The Angels' Sweet Refrain

Author: Grant Colfax Tullar Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: As the shepherds watched at midnight Refrain First Line: Angels, sing your sweet refrain Lyrics: 1. As the shepherds watched at midnight On the hills so far away, Suddenly a light shone ’round them, Turning midnight into day. Then each heart was filled with wonder, For they could not understand Why the angel host that gathered Brought to them such music grand. Refrain Angels, sing your sweet refrain— Glory in the highest, glory! Tell the waiting earth your story Of the Christ who came to reign. Sing—sing that sweet song again, Earth and sky repeat the story— Glory in the highest, glory! On earth peace, good will to men. 2. All the earth was clothed with beauty When there came that angel throng, Every heart was filled with gladness As they listened to the song; Never had they heard such music, Or beheld such wondrous light, Filling all the earth with glory, As the angel brought that night. [Refrain] 3. Though we could not hear the angels Singing forth their glad refrain; We can celebrate His birthday As it comes to us again. We can, like the shepherds, worship, Lay our lives at Jesus’ feet; With our hearts we can adore Him And the angels’ song repeat. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [As the shepherds watched at midnight] Text Sources: Sunday School Hymns No. 1 (New York: Tullar-Meredith Company, 1903), number 258

The Precious Friend

Author: Eliza Edmunds Hewitt Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: There's an eye that watches o'er me Refrain First Line: Jesus is the precious friend Lyrics: 1. There’s an eye that watches o’er me, Everywhere I’m called to go; There’s a light that shines before me, Brighter still the way will grow; There’s a tender hand to guide me, Thro’ the sunlight and the shade; There’s a friend who walks beside me, Ready to defend and aid. Refrain Jesus is the precious friend, Brightening life’s changeful story; To His name be all the glory, He will guide me and defend; Joy, joy, happy songs ascend; He will comfort me in sadness, Fill my heart with peace and gladness, Jesus is my precious friend. 2. O, to love this friend more dearly, Yielding all my life to Him! O, to trust Him more sincerely, Whether skies be bright or dim; Let my daily service praise Him, Let my voice hosannas swell; Grateful carols I would raise Him, Jesus doeth all things well. [Refrain] 3. Never will this friend forsake me, I would in His love confide, Then whatever ills o’ertake me, Peace shall in my soul abide; O, how great is His salvation, O, what mercy He’ll extend! He my hope and expectation, He, my everlasting friend. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [There's an eye that watches o'er me] Text Sources: Sunday School Hymns No. 1 (New York: Tullar-Meredith Company, 1903), number 168
