I know that My Redeemer Lives

The counsel of His grace in me, He surely shall fulfill. 4 Jesus, I hang upon Thy word: I steadfastly believe Thou wilt return, and claim me, Lord, And to Thyself receive.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Appears in 870 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light: The hopes and fears Of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary; And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing To God our King, And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel. Topics: Church Festivals Christmas; Childhood Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS

From Greenland's icy Mountains

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 1,691 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain,-- They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 Can we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Can we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim Till each remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. 3 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign.

There is a Fountain filled with Blood

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Appears in 2,538 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners, plung'd beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, tho' vile as he, Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more, Be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be, till I die, And shall be, till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave, Lies silent in the grave.

Conquering Kings their Titles Take

Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Conquering kings their titles take From the foes they captive make: Jesus, by a nobler deed, From the thousands He hath freed. 2 Yes; not other name is given Unto mortals under heaven, Which can make the dead arise, And exalt them to the skies. 3 That which Christ so hardly wrought, That which He so dearly bought, That salvation, mortals, say, Will ye madly cast away? 4 Rather gladly for that Name Bear the cross, endure the shame; Joyfully for Him to die, Is not death, but victory. 5 Jesus, Who dost condescend To be called the sinner’s Friend, Hear us as to Thee we pray, Glorying in Thy Name today.
