  The earth, O Lord, is one wide field Of all Thy chosen seed; The crop prepared its fruit to yield; The laborers are few indeed. We therefore come before Thee now With fasting, and with prayer, Beseeching of Thy love that Thou Wouldst send more laborers there. Not for our land alone we pray, Though that above the rest; The realms and islands far away, O let them all be blest. Endue the bishops of Thy flock With wisdom and with grace, Against false doctrine, like a rock, To set the heart and face. To all Thy priests Thy truth reveal, And make Thy judgments clear; Make Thou Thy deacons full of zeal, And humble, and sincere. And give their flocks a lowly mind To hear and to obey; That each and all may mercy find At Thine appearing day.

  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.

• [Luk 2:7] In The Bleak Midwinter

  In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, long ago. Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain; Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign. In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. Enough for Him, whom cherubim, worship night and day, Breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay; Enough for Him, whom angels fall before, The ox and ass and camel which adore. Angels and archangels may have gathered there, Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air; But His mother only, in her maiden bliss, Worshipped the beloved with a kiss. What can I give Him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part; Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.

  Infant holy, Infant lowly, for His bed a cattle stall; Oxen lowing, little knowing, Christ the Babe is Lord of all. Swift are winging angels singing, noels ringing, tidings bringing: Christ the Babe is Lord of all. Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping vigil till the morning new Saw the glory, heard the story, tidings of a Gospel true. Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow, praises voicing, greet the morrow: Christ the Babe was born for you.

  An Infant lay within a shed, Where ox and ass were tied and fed; Hard by there stood a maiden mild; ’Twas Mary, mother to the child. Refrain My God, my Lord, Jesus, ’Twas He was cradled thus. With voices sweet in awe to Him There sung a choir of seraphim, “Praise, worship, glory,” loud they cry, “To God whose kingdom fills the sky.” The herds, when they thereof heard say, Anon with gladness went their way To Bethlem; when they found Him there, That noble Child, full fain they were. Refrain A bright star at the self-same tide Was by the three good kings espied: Afar from eastern land they fare; A goodly present each doth bear. Refrain Before yon Babe, of high degree, They kneel and pray on bended knee, Presenting gifts with reverence, Of gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. Refrain Then Herod King, in mood unmild, Assayed to slay the royal Child; Fell many a babe at his command, But Christ was safe in Egypt-land. Refrain When thirty years were fully past This Infant, He was crossed at last, Was dead, and buried tomb within, That man eternal life might win. Refrain But, on the third day, nothing else, He rose again, as Gospel tells: Ascended to His Father-land, There sitteth He at God’s right hand. Refrain

The beasts of the meadows bowed down their head All under the moonlight so softly shed. Gloria in excelsis Deo. They worshipped the King of Creation there In the arms of the mother so passing fair. Gloria in excelsis, Gloria in excelsis Gloria in excelsis Deo. O who are these masters of ancient mould? O these are the shepherds, the lords of the fold; Gloria in excelsis Deo. They have heard from the sky of the birth of their King, They have heard all the sky with the harmony ring. Gloria in excelsis, Gloria in excelsis Gloria in excelsis Deo. The kings of the east in number three, All worship the Monarch of high degree; Gloria in excelsis Deo.

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.

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.

• [Luk 2:8] Long Ago

  Night had fallen darkly Over Judea’s hill; Shepherds watched in silence, All the flocks were still; Light dispelled the darkness, Light, then day more fair, Lo! a mighty angel, Stood in glory there. Refrain Long ago, long ago, Came that angel bright, “Fear ye not! Fear ye not!” Rang across the night. Long ago, long ago, Over a bed of hay, Angels fair, in the air, Watched where Jesus lay. Shepherds of Judea, Watching flocks by night; Patient, gentle watchers Trembled at the light, Trembled when the glory O’er the hillside spread, Trembled till the angel “Fear not,” sweetly said. Refrain Hosts of shining angels Joined the herald bright; Legions from the glory, Came that wondrous night— Came with alleluias, For a Savior born; Came to tell the weary Of redemption’s morn.

• [Luk 2:8] Long Years Ago O’er Bethlehem’s Hills

  Long years ago o’er Bethlehem’s hills Was seen a wondrous thing; As shepherds watched the sleeping flocks They heard the angels sing. The anthem rolled among the clouds When earth was hushed and still; Its notes proclaimed sweet peace on earth, To all mankind good will. Refrain “Glory to God in the highest,” The angels’ song resounds, “Glory to God in the highest!” That song is sung by rich and poor, Where’er the Christ is known; ’Tis sung in words, and sung in deeds, Which bind all hearts in one. Angels are still the choristers, But we the shepherds are, To bear the message which they bring, To those both near and far: Refrain

• [Luk 2:8] O Holy Night

  O holy night, the stars are brightly shining; It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth! Long lay the world in sin and error pining, Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born! O night, O holy night, O night divine! Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here came the wise men from Orient land. The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger, In all our trials born to be our Friend! He knows our need—to our weakness is no stranger. Behold your King; before Him lowly bend! Behold your King; before Him lowly bend! Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is love and His Gospel is peace. Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother And in His Name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise His holy Name! Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever! His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim! His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim!

• [Luk 2:8] O Sing A Song Of Bethlehem

  O sing a song of Bethlehem, of shepherds watching there, And of the news that came to them from angels in the air. The light that shone on Bethlehem fills all the world today; Of Jesus’ birth and peace on earth the angels sing alway. O sing a song of Nazareth, of sunny days of joy; O sing of fragrant flowers’ breath, and of the sinless Boy. For now the flowers of Nazareth in every heart may grow; Now spreads the fame of His dear Name on all the winds that blow. O sing a song of Galilee, of lake and woods and hill, Of Him Who walked upon the sea and bade the waves be still. For though like waves on Galilee, dark seas of trouble roll, When faith has heard the Master’s Word, falls peace upon the soul. O sing a song of Calvary, its glory and dismay, Of Him Who hung upon the tree, and took our sins away. For He Who died on Calvary is risen from the grave, And Christ, our Lord, by Heaven adored, is mighty now to save.

• [Luk 2:8] Shepherds Of Bethlehem, The

  At Bethlehem, in wintry cold, The faithful shepherds guard their fold: The crowded town is sunk in sleep, While midnight vigil still they keep. And rocks and hills are ringing, While they, to shield their sheep from harm, And keep themselves awake and warm, Are cheerily, loudly singing, Refrain “Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Praise the Lord!” Their fleecy flocks are gathered round, All lying on the frosty ground, And new-born lambkins may be seen, Close nestling, here and there, between. Their shepherds thus surrounding, With tuneful heart and wakeful ear, Their livelong night they love to hear, The rocks and hills resounding, Refrain When lo! an angel, from on high, Came sailing down the starry sky; A glory all around him shined, And left a track of light behind. His way thus swiftly winging, From far he smiles with radiant joy, That shepherds thus their voice employ, All night in sweetly singing— Refrain “Fear not,” said he—for at the sight The simple shepherds start with fright— “Fear not, for unto you this morn In David’s town a Babe is born: Tis Christ, your Lord and Savior, Whose reign, when He is crownèd King, Shall make both men and angels sing, For ever and for ever— Refrain While yet he spake, in robes of flame A flying cloud of angels came; Upon the midnight air loud rang Their golden harps, while thus they sang: “To God on high be glory: And peace on earth, good will to men!” Angels and shepherds joining then, Thus hail the wondrous story, Refrain Their leader then those hosts obey, Unfold their wings and soar away Yet loud their golden strings they ply All singing, harping, as they fly; Chorus to chorus calling. Till past the stars they disappear, That song the listening shepherds hear, Still faint and fainter falling, Refrain Then straight they go to Bethlehem, Their flocks all following after them; They find the Babe in manger laid, With Joseph and the mother-maid; Before Him lowly kneeling, They tell their tale: the infant King Smiles sweetly on them while they sing, With joy that cavern thrilling, Refrain Returning, they the tale repeat Through all the long day-dawning street; From door and window crowds look out, To hear their strange, yet joyous shout. Their sheep still follow, bleating; And all that hear the shepherds’ song, With burning heart and tingling tongue, Send on the angelic greeting— Refrain And every Christmas-tide, that song More numerous sounds, and yet more strong; From age to age, from pole to pole, It rolls along, and yet shall roll: Till, crowned with splendor glorious, That Babe shall come again, a King, And saints and angels all shall sing, In endless, boundless chorus— Refrain

  To Thee, O God, the shepherd kings Their earliest homage paid, And wafted upon angel wings Their worship was conveyed. And they who “watched their flocks by night” Were first to learn Thy grace, Were first to seek by dawning light, Their Savior’s dwelling place. The hills and vales, the woods and streams, The fruits and flowers, are Thine; Where’er the sun can send its beams Or the mild moon can shine. By Thee, the spring puts forth its leaves, By Thee, comes down the rain, By Thee, the yellow harvest sheaves Stand ripening on the plain. When winter comes in storm and wrath, Thy soothing voice is heard; As round the farmer’s peaceful hearth Is read Thy holy Word. Thus are we fostered by Thy care, Supported by Thy hand; Our heritage is rich and fair, And this Thy chosen land.
