Floating o'er Judea's plains
Author: Dr. A. D. Watson, 1859- Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Bethlehem Star of; Star Of Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 Floating o'er Judea's plains,
And down the echoing height,
Hark, the love-evangel strains
Are blending with the night,
Angel voices from the sky
With music fill each vale and glen:
"Glory be to God on high,
On earth, good will to men."
2 Still is heard the shepherd's quest
That rose to Bethlehem's walls,
Burdened with a great unrest,
The world for Christ still calls,
From the vales and hills He trod,
Still rings the song that ne'er shall cease:
"Glory, glory be to God,
To men, good will and peace."
3 Evermore that wondrous strain
The door of hope unbars,
Whether in the cloistered fane
Or 'neath the Syrian stars,
Sing the joy-notes once again,
And let them echo to the sky:
"Peace on earth, good will to men,
Glory to God on high."
4 Angel harps, our souls inspire
With grace to conquer wrong,
Fill us with a deep desire
To live the angel song,
Till the life of love be found
In every land beneath the sky,
Till the whole wide world resound:
"Glory to God on high."

How Far It Was to Bethlehem
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Christmas Journey to Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 How far it was to Bethlehem
for Mary, great with child,
and Joseph, trusted with the one
upon whom God had smiled!
From Nazareth to Jericho,
then up a long, steep road,
they journeyed on to David’s town
with their most precious load.
2 They could not find a place to stay
save in a stable stall,
and there amid the animals
was born the Lord of all.
The heavens burst with angel-song
to shepherds on the hill:
“The Christ is born and peace will come
to people of good will.”
3 The shepherds hurried off to find
this new-born baby boy.
“The Promised One is here, at last!
Our hearts are filled with joy!”
They knelt before his manger bed,
and gazed upon the face
that showed in its sweet countenance
Love’s gift of peace and grace.
4 How far it is to Bethlehem
for us who live today,
who bear the burdens of our doubts
and do not trust Love’s way.
God, as we journey on in life,
let angel-songs ne’er cease,
that, like the shepherds, we may find
in Christ a hope for peace.
