When, marshaled on the nightly plain
Author: Kirke White Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #159 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ Incarnation; The Star of Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 When, marshaled on the nightly plain,
The glittering hosts bestud the sky,
One star alone, of all the train,
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye.
2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks,
From every host, from every gem;
But one alone the Saviour speaks,--
It is the Star of Bethlehem.
3 Once on the raging seas I rode,
The storm was loud, the night was dark--
The ocean yawned--and rudely blowed
The wind, that tossed my foundering bark.
4 Deep horror then my vitals froze,
Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem;--
When suddenly a star arose,--
It was the Star of Bethlehem.
5 It was my guide, my light, my all;
It bad my dark forebodings cease;
And, through the storm, and danger's thrall,
It led me to the port of peace.
6 Now safely moored, my perils o'er,
I'll sing, first in night's diadem,
Forever and for evermore,
The Star--the Star of Bethlehem!
Scripture: Numbers 24:17
When, marshaled on the nightly plain
When Jordan hushed his waters still
Author: Campbell Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #160 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ Incarnation; The Song of the Heavenly Host Lyrics: 1 When Jordan hushed his waters still,
And silence slept on Zion's hill,
When Bethlehem's shepherds, through the night,
Watched o'er the flocks by starry light,--
2 Hark! from the midnight hills around,
A voice of more than mortal sound,
In distance hallelujahs stole,
Wild murmuring o'er the raptured soul.
3 On wheels of light, on wings of flame,
The glorious hosts of Zion came;
High heaven with songs of triumph rung,
While thus they struck their harps and sung:
4 O Zion, lift thy raptured eye;
The long-expected hour is nigh;
The joys of nature rise again;
The Prince of Salem comes to reign.
When Jordan hushed his waters still
The God of the Gentiles
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #172a (1740) Topics: Christ First and second Coming, or his Incarnation, Kingdom and Judgment; Conversion of Jews and Gentiles; Gentiles owning the true God; God his power and majesty; Incarnation First Line: Let all the Earth their Voices raise Lyrics: 1 Let all the Earth their Voices raise
To sing the choicest Psalm of Praise,
To sing and bless Jehovah's Name:
His Glory let the Heathens know,
His Wonders to the Nations show,
And all his saving Works proclaim.
2 The Heathens know thy Glory, Lord;
The wond'ring Nations read thy Word;
In Britain is Jehovah known:
Our Worship shall no more be paid
To Gods, which mortal Hands have made;
Our Maker is our GOD alone.
3 He fram'd the Globe, he built the sky,
He made the shining Worlds on high,
And reigns complete in Glory there:
His Beams are Majesty and Light;
His Beauties, how divinely bright;
His Temple, how divinely fair!
4 Come, the great Day, the glorious Hour,
When Earth shall feel his saving Pow'r,
And barb'rous Nations fear his Name;
Then shall the Race of Men confess
The Beauty of his Holiness,
And in his Courts his Grace proclaim.

Thou didst leave thy throne
Author: Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott, 1836-1897 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #204 (1997) Meter: Irregular Topics: Church Year Lent; Cross; Eternal Life; Jesus Christ Incarnation; Profession of Faith First Line: Thou didst leave thy throne and thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave thy throne
and thy kingly crown
when thou camest to earth for me,
but in Bethlehem's home
was there found no room
for thy holy nativity:
oh come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
there is room in my heart for thee.
2 Even foxes found rest,
and the birds had their nest
in the shade of the forest tree,
but thy couch was the sod,
O thou Son of God,
in the deserts of Galilee.
oh come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
there is room in my heart for thee.
3 When thou camest, O Lord,
with the living word,
'twas to set all thy people free,
but with mocking scorn
and with crown of thorn,
then we bore thee to Calvary:
oh come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
there is room in my heart for thee.
4 Heav'ns arches shall ring
and its choirs shall sing
at thy coming to victory;
let thy voice call me home,
saying "Yet there is room,
there is room at my side for thee!"
oh come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
there is room in my heart for thee. Scripture: Revelation 3:20 Languages: English Tune Title: MARGARET

Joyful Is the Dark

rolling cloud of night beyond all naming:
Majesty in darkness, Energy of love,
Word-in-flesh, the mystery proclaiming.
2 Joyful is the dark, Spirit of the deep,
winging wildly o'er the world's creation,
silken sheen of midnight, plumage black and bright,
swooping with the beauty of a raven.
3 Joyful is the dark, shadowed stable floor;
angels flicker, God on earth confessing,
as with exultation, Mary, giving birth,
hails the infant cry of need and blessing.
4 Joyful is the dark coolness of the tomb,
waiting for the wonder of the morning;
never was that midnight touched by dread and gloom:
darkness was the cradle of the dawning.
5 Joyful is the dark, depth of love divine,
roaring, looming thundercloud of glory;
holy, haunting beauty, living, loving God.
Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story!
Joyful is the dark,
joyful is the dark,
joyful is the dark. Languages: English Tune Title: CEDARS
