O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 846 hymnals 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 wond'ring 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 giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav'n. 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!

Robinson Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 92 hymnals First Line: Loved with everlasting love Lyrics: 1 Loved with everlasting love, Led by grace that love to know; Gracious Spirit from above, Thou hast taught me it is so! Oh, this full and perfect peace! Oh, this transport all divine! In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine. In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine. 2 Heav'n above is softer blue, Earth around is sweeter green! Something lives in ev'ry hue Christ-less eyes have never seen: Birds with gladder songs o'erflow, Flowers with deeper beauties shine, Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine. Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine. 3 Things that once were wild alarms Cannot now disturb my rest; Closed in everlasting arms, Pillowed on the loving breast. Oh, to lie forever here, Doubt and care and self resign While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine. While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine. 4 His forever, only His; Who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart! Heav'n and earth may fade and flee, Firstborn light in gloom decline; But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine. But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine.

I Saw the Cross of Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I saw the cross of Jesus, When burdened with my sin; I sought the cross of Jesus, To give me peace within; I brought my soul to Jesus, He cleansed it in His blood; And in the cross of Jesus I found my peace with God. 2 I love the cross of Jesus, It tells me what I am-- A vile and guilty creature, Saved only through the Lamb; No righteousness nor merit, No beauty can I plead; Yet in the cross I glory, My title there I read. 3 I trust the cross of Jesus, In every trying hour, My sure and certain refuge, My never-failing tower; In every fear and conflict, I more than conqueror am; Living, I'm safe, or dying, Thro' Christ, the risen Lamb. 4 Safe in the cross of Jesus! There let my weary heart Still rest in peace unshaken, Till with Him, ne'er to part; And then in strains of glory I'll sing His wondrous power, Where sin can never enter, And death is known no more.
