Have We Not Known? Have We Not Heard

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Have we not known? Have we not heard how from that throne on high there sprang, at God's creative word, our earth and sea and sky? Beneath his heaven stands displayed this firmly-founded world he made. 2 Our days on earth are in his hand, our thread of life, how frail! Before his greatness none can stand, no mortal strength prevail. All human pride and power must fall: his kingdom stands and orders all. 3 The starry host he holds in place and they his power proclaim; beyond the darkest depths of space he knows them all by name. No hand but his could set them there, no mind in majesty compare. 4 Have we not heard? Have we not known how God shall still sustain the heart that looks to him alone and his eternal reign? where borne aloft on eagles' wings we share the song creation sings.

Angels Unawares

Author: Clara H. Thwaites Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: They come to us in simple guise Lyrics: 1 They come to us in simple guise, In common garb. In sooth They are not lovely in our eyes, Though fair in love and truth. We greet them coldly; after years We call them "Angels Unawares." 2 There is no halo round their brow, As pictured saint may bear; Nay, rather, sorrow marks them now With stain of grief or tear. And smiling satire scarcely spares These mournful "Angels Unawares." 3 They have no eloquence of speech For us, with fluent flow; And yet their lovely lives might reach The heights which angels know. We scarcely note the beauty theirs, Till lost—these "Angels Unawares." 4 Or some we scorn! How strange it is That looks should vex us thus! That we should spurn, because we miss Some manner dear to us! When Memory sings her tender airs She calls them "Angels Unawares." 5 We deem ’twere easier far of old Some sandaled saint to greet, On tented plain, when skies were gold, And orient airs were sweet. Saints meet us now ’mid thronging cares Pass on—are "Angels Unawares." 6 Sweet songs they sing, brave words they say, Unheeded though they be, Until, the singer caught away, We learn their mystery: Then, singing up the golden stairs, They beckon—"Angels Unawares." 7 O would we pause, with Christ-like grace, To aid our fellow-men, Be not too busy in life’s race To love as brethren: Across life’s waste would blow soft airs, While angels walk, not "Unawares."

The Christmas Chimes

Author: John C. Middleton Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The Christmas chimes are ringing in Lyrics: 1 The Christmas chimes are ringing in The day when Christ was born; And children’s voices, sweetly tuned, Welcome the blessèd morn With that first Christmas song again, "Glory to God, good will to men." 2 Judea’s hills, with glory crowned, Beheld the Prince of Peace; While angels of His advent sang In songs that ne’er shall cease; Each year resounds the chorus still, "Glory to God, good will to men." 3 Now wrapped in swathing bands behold The infant Savior lie; The wondering Mary at His side— Th’adoring shepherds by— And angels o’er them, singing still, "Glory to God, good will to men." 4 None others raise the joyful song From Jew or Gentile tongue! But now from eastern shore to west That Christmas song is sung, Which first swelled out o’er Judah’s plain, "Glory to God, good will to men." 5 The Church on earth and Church in Heav’n Today are truly one— There ransomed children’s voices rise In praises round the throne; And here we join the glad refrain "Glory to God, good will to men." 6 "Glory to God in sweetest songs!" Let children’s voices raise Th’angelic chorus, till the earth Be all enwrapped with praise, And every heart this anthem thrill, "Glory to God, good will to men." Used With Tune: MISQUAMICUT
