through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

to guide the future, as in ages past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
the Christ who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

On Jordan's Banks the Baptist's Cry
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Appears in 230 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh;
awake and harken, for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings!

make straight the way for God within,
and let us all our hearts prepare
for Christ to come and enter there.

our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away
like flow'rs that wither and decay.

and make us rise to fall no more;
O let your face upon us shine
and fill the world with love divine.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie Appears in 172 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand,
ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descended,
our full homage to command.

as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture
in the body and the blood -
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heav'nly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descending
from the realms of endless day;
that the powers of hell may vanquish
as the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph;
cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry:
alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord Most High! Topics: Advent; Christian year--Advent; Christian year--Advent; Holy Communion Scripture: Isaiah 6:2-3 Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: From the Liturgy of St. James

Jesus, Jesus, holy, holy, yet most lowly,
now draw near us;
great Emmanuel, kindly hear us.
2 Though circled by the hosts on high,
he deigned to cast a loving eye
upon his helpless creature;
the whole creation’s Head and Lord,
by highest seraphim adored,
assumed our very nature.
Jesus, grant us through your merit, to inherit
your salvation;
hear, O hear our supplication.
3 Rejoice, O heav'ns, and earth reply;
with praise, you sinners, fill the sky
for this, his incarnation.
Incarnate God, put forth your pow'r;
ride on, ride on, great Conqueror,
till all know your salvation.

evermore by earth and heaven. Topics: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas Scripture: Job 38:7 Used With Tune: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET DER MORGENSTERN (NICOLAI)

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 841 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie;
above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
2 For Christ is born of Mary,
and gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wond'ring love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth;
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.
3 How silently, how silently
the wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heav'n.
No ear may hear his coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him still,
the dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
descend to us, we pray;
cast out our sin and enter in,
be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel. Topics: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas Scripture: Isaiah 7:14 Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS
