A Cry, as of Pain

Author: Sarah Geraldine Stock Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: A cry, as of pain, again and again Lyrics: 1. A cry, as of pain, again and again, Is borne o’er the deserts and wide spreading main; A cry from the lands that in darkness are lying, A cry from the hearts that in sorrow are sighing; It comes unto me; it comes unto thee; Oh what—oh what shall the answer be? 2. Oh! hark to the call; it comes unto all Whom Jesus hath rescued from sin’s deadly thrall; Come over and help us! in bondage we languish; Come over and help us! we die in our anguish!; It comes unto me; it comes unto thee; Oh what—oh what shall the answer be? 3. It comes to the soul that Christ hath made whole, The heart that is longing His name to extol; It comes with a chorus of pitiful wailing; It comes with a plea which is strong and prevailing; For Christ’s sake to me; For Christ’s sake to thee; Oh what—oh what shall the answer be? 4. We come, Lord, to Thee, Thy servants are we; Inspire Thou the answer, and true it shall be! If here we should work, or afar Thou should send us, Oh grant that Thy mercy may ever attend us, That each one may be a witness for Thee, Till all the earth shall Thy glory see!

Ring in the dawn of Easter morn, Beneath the springtime sky. 2 Bloom, lilies, on your slender stems To crown the day like diadems, And lifting up your petals white, Make Easter altars glad and bright. While ring so clear, from far and near, The bells in steeple high, And glad hearts raise their song of praise Beneath the springtime’s sky.

A Band Of Herdsmen Tarried Late

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A band of herdsmen tarried late, Through hours of night disconsolate; Around, the snow lay glistening white, And stars o’erhead were shining bright; O favored shepherds, there shall rise A brighter star in yonder skies. 2 Whence comes this glory, brighter far Than light that shines from midnight star? An angel from the Lord appears, And lo! their minds are filled with fears; O favored shepherds, wherefore fear? The messenger of God is here. 3 O band of herdsmen, list! I bring Glad tidings of a promised king; Go, in a manger ye shall find The new-born Savior of mankind; O favored shepherds, such surprise! To see the Christ in mean disguise. 4 Then stood the herdsmen all amaze, For heaven with glory was ablaze; And choirs of angels, clad in white, Awoke with song the silent night; O favored shepherds, ye were blest, To hear that heavenly song expressed. 5 To God be glory, thus they sang, While earth and Heaven with music rang; And peace abounding henceforth dwell With those on earth who please Me well; O favored shepherds, night is past, And morn, bright morn, is come at last. 6 O band of herdsmen, long ago, That song was sung on earth below, Now myriad hosts uplift the strains That first awoke on Bethlehem’s plains; O favored shepherds, round the throne, The angel’s song is now your own.
