By The Thoughtless World Derided

Author: William B. Collyer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8171 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 By the thoughtless world derided, Still I love the Word of God; ’Tis a chart by which I’m guided, Often ’tis a chastening rod; ’Tis a sword that cuts asunder All my pride and vanity When abased I lie and wonder That He spares a wretch like me. 2 This confirms me when I waver, Sets my trembling judgment right, When I stray, how much soever, This is my restoring light; Satan oft and sin assail me, With temptations ever new; Then, O nothing can avail me, ’Till my bleeding Lord I view. 3 Faith I need, O Lord, bestow it, Give my laboring mind relief; Oft alas! I doubt, I know it, Help, O help my unbelief; Dearest Savior, by Thy merit May I gain a future crown; Guide, O guide me by Thy Spirit, Till these storms are overblown.

Missing

Author: Julia H. Thayer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8294 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Late at night I saw the Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Late at night I saw the Shepherd Toiling slow along the hill, Though the flock below were gathered In the fold so warm and still; On His face I saw the anguish, In His locks the drops of night, As He searched the misty valleys, As He climbed the frosty heights. 2 Just one tender lamb was missing, When He called them all by name; While the others heard and followed This one, only, never came. Oft His voice rang thro’ the darkness Of that long, long night of pain, Oft He vainly paused to listen For an answering tone again. 3 Far away the truant sleeping, By the chasm of despair; Lay unconscious of its danger, Shivering in the mountain air. But at last the Shepherd found it, Found it ere in sleep it died, Took it in His loving bosom, And His soul was satisfied. This additional verse may be used with tunes of 87.87 meter: 4 Then I saw the eastern spaces Part before a shining throng, And the golden dome of morning Seemed to shatter into song.

O How Kindly Hast Thou Led Me

Author: Thomas Grinfield Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8325 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 O how kindly hast Thou led me, Heav’nly Father, day by day; Found my dwelling, clothed and fed me, Furnished friends to cheer my way! Didst Thou bless me, didst Thou chasten, With Thy smile or with Thy rod, ’Twas that still my step might hasten Homeward, heav’nward, to my God. 2 O how slowly have I often Followed where Thy hand would draw! How Thy kindness failed to soften! How Thy chastening failed to awe! Make me for Thy rest more ready, As Thy path is longer trod; Keep me in Thy friendship steady, Till Thou call me home, my God.

Let Us All With Grateful Praises

Author: Joseph Hart, 1712-1768 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8326 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Let us all with grateful praises Celebrate the happy day, When the lovely, loving Jesus First partook of human clay: When the heavenly host assembled, Gazed with wonder from the sky: Angels joyed and devils trembled, Neither fully knowing why. 2 Long had Satan reigned imperious, Till the woman’s promised seed, Born a babe by birth mysterious, Came to bruise the serpent’s head. Crush, dear Babe, his power within us, Break our chains, and set us free. Pull down all the bars between us, ’Till we fly, and cleave to Thee. 3 Shepherds on their flocks attending, Shepherds that in nighttime watched, Saw the messenger descending From the court of Heav’n dispatched. Beams of glory decked his mission, Bursting through the veil of night. Fear possessed them at the vision: Sinners tremble at the light. 4 Dove-like meekness graced his visage; Joy and love shone round his head. Soon he cheered them with his message: Comfort flowed from all he said. “Fear not, favorites of th’Almighty, Joyful news to you I bring. You have now, in David’s city, Born, a Savior, Christ the King. 5 "Go and find the royal Stranger By these signs. A babe you’ll see, Weak, and lying in a manger, Wrapped and swaddled; that is He." Straight a host of angels glorious Round the heav’nly herald throng, Utt’ring, in harmonious chorus, Airs divine, this the song— 6 "Glory first to God be given In the highest heights; and then Peace on earth, proclaimed by Heaven, Peace, and great good will to men." Thus they sang, with rapture kindling In the shepherds’ hearts a flame, Joy and wonder sweetly mingling: All believers feel the same. 7 Lo, sweet Babe, we fall before Thee. Jesus, Thee we all adore. To Thee, kingdom, power and glory, We ascribe forevermore. Glory to our God be given In the highest heights; and then Peace on earth brought down from Heaven, Peace, and great good will to men.

Stars Of Glory, Shine More Brightly

Author: Frederick C. Husenbeth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8372 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Stars of glory, shine more brightly, Purer be the moonlight’s beam; Glide ye hours and moments lightly, Swiftly down time’s deepening stream. Bring the hour that banished sadness, Brought redemption down to earth, When the shepherds heard with gladness Tidings of a Savior’s birth. 2 See a beauteous angel soaring In the bright celestial blaze; On the shepherds low adoring Rest his mild, effulgent rays. "Fear not"—cries the heavenly stranger— Him whom ancient seers foretold, Weeping in a lonely manger, Shepherds, haste ye to behold. 3 See the shepherds quickly rising, Hastening to the humble stall, And the newborn Infant prizing, As the mighty Lord of all; Lowly now they bend before Him In His helpless infant state; Firmly, faithful they adore Him And His greatness celebrate, 4 Hark the swell of heav’nly voices Peal along the vaulted sky; Angels sing, while earth rejoices— "Glory to our God on high; Glory in the highest heaven, Peace to humble men on earth; Joy to these and bliss is given, In the great Redeemer’s birth."
