It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears (1810-1876) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #141 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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, to all good will from heaven's all-gracious king!" The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world; above its sad and lowly plains bend on hovering wing, and ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. 3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long; beneath the angel-strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong; and we amid our wars hear not the words of peace they bring; O listen now, and still your strife to hear the angels sing. 4 And you, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow; look now, for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing. 5 For lo, the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old, when with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold: when the new heaven and earth shall own the Prince of Peace their King, and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.

Shine forth, and let the darkling past Beneath Thy beam grow bright, Shine forth, and touch the future vast With Thine untroubled light. 3 Light up Thy Word; the fettered page From killing bondage free. Light up our way; lead forth this age In love's large liberty. O Light of light! within us dwell, Through us Thy radiance pour, That word and life Thy truths may tell, And praise Thee evermore. Amen.

From Noon of Joy to Night of Doubt

Author: John Campbell Shairp Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #160 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 From noon of joy to night of doubt our feelings come and go; our best estate is toss'd about in ceaseless ebb and flow; no mood of feeling, form of thought, is constant for a day, but thou, O Lord, thou changest not; the same thou art alway. 2 I grasp thy strength, make it my own, my heart with peace is bless'd; I lose my hold, and then comes down darkness and cold unrest. Let me no more my comfort draw from my frail grasp of thee; in this alone rejoice with awe, thy mighty grasp of me. 3 Thy purpose of eternal good let me but surely know; on this I'll lean, let changing mood and feeling come and go; glad when thy sunshine fills my soul, not sad when clouds o'ercast, since thou within thy sure control of love dost hold me fast.

Bethlehem Song

Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: Laudes Domini #183 (1888) First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground; The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. "Fear not," said he,--for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind,-- "Glad tidings of great joy I bring, To you and all mankind. 2 "To you, in David's town this day, Is born of David's line, The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord, And this shall be the sign;-- The heavenly babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid." 3 Thus spake the seraph--and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, who thus Addressed their joyful song:-- "All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth from heaven to men Begin, and never cease!"
