Slowly Fall the Snowflakes
Author: F. G. Lee Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 First Line: Slowly fall the snowflakes, clothing earth in white Lyrics: 1. Slowly fall the snowflakes, clothing earth in white,
Sweetly bells are chiming, on this Christmas night;
Dark the earth aforetime, white on Christmas morn;
Christ the curse reversing—Mary’s Son is born.
2. Slowly fall the snowflakes, virgin-white the sod,
In the chill descending, like the grace of God;
Wild the varied chimings, one tale only tell—
Lies in Bethlehem’s manger great Emmanuel.
3. Slowly fall the snowflakes, hang the holly high,
Bright its berries greeting God Incarnate nigh;
Dark the earth no longer, barren nevermore,
Grace-flowers spring to blossom on th’eternal shore. Used With Tune: BORROW Text Sources: Carols Old and Carols New, by Charles L. Hutchins (Boston, Massachusetts: Parish Choir, 1916), number 10

In The Early Morning
Author: John Brownlie; Anonymous Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: In the early morning, ere the darkness clears Lyrics: 1 In the early morning, ere the darkness clears,
Lo, a star most radiant, high in heaven appears;
And their eyes behold it, glowing like a gem,
As the sages journey forth to Bethlehem.
2 In the early morning, while the shepherds gaze,
Lo, through clouds asunder, heaven is all ablaze;
Brighter than the sunrise from the eastern hills,
And the song of angels all creation fills.
3 In the early morning, when the silence hung,
’Mid the dazzling splendor, were the praises sung:
"Glory in the highest to the God of Heaven,
Peace on earth abounding unto men be given."
4 Now the sages, guided to the lowly place,
Lying in a manger find the Lord of grace;
And they fall before Him as before a king,
And their costly offerings with devotion bring.
5 Lord of life eternal, who didst come for men;
At the time appointed thou wilt come again;
Not a babe in meekness, born of humble birth;
But the King immortal, judge of all the earth.
6 Glory in the highest, be ascribed to God;
Ceaseless hallelujahs fill the earth abroad;
Glory to Immanuel, all creation sing,
Who to Heaven hath raised us by His offering. Used With Tune: BORROW Text Sources: Tr.: Hymns of the Early Church (London: Morgan & Scott, 1913)
