While shepherds watched their flocks
Author: Nahum Tate Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,102 hymnals First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around.
2 "Fear not," said he for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind
"glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and all mankind.
3 "To you, in David's town, this day
is born of David's line
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:
4 "The heavenly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all simply wrapped in swaddling clothes
and in a manger laid."
5 Thus spoke the angel. Suddenly
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
to those on whom his favor rests
goodwill shall never cease."

Too Many, Lord, Abuse Thy Grace
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Too many, Lord, abuse Thy grace,
In this licentious day;
And while they boast they see Thy face,
They turn their own away.
2. Thy Book displays a gracious light
That can the blind restore;
But these are dazzled by the sight,
And blinded still the more.
3. The pardon, such presume upon,
They do not beg, but steal;
And when they plead it at Thy throne,
Oh! where’s the Spirit’s seal?
4. Was it for this, ye lawless tribe,
The dear Redeemer bled?
Is this the grace the saints imbibe
From Christ the living Head?
5. Ah, Lord, we know Thy chosen few
Are fed with heavenly fare;
But these, the wretched husks they chew
Proclaim them what they are.
6. The liberty our hearts implore
Is not to live in sin;
But still to wait at wisdom’s door,
Till mercy calls us in. Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)

I come with joy to meet my Lord
Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 73 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I come with joy to meet my Lord,
forgiven, loved, and free,
in awe and wonder to recall
his life laid down for me.
2. I come with Christians far and near
to find, as all are fed,
the new community of love
in Christ's communion bread.
3. As Christ breaks bread and bids us share,
each proud division ends.
The love that made us makes us one,
and strangers now are friends.
4. And thus with joy we meet our Lord.
His presence, always near,
is in such friendship better known:
we see and praise him here.
5. Together met, together bound,
we'll go our different ways
and as his people in the world
we'll live and speak his praise.

Lord, who throughout these forty days
Author: Claudia Frances Hernaman, 1838-1898 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, who throughout these forty days
for us didst fast and pray,
teach us with thee to mourn our sins,
and close by thee to stay.
2. As thou with Satan didst contend
and didst the victory win,
O give us strength in thee to fight,
in thee to conquer sin.
3. As thou didst hunger bear and thirst,
so teach us, gracious Lord,
to die to self, and chiefly live
by thy most holy word.
4. And through these days of penitence,
and through thy Passiontide,
yea, evermore, in life and death,
Jesus! with us abide.
5. Abide with us, that so, this life
of suffering overpast,
an Easter of unending joy
we may attain at last!

you will receive my soul.

my God eternally.

How Vast Is God's Unfailing Love
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: How vast is God's unfailing love
to those by grace forgiven!
It reaches to the skies above
and scales the heights of heaven.
What loving-kindliness is ours,
what steadfast love is this!
For mountain-high his wisdom towers
and deep as the abyss.
And bird and beast and humankind,
with all created things,
beneath his hand their shelter find,
the shadow of his wings.
His children, precious in his sight,
receive what love imparts,
to drink from rivers of delight,
to feast with joyful hearts.
From him alone the fountains flow
of life and health and peace;
so may we still salvation know,
and light and love increase.
O God of glory, known of old,
draw near in love divine,
that in your light we may behold
the light eternal shine!
