Author: Thomas Campbell Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: A star appeared, and peaceful threw Lyrics: 1 A star appeared, and peaceful threw Around its holy ray; It caught the faithful Magi’s view, And led the wondrous way, From far famed Persia’s smiling bowers, Fair land of beauty, fruits and flowers. 2 Each heart throughout the gazing throng What anxious gladness fills, While slowly moved that star along O’er Judah’s sacred hills, And softly fixed its mellow light On distant Bethlehem’s joyful night! 3 There, unknown to the rich and great, Or perfumed halls of state, Where shining golden lamps so bright Scoff at the silent night, Hear music’s notes, so holy, sweet, They rise and fall ’mid joy complete. 4 The Prince of Peace, so young, so fair, In lowly state He slept; While near, with kind parental care, The mother’s watch was kept. Let sweetest harp of Judah rise, And Gentile hymns climb to the skies! Used With Tune: MEIRINGEN

The Darkness

Author: Matthew Bridges Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O’er hill and vale and temple proud Lyrics: 1 O’er hill and vale and temple proud When Jesus died for man, There hung in air a sable shroud To mark the bitter ban— The ban of death on sinners laid, The dreadful debt Emmanuel paid! 2 Well might the sun of nature hide Its matchless lamp of light, And veil, while its Creator died, All radiancy in night: How could the smallest star illume The depth of such infernal gloom! 3 Oh! direful darkness—unalloyed, Of horror most profound— Emblem of what the cross destroyed And leveled with the ground; When, bursting through the reams of hell, It beamed with light ineffable! 4 Lord! by that darkness, from this soul All darkness roll away— Nor let a shade of sin control My progress t’wards the day: That day, with an unclouded sky, Of Heav’n—in full eternity!

It Will Not Come

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: "It will not come, it will not come" Lyrics: 1 "It will not come, it will not come"; They reck not of the flood. And wherefore with such weary toil Build up that pile of wood? How should thine ark e’er reach the sea? How on this midland floated be? 2 The sea’s great gulfs are broken up; Heav’n’s windows opened are; For forty days the rain prevails; The mountains disappear. The faithless die; the ark, their scorn, Safe on the flood, their grave, is borne. 3 Lord, give us willing hearts to hear Not this world’s voice, but Thine, To fear Thy warnings, and to love Thy means of grace divine; Go in Thine ark, and there abide, Unscarred by wind and foaming tide. 4 So when another flood shall come— Not water, but of fire— When in the billowy surge of flame, All nature shall expire, We in Thy heav’nly ark may be, Anchored on Ararat with Thee.

Hymn For Christmas

Author: Nathaniel H. Carter, 1837-1830 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: In hymns of praise, eternal God! Lyrics: 1 In hymns of praise, eternal God! When Thy creating hand Stretched out the arch of Heav’n abroad, And meted sea and land, The morning stars together sung, And shouts of joy from angels sung. 2 The Earth’s prime hour, more joyous far Was that eventful morn, When brilliant beam from Bethlehem’s star Announced a Savior born! Then sweeter strains from Heaven began— "Glory to God—good will to man." 3 Babe of the manger! Can it be? Art Thou the Son of God? Shall subject nations bow the knee, And kings obey Thy nod? Shall thrones and monarchs prostrate fall Before the tenant of a stall? 4 ’Tis He! the hymning seraphs cry, While hov’ring, drawn to earth; ’Tis He! the shepherds’ songs reply, Hail! hail Emmanuel’s birth! The rod of peace those hands shall bear, That brow a crown of glory wear! 5 ’Tis He! the eastern sages sing, And spread their golden hoard; ’Tis He! the hills of Sion ring, Hosanna to the Lord! The Prince of long prophetic years Today in Bethlehem appears! 6 He comes! The Conqueror’s march begins, No blood His banner stains; He comes to save the world from sins, And break the captive’s chains! The poor, the sick, and blind shall bless The Prince of Peace and Righteousness. 7 Though now in swaddling-clothes He lies, All hearts His power shall own, When He, with legions of the skies, The clouds of Heav’n His throne, Shall come to judge the quick and dead, And strike a trembling world with dread.
