Shall We Gather at the River
Author: Robert Lowry, 1826-1899 Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Appears in 756 hymnals Refrain First Line: Yes, we'll gather at the river Lyrics: 1 Shall we gather at the river,
where bright angel feet have trod,
with its crystal tide forever
flowing by the throne of God?
Refrain:
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
the beautiful, the beautiful river;
gather with the saints at the river
that flows by the throne of God.

lay we every burden down;
grace our spirits will deliver,
and provide a robe and crown. [Refrain]
3 Soon we’ll reach the shining river,
soon our pilgrimage will cease;
soon our happy hearts will quiver
with the melody of peace. [Refrain] Topics: Eternal Life Used With Tune: HANSON PLACE

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 856 hymnals 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 wondering love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to all 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 Emmanuel! Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS

sounds through the earth and skies. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: KINGS OF ORIENT

Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 532 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I long to take my stand--
the shadow of a mighty Rock
within a weary land,
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat,
and the burden of the day.
2 Upon that cross of Jesus
my eyes at times can see
the very dying form of One
who suffered there for me;
and from my smitten heart with tears
two wonders I confess--
the wonders of redeeming love
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, your shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine
than the sunshine of his face,
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all the cross.

In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever,
till my ransomed soul shall find
rest beyond the river.
2 Near the cross, a trembling soul,
love and mercy found me;
there the bright and morning star
sheds its beams around me. [Refrain]
3 Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
bring its scenes before me;
help me walk from day to day
with its shadow o'er me. [Refrain]
4 Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
hoping, trusting ever,
till I reach the golden strand
just beyond the river. [Refrain] Topics: Lent Used With Tune: NEAR THE CROSS

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,014 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
3 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an offering far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: HAMBURG
