Raised between the Earth and Heaven

Author: Wharton Buchanan Smith Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Raised between the earth and heaven, Now our bells are set on high, In the Name of Him Who giveth Skill, and strength, and industry. For His praise we meekly place it As a gift beneath His throne; All their sweet and noblest music Shall resound for Him alone. 2 Faithful men afar shall listen, 'Mid their daily toil or rest, While the melody shall bid them Love the Church where all are blest. They who languish, sick and lonely, Shall be minded, as they sigh, Of the Church's one communion, God's true home and family. 3 When the spirits of the faithful Pass away to light and peace; Solemn tones shall then forewarn us, Soon our life and work must cease. May these loud reverberations, Pealing forth in grand accord, Lift our hearts through joy and sorrow To Thy throne, most gracious Lord. Amen.

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.
