A Song Was Heard at Christmas
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A song was heard at Christmas
To wake the midnight sky:
A Savior's birth, and peace on earth,
And praise to God on high.
The angels sang at Christmas
With all the hosts above,
And still we sing the newborn King,
His glory and His love.
2 A star was seen at Christmas,
A herald and a sign,
That all might know the way to go
To find the child divine.
The wise men watched at Christmas
In some far eastern land,
And still the wise in starry skies
Discern their Maker's hand.
3 A tree was grown at Christmas,
A sapling green and young;
No tinsel bright with candlelight
Upon its branches hung.
But He who came at Christmas
Our sins and sorrow bore,
And still we name His tree of shame
Our life for evermore.
4 A child was born at Christmas
When Christmas first began;
The Lord of all a baby small,
The Son of God made man.
For love is ours at Christmas,
And life and light restored,
And so we praise through endless days
The Savior, Christ the Lord.

This Land of Bursting Sunrise

all lavender and blue,
its cloud-strewn, light-swept day skies flow,
and every day renew.
To east the glow of dawning,
to west the blaze of night,
‘round all the long horizon’s rim,
the everlasting light!
2 This land of open vistas,
life rooted deep and free,
thy canyoned plains, thy mountains vast,
plumb earth’s immensity.
Here in life’s fragile balance,
the sun and stars above,
find hand in hand, and heart to heart,
the everlasting love. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The World of Nature; Earth; Love; Morning Used With Tune: ANDUJAR
