• [Luk 1:13] Let Thine Example

  Let thine example, holy John, remind us, Ere we can meetly sing thy deeds of wonder, Hearts must be chastened, and the bonds that bind us Broken asunder! Lo! a swift angel, from the skies descending, Tells to thy father what shall be thy naming; All thy life’s greatness to its bitter ending Duly proclaiming. But when he doubted what the angel told him Came to him dumbness to confirm the story; At thine appearing, healed again behold him, Chanting thy glory! Oh! what a splendor and a revelation Came to each mother, at thy joyful leaping, Greeting thy Monarch, King of every nation, In the womb sleeping. Angels in orders everlasting praise Thee, God, in Thy triune majesty tremendous, Hark to the prayers we, penitents, upraise Thee: Save and defend us.

• [Luk 1:26] Gabriel, From The Heaven Descending

  Gabriel, from the Heaven descending, On the faithful Word attending, Is in holy converse blending With the virgin full of grace: That good word and sweet he plighteth In the bosom where it lighteth, And for Eva Ave writeth, Changing Eva’s name and race. At the promise that he sendeth God the Incarnate Word descendeth; Yet no carnal touch offendeth Her, the undefilèd one. She, without a father, beareth, She no bridal union shareth, And a painless birth declareth That she bare the Royal Son. Tale that wondering search entices! But believe—and that suffices; It is not for man’s devices Here to pry with gaze unmeet: High the sign, its place assuming In the bush, the unconsuming: Mortal, veil thine eyes presuming, Loose thy shoes from off thy feet. As the rod, by wondrous power, Moistened not by dew or shower, Bare the almond and the flower, Thus He came, the virgin’s fruit: Hail the Fruit, O world, with gladness! Fruit of joy and not of sadness: Adam had not lapsed to madness Had he tasted of its shoot. Jesus, kind above all other, Gentle Child of gentle mother, In the stable born our Brother, Whom the angelic hosts adore: He, once cradled in a manger, Heal our sin and calm our danger; For our life, to this world stranger, Is in peril evermore.

You are on earth most blest, You are most blest, most blessèd, God chose you, you are blest!” But Mary was most troubled to hear the angel’s word. What was the angel saying? It troubled her to hear, To hear the angel’s message, it troubled her to hear. “Fear not, for God is with you, and you shall bear a child. His name shall be called Jesus, God’s offspring from on high. And he shall reign forever, forever reign on high.” “How shall this be?” said Mary, “I am not yet a wife.” The angel answered quickly, “The power of the Most High Will come upon you shortly, your child will be God’s child.” As Mary heard the angel, she wondered at his words. “Behold, I am your handmaid,” she said unto her God. “So be it; I am ready according to your word.”

• [Luk 1:46] Away! With Loyal Hearts And True

  Away! with loyal hearts and true, O’er hill and dale they pressed Full four score weary miles, to do The Cæsar’s high behest; And Mary sang “Magnificat,” Her own, her ancient song; For well wist she that God’s decree Was bearing her along, Was bearing her along. Away! through fields and meadows green, O’er purple heather-bed, By mountain pass, or dark ravine, The faithful couple sped. And soft and sweet, where’er they went, To glad the weary way, Sang Mary that “Magnificat,” Her own, her ancient lay, Her own, her ancient lay. O’erhead the storm clouds often wept, And tempests o’er them passed, And cold around them often swept The bleak December blast. But still she sang “Magnificat,” Through weather foul or fair; For all was rest within her breast, ’Twas always sunshine there, ’Twas always sunshine there. And when the pilgrimage was o’er, And of their royal king Not one would open wide his door, And bid them enter in; Still Mary sang “Magnificat” With ever joyful tone; “Whate’er betide, the Lord,” she cried, “Is mindful of His own.” Worn out at last, and ill-bestead, Right glad were they to find Within a sorry cattle shed A shelter from the wind. And Mary sang “Magnificat” Right through that wondrous night; And, e’er the birth of morn on earth, Was born the Light of Light. Then let us all with one accord Join Mary’s song and say, “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” For ever and for aye. Let us sing “Magnificat,” That dear and ancient lay, For God’s own Son with us is one, And He is born today.

• [Luk 1:50] There’s A Wideness In God’s Mercy

  There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There’s a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. There is no place where earth’s sorrows Are more felt than up in Heaven; There is no place where earth’s failings Have such kindly judgment given. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in His blood. There is grace enough for thousands Of new worlds as great as this; There is room for fresh creations In that upper home of bliss. For the love of God is broader Than the measure of our mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. ’Tis not all we owe to Jesus; It is something more than all; Greater good because of evil, Larger mercy through the fall. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. Souls of men! why will ye scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts! why will ye wander From a love so true and deep? It is God: His love looks mighty, But is mightier than it seems; ’Tis our Father: and His fondness Goes far out beyond our dreams. But we make His love too narrow By false limits of our own; And we magnify His strictness With a zeal He will not own. Was there ever kinder shepherd Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the Savior who would have us Come and gather at His feet?

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.

• [Luk 2:6] The Friendly Beasts

  Jesus, our Brother, strong and good, Was humbly born in a stable rude, And the friendly beasts around Him stood, Jesus, our Brother, strong and good. “I,” said the donkey, shaggy and brown, “I carried His mother uphill and down, I carried His mother to Bethlehem town; I,” said the donkey, shaggy and brown. “I,” said the cow, all white and red, “I gave Him my manger for His bed, I gave Him hay to pillow His head; I,” said the cow, all white and red. “I,” said the sheep with curly horn, “I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm, He wore my coat on Christmas morn; I,” said the sheep with curly horn. “I,” said the dove, from the rafters high, “I cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry, We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I; I,” said the dove, from the rafters high. Thus all the beasts, by some good spell, In the stable dark were glad to tell Of the gifts they gave Emmanuel, The gifts they gave Emmanuel.

• [Luk 2:6] Once In Royal David’s City

  Once in royal David’s city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. He came down to earth from Heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. And, through all His wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden, In whose gentle arms He lay: Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He. For He is our childhood’s pattern; Day by day, like us He grew; He was little, weak and helpless, Tears and smiles like us He knew; And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness. And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love, For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in Heav’n above, And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone. Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see Him; but in Heaven, Set at God’s right hand on high; Where like stars His children crowned All in white shall wait around.

Happy all who hear the message Of His coming from above; Happier still who hail His coming, And with praises greet His love.

Evil things are there before Thee; In the heart, where they have fed, Wilt Thou pitifully enter, Son of Man, and lay Thy head? Enter, then, O Christ most holy; Make a Christmas in my heart; Make a heaven of my manger: It is heaven where Thou art. And to those who never listened To the message of Thy birth, Who have winter, but no Christmas Bringing them Thy peace on earth, Send to these the joyful tidings; By all people, in each home, Be there heard the Christmas anthem; Praise to God, the Christ has come!

And I this morn would come with them This blessèd sight to see, And to the Babe of Bethlehem Bend low the reverent knee. But I have not, it makes me sigh, One offering in my power; ’Tis winter all with me, and I Have neither fruit nor flower. O God, O Brother, let me me give My worthless self to Thee; And that the years which I may live May pure and spotless be. Grant me Thyself, O Savior kind, The Spirit undefiled, That I may be in heart and mind As gentle as a child; That I may tread life’s arduous ways As Thou Thyself hast trod, And in the might of prayer and praise Keep ever close to God. Light of the everlasting morn, Deep through my spirit shine; There let Thy presence newly born Make all my being Thine: There try me as the silver, try, And cleanse my soul with care, Till Thou art able to descry Thy faultless image there.

• [Luk 2:7] When Joseph Went With Mary

  When Joseph went with Mary To David’s royal town, With travelling were they weary, Yet lodging not they found; They searched the city over, At every inn did call; “No room,” they heard, and time again, So stayed in oxen’s stall. No palace fit for royal birth, No purple robes disclose; The King of Glory, come from Heav’n, A lowly manger chose; Our Savior and Redeemer, In swaddling clothes entwined, The Babe whose life would be the price To rescue lost mankind. While shepherds flocks were watching, And sleeping in the field, Announcement of Immanuel’s birth Was suddenly revealed; A sun-bright shining angel, Said, “Fear not, I am here To bring glad tidings of great joy,” But shepherds shook with fear. “Shake off your fears and listen— Lo, you have cause to sing! Here in the town of David Tonight is born a King; For God so loved the world that He sent His only Son; Who places faith in Him alone Eternal life has won.” While shepherds wondered at the news Then glorious hosts appear, Proclaiming, “Glory, peace on earth, The Savior now is near; No longer be a stranger, He waits for you this night; Go see the Prince in manger straw In royal stable bright.” They hastened unto Bethlehem, With eagerness did go, They found the Child in swaddling clothes, Amazed that it was so; Like them, do not reject Him, Nor spurn that gracious call, From One who came to earth for us, The price to pay for all.

Rise to adore the mystery of love Which hosts of angels chanted from above, With them the joyful tidings first begun Of God incarnate and the virgin’s Son. Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, Who heard th’angelic herald’s voice, “Behold, I bring good tidings of a Savior’s birth To you and all the nations of the earth; This day hath God fulfilled His promised Word; This day is born a Savior, Christ the Lord.” He spoke; and straightaway the celestial choir In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire; The praises of redeeming love they sang, And Heav’n’s whole orb with alleluias rang. God’s highest glory was their anthem still, Peace on the earth and unto men good will. To Bethl’hem straight th’enlightened shepherds ran To see the wonder God had wrought for man And found, with Joseph and the blessèd maid, Her Son, the Savior, in a manger laid; Then to their flocks, still praising God, return, And their glad hearts with holy rapture burn. Like Mary let us ponder in our mind God’s wondrous love in saving lost mankind! Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss, From His poor manger to His bitter cross, Tread in His steps, assisted by His grace, Till man’s first heav’nly state again takes place. Then may we hope, th’angelic hosts among, To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song. He that was born upon this joyful day Around us all His glory shall display. Saved by His love, incessantly we sing Eternal praise to Heav’n’s almighty King.

They lookèd up and saw a star Shining in the east, beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.

Refrain This star drew nigh to the northwest, Over Bethlehem it took its rest; And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. Refrain Then did they know assuredly Within that house the King did lie; One entered it them for to see, And found the Babe in poverty. Refrain Then entered in those Wise Men three, Full reverently upon the knee, And offered there, in His presence, Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains, They bend on hovering wing, And ever over its Babel sounds The blessèd angels sing. Yet with the woes of sin and strife The world has suffered long; Beneath the angel strain have rolled Two thousand years of wrong; And man, at war with man, hears not The love-song which they bring; O hush the noise, ye men of strife And hear the angels sing. And ye, beneath life’s crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing. O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing! For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophet-bards foretold, When with the ever circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

Refrain Our song we raise as God we praise, Good will and peace on earth; With heart and voice we all rejoice, And sing the Savior’s birth. When they had sung their song of love, The angels went away, To sing in joyful courts above That first glad Christmas day. The shepherds heard the wondrous word The angels brought to them; Then hastened they where sleeping lay The Babe of Bethlehem. Around the manger gathering, O! let us prostrate fall; And to the infant Savior bring Our hearts, our lives our all! Refrain

• [Luk 2:9] Shepherd Band Their Flocks, A

  A shepherd band their flocks are keeping, And gentle lambs are sweetly sleeping; When suddenly they all behold An angel in bright robes, with harp of gold. Glad tidings of great joy he bringeth, The azure vault with anthems ringeth; Immanuel awakes the song, And countless hosts the glorious theme prolong. “To you, this day, is born a Savior, Your Prophet, Priest and King forever; All glory be to God,” they cry; “All glory be to God,” let earth reply. “On earth be peace with mercy blending, Goodwill to men, and love unending”; Thus sweetly sing the angel throng, And all the heav’nly host rehearse the song. Through field and wood the song resoundeth, O’er hill and vale the chorus boundeth; Exultingly the echoes roll, And hymns of triumph spread from pole to pole. The shepherds view the host returning, Their hearts with holy ardor burning; To Bethlehem they wend their way, Repeating with glad tongues th’angelic lay. In haste they seek the heav’nly Stranger; They find the Babe laid in a manger; With wonder and with awe they fall, And joyfully adore Him, Lord of all. Now every voice with rapture swelleth, For Christ the Lord with mortals dwelleth; Let men and angels Him adore, And shout their loud hosannas evermore.

• [Luk 2:9] To Weary Shepherds Sleeping

  To weary shepherds sleeping, A blinding light appeared; And from their couches sleeping, They scattered, all afeared; But Gabriel spake to calm them From all that did alarm them. With silver wings and golden A mighty host they saw; Ne’er had their eyes beholden Such majesty before. Said Gabriel that even, “I come from God in Heaven.” And while his words they ponder The angel host around Cried: “In a manger yonder The King of kings is found! Go shepherds, do not tarry; Your loving homage carry.” In joy they turned their faces To where they heard He lay, And merry were their paces And songs upon the way. And when the dawn was creeping They found Him sweetly sleeping. Their gifts they laid around Him With shy and humble word, And—happy to have found Him— They lingered and adored. While Gabriel—upward winging— “Now peace on earth!” was singing.

  As on the night before this happy morn, A blessèd angel unto shepherds told, Where in a stable He was poorly born, Whom nor the earth nor Heav’n of Heav’ns can hold. Thro’ Bethl’em rang this news at their return; Yea, angels sang that God with us was born; And they made mirth because we should not mourn, And they made mirth because we should not mourn. Their angel carols sing we then; To God on high all glory be, For peace on earth bestoweth He, And showeth favor unto men. This favor Christ vouchsafèd for our sake; To buy us thrones, He in a manger lay; Our weakness took, that we His strength might take, And was disrobed, that He might us array; Our flesh He wore, our sins to wear away; Our curse He bore, that we escape it may; And wept for us that we might sing for aye; And wept for us that we might sing for aye; With angels, therefore, sing again; To God on high all glory be, For peace on earth bestoweth He, And showeth favor unto men.

  From church to church the bells’ glad tidings run: A virgin hath conceived, and borne a Son In Bethlehem. And angel hosts, the midnight of His birth, Sang “Glory be to God, and peace on earth,” In Bethlehem. “Now go we forth, and see this wondrous thing,” The shepherds said, “and seek the newborn King In Bethlehem.” Then Herod sought the royal Son to slay, Who rather should have to come to kneel and pray In Bethlehem. The star went leading on from east to west: The wise men followed, till they saw it rest In Bethlehem. Their frankincense and myrrh, and gold they bring, To hail the God, the Mortal, and the King In Bethlehem. With threefold gifts the Threefold God three praise, Who thus vouchsafed the sons of man raise, In Bethlehem.

  From Heaven above to earth I come, To bear good news to every home; Glad tidings of great joy I bring, Whereof I now will say and sing. To you, this night, is born a Child Of Mary, chosen mother mild; This little Child, of lowly birth, Shall be the joy of all your earth. ’Tis Christ our God, who far on high Had heard your sad and bitter cry; Himself will your Salvation be, Himself from sin will make you free. He brings those blessings, long ago Prepared by God for all below; Henceforth His kingdom open stands To you, as to the angel bands. These are the tokens ye shall mark, The swaddling clothes and manger dark; There shall ye find the young Child laid, By whom the heavens and earth were made. Now let us all, with gladsome cheer Follow the shepherds, and draw near To see this wondrous gift of God, Who hath His only Son bestowed. Give heed, my heart, lift up thine eyes! Who is it in yon manger lies? Who is this Child so young and fair? The blessèd Christ-child lieth there. Welcome to earth, Thou noble Guest, Through Whom e’en wicked men are blest! Thou com’st to share our misery, What can we render, Lord, to Thee! Ah, Lord, who hast created all, How hast Thou made Thee weak and small, That Thou must choose Thy infant bed Where ass and ox but lately fed! Were earth a thousand times as fair, Beset with gold and jewels rare, She yet were far too poor to be A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee. For velvets soft and silken stuff Thou hast but hay and straw so rough, Whereon Thou King, so rich and great, As ’twere Thy heaven, art throned in state. Thus hath it pleased Thee to make plain The truth to us poor fools and vain, That this world’s honor, wealth and might Are naught and worthless in Thy sight. Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child, Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled, Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee. My heart for very joy doth leap, My lips no more can silence keep, I too must sing, with joyful tongue, That sweetest ancient cradle-song— Glory to God in highest Heaven, Who unto man His Son hath given! While angels sing, with pious mirth, A glad New Year to all the earth.

  From highest Heaven, on joyous wing, I come to you good news to bring; Good news I bring, a plenteous store, Whereof my song shall tell you more. For unto you, this happy morn, Of virgin meek and pure, is born A holy Child, a gentle Boy, To be your bliss and chiefest joy. It is the Christ, our God indeed, The very help poor sinners need; He will Himself your Savior be, From sin and sorrow set you free. To you the blessedness He bears, Which God the Father’s love prepares, That in His heavenly kingdom blest, You may with us for ever rest. So mark ye well the signs I show, The swaddling bands, the manger low; There shall ye find the young Child laid, By whom the universe was made. Then let us all right merry be, And with the shepherds go and see The gift which God to us hath given, His own dear Son sent down from Heaven. Mark thou, my heart, look well mine eyes, What yonder in the manger lies! What Child is that so wondrous fair? The little Jesus lieth there. Welcome, thrice welcome, noble Guest! The sinner’s friend, the mourner’s rest; For coming thus to grief and me, How can I thank Thee worthily? Ah! mighty Lord, who madest all, How couldst Thou make Thyself so small, To lie upon the coarse dry grass, The food of humble ox and ass? And were the world ten times as wide, With gold and jewels beautified, It would be far too small to be A little cradle, Lord, for Thee? Thy silk and velvet are coarse hay, Thy swaddling bands the mean array, With which e’en Thou, a King so great, Art clad as with a robe of state. And thus, perhaps, it pleaseth Thee To make this truth quite plain to me, That worldly honor, wealth, and might Are mean and worthless in Thy sight. Ah! Jesus, lay Thy gentle head, And make Thyself a clean, soft bed Here in the corner of my heart, That I and Thou may never part. So will I ever joyful be, And sing and dance right merrily, As mothers sing, the cradle nigh, Their sweetest, softest lullaby. Now praise we God on His high throne, Who giveth us His only Son! Such the good news the angels bring, Such the new year of which they sing.

Hark! a voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, doth entreat, “Flee from woe and danger; Brethren, come; from all that grieves you You are freed; all you need I will surely give you.” Come, then, let us hasten yonder; Here let all, great and small, kneel in awe and wonder, Love Him Who with love is yearning; Hail the star that from far bright with hope is burning. Ye who pine in weary sadness, Weep no more, for the door now is found of gladness. Cling to Him, for He will guide you Where no cross, pain or loss, can again betide you. Hither come, ye poor and wretched: Know His will is to fill every hand outstretchèd; Here are riches without measure, Here forget all regret, fill your hearts with treasure. Blessèd Savior, let me find Thee! Keep Thou me close to Thee, cast me not behind Thee! Life of life, my heart Thou stillest, Calm I rest on Thy breast, all this void Thou fillest. Thee, dear Lord, with heed I’ll cherish; Live to Thee and with Thee, dying, shall not perish; But shall dwell with Thee for ever, Far on high, in the joy that can alter never. Forth today the Conqueror goeth, Who the foe, sin and woe, death and hell, o’erthroweth. God is man, man to deliver; His dear Son now is one with our blood forever. Shall we still dread God’s displeasure, Who, to save, freely gave His most cherished Treasure? To redeem us, He hath given His own Son from the throne of His might in Heaven. Should He who Himself imparted Aught withhold from the fold, leave us broken hearted? Should the Son of God not love us, Who, to cheer sufferers here, left His throne above us? If our blessèd Lord and Maker Hated men, would He then be of flesh partaker? If He in our woe delighted, Would He bear all the care of our race benighted? He becomes the Lamb that taketh Sin away and for aye full atonement maketh. For our life His own He tenders And our race, by His grace, meet for glory renders.

  All my heart with joy is springing, While in air everywhere Angel choirs are singing. Hear them to the shepherds telling: “Christ is born! On this morn God with man is dwelling.” To this lower world descendeth, From above, He whose love All our sorrows endeth. He who breath and being gave us, Quits the skies, lives and dies In our flesh to save us. Christ our Lamb so meek and loving Dries our tears, calms our fears, All our sins removing; Christ our Lamb, who suffers with us; He can quell death and hell, And to peace restore us. Hark, from yon dark manger lowly, Breezes soft seem to waft Gentle words and holy: “Sigh no more, away with sadness Brethren dear; I am here, Bringing hope and gladness.” Come ye now, and kneel before Him; Mortals all, great and small, Worship and adore Him: Love your King, whose love invites you: Lo, His star from afar To His dwelling lights you. Ye, whom galling want oppresses Here ye find comfort kind, Balm for your distresses: Noblest treasures here are given; Riches true wait for you Poor of Christ, in Heaven. Ye who strive with fierce temptation, Sorrow-stung, conscience-wrung, Here is consolation: For the woes which men inherit Christ can feel, Christ will heal Every wounded spirit. Kind Redeemer, knit Thee to us; Quelling sin, reign within, With Thy grace renew us: Make us Thine by true repentance; Let us hear, free from fear, Lord, Thy final sentence. Ours be Thy pure love, O Savior, Ours Thy faith, strong in death, Ours Thy meek behavior; Here let us, on Thee depending, In Thee die, with Thee fly To the bliss unending.

The shepherds heard an angel cry, A merry song that night sang he, “Why are ye all so sore aghast?” Iam lucis orto sidere. The angel came down with a cry, A fair and joyful song sang he, All in the worship of that Child, Gloria Tibi Domine.

Kneel down and adore Him with shepherds today, Lift up little hands now and praise Him as they; Rejoice that a Savior from sin you can boast, And join in the song of the heavenly host. O Jesus, my Savior, what must not be done, What must not be suffered for sin to atone! From infancy sorrow and pain Thou must know Till Thou on the cross tasteth death’s bitter woe. Dear Christ Child, what gifts can we children bestow, By which our affection and gladness to show? No riches and treasures of value can be, But hearts that believe are accepted with Thee.

The Son of God, th’eternal King, That did us all salvation bring, And freed the soul from danger; He Whom the whole world could not take, The Word, which Heaven and earth did make, Was now laid in a manger. The Father’s wisdom willed it so, The Son’s obedience knew no “No,” Both wills were in one stature; And as that wisdom had decreed, The Word was now made Flesh indeed, And took on Him our nature.

• [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.

  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.

  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.”

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.

  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.

  Glory be to Him Who loved us, Washed us from each sinful stain; Glory be to Him Who made us Priests and kings with Him to reign; Glory, worship, laud and blessing To the Lamb Who once was slain. “Glory, worship, laud and blessing,” Thus the choir triumphant sings; “Honor, riches, pow’r, dominion,” Thus its praise creation brings; Thou art worthy, Thou art worthy, Lord of Lords, and King of kings. Glory to the King of angels, Glory to the Church’s King, Glory to the King of nations, Heav’n and earth His praises sing: Glory ever and for ever To the King of Glory bring. Glory be to Thee, O Father, Glory be to Thee, O Son, Glory be to Thee, O Spirit, Glory be to God alone, As it was, is now, and shall be While the endless ages run.

• [Luk 2:14] Happy Christmas Comes Once More, The

  The happy Christmas comes once more, The heavenly Guest is at the door, The blessèd words the shepherds thrill, The joyous tidings, “Peace, good will.” This world, though wide and far outspread, Could scarcely find for You a bed. Your cradle was a manger stall, No pearl nor silk nor kingly hall. O let us go with quiet mind, The gentle Babe with shepherds find, To gaze on Him Who gladdens them, The loveliest flower of Jesse’s stem. The lowly Savior meekly lies, Laid off the splendor of the skies; No crown bedecks His forehead fair, No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there. O wake, our hearts, in gladness sing, And keep our Christmas with our King, Till living song, from loving souls, Like sound of mighty water rolls. O holy Child, Thy manger gleams Till earth and heaven glow with its beams, Till midnight noon’s broad light hath won, And Jacob’s star outshines the sun. Thou patriarchs’ joy, Thou prophets’ song, Thou heavenly Dayspring, looked for long, Thou Son of Man, incarnate Word, Great David’s Son, great David’s Lord. Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest, Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast, Then David’s harp strings, hushed so long, Shall swell our jubilee of song.

Proclaim the Savior’s birth; He raises us to Heaven, O hail His coming down to earth.

Refrain He did not bring a royal train, A host no man might number, Nor lay begirt by damask folds, Nor lulled by harp to slumber. Oh, He was wrapped in swathing bands Whose might o’erspans the Heaven, And that mean trough where oxen fed, For His first rest was given. Refrain There were poor shepherds in the field, Their flocks at midnight tending; Then Heav’n came down and brought for news, A rapture never ending; So they went swift to Bethlehem, And saw—and told the story Of Christ the Lord, a little Child, And angels singing, “Glory.” Refrain Not in the manger lies He now; Far o’er the sapphire portal At God’s right hand of power He sits Who was this day made mortal: All in the highest, holiest place, Where there may dwell none other, There our own Manhood sits enthroned, There is our elder Brother. Refrain The birthday of our God and King— Lo! we are called to greet Him; The everlasting Bridegroom comes, Oh, go ye out to meet Him.

  O Zion, open wide thy gates, Let figures disappear; A Priest and Victim, both in One, The Truth Himself, is here. No more the simple flock shall bleed; Behold, the Father’s Son Himself to His own altar comes For sinners to atone. Conscious of hidden deity, The lowly virgin brings Her newborn Babe, with two young doves, Her humble offerings. The agèd Simeon sees at last His Lord, so long desired, And Anna welcomes Israel’s hope, With holy rapture fired. But silent knelt the mother blest Of the yet silent Word, And pondering all things in her heart, With speechless praise adored. All glory to the Father be, All glory to the Son, All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee, While endless ages run.

  At the cross, her station keeping, Stood the mournful mother weeping, Where He hung, the dying Lord; For her soul of joy bereavèd, Bowed with anguish, deeply grievèd, Felt the sharp and piercing sword. Oh, how sad and sore distressèd Now was she, that mother blessèd Of the sole begotten One; Deep the woe of her affliction, When she saw the crucifixion Of her ever glorious Son. Who, on Christ’s dear mother gazing Pierced by anguish so amazing Born of woman, would not weep? Who, on Christ’s dear mother thinking Such a cup of sorrow drinking Would not share her sorrows deep? For His people’s sins chastisèd, She beheld her Son despisèd, Scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined; Saw Him then from judgment taken, And in death by all forsaken, Till His Spirit He resigned. Jesu, may her deep devotion Stir in me the same emotion, Fount of love, Redeemer kind, That my heart fresh ardor gaining, And a purer love attaining, May with Thee acceptance find.

  Near the cross, her vigil keeping, Stood the mother, worn with weeping, Where He hung, the dying Lord; Through her soul, in anguish groaning, Bowed in sorrow, sighing, moaning, Passed the sharp and piercing sword. O the weight of her affliction! Hers, who won God’s benediction, Hers, who bore God’s Holy One: O that speechless, ceaseless yearning! O those dim eyes never turning From her wondrous, suffering Son! Who upon that mother gazing, In her trouble so amazing, Born of woman, would not weep? Who of Christ’s dear mother thinking, While her Son that cup is drinking, Would not share her sorrow deep? For His people’s sin chastisèd She beheld her Son despisèd, Bound and bleeding ’neath the rod; Saw the Lord’s Anointed taken, Dying desolate, forsaken, Heard Him yield His soul to God. Near Thy cross, O Christ, abiding, Grief and love my heart dividing, I with her would take my place; By Thy guardian cross uphold me, In Thy dying, Christ, enfold me With the deathless arms of grace.

Darkly the pall of night was thrown Around me faint with terror; In that dark hour how did my groan Ascend for years of error. Sinking and panting as for breath I knew not help was near me; I cried, “Oh, save me, Lord from death, Immortal Jesus, hear me.” Then quick as thought I felt Him mine, My Savior stood before me; I saw His brightness round me shine, And shouted “Glory, Glory.” O sacred hour! O hallowed spot! Where love divine first found me; Wherever falls my distant lot, My heart shall linger round thee.

• [Luk 8:2] O Daughters Blest Of Galilee

  O daughters blest of Galilee, With Jesus chose ye well to be, Thrice happy holy company. O joy, to see that Master dear! O joy, to live with Him so near! O joy, that gentle voice to hear! O more than joy, to that dear Lord, In purest, deepest love adored, All lowly service to afford. Yea, happy was your lot to bring In loyal homage to your King Each free and gracious offering. O Jesus, throned above the height, Adoring troops of angels bright Wait on Thy bidding day and night. Thy sacred form we cannot see, Yet, Lord, these hands may render Thee Each lowly act of charity. For while, ’mid want and woe we move, And tend Thy poor in gentle love, We minister to Thee above. O gracious Jesus, we confess, Our poor cold love, our nothingness: Yet Thou wilt own, and Thou wilt bless.

  When the storms of life surround me, And the world seems dark and cold, When the rain beats down upon me, And the lightning stabs my soul, I cry out to my Savior, “Lord, help me, lest I die! Do You care not that the billows Push my boat toward the shoal?” When the raging winds and tempest, And the noxious clouds of sin, Whirl around me like an army, And my faith is wearing thin, In a whispering distant thunder, Comes a voice like morning calm: “Fear not, I am with you ever, Till the world shall see its end. “I command the winds of heaven, And the lightning does My will, I Who walked upon the waters, And Who bid the storm be still. I seek not your destruction, But to strengthen and make pure; Keep your faith in Me, believing I My promises fulfill.” He is greater than the thunder, He is mightier than the storm; He extends His hand to lift me, And protect my soul from harm. He will see me safe to harbor, To the haven of my rest, Sheltered by the Rock of Ages, Held in His almighty arm.

Go and work, the time is waning, Let thy earnest heart reply To the call so oft repeated, “Blessèd Master, here am I.” Refrain Hark! the song, the song of busy workers, In the fields so fair to see; Go and fill thy place among them, For the Lord hath need of thee. Take the balm of consolation That so oft has cheered thy heart; Let some weary brother toiler, In thy comfort share a part. Go and lift the heavy burden, He has struggled long to bear, Go, and kneeling down beside him, Blend thy faith with his in prayer. Refrain Go and gather souls for Jesus; Precious souls thy love may win; Lead them to the door of mercy; Tell them how to enter in. Go and gather souls for Jesus; Work while strength and breath remain; What are years of constant labor To the joy thou yet shalt gain? Refrain Go, then, work, the Master calleth; Go, no longer idle be; Waste no more thy precious moments, For the Lord hath need of Thee. Once He gave His life thy ransom, That thy soul with Him might live; Now the service He demandeth Can thy heart refuse to give? Refrain

  Not by Thy mighty hand, Thy wondrous works alone, But by the marvels of Thy Word, Thy glory, Lord, is known. Forth from the eternal gates, Thine everlasting home, To sow the seed of truth alone, Thou didst vouchsafe to come. And still from age to age, Thou, gracious Lord, hast been The Bearer forth of goodly seed, The Sower still unseen. And Thou wilt come again, And Heav’n beneath Thee bow, To reap the harvest Thou hast sown, Sower and Reaper Thou.

• [Luk 10:42] One Thing’s Needful

  One thing’s needful; Lord this treasure Teach me highly to regard; All else, though it first give pleasure, Is a yoke that presses hard. Beneath it the heart is still fretting and striving, No true, lasting happiness ever deriving. The gain of this one thing all loss can requite And teach me in all things to find true delight. Wilt thou find this one thing needful, Turn from all created things Unto Jesus and be heedful Of the blessèd joy He brings. For where God and Man both in one are united, With God’s perfect fulness the heart is delighted; There, there is the worthiest lot and the best, My One and my All and my Joy and my Rest. How were Mary’s thoughts devoted, Her eternal joy to find As intent each word she noted, At her Savior’s feet reclined! How kindled her heart, how devout was its feeling, While hearing the lessons that Christ was revealing! For Jesus all earthly concerns she forgot, And all was repaid in that one happy lot. Thus my longings, heav’nward tending, Jesus, rest alone on Thee. Help me, thus on Thee depending; Savior, come and dwell in me. Although all the world should forsake and forget Thee, In love I will follow Thee, ne’er will I quit Thee. Lord Jesus, both spirit and life is Thy Word; And is there a joy which Thou dost not afford? Wisdom’s highest, noblest treasure, Jesus, lies concealed in Thee; Grant that this may still the measure Of my will and actions be, Humility there and simplicity reigning, In paths of true wisdom my steps ever training. Oh, if I of Christ have this knowledge divine, The fulness of heavenly wisdom is mine. Naught have I, O Christ, to offer Naught but Thee, my highest Good. Naught have I, O Lord, to proffer But Thy crimson-colored blood. Thy death on the cross hath Death wholly defeated And thereby my righteousness fully completed; Salvation’s white raiments I there did obtain, And in them in glory with Thee I shall reign. Therefore Thou alone, my Savior, Shalt be All in all to me; Search my heart and my behavior, Root out all hypocrisy. Restrain me from wandering on pathways unholy And through all life’s pilgrimage keep my heart lowly. This one thing is needful, all others are vain; I count all but loss that I Christ may obtain.

  Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, Unuttered or expressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer, the sublimest strains That reach The Majesty on high. Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, The Christian’s native air, His watchword at the gates of death; He enters Heav’n with prayer. Prayer is the contrite sinner’s voice, Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice And cry, “Behold, he prays!” The saints in prayer appear as one In word, in deed, and mind, While with the Father and the Son Sweet fellowship they find. No prayer is made by man alone The Holy Spirit pleads, And Jesus, on th’eternal throne, For sinners intercedes.

• [Luk 11:2] Thy Kingdom Come, On Bended Knee

  Thy kingdom come! on bended knee The passing ages pray; And faithful souls have yearned to see On earth that kingdom’s day. But the slow watches of the night Not less to God belong; And for the everlasting right The silent stars are strong. And lo, already on the hills The flags of dawn appear; Gird up your loins, ye prophet souls, Proclaim the day is near. The day in whose clear shining light All wrong shall stand revealed, When justice shall be throned in might, And every hurt be healed. When knowledge, hand in hand with peace, Shall walk the earth abroad; The day of perfect righteousness, The promised day of God.

  Day by day the manna fell; O to learn this lesson well! Still by constant mercy fed, Give me Lord, my daily bread. “Day by day,” the promise reads, Daily strength for daily needs; Cast foreboding fears away; Take the manna of today. Lord! my times are in Thy hand; All my sanguine hopes have planned, To Thy wisdom I resign, And would make Thy purpose mine. Thou my daily task shalt give; Day by day to Thee I live; So shall added years fulfill, Not my own, my Father’s will. Fond ambition, whisper not; Happy is my humble lot. Anxious, busy cares away; I’m provided for today. Oh, to live exempt from care By the energy of prayer: Strong in faith, with mind subdued, Yet elate with gratitude!

  Gently Lord, O gently lead us, Pilgrims in this vale of tears, Through the trials yet decreed us, Till our last great change appears. When temptation’s darts assail us, When in devious paths we stray, Let Thy goodness never fail us, Lead us in Thy perfect way.

For, unless you warning take, Ere you are aware, you drop Into the burning lake! Say, have you an arm like God, That you His will oppose? Fear you not that iron rod With which He breaks His foes? Can you stand in that dread day, When He judgment shall proclaim, And the earth shall melt away Like wax before the flame? Pale faced death will quickly come To drag you to His bar; Then to hear your awful doom Will fill you with despair: All your sins will round you crowd, Sins of a blood-crimson dye; Each for vengeance crying loud, And what can you reply? Though your heart be made of steel, Your forehead lined with brass, God at length will make you feel, He will not let you pass: Sinners then in vain will call, Though they now despise His grace, “Rocks and mountains on us fall, And hide us from His face!” But as yet there is a hope You may His mercy know; Though His arm is lifted up He still forbears the blow: ?Twas for sinners Jesus died, Sinners He invites to come; None who come shall be denied, He says, “There still is room.”

  “Yet there is room”: the Lamb’s bright hall of song, With its fair glory, beckons thee along; Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now. Day is declining, and the sun is low; The shadows lengthen, light makes haste to go; Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now. The bridal hall is filling for the feast; Pass in, pass in, and be the Bridegroom’s guest; Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now. It fills, it fills, that hall of jubilee! Make haste, make haste; ’tis not too full for thee; Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now. Yet there is room: still open stands the gate, The gate of love; it is not yet too late: Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now. O enter in; that banquet is for thee; That cup of everlasting joy is free; Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now. All Heaven is there, all joy! Go in, go in; The angels beckon thee the prize to win: Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now. Louder and sweeter sounds the loving call; Come, lingerer, come; enter that festal hall; Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now. Ere night that gate may close, and seal thy doom; Then the last low, long cry, “No room, no room!” No room, no room! O woeful cry, “No room!”

A love more deep than mother-love, With which His heart was overflowing, Drew Him on earth from Heav’n above, On sinners boundless grace bestowing, He in their stead a curse became, He bore the cross with all its shame; Brought full atonement by His suffering, Gave up His life for them an offering. This comfort doth the Gospel give: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive.

Yea, they shall live who this believe: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive.

I’ll go, and tell him all I’ve done, And fall before his face Unworthy to be called his son, I’ll seek a servant’s place.” His father saw him coming back, He saw, and ran, and smiled; And threw his arms around the neck Of his rebellious child. “Father, I’ve sinned—but O forgive!” I’ve heard enough, he said, Rejoice my house, my son’s alive, For whom I mourned as dead. Now let the fatted calf be slain, And spread the news around; My son was dead, but lives again, Was lost, but now is found. ’Tis thus the Lord His love reveals, To call poor sinners home; More than a father’s love He feels, And welcomes all that come.

Holy pilgrim, what for thee In a world like this remain? From thy guarded breast shall flee Fear, and shame, and doubt, and pain; Fear, the hope of Heav’n shall fly; Shame, from glory’s view retire; Doubt, in certain rapture die; Pain, in endless bliss expire.

• [Luk 15:18] Prodigal Son, The

  Out in the wilderness wild and drear, Sadly I’ve wandered for many a year, Driven by hunger and filled with fear, I will arise and go; Backward with sorrow my steps to trace, Seeking my heavenly Father’s face, Willing to take but a servant’s place, I will arise and go. Refrain Back to my Father and home, Back to my Father and home, I will arise and go Back to my Father and home. Why should I perish in dark despair, Here where there’s no one to help or care, When there is shelter and food to spare? I will arise and go; Deeply repenting the wrong I’ve done, Worthy no more to be called a son, Hoping my Father His child may own, I will arise and go. Refrain Sweet are the memories that come to me, Faces of loved ones again I see, Visions of home where I used to be, I will arise and go; Others have gone who had wandered, too, They were forgiven, were clothed anew, Why should I linger with home in view? I will arise and go. Refrain O that I never had gone astray! Life was all radiant with hope one day, Now all its treasures I’ve thrown away, Yet I’ll arise and go; Something is saying, “God loves you still, Tho’ you have treated His love so ill,” I must not wait, for the night grows chill, I will arise and go.

Create deep within us a clean heart today, Renew a right spirit, and teach us to say: Awaken, my soul, and send anthems above, To Him Who is yearning to bless you in love. Forsake not Your people though far we do roam, As hedonists, spendthrifts, abandoning home; But finally, throwing our folly aside, We see You are waiting with arms open wide. We plead Your forgiveness, our Father, we pray, O heal prideful blindness and teach us to say: How mighty the love that can conquer our sin, And open the door to the banquet within.

Then Divès sent to his merry men, To worry poor Lazarus away; They’d not the power to strike one stroke, But flung their whips away.

• [Luk 17:5] Eternal Power, Of Sea And Air!

  Eternal Power, of earth and air! Unseen, yet seen in all around, Remote, but dwelling everywhere, Though silent, heard in every sound. If e’er Thine ear in mercy bent, When wretched mortals cried to Thee, And if, indeed, Thy Son was sent, To save lost sinners such as me: Then hear me now, while, kneeling here, I lift to thee my heart and eye, And all my soul ascends in prayer, Oh, give me, give me faith! I cry. Without some glimmering in my heart, I could not raise this fervent prayer; But, oh! a stronger light impart, And in Thy mercy fix it there. While Faith is with me, I am blest; It turns my darkest night to day; But while I clasp it to my breast, I often feel it slide away. Then, cold and dark, my spirit sinks, To see my light of life depart; And every fiend of Hell, methinks, Enjoys the anguish of my heart. What shall I do, if all my love, My hopes, my toil, are cast away, And if there be no God above, To hear and bless me when I pray? If this be vain delusion all, If death be an eternal sleep, And none can hear my secret call, Or see the silent tears I weep! Oh, help me, God! For Thou alone Canst my distracted soul relieve; Forsake it not: it is Thine own, Though weak, yet longing to believe. Oh, drive these cruel doubts away; And make me know, that Thou art God! A faith, that shines by night and day, Will lighten every earthly load. If I believe that Jesus died, And, waking, rose to reign above; Then surely Sorrow, Sin, and Pride, Must yield to Peace, and Hope, and Love. And all the blessèd words He said Will strength and holy joy impart: A shield of safety o’er my head, A spring of comfort in my heart.

What beauty, like the silent stars, Hangs ever o’er thy brow; What youth, as old as Paradise, Springs deathless in thee now! Where did we learn to love thy face— The music of thy name? A leafy door beside the shore Was opened—and we came. Our lost ideals, grown more fair, Thronged back through all thy ways; Another life—a real life— Filled all our empty days. The world smiled, saying, “These are they Who live among the trees; Whose thoughts rise higher than the stars And soar beyond the trees. They do not weigh their wealth with gold Or measure it with fame; They speak a language all their own They bear a hidden name.” So weighs the world its own true life, Nor knows it as its own, While, Life of Life, above all strife God waits upon His throne; He waits until the world of things And the world of thoughts shall be Blent in that perfect thing we call The New Humanity. What joy is thine, O world within, To bear thy banners out, And there to claim in God’s dear Name The last and least redoubt! The earth is His—the heav’ns are His, He stooped to make them one When that great mystery was wrought That gave us God the Son. The world without is blind to thee, Thou world of the within, Yet through the years thy saints and seers Its oracles have been. Still trust them with thy prophecies; Still through them breathe thy breath; Till honor blossoms from the dust And life spring out of death.

Refrain Jesus is passing this way, This way, today; Jesus is passing this way, Is passing this way today. Is there a heart that has wandered? Come with thy burden today; Mercy is tenderly pleading, Jesus is passing this way. Refrain Is there a heart that is broken? Weary and sighing for rest? Come to the arms of the Savior, Pillow thy head on His breast. Refrain Come to thy only Redeemer, Come to His infinite love; Come to the gate that is leading Homeward to mansions above. Refrain
