O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the 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 to-day. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell: O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel! Amen.

Thus supported, Thus supported, Let their zeal revive again. 4 In the midst of opposition Let them trust, O Lord, in Thee; When success attends their mission, Let Thy servants humbler be; Never leave them, Never leave them, Till Thy face in heaven they see: Amen.

Thine Arm, O Lord, in Days of Old

Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 178 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old Was strong to heal and save; It triumphed o'er disease and death, O'er darkness and the grave; To Thee they went, the blind, the deaf, The palsied and the lame, The leper with His tainted life, The sick with fevered frame. 2 And lo, Thy touch brought life and health, Gave speech, and strength, and sight; And youth renewed and frenzy calmed Owned Thee the Lord of light. And now, O Lord, be near to bless, Almighty as of yore, In crowded street, by restless couch, As by Gennes'ret's shore. 3 Be Thou our great Deliverer still, Thou Lord of life and death; Restore and quicken, soothe and bless, With Thine almighty breath. To hands that work and eyes that see Give wisdom's heavenly lore, That whole and sick, and weak and strong, May praise Thee evermore. Amen.
