Refrain: Hark, the herald angels sing glory to the new-born King. 2 Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, late in time behold him come, offspring of a Virgin's womb! Veiled in flesh the Godhead see: Hail the incarnate Deity, pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel. [Refrain] 3 Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!

I Am His, and He Is Mine

Author: George W. Robinson Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 95 hymnals First Line: Loved with everlasting love Lyrics: 1. Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know; Gracious Spirit from above, Thou hast taught me it is so! O this full and perfect peace! O this transport all divine! In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine. In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine. 2. Heav’n above is softer blue, Earth around is sweeter green! Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen; Birds with gladder songs o’erflow, flowers with deeper beauties shine, Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine. Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine. 3. Things that once were wild alarms cannot now disturb my rest; Closed in everlasting arms, pillowed on the loving breast. O to lie forever here, doubt and care and self resign, While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine. While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine. 4. His forever, only His; who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart! Heav’n and earth may fade and flee, firstborn light in gloom decline; But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine. But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine.

One Named Lazarus

Author: Susan H. Peterson Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: One named Lazarus was sick Lyrics: 1. One named Lazarus was sick; his two sisters feared he’d die. So to Jesus they sent word, hoping He would soon come nigh. But when He received their word, two more days He did abide. He said, This won’t end in death; rather, I’ll be glorified. This is for God’s glory great; through it I’ll be glorified. 2. Now when Jesus finally came, Laz’rus had been dead four days. Martha went to welcome Him, asking why He’d stayed away. She said, Lord, if You’d been here, my dear brother still would live. But I know that even now, all you ask, God will now give. Though he’s dead, yet still I know, all You ask, God will now give. 3. Resurrection and the life— I am both, Jesus did say. He who does believe in Me, he will live beyond the grave. He who lives, believes in Me, he will ne’er to death succumb. Martha said, You are the Christ; You’re the One who was to come. You’re the Christ, the Son of God; You’re the One who was to come. 4. Martha then her sister called; Mary went to meet the Lord. When she reached Him, knelt in tears, seeking comfort from His word. Jesus, deeply moved, did ask, Where have you his body laid? And He wept when He did see, for His love was very great. Jesus wept and shared their grief, for His love was very great. 5. Jesus then approached the tomb. Take away the stone, He said. But, said Martha, there’s a stench, for four days he has been dead. Jesus said, You now will see God’s great glory—just believe. So they took away the stone, and He prayed, May they believe; Father, thank You, You have heard; may they now in Me believe. 6. Jesus then did give command; in a loud voice He did say, Laz’rus, come out of the tomb! And the dead man did obey. Both his hands and feet were bound, and a cloth did hide his face. Take the grave clothes; let him go, Jesus said to those amazed. Said I not, believe and see God’s great glory in this place? 7. Just as Jesus gave new life to a man when he was dead, He can do the same for all who believe what He has said. For we all in sin are dead; resurrection life we need. Jesus died and rose again, that we might from sin be freed. All who put their trust in Him will not die but live indeed.

Shall I not sing praise to Thee

Author: Gerhardt Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #10 (1863) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: Shall I not sing praise to Thee, Shall I not give thanks, O Lord? Since for us in all I see How Thou keepest watch and ward; How the truest, tend'rest love Ever fills Thy heart, my God, Helping, cheering, on their road All who in Thy service move. All things else have but their day, God's love only lasts for aye. As the eagle o'er her nest Spreads her sheltering wings abroad, So from all that would molest Doth Thine arm defend me, Lord; From my youth up e'en till now Of the being Thou did'st give, And the earthly life I live, Faithful Guardian still wert Thou. All things else have but their day, God's love only lasts for aye. When I sleep my Guardian wakes, And revives my wearied mind; Every morning on me breaks With some mark of love most kind; Had my God not stood my Friend, Had His countenance not been Here my guide, I had not seen Many a trial reach its end. All things else have but their day, God's love only lasts for aye. As a father ne'er withdraws From a child his all of love, Though it often break his laws, Though it careless, wilful, prove: Even so my loving Lord Doth my faults with pity see; With His rod He chastens me, Not avenging with His sword. All things else have but their day, God's love only lasts for aye. When His strokes upon me light, Bitterly I feel their smart, Yet are they, if seen aright, Tokens that my Father's heart Yearns to bring me back again Through these crosses to His fold, From the world that fain would hold Soul and body in its chain. All things else have but their day, God's love only lasts for aye. All my life I still have found, And I will forget it never, Every sorrow hath its bound, And no cross endures for ever. After all the winter's snows Comes sweet summer back again; Patient souls ne'er wait in vain, Joy is given for all their woes. All things else have but their day, God's love only lasts for aye. Since then neither change nor end In Thy love can e'er have place, Father! I beseech Thee send Unto me Thy loving grace. Help Thy feeble child, and give Strength to serve Thee day and night, Loving Thee with all my might, While on earth I yet must live; So shall I, when Time is o'er, Praise and love Thee evermore.

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy

1809 - 1847 Person Name: Felix Mendelssohn Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Composer of "MENDELSSOHN" in Timeless Truths Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (b. Hamburg, Germany, 1809; d. Leipzig, Germany, 1847) was the son of banker Abraham Mendelssohn and the grandson of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. His Jewish family became Christian and took the Bartholdy name (name of the estate of Mendelssohn's uncle) when baptized into the Lutheran church. The children all received an excellent musical education. Mendelssohn had his first public performance at the age of nine and by the age of sixteen had written several symphonies. Profoundly influenced by J. S. Bach's music, he conducted a performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 (at age 20!) – the first performance since Bach's death, thus reintroducing Bach to the world. Mendelssohn organized the Domchor in Berlin and founded the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in 1843. Traveling widely, he not only became familiar with various styles of music but also became well known himself in countries other than Germany, especially in England. He left a rich treasury of music: organ and piano works, overtures and incidental music, oratorios (including St. Paul or Elijah and choral works, and symphonies. He harmonized a number of hymn tunes himself, but hymnbook editors also arranged some of his other tunes into hymn tunes. Bert Polman
