The shepherds had an angel

Author: Christina G. Rossetti (1830-1894) Meter: Irregular Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The shepherds had an angel, The Wise Men had a star, But what have I, a little child, To guide me home from far, Where glad stars sing together, And singing angels are? 2 Those shepherds, through the lonely night, Sat watching by their sheep, Until they saw the heavenly host Who neither tire nor sleep, All singing "Glory, glory" In festival they keep. 3 Lord Jesus is my Guardian, So I can nothing lack; The lambs lie in His bosom Along life's dangerous track: The willful lambs that go astray He, bleeding, fetches back. 4 Lord, bring me nearer day by day, Till I my voice unite, And sing my "Glory, glory," With angels clad in white, All "Glory, glory," given to Thee, Through all the heavenly height. Amen. Topics: Children's Hymns Used With Tune: MAY SONG

Author: Charitie Lees de Chenez Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The King of Glory standeth Beside the heart of sin; His mighty voice commandeth The raging waves within; The floods of deepest anguish Roll backward at His will, As o'er the storm ariseth His mandate, "Peace, be still." 2 At times, with sudden glory, He speaks, and all is done; Without one stroke of battle The victory is won, While we, with joy beholding, Can scarce believe it true That e'en our kingly Jesus Can form such hearts anew. 3 O Christ, Thy love is mighty; Long-suffering is Thy grace; And glorious is the splendor That beameth from Thy face. Our hearts up-leap in gladness When we behold that love, As we go singing onward, To dwell with Thee above. Amen.
