Gentle Star Of Bethlehem

Author: Benjamin Gough Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12405 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Gentle star of Bethlehem! Lyrics: 1 Gentle star of Bethlehem! Guided by thy light I go; Lead me by thy lambent flame: Show the infant Jesus, show! Star! above all other stars outvying, Shine upon His place of rest, Humbly in a manger lying, On His virgin mother’s breast. 2 There He sleeps, the great, the lowly, Heav’n’s incarnate, earth’s desire; Gather round Him, angels holy, Bow before Him, son and sire. Eastern sages come and meet; Bend in awe which dares not stir; Pour your offerings at His feet, Gold and frankincense and myrrh! 3 Shepherds, keeping watch by night, Still "abiding in the field," See! an angel clothed in light, All in majesty revealed. Hark! the heavenly message sounding, Joyful tidings every word; Go! with hearts in gladness bounding, Go and worship Christ the Lord! 4 Earth! earth! earth! with Heaven uniting, Shout the triumphs of the day! Men with angels, join inviting Love’s own hallelujah’s lay! Angels fill the upper sky, Mortals swell the glowing strain— "Glory be to God on high Peace on earth, good will to men!" 5 Holy Jesus, in Thy meekness, Stooping from Thy throne divine, Power brought down to human weakness; Might and majesty are Thine! Babe of Bethl’em, we adore Thee! All mankind in Thee shall trust, All earth’s millions bow before Thee, And Thy foes shall lick the dust! 6 Hail! incarnate Savior, hail! God and man—the living Word; By Thy might Thou shalt prevail, Bethle’m’s babe is David’s Lord. Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, Ride in glory and renown. Conquering Jesus! God most high! Wear the universal crown! Languages: English Tune Title: FAVERSHAM

Perfect Savior, perfect friend, Perfect love that knows no end; Satisfying every call, Perfect Savior, all in all. Languages: English Tune Title: DAVAO

Thou Who Breakest Every Chain

Author: Gottfried Arnold; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12493 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Thou, who breakest every chain Lyrics: 1 Thou, who breakest every chain, Thou, who still art ever near, Thou, with whom disgrace and pain Turn to joy and heaven e’en here; Look upon our bonds and see How doth all creation groan ’Neath the yoke of vanity; Make Thy full redemption known! 2 Still we wrestle, cry, and pray, Held in bitter bondage fast, Fain our souls would break away Into higher things at last; Still our spirit clings to Thee, Will not, dare not, let Thee go, Till Thy power has set us free From the bonds that cause our woe. 3 Ours the fault it is, we own: We are slaves to self and sloth; Yet, oh, leave us not alone In the living death we loathe! Crushed beneath our burden’s weight, Crying at Thy feet we fall, Show the path, though steep and strait, Thou didst open once for all! 4 By Thy dying we were bought, Ransomed from the world and sin; By the work that Thou hast wrought, Jesu, make us pure within. Courage! long the time may seem; Yet the day is coming fast; We shall be like them that dream When our freedom dawns at last! Languages: English Tune Title: DELIVERANCE

Pensive, Doubting, Fearful Heart

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12583 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Pensive, doubting, fearful heart, Hear what Christ the Savior says; Every word should joy impart, Change thy mourning into praise: Yes, He speaks, and speaks to thee, May He help thee to believe! Then thou presently wilt see, Thou hast little cause to grieve. 2 “Fear thou not, nor be ashamed, All thy sorrows soon shall end: I who heav’n and earth have framed, Am thy husband and thy friend: I the High and Holy One, Israel’s God by all adored; As thy Savior will be known, Thy Redeemer and thy Lord. 3 “For a moment I withdrew, And thy heart was filled with pain; But My mercies I’ll renew, Thou shalt soon rejoice again: Tho’ I seem to hide My face, Very soon My wrath shall cease; ’Tis but for a moment’s space, Ending in eternal peace. 4 “When My peaceful bow appears Painted on the watery cloud; ’Tis to dissipate thy fears, Lest the earth should be o’erflowed: ’Tis an emblem too of grace, Of My covenant love a sign; Though the mountains leave their place, Thou shalt be for ever Mine. 5 "Though afflicted, tempest-tossed, Comfortless awhile thou art, Do not think thou canst be lost, Thou art graven on My heart: All thy wastes I will repair, Thou shalt be rebuilt anew; And in thee it shall appear, What a God of love can do."

What Are These Ethereal Strains?

Author: John R. Macduff Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13022 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: What are these ethereal strains Lyrics: 1 What are these ethereal strains Floating o’er Judea’s plains? Burning spirits through the sky, With their lofty minstrelsy! Hark! they break the midnight trance With the joyous utterance, "Glory to God, and peace to men, Christ is born in Bethlehem!" 2 Quench, ye types, your feeble ray, Shadows, ye may melt away! Prophecy, your work is done; Gospel ages have begun! Temple! quench your altar fires, For these radiant angel choirs To a ruined world proclaim— Christ is born in Bethlehem! 3 Pillowed is His infant head On a borrowed manger bed! He around whose throne above Angels hymned their songs of love, Now is wrapped by virgin hands In earth’s meanest swaddling bands; Once adored by seraphim, Now a Babe of Bethlehem! 4 Eastern sages from afar, Guided by a mystic star, Followed, till its luster mild Brought them to the heav’nly Child. May each providence to me Like a guiding meteor be, Bringing nearer unto Him, Once the Babe of Bethlehem! Languages: English Tune Title: HOLLINGSIDE

Who Shall Roll The Stone Away?

Author: P. C. Croll Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13180 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: "Who shall roll the stone away?" Lyrics: 1 "Who shall roll the stone away?" Thus the pious women spoke, As they went at break of day, While each heart with anguish broke; Though the way was dark throughout, Though fond hope was mixed with doubt, Yet an impulse made them brave— Holy love led to His grave. 2 Spices sweet and love they take, To their Master’s sacred tomb; Those on Him they fain would break, In yon dark sepulchral room, But their zeal is checked alone By this huge obstructing stone, And they find to their dismay That the stone was rolled away? 3 Sing we then our brightest lay, On the day our Lord arose, Since Christ’s resurrection day, Vanquished now are all our foes; Since He tasted death for us, We’re in Him victorious, And our Easter songs must own, Triumph came thro’ Christ alone.
