• [Mat 2:1] Bright And Glorious Is The Sky

  Bright and glorious is the sky, Radiant are the heavens high Where the golden stars were shining And their rays to earth inclining, Beckoning us to Heaven above, Beckoning us to Heaven above. On that holy Christmas night Through the darkness beamed a light All the stars above were paling, All their luster slowly failing, As the Christmas star drew nigh, As the Christmas star drew nigh. Sages from the East afar, When they saw this wondrous star, Went to the find the King of nations, And to offer their oblations Unto Him as Lord and King, Unto Him as Lord and King. Him they found in Bethlehem, Yet He wore no diadem; They but saw a maiden lowly With an Infant pure and holy, Resting in her loving arms, Resting in her loving arms. Guided by the star they found Him Whose praise the ages sound, We too have a star to guide us Which forever will provide us With the light to find our Lord, With the light to find our Lord. As a star God’s holy Word Leads us to our King and Lord; Brightly from its sacred pages Shall this light throughout the ages Shine upon our path of life, Shine upon our path of life.

  Bright was the guiding star that led, With mild, benignant ray, The Gentiles to the lowly shed, Where the Redeemer lay. But lo! a brighter, clearer, light Now points to His abode; It shines, through sin and sorrow’s night, To guide us to our God. Oh! haste to follow where it leads The gracious call obey; Be rugged wilds, or flowery meads, The Christian’s destined way. Oh! gladly tread the narrow path, While light and grace are given; Who meekly follow Christ on earth Shall reign with Him in Heaven.

• [Mat 2:1] I Am So Glad Each Christmas Eve

  I am so glad each Christmas Eve, The night of Jesus’ birth! Then like the sun the Star shone forth, And angels sang on earth. The little Child in Bethlehem, He was a King indeed! For He came down from Heaven above To help a world in need. He dwells again in heaven’s realm, The Son of God today; And still He loves His little ones And hears them when they pray. I am so glad on Christmas Eve! His praises then I sing; He opens then for every child The palace of the King. When mother trims the Christmas tree Which fills the room with light, She tells me of the wondrous Star That made the dark world bright. She says the Star is shining still, And never will grow dim; And if it shines upon my way, It leads me up to Him. And so I love each Christmas Eve And I love Jesus, too; And that He loves me every day I know so well is true.

• [Mat 2:1] Magi Came From Lands Afar, The

  The Magi came from lands afar, Led by the guidance of a star, They journeyed on to Bethlehem, To seek the Savior, born for them. And there in humble cottage-home, Unto the heavenly Child they come; And low before Him bend the knee In love and deep humility. Nor do they come with empty hands— They bring the treasure of their lands; Their costliest gifts they offer thence Of gold and myrrh and frankincense. They sought the Light, in darkness drear, And lo, the morn broke full and clear; The very Light of Light they see, Though hidden in obscurity. Jesus, our guiding Star, be nigh Throughout our life, and when we die, To lead us safely in the way Which ends at last in perfect day!

• [Mat 2:1] O’er The Hill And O’er The Vale

  O’er the hill and o’er the vale Come three kings together, Caring nought for snow and hail, Cold, and wind, and weather; Now on Persia’s sandy plains, Now where Tigris swells with rains, They their camels tether; Now through Syrian lands they go, Now through Moab, faint and slow, Now through Edom’s heather. O’er the hill and o’er the vale, Each king bears a present: Wise men go a Child to hail, Monarchs seek a peasant; And a star in front proceeds, Over rocks and rivers leads, Shines with beams incessant. Therefore onward, onward still! Ford the stream and climb the hills: Love makes all things pleasant. He is God ye go to meet; Therefore incense proffer. He is King ye go to greet: Gold is in your coffer. Also Man He comes to share Every woe that man can bear: Tempter, railer, scoffer; Therefore now against the day, In the grave where Him they lay, Myrrh ye also offer.

• [Mat 2:1] Saw You Never, In The Twilight?

  Saw you never, in the twilight, When the sun had left the skies, Up in Heav’n the clear stars shining Through the gloom, like silver eyes? So of old the wise men, watching, Saw a little stranger star, And they knew the King was given, And they followed it from afar. Heard you never of the story How they crossed the desert wild, Journeyed on by plain and mountain, Till they found the holy Child? How they opened all their treasure, Kneeling to that infant King; Gave the gold and fragrant incense, Gave the myrrh in offering? Know ye not that lowly Baby Was the bright and morning Star? He Who came to light the Gentiles, And the darkened isles afar? And we, too, may seek His cradle; There our hearts’ best treasures bring; Love, and faith, and true devotion For our Savior, God and King.

We may read, we may learn, from His birth to His grave, The teachings of peace and of love; For this is the King Who is mighty to save; His grace and His love we may prove. Refrain Lo! the star in the East! let us follow it still, No pilgrim it e’er led astray; Let us bow at His feet, let us study His will, And ever His precepts obey. What treasures have we to present to our King, As an offering fitting and true? Our hearts and ourselves, blessèd Jesus, we bring, Accept us, and form us anew. Refrain Lo! the star in the East! yet with far wider rays, Shall its glorious shining go forth; And earnestly plead, God would hasten the day, When His knowledge shall fill all the earth. We would lift up our prayers, we would strengthen our hands, Would send out our means all abroad, Till the glorious Gospel is heard in all lands, And the world is converted to God. Refrain

O where? O where? O where is the King? O where?

  When from the East the wise men came, Led by the Star of Bethlehem, The gifts they brought to Jesus were Of gold and frankincense and myrrh. Bright gold of Ophir, passing fine, Proclaims a king of royal line; For David’s son in David’s town, Is born the heir of David’s crown. The incense clouds, with fragrance rare, The presence of a God declare; Lo! kings in adoration fall, For Mary’s Son is Lord of all. The myrrh, with bitter taste, foreshows, A life of sorrows, wounds, and woes; The deadly cup, that overran With anguish for the Son of Man.

Behold! the heavenly Sower Goes forth with better seed, The Word of sure salvation, With feet and hands that bleed; Here in His Church ’tis scattered, Our spirits are the soil; Then let an ample fruitage Repay His pain and toil. Oh, beauteous is the harvest, Wherein all goodness thrives, And this the true thanksgiving, The first fruits of our lives. Within a hallowed acre He sows yet other grain, When peaceful earth receiveth The dead He died to gain; For though the growth be hidden, We know that they shall rise; Yea even now they ripen In sunny Paradise. O summer land of harvest, O fields forever white With souls that wear Christ’s raiment, With crowns of golden light. One day the heavenly Sower Shall reap where He hath sown, And come again rejoicing, And with Him bring His own; And then the fan of judgment Shall winnow from His floor The chaff into the furnace That flameth evermore. O holy, awful Reaper, Have mercy in the day, Thou puttest in the sickle, And cast us not away.

• [Mat 13:8] Sow The Seed Beside All Waters

  Sow the seed beside all waters, North and south and east and west, That our toiling sons and daughters In the harvest may be blessed. Tell the tidings of salvation ’Mid the storms of Labrador; Speak the word of consolation By the lone Pacific shore. Where the forests old are falling, Yielding place to lawn and lea; Where the fisher plies his calling ’Mid the perils of the sea; Where the tide of commerce rushes Through the city’s crowded street, And unpitying Mammon crushes Poor and weak beneath his feet. Where our brothers, sowing, reaping, Delving for the hidden ore, Now with joy and now with weeping Labor to increase their store; Where the stranger wanders lonely In the homeless wilderness, Tell of Jesus, Jesus only, Who alone can save and bless. Tell how tenderly He careth For the weary and oppressed, How their burdens all He beareth, As He leads them to His rest; Tell that He, the Lord from heaven, Died for all and lives again, All through Him may be forgiven, All with Him in glory reign. Tell His love beyond all telling, Seeking, following those who flee, Love rebellious hearts compelling To His service glad and free. Thus a precious harvest gather, North and south and east and west, To the glory of the Father, Son, and Spirit ever blest.

  Almighty God, Your Word is cast Like seed into the ground; Now let the dew of Heav’n descend, And righteous fruits abound. Let not the foe of Christ and man This holy seed remove, But give it root in ev’ry heart To bring forth fruits of love. Let not the world’s deceitful cares The rising plant destroy. But let it yield a hundredfold The fruits of peace and joy. Nor let Your Word so kindly sent To raise us to Your throne Return to You, and sadly tell That we reject Your Son. Oft as the precious seed is sown, Your quick’ning grace bestow, That all whose souls the truth receive, Its saving power may know. Great God, come down and on Your Word Your mighty power bestow, That all who hear the joyful sound, Your saving grace may know.

  Little drops of water, Little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean And the beauteous land. And the little moments, Humble though they be, Make the mighty ages Of eternity. Little deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Make our earth an Eden, Like the Heaven above. So our little errors Lead the soul away, From the paths of virtue Into sin to stray. Little seeds of mercy Sown by youthful hands, Grow to bless the nations Far in heathen lands. Glory then for ever Be to Father, Son, With the Holy Spirit, Blessèd Three in One.

• [Mat 13:31] That Cause Can Neither Be Lost Nor Stayed

  That cause can never be lost nor stayed Which takes the course of what God has made; And is not trusting in walls and towers, But slowly growing from seeds to flowers. Each noble service that men have wrought Was first conceived as a fruitful thought; Each worthy cause with a future glorious By quietly growing becomes victorious. Thereby itself like a tree it shows: That high it reaches, as deep it grows; And when the storms are its branches shaking, It deeper root in the soil is taking. Be then no more by a storm dismayed, For by it the full grown seeds are laid; And though the tree by its might it shatters, What then, if thousands of seeds it scatters?

  We plow the fields, and scatter the good seed on the land, But it is fed and watered by God’s almighty hand; He sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain, The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain. Refrain All good gifts around us Are sent from heaven above, Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord For all His love.

  Lord of the harvest, once again, We thank Thee for the ripened grain; For crops safe carried, sent to cheer Thy servants through another year; For all sweet holy thoughts supplied By seed time, and by harvest tide. The bare dead grain, in autumn sown, Its robe of vernal green it puts on; Glad from its wintry grave it springs, Fresh garnished by the King of kings; So, Lord, to those who sleep in Thee Shall new and glorious bodies be. Nor vainly of Thy Word we ask A lesson from the reaper’s task: So shall Thine angels issue forth: The tares be burnt; the just of earth, To wind and storm exposed no more, Be gathered to their Father’s store. Daily, O Lord, our prayers be said, As Thou hast taught, for daily bread; But not alone our bodies feed, Supply our fainting spirits’ need: O Bread of life, from day to day Be Thou their Comfort, Food, and Stay.

Late I found a barren field, The harvest past, my search revealed. Others golden sheaves had gained, Only stubble for me remained. Refrain Forth to the harvest field a-way! Gather your handfuls while you may; All day long in the field a-bide, Gleaning close by the reapers’ side. Careless gleaner, what hast thou here; These faded flow’rs and leaflets sere? Hungry and thirsty, tell me, pray, Where, oh, where hast thou gleaned today? All day long in shady bow’rs, I’ve gaily sought earth’s fairest flow’rs; Now, alas! too late I see All I’ve gathered is vanity. Refrain Burdened gleaner, thy sheaves I see; Indeed thou must aweary be! Singing along the homeward way, Glad one, where hast thou gleaned today? Stay me not, till day is done I’ve gathered handfuls one by one; Here and there for me they fall, Close by the reap’rs I’ve found them all. Refrain

  Winter in his heart of gloom Sings the song of coming bloom: So over death our souls shall sing ’Lays of the eternal spring.

Bodies of the saints, whose bones Rest beneath sepulchral stones, Or are lost on every wind, All, those messengers shall find. All from earth to Heaven shall soar In that flesh which once they wore, Deathless now and glorified, Like their Lord and at His side. This is life’s eternal spring! This the coming joy we sing! Look we ever toward this day, Be it near or far away! ’Mid the sorrow and the strife ’Tis the music of our life, And the song hath this refrain— Our Redeemer comes again!

For soon the reaping time will come, And angels shout the harvest home. To love my sins—a saint to appear, To grow with wheat—yet be a tare, May serve me while I live below, Where tares and wheat together grow: But soon the reaping time will come, And angels shout the harvest home.

• [Mat 13:44] God In Heaven Hath A Treasure

  God in heaven hath a treasure, riches none may count or tell; Hath a deep eternal pleasure, Christ, the Son, He loveth well. God hath here on earth a treasure, none but He its price may know— Deep, unfathomable pleasure, Christ revealed in saints below. Christ, the Light that fills the heavens, shining forth on earth beneath, Through His Spirit freely given, Light of life ’midst shades of death; Down from heaven’s unclouded glory God Himself the treasure brought, Closing thus His love’s sweet story with His sweetest, deepest thought. God in tongues of fire descending, chosen vessels thus to fill With the treasure never ending, ever spent—unfailing still. Still unwasted, undiminished, though the days of dearth wear on, Store eternally unfinished, fresh, as if but now begun. Earthen vessels, marred, unsightly, but the treasure as of old, Fresh from glory, gleaming brightly, heaven’s undimmed, unchanging gold. God’s own hand the vessel filling from the glory far above, Longing hearts forever stilling with those riches of His love. Thus, through earthen vessels only, shining forth in ceaseless grace, Reaching weary hearts and lonely, beams the light in Jesus’ face. Vessels worthless, broken, bearing through the hungry ages on, Riches given with hand unsparing, God’s great gift, His precious Son. Thus though worn, and tried, and tempted, glorious calling, saint, is thine; Let the Lord but find thee emptied, living branch in Christ the Vine! Vessels of the world’s despising, vessels weak, and poor, and base; Bearing wealth God’s heart is prizing, glory from Christ’s blessèd face. Oh, to be but emptier, lowlier, mean, unnoticed, and unknown. And to God a vessel holier, filled with Christ, and Christ alone! Naught of earth to cloud the glory, naught of self the light to dim. Telling forth His wondrous story, emptied—to be filled with Him.

God’s great power guards every hour; Earth and all its depths adore Him, Silent bow before Him. Evil world, I leave thee; Thou canst not deceive me, Thine appeal is vain. Sin that once did bind me, Get thee far behind me, Come not forth again. Past thy hour, O pride and power; Sinful life, thy bonds I sever, Leave thee now forever. Hence, all thought of sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within; Yea, whatever we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure!
