O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #109 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: Recessionals Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth! 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel! Amen. Scripture: Micah 5:2 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

Lift Up Your Eyes, Ye Christians

Author: C. K.

Arise, go forth to gather The fruit without delay! The ripened fields are waiting; This is your harvest day. 2 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, The whole wide world to view: How plenteous the harvest, The laborers how few! How can you then be idle And linger by the way? Arise and join the reapers! This is your harvest day. 3 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, And heed the Lord's command; Go, labor in His vineyard, And lend a helping hand! Like sheep without a shepherd So many go astray, Neglected they must perish; This is your harvest day. 4 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, The harvest day is brief; O hear the cry of millions For rescue and relief! Let sacrifice and service Your life on earth portray; Help win the world for Jesus; This is your harvest day! 5 Lift up your eyes, ye Christians, Soon comes the gracious Lord; He comes to claim the faithful And give them His reward. Be faithful in your service And labor as you pray; For lo, the night is coming; This is your harvest day! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WEBB (GOODWIN)

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free, to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2 He brings salvation speedy to those who suffer wrong; he saves the poor and needy, and helps the weak be strong; they sing who once were sighing, their darkness turned to light, for they, who once were dying, are precious in his sight. 3 He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth, and love, joy, hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth. Before Him on the mountains shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness, in fountains, from hill to valley flow. 4 All powers shall bow before him, and gold and incense bring; all nations shall adore him, his praise all people sing, for he shall have dominion o'er river, sea and shore, far as the eagle's pinion or dove's light wing can soar. 5 O'er every foe victorious, Christ on his throne shall rest, from age to age more glorious, all-blessing and all-blest: the tide of time shall never his covenant remove; his name shall stand forever- that name to us is Love.

Fellow Christians, Let Us Gather

Author: C. K. Solberg Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #116 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Missions Lyrics: 1 Fellow Christians, let us gather Round the banner of the cross. We must win the unchurched millions, Lest they suffer endless loss. Multitudes are daily drifting Into ways of sin and shame; Christ Himself calls ev'ry Christian Straying sinners to reclaim. 2 We must hear and heed the challenge And the urgent call obey, Coming from our teeming cities, To regain without delay Wayward brethren, errant sisters, Groping in the night of sin; Jesus bids us go and seek them And compel them to come in. 3 As we view the unsaved masses, Who like sheep have gone astray, We must meet them with compassion Lest they perish by the way. In the heart of crowded cities Where the pow'rs of evil reign, We must carry on our mission Unsaved sinners to regain. 4 Let us not, like priest and Levite, Coldly pass the wretched by; What we preach, that let us practice, Lest our lives our lips deny; Let us be our brother's keeper, Prove our faith by works of love; Saved to serve, be this our watchword, Till we join the hosts above. 5 We beseech Thee, blessed Savior, Ev'ry Christian's heart control With an ever present passion For the unconverted soul. O baptize with Thy good Spirit Ev'ry member of Thy fold! Bless the labors of Thy servants As on Pentecost of old! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BEECHER
