Christmas Bells

Author: Henry W. Longfellow Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Church Militant & Trumphant First Line: I heard the bells on Christmas day Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace of earth, good will to men. 2 I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th'unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. 3 And in despair I bowed my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men." 4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, good will to men." 5 Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, good will to men. Baptist Hymnal, 1991

Christ is made the sure foundation

Appears in 297 hymnals Topics: The Church Church Buildings Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation, Christ the head and cornerstone, Chosen of the Lord, and precious, Binding all the Church in one; Holy Zion's help for ever, And her confidence alone. 2 All that dedicated city, Dearly loved of God on high, In exultant jubilation Pours perpetual melody; God the one in Three adoring In glad hymns eternally. 3 To this temple, where we call Thee, Come, O Lord of hosts today: With Thy tender loving-kindness Hear Thy people as they pray; And Thy fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway. 4 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain, What they gain from Thee for ever With the blessed to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign. 5 Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One; One in might, and One in glory, While unending ages run.

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,363 hymnals Topics: The Church The Communion of Saints Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love: the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. 2 Before the Father's throne we pour our ardent prayers; our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear, and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear. 4 When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives our courage by the way, while each in expectation lives, and longs to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil and pain, and sin, we shall be free; and perfect love and friendship reign through all eternity.
