In the Lonely Midnight
Author: Theodore Chickering Williams, 1855-1915 Meter: 6.5.5.6.5 D Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Christmas Lyrics: 1 In the lonely midnight
on the wintry hill,
shepherds heard the angels
singing, "Peace, good will."
Listen, O ye weary,
to the angels’ song,
unto to you the tidings
of great joy belong.
2 Though in David’s city
angels sing no more,
love makes angel music
on earth’s darkest shore.
Though no heavenly glory
meet your wondering eyes,
love can make your dwelling
bright as paradise.
3 Though the child of Mary,
heralded on high,
in his manger cradle
may no longer lie,
love will reign forever,
though the proud world scorn;
if you truly seek peace,
Christ for you is born. Used With Tune: ADORO TE DEVOTE

speak yet to us in love;
your far-off vision, toil, and tears
to their fulfillment move.

they come of every name;
this, this our day of Pentecost,
on us the tongues of flame.
3 One Life together we confess,
one all-in-dwelling Word,
one holy Call to righteousness
within the silence heard:
4 One Law that guides the shining spheres
as on through space they roll,
and speaks in flaming characters
on Sinais of the soul:
5 One Love, unfathomed, measureless,
an ever-flowing sea,
that holds within its vast embrace
time and eternity. Used With Tune: BANGOR

seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardor glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let its glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 And so the glory strong,
for which the soul will long,
shall far out-pass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till we become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY
Come Down, O Love Divine
