and in a manger laid."

of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:

and on earth be peace;
good will to all from highest heaven
begin and never cease." Used With Tune: WINCHESTER OLD

On Judah's plains as shepherds sat
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: The Angel's message to the shepherds at Christ's nativity Lyrics: 1 On Judah’s plains as shepherds sat,
Watching their flocks by night,
The angel of the Lord appear'd,
Clad in celestial light.

Appall'd with trembling fear;
When thus a cherub-voice divine
Breath'd sweetly on their ear.
3 “Shepherds of Judah! cease your fears,
And calm your troubled mind;
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
4 This day almighty love fulfils
Its great eternal word;
This day is born in Bethlehem
A Saviour, Christ the Lord.
5 There shall you find the heav'nly babe
In humblest weeds array'd;
All meanly wrapp'd in swaddling clothes,
And in a manger laid."
6 He ceas'd, and sudden all around
Appear'd a radiant throng
Of angels, praising God, and thus
Warbling their choral song:
7 "Glory to God, from whom on high
All-gracious mercies flow!
Who sends his heav’n-descended peace
To dwell with man below."

I'll praise you as I ought.
Till then I would your love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of your name
refresh my soul in death.

1 O Sacred Head, surrounded
By crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding Head, so wounded,
Reviled and put to scorn!
The pow'r of death comes o'er you,
The glow of life decays,
Yet angel hosts adore you
And tremble as they gaze.

All fading in the strife,
And death with cruel rigor,
Bereaving you of life;
O agony and dying!
O love to sinners free!
Jesus, all grace supplying,
O turn your face on me.

Good Shepherd, think of me
With your most sweet compassion,
Unworthy though I be:
Beneath your cross abiding
For ever would I rest,
In your dear love confiding,
And with your presence blest.

Imagen del dolor,
Que sufres resignado

2 Cubrió tu noble frente
La palidez mortal,
Cual velo transparente
De tu sufrir, señal.
Cerróse aquella boca,
La lengua enmudeció,
La fría muerte toca
Al que la vida dio.

Lo que yo merecí;
La culpa que has cargado,
Cargarla yo debí.
Mas mírame, confío
En tu cruz y pasión.
Otórgame, Dios mío,
La gracia del perdón.

Their trophies at Thy feet.
3 Send forth Thy word, and let it fly
The spacious earth around,
Till every soul beneath the sky
Shall hear the joyful sound.
4 O may the great Redeemer's name
Through very clime be known!
And heathen gods, forsaken, fall,
And Jesus reign alone.
5 From sea to sea, from shore to shore,
Be Thou, O Christ, adored!
And earth, with all her millions, shout,
Hosannas to the Lord.

Am I a Soldier of the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,949 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Shepherd and Lamb Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A foll'wer of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause
Or blush to speak His name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize
And sailed through bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight if I would reign:
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

Gracious Savior, Gentle Shepherd
Author: Jane E. Leeson; John Keble Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 150 hymnals Topics: Christ As Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Gracious Savior, gentle Shepherd,
our little ones are dear to thee;
gathered with thine arms and carried
in thy bosom may they be
sweetly, gently, safely tended,
from all want and danger free.
2 Tender Shepherd, never leave them,
from thy fold to go astray;
by thy look of love directed,
may they walk the narrow way;
thus direct them and protect them,
lest they fall an easy prey.
3 Let thy holy Word instruct them:
fill their minds with heav'nly light;
let thy love and grace constrain them
to approve whate'er is right,
take thine easy yoke and wear it,
and to prove thy burden light.
4 Cleanse their hearts from sinful folly
in the stream thy love supplied,
mingled streams of blood and water
flowing from thy wounded side;
and to heav'nly pastures lead them,
where thine own still waters glide. Scripture: Psalm 23:1-2 Used With Tune: DISMISSAL
