled; and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world: above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing; and ever o'er its Babel-sounds the blessèd angels sing. 3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long; beneath the angel-strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong; and man, at war with man, hears not the love-song which they bring: O hush the noise, ye men of strife, and hear the angels sing. 4 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow, look, now! For glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing. 5 For lo, the days are hastening on, by prophet-bards foretold, when, with the ever-circling years, comes round the age of gold; when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendours fling, and the whole world give back the song which now the angels sing.

O God, Thy Power is Wonderful

Author: F. W. Faber Hymnal: Gloria Deo #75 (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 O God, Thy power is wonderful, Thy glory passing bright; Thy wisdom, with its deep on deep, A rapture to the sight. I see Thee in th’eternal years In glory all alone, Ere round Thine uncreated fires Created light had shone. 2 I see Thee walk in Eden’s shade, I see Thee all through time; Thy patience and compassion seem New attributes sublime. I see Thee when the doom is o’er, And outworn time is done, Still, still incomprehensible, O God, yet not alone. 3 Angelic spirits, countless souls, Of Thee have drunk their fill; And to eternity will drink Thy joy and glory still. O little heart of mine! shall pain Or sorrow make thee moan, When all this God is all for thee, A Father all thine own? Topics: God Power of Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL
