Not Worthy, Lord, to Gather up the Crumbs

Author: E. H. Bickersteth Hymnal: CCHS1916 #60 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs With trembling hand, that from Thy table fall, A weary, heavy-laden sinner comes To plead Thy promise and obey Thy call. 2 I am not worthy to be thought Thy child, Nor sit the last and lowest at Thy board; Too long a wanderer, and too oft beguiled, I only ask one reconciling word. 3 One word from Thee, my Lord, one smile, one look, And I could face the cold, rough world again; And with that treasure in my heart could brook The wrath of devils and the scorn of men. 4 And is not mercy Thy prerogative-- Free mercy boundless, fathomless, divine? Me, Lord, the chief of sinners, me forgive, And Thine the greater glory, only Thine. 5 I hear Thy voice; Thou bidst me come and rest: I come, I kneel, I clasp Thy piercèd feet: Thou bid'st me take my place, a welcome guest Among Thy saints, and of Thy banquet eat. 6 My praise can only breathe itself in prayer. My prayer can only lose itself in Thee; Dwell Thou for ever in my heart, and there, Lord, let me sup with Thee: sup Thou with me.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: CCHS1916 #62 (1918) 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 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

Brightest and Best

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: CCHS1916 #68 (1918) First Line: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the east, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Savior of all. 3 Shall we not yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and off'rings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the east, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
