It came upon the midnight clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears (1810-76) Appears in 877 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold;
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men,
From Heaven’s all-gracious King!
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
2 But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong.
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring;
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing.
3 For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold,
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendours fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.

It came upon the midnight clear
Joy to the world! the Lord is come
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Appears in 1,867 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King,
Let every heart prepare him room
And Heaven and nature sing.
2 Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy.

And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness
And wonders of his love.

Joy to the world! the Lord is come
Remember me, remember me
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Appears in 2,312 hymnals First Line: Alas! and did my Saviour bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my sovereign die?
Did he devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Refrain:
Remember me, remember me,
O Lord, remember me; Remember,
Lord, thy dying groans,
And then remember me.
2 Was it for sins that I have done
He suffered on the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
And love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty maker, died
For man, the creature’s sin.
4 Dear Saviour, I can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe!
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
‘Tis all that I can do.

Remember me, remember me
Hark, my soul! it is the Lord
Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Appears in 688 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark, my soul! it is the Lord;
‘Tis thy Saviour, hear his word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee:
Say, poor sinner, lov’st thou me?
2 I delivered thee when bound,
And, when bleeding, healed thy wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
Turned thy darkness into light.
3 Can a woman’s tender care
Cease toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be;
Yet will I remember thee.
4 Mine is an unchanging love,
Higher than the heights above,
Deeper than the depths beneath,
Free and faithful, strong as death.
5 Thou shalt see my glory soon,
When the work of grace is done;
Partner of my throne shalt be;
Say, poor sinner, lov’st thou me?
6 Lord, it is my chief complaint
That my love is weak and faint;
Yet I love thee, and adore;
O for grace to love thee more!

Hark, my soul! it is the Lord
I met the good shepherd
Author: Edward Caswall (1814-78) Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I met the good shepherd
Just now on the plain,
As homeward he carried
His lost one again;
I marvelled how gently
His burden he bore,
And as he passed by me
I knelt to adore.
2 O Shepherd, good shepherd,
Thy wounds they are deep;
The wolves have sore hurt thee
In saving thy sheep.
Thy raiment all over
With crimson is dyed;
And what is this wound
They have made in thy side?
3 O Shepherd, good shepherd,
And is it for me
This grievous affliction
Has fallen on thee?
Thy wounds make me love thee,
My heart shall be thine;
With thee I will journey,
My shepherd divine.

I met the good shepherd
It is the blood that washes white
Author: William James Pearson (1832-92) Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It is the blood that washes white,
That makes me pure within,
That keeps the inward witness right,
That cleanses from all sin.
2 It is the blood that sweeps away
The power of Satan’s rod,
That shows the new and living way
That leads to Heaven and God.
3 It is the blood that brings us nigh
To holiness and Heaven,
The source of victory and joy,
God’s life for rebels given.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful love
Author: Emmanuel Rolfe (1853-1914) Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Jesus came down my ransom to be Lyrics: 1 Jesus came down my ransom to be;
O it was wonderful love!
For out of the Father’s heart he came,
To die for me on a cross of shame,
And from sin’s bondage to reclaim;
O it was wonderful love!
Refrain:
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful love,
Coming to me from Heaven above,
Filling me, thrilling me through and through;
O it was wonderful love!
2 Clear to faith’s vision the cross reveals
Beautiful actions of love;
And all that by grace e’en I may be
When saved, to serve him eternally.
He came, he died, for you and me;
O it was wonderful love!
3 His death’s a claim, his love has a plea;
O it is wonderful love!
Ungrateful was I to slight thy call,
But, Lord, now I come, before thee fall,
I give myself, I give up all,
All for thy wonderful love.

In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever
Author: Fanny Crosby (1820-1915) Appears in 686 hymnals First Line: Jesus, keep me near the cross Lyrics: 1 Jesus, keep me near the cross;
There a precious fountain,
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary’s mountain.
Refrain:
In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.
2 Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
Shed its beams around me.
3 Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o’er me.
4 Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river.

In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever
O come and look awhile on him
Author: Frederick William Faber (1814-63) Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O come and look awhile on him,
Whom we have pierced, who for us died;
Together let us look and mourn,
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
2 His willing hands and feet are bound;
His gracious lips with thirst are dried;
His pitying eye is dimmed with woe;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
3 Shall we refuse to hear him speak?
Dare we the sinless one deride?
Surely on him our sins are laid;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
4 His cross of shame is all our hope;
The fountain opened in his side
Shall purge our deepest stains away;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
5 O love of God! O sin of man!
In this dread act your strength is tried;
And victory remains with love,
For he, our Lord, is crucified.
6 A broken and a contrite heart
To none who ask will be denied;
A broken heart love’s dwelling is,
The temple of the crucified.
