  Creator of the earth and sky, Ruling the firmament on high, Clothing the day with robes of light, Blessing with gracious sleep the night. That rest may comfort weary men, And brace to useful toil again, And soothe awhile the harassed mind, And sorrow’s heavy load unbind. Day sinks; we thank Thee for Thy gift; Night comes; and once again we lift Our prayer and vows and hymns that we Against all ills may shielded be. Thee let the secret heart acclaim, Thee let our tuneful voices name, Round Thee our chaste affections cling Thee sober reason own as King. That when black darkness closes day, And shadows thicken round our way, Faith may no darkness know, and night From faith’s clear beam may borrow light. Rest not, my heaven born mind and will; Rest, all the thoughts and deeds of ill; May faith its watch unwearied keep, And cool the dreaming warmth of sleep. From cheats of sense, Lord, keep me free; And let my heart’s depth dream of Thee; Let not my envious foe draw near, To break my rest with any fear. Pray we the Father and the Son, And Holy Ghost: O Three in One, Blest Trinity, whom all obey, Guard Thou Thy sheep by night and day.

• [Gen 1:1] Eternal God, Mover Unmoved

  Eternal God, mover unmoved, Your frightful power was greatly proved When you made all from naught. You formed man in your image bright. You spared our parents no delight And all your world was good and right While your just will man sought. A foe more ancient than the earth, Who reached for your high place of worth, Then launched his fatal plan. And though your law was only one, Eve took and ate, and having done, Bade Adam eat, and in that one All died, and so fell man. Our foe was pleased, but could not tell Your plan of grace for man who fell, Nor measure your design. For so to point to future grace, You set apart a holy race Through faith in what would soon take place, Though veiled with law and sign. You willed for slaughtered lambs to show The way in which your Lamb would go When ransoming his own. For though in one man, mankind fell, This second Adam conquered Hell, And rising, conquered death as well, Then reassumed His throne. Thus while your children war below With flesh and with our ancient foe, Our victory is sure. For you will come with trump and light, And end what’s left of Satan’s might, And take us home for your delight, Eternally secure.

From the power of evil hide us, In the narrow pathway guide us, Nor Thy smile be ever denied us all through the day.

Another year of progress, another year of praise, Another year of proving Thy presence all the days. Another year of mercies, of faithfulness and grace, Another year of gladness in the shining of Thy face; Another year of leaning upon Thy loving breast; Another year of trusting, of quiet, happy rest. Another year of service, of witness for Thy love, Another year of training for holier work above. Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be On earth, or else in Heaven, another year for Thee.

• [Gen 1:14] New Wonders Of Thy Mighty Hand

  New wonders of Thy mighty hand, Lord, we today admire, Writ on the firmament above In glittering orbs of fire. The sun is ruler of the day, The silver moon of night, The starry hosts adorn the sky In ordered ranks of light. But e’en that glorious sun must set, And knows his going down, That silver moon must wax and wane, The stars their courses own. Still in an ever changing round The daylight comes and goes; But Thou art evermore the same, No change Thy mercy knows. Why waver then our troubled hearts? Thine is a Father’s care; And they, eternal life who seek, Eternal life shall share. All praise, all glory be ascribed To God the One in Three, Who bids us cast our care on Him, To Him for comfort flee.

  Creator of the stars of night, Thy people’s everlasting light, Jesu, Redeemer, save us all, And hear Thy servants when they call. Thou, grieving that the ancient curse Should doom to death a universe, Hast found the medicine, full of grace, To save and heal a ruined race. Thou cam’st, the Bridegroom of the bride, As drew the world to evening-tide; Proceeding from a virgin shrine, The spotless Victim all divine. At Whose dread Name, majestic now, All knees must bend, all hearts must bow; And things celestial Thee shall own, And things terrestrial, Lord alone. O Thou Whose coming is with dread To judge and doom the quick and dead, Preserve us, while we dwell below, From every insult of the foe. To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Laud, honor, might, and glory be From age to age eternally.

  The Maker of the sun and moon, The Maker of our earth, Lo! late in time, a fairer boon, Himself is brought to birth! How blest was all creation then, When God so gave increase; And Christ, to heal the hearts of men, Brought righteousness and peace! No star in all the heights of heaven But burned to see Him go; Yet unto earth alone was given His human form to know. His human form, by man denied, Took death for human sin: His endless love, through faith descried, Still lives the world to win. O perfect love, outpassing sight, O light beyond our ken, Come down through all the world tonight, And heal the hearts of men!

But other food, of richer cost, The immortal spirit needs; By faith it lives on every word That from His mouth proceeds. Faith springing from the blood of Christ, Has flowed o’er every land; And sinners through the vanquished world Bow down to its command. Its light the joy of Heav’n reveals To hearts made pure within; And bids them seek by worthy deeds Eternal crowns to win. By faith the saints of old were strong The lion’s wrath to tame; By faith they spurned the tyrant’s threats, And scorned the raging flame. Lord, grant that we the path may tread Whereon its light doth shine; And gather, as we onward go, The fruits of love divine.

• [Gen 1:27] On Man, In His Own Image Made

  On man, in his own image made, How much did God bestow? The whole creation homage paid, And owned him lord, below! He dwelt in Eden’s garden, stored With sweets for every sense; And there with his descending Lord He walked in confidence. But O! by sin how quickly changed! His honor forfeited, His heart, from God and truth, estranged, His conscience filled with dread! Now from his Maker’s voice he flees, Which was before his joy: And thinks to hide, amidst the trees, From an all seeing eye. Compelled to answer to his name, With stubbornness and pride He cast, on God Himself, the blame, Nor once for mercy cried. But grace, unasked, his heart subdued And all his guilt forgave; By faith, the promised seed he viewed, And felt His pow’r to save. Thus we ourselves would justify, Though we the law transgress; Like him, unable to deny, Unwilling to confess. But when by faith the sinner sees A pardon bought with blood; Then he forsakes his foolish pleas, And gladly turns to God.

• [Luk 2:13] Do You Know The Song That The Angels Sang

  Do you know the song that the angels sang On that night in the long ago, When the heavens above with their music rang Till it echoed in the earth below? Refrain All glory in the highest, Peace on earth, goodwill to men, Glory in the highest, Peace, goodwill to men; Glory in the highest, Glory in the highest, Peace on earth, goodwill to men. Do you know the song that the shepherds heard As they watched o’er their flocks by night, When the skies bent down, and their hearts were stirred By the voices of the angels bright? Refrain Do you know the story that the wise men learned As they journeyed from the east afar, O’er a pathway plain, for there nightly burned In their sight a glorious guiding star? Refrain

• [Luk 2:13] From Every Spire On Christmas Eve

  From every spire on Christmas Eve, the Christmas bells ring clearly out Their message of goodwill and peace, with many a call and silver shout. For faithful hearts, the angels’ song still echoes in the frosty air, And by the altar low they bow, in adoration and in prayer. A thousand blessed memories throng, the stars are holy signs to them, And from the eyes of every child looks forth the Babe of Bethlehem; But there are others, not like these, whose brows are sad, whose hopes are crossed, To whom the season brings no cheer, and life’s most gracious charm is lost. To whom that story, old and sweet, is but a fable at the best, The Christmas music mocks their ears, and life has naught of joy or rest. Oh! for angel’s voice to pierce the clouds of grief that over them rise, The mists of doubt and unbelief that veil the blue of Christmas skies. That they, at last, may see the Light which shines from Bethlehem, and unfold For Christ the treasures of their hearts, richer than spicery or gold. Hope of the ages, draw Thou near, till all the earth shall own Thy sway, And when Thou reignest in every heart it will, indeed, be Christmas Day.

• [Luk 2:13] Glorious, Beauteous, Golden-bright

  Glorious, beauteous, golden-bright, Shedding softest, purest light, Shone the stars that Christmas night, When the Jewish shepherds kept Watch beside their flocks that slept. But the stars’ sweet golden gleam Faded quickly as a dream ’Mid the wondrous glory-stream That illumined all the earth, When Christ’s angels sang His birth. Soft and pure and holy glory, Kings and seers and prophets hoary, Shed throughout the sacred story: While the priests, like shepherds true, Watched beside God’s chosen few. But that light no more availéd, And its splendor staighway paléd In His light Whom angels hailéd; Even as the stars of old, ’Mid the brightness lost their gold. Now no more on Christmas night, Is the sky with angels bright, But for ever shines the Light; Even He Whose birth they told To the shepherds by the fold. Since that Light then darkens never, Let us all, with glad endeavor, Sing the song that echoes ever: Glory in the highest Heaven! Peace on earth to us forgiven.

• [Luk 2:13] Hark From On High Those Blissful Strains!

  Hark from on high those blissful strains! Whence can such sweetness be? Have angels waked their golden harps With Heav’ns own minstrelsy? With Heav’ns own minstrelsy? Or do we hear the cherub voice Of infant bands who raise, Soaring from earth celestial notes In their Creator’s praise? In their Creator’s praise? Thus spake the shepherds—yet with dread, So strange the sounds they heard, While o’er their slumb’ring flocks they kept Their wonted nightly guard, Their wonted nightly guard. And soon they saw a dazzling light Beam through the starry way, And shining seraphs clust’ring where The infant Jesus lay, The infant Jesus lay. They came a Savior’s birth to tell, And tunes of rapture sing; Hence the glad notes that filled the air— Each swept his loudest string, Each swept his loudest string. But now in accents soft and kind The chieftain angel said, “Heav’ns tidings of great joy we bear— Shepherds, be not afraid, Shepherds, be not afraid.”

• [Luk 2:13] I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

  I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men. And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along the unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. 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. 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.” 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.” Then from each black, accursed mouth The cannon thundered in the South, And with the sound the carols drowned Of peace on earth, good will to men. It was as if an earthquake rent The hearth-stones of a continent, And made forlorn, the households born Of peace on earth, good will to men.

  In the lonely midnight on the wintry hill, Shepherds heard the angels singing, “Peace, good will.” Listen, O ye weary, to the angels’ song, Unto to you the tidings of great joy belong. Though in David’s city angels sing no more, Love makes angel music on earth’s darkest shore; Though no heavenly glory meet your wondering eyes, Love can make your dwelling bright as paradise. Though the Child of Mary, sent from heaven on high, In His manger cradle may no longer lie, Love is King forever, though the proud world scorn; If ye truly seek Him, Christ your King is born.

• [Luk 2:13] Music On Christmas Morning

  Music I love—­but ne’er a strain Could kindle raptures so divine, So grief assuage, so conquer pain, And rouse this pensive heart of mine; As that we hear on Christmas morn, Upon the wintry breezes borne. Though darkness still her empire keep, And hours must pass, ere morning break; From troubled dreams, or slumbers deep, That music kindly bids us wake: It calls us, with an angel’s voice, To wake, and worship, and rejoice. To greet with joy the glorious morn, Which angels welcomed long ago, When our redeeming Lord was born, To bring the light of Heaven below; The powers of darkness to dispel, And rescue Earth from death and hell. While listening to that sacred strain, My raptured spirit soars on high; I seem to hear those songs again Resounding through the open sky, That kindled such divine delight, In those who watched their flocks by night. With them, I celebrate His birth; Glory to God, in highest Heaven, Good will to men, and peace on Earth, To us a Savior King is given; Our God is come to claim His own, And Satan’s power is overthrown! A sinless God, for sinful men, Descends to suffer and to bleed; Hell must renounce its empire then; The price is paid, the world is freed, And Satan’s self must now confess, That Christ has earned a right to bless. Now holy peace may smile from Heaven, And heavenly truth from earth shall spring: The captive’s galling bonds are riven, For our Redeemer is our King; And He that gave His blood for men Will lead us home to God again.

Luke 2:1

• [Luk 2:1] On A Day When Men Were Counted

  On a day when men were counted, God became the Son of Man, That His Name in every census should be entered was His plan. God, the Lord of all creation, humbly takes a creature’s place; He Whose form no man has witnessed has today a human face. On a night, while silent shepherds watched their flocks upon the plain, Came a message with its summons brought by song of angel train: Lo, in Bethlehem’s little village has arrived the shepherd King, And each shepherd to his Master must his sheep as offering bring. When there shone the star of David in the spangled eastern sky, Kings arrived to pay their homage to the Christ, the Lord most high. Yet not all, for lo, there soundeth through the streets a fearful cry; For a king who will not worship has decreed that Christ must die. Yet it’s Christmas, and we greet Him, coming even now to save; For the Lord of our salvation was not captive to the grave. Out of Egypt came the Savior, man’s Immanuel to be— Christmas shines with Easter glory, glory of eternity.
