Give to the winds thy fears

Author: Rev. John Wesley; Rev. Paul Gerhardt Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 518 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears; Hope and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head. 2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms, He gently clears thy way; Wait thou His time; so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 3 Leave to His sovereign sway To choose and to command; So shalt thou, wondering, own His way, How wise, how strong His hand! 4 Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully He the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear.

Go, labor on: spend and be spent

Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 306 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full, Forever flowing free, Forever shared, forever whole, A never-ebbing sea! 2 We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For Him no depths can drown. 3 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is He; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee. 4 The healing of His seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch Him in life's throng and press, And we are whole again. 5 O Lord and Master of us all, Whate'er our name or sign, We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call, We test our lives by Thine.

It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Rev. Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 881 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King": The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing. Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Birth; Christ Birth and Infancy of; Christ Nativity, The; Christmas; Nativity, the ; Social Progress Used With Tune: CAROL

Lead, kindly Light, amid th' encircling gloom

Author: Cardinal John H. Newman Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Appears in 1,235 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light, amid th' encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home; Lead Thou me on: Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene— one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on. I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on, O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
