Bethlehem

Author: Henry W. Frost Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O Bethlehem, sweet Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 O Bethlehem, sweet Bethlehem, To thee my song I sing; To thee I raise my humble lay, Thou city of the King. Above thy courts the angels sang Their brightest seraph song, And, faintly echoing their refrain, I would their praise prolong. 2 I see thy wide and wooded fields, Thy rocky slopes and hills, Thy valleys deep, where waters flow, In sparkling, tuneful rills. Thy balmy air is rich with scent, Of olive and of vine, Thy trees hang low with ripened fruit, Thy vats o’erflow with wine. 3 Thy shepherd boys, like David, lead Their flocks with winsome call, Across thy uplands bright, and through Deep vales where shadows fall. Thy dusky men and ruddy maids Are scattered ’cross the plain— Where Ruth once followed Boaz’s men— And harvest golden grain. 4 Thy mothers hush their babes to rest, With hymns of David’s Lord, Thy sing how in yon cave He came To heav’nly love afford; The scene is fair, and all is joy About thy well kept walls; Yea, sorrows never touch thy gates, Thy hearthstones or thy halls. 5 Beyond is darksome Calvary And sad Gethsemane; But shadows flee, bright Bethlehem, Whene’er they come to thee! Lo, as I gaze, a vision breaks: Behold, I see the Child Lie once again in cave of stone, All pure and undefiled. 6 The virgin mother bends above, To watch the face divine, From which, so fair and beautiful, Bright rays of glory shine; And oh, what longings fill my soul, As I behold my Lord! I fall and worship at His feet, My every sin abhorred. 7 And here I pray to be like Him, A holy infant child, All meek and gentle, sweet and good, All pure and undefiled! And so to thee, O Bethlehem, My song of love I sing; All praise to thee, sweet Bethlehem, Thou city of my king! Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM Text Sources: Pilgrim Songs by Henry W.

Arise, Sad Heart, Arise In Haste

Author: Thomas T. Lynch Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Arise, sad heart, arise in haste, Come forth, but not to weep; Come, end thy sorrow at the grave Where Jesus lay asleep. Astir He was before the sun: The stone was rolled away While darkness yet withheld the dawn— There are two suns today. 2 His servant, day’s familiar lord, Shall shine no more in vain; For He, the everlasting sun, In flaming power shall reign. Rise, feeble heart, come quickly forth, Though weary night was long; Let sorrow now be very glad, And weakness very strong. 3 Forget the shudder and the shout, The noon with terror black, That darkly-finished work of woe— The Worker has come back; Himself His finished work, is here; Come, greet the holy light That flows from sorrow-softened eyes With love eternal bright. 4 Rise, happy heart, arise in haste, And into Eden come; New paradise is planted now, And He, its beauty’s sum; Its tree of life, its light of life, Its stream of life is here; Come, hallow many happy songs With one last happy tear.

There's Joy In Heaven

Author: Silas W. Leonard Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: There’s joy in Heaven, thrilling joy Lyrics: 1 There’s joy in Heaven, thrilling joy, Whene’er a sinner turns; Then with a holy ecstasy, The tallest seraph burns: Through all the shining courts of bliss, The joyful news is borne, And thousand angel voices shout, The wanderer’s return. 2 There’s light, effulgent light in Heav’n It radiates from the throne, And bright reflects from golden streets And walls of precious stone: Ten thousand times ten thousand stars, And suns by scores untold, Could ne’er emit such glorious light, As there the saints behold. 3 There’s rest in Heaven, calm repose, From pain and toil and care: And there the weary shall enjoy A peace beyond compare. A tranquil quiet, calm and deep, A sea without a shore, An ocean vast, of bliss, that shall Endure for evermore. 4 There’s music, heav’nly music, there Ten thousand harps of gold Are tuned and touched by angel hands, To measures sweet and bold: Twelve thousand times twelve thousand souls Of their redemption sing; And louder yet, rank after rank, Redemption’s anthems ring. 5 They sing the wondrous love of God, That saved a sinful race; And thousand thousand angel choirs, Take up the notes of praise: And ransomed souls, a countless host, They echo swelling songs, Of honor, pow’r, and love to Him, To whom all praise belongs.
