Never in all human story

Author: Joseph Pittman, 1842-1930 Hymnal: Together in Song #320 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Never in all human story was a sight so wondrous seen, Jesus Christ, the King of Glory, cradled in a manger mean, angel heralds in the sky, lowly shepherds kneeling by. 2 Then the lamp of life was lighted, brighter than the rising sun; then were heaven and earth united, peace of God on earth begun, peace the troubled world to fill, peace to those of holy will. 3 Prince of Peace! Your way before you lies through nameless grief and pain: death's dark shadow ever o'er you, but it leads to highest reign: glory that could never be, but by way of Calvary. Topics: Christmas Eve; Jesus Christ Incarnation; Jesus Christ Kingship; Peace of the World; Reconciliation; Salvation Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM
