Like silver lamps in a distant shrine

Author: W. C. Dix Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #658 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Carols Lyrics: 1 Like silver lamps in a distant shrine, The stars are sparkling bright; The bells of the city of God ring out, For the Son of Mary is born tonight. The gloom is past, And the morn at last Is coming with orient light. 2 No earthly songs are half so sweet As those which are filling the skies, And never a palace shone half so fair As the manger bed where our Saviour lies; No night in the year Is half so dear As this which has ended our sighs. 3 The stars of heaven still shine as at first They gleamed on this wonderful night, The bells of the city of God peal out, And the angels' song still rings in the height, And love still turns Where the God-head burns, Hid in flesh from fleshly sight. 4 Faith sees no longer the stable floor, The pavement of sapphire is there, The clear light of heaven streams out to the world, And the angels of God are crowding the air. And heaven and earth, Thro' the spotless birth, Are at peace on this night so fair. Languages: English Tune Title: [Like silver lamps in a distant shrine]

Christ, the royal Master, Leads against the Foe; Forward into battle See His banners go! Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 2 Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading Where the saints have trod. We are not divided, All one body we, One in hope and doctrine, One in charity. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 3 Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain. Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, And that cannot fail. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 4 Onward, then, ye faithful, Join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices In the triumph song: Glory, laud, and honor Unto Christ, the King; This thro' countless ages Men and angels sing. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 16:18 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GERTRUDE

Nowell, Nowell

Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #660 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Carols First Line: The first Nowell the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Refrain: Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. 2 They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East, beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.

[Refrain] 4 This star drew nigh to the north-west, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain] 5 Then entered in those wise men three Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there in His presence, Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [Refrain] 6 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord; That hath made heaven and earth of nought, And with His Blood mankind hath bought.

Cradled all lowly,

Author: H. B. Farnie Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #663 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Carols Lyrics: 1 Cradled all lowly, Behold the Saviour Child! A Being holy, In dwelling rude and wild; Ne'er yet was regal state Of monarch proud and great, Who grasped a nation's fate, So glorious as the manger bed of Bethlehem. 2 No longer sorrow As without hope, O earth! A brighter morrow Dawned with that Infant's Birth. Our sins were great and sore, But these the Saviour bore, And God was wroth no more; His own Son was the Child that lay in Bethlehem. 3 Babe weak and wailing, In lowly village stall, Thy glory veiling, Thou cam'st to die for all. The sacrifice is done, The world's atonement won, Till time its course hath run, O Jesus, Saviour, Morning Star of Bethlehem. Languages: English Tune Title: [Cradled all lowly]

Saw you never, in the twilight

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #665 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Carols Lyrics: 1 Saw you never, in the twilight, When the sun had left the skies, Up in heaven the clear stars shining Thro' the gloom, like silver eyes? So of old the wise men, watching, Saw a little stranger star, And they knew the King was given, And they followed it from far. 2 Heard you never of the story How they crossed the desert wild, Journeyed on by plain and mountain, Till they found the holy Child? How they opened all their treasure, Kneeling to that infant King; Gave the gold and fragrant incense, Gave the myrrh in offering? 3 Know ye not that lowly baby Was the bright and morning Star? He who came to light the Gentiles, And the darkened isles afar? And we, too, may seek His cradle; There our hearts, best treasures bring; Love, and faith, and true devotion For our Saviour, God, and King. Languages: English Tune Title: [Saw you never, in the twilight]

Hark! a burst of heavenly music

Author: M. N. Meigs Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #666 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Carols Lyrics: 1 Hark! a burst of heavenly music From a band of seraphs bright, Suddenly to earth descending, In the calm and silent night. To the shepherds of Judea, Watching in the earliest dawn, So they bear the joyful tidings, "Jesus, Prince of Peace is born." Refrain: Sweet and clear those angel voices Echoing through the wintry sky, As they chant the heavenly music, "Glory be to God on high." 2 Slumb'ring in a lowly manger Lies the mighty Lord of all, And before the holy Stranger See the trembling shepherds fall. He has come, the long-expected, Full of Wisdom, love, and grace, To redeem His ruined creatures, To restore our fallen race. Refrain: So let angels wake the chorus, So let ransomed men reply, Chanting the celestial anthem, "Glory be to God on high." 3 And this joyful Christmas morning, Breaking o'er the world below, Tells again the wondrous story Shepherds heard so long ago. Who shall still our tuneful voices, Who the tide of praise shall stem, Which the blessed angels taught us In the fields of Bethlehem. Refrain: Hark! we hear again the chorus Ringing through the starry sky, And we join the heavenly anthem, "Glory be to God on high." Languages: English Tune Title: [Hark! a burst of heavenly music]
