His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim; He knows the way He taketh, And I will walk with Him. 3 Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, The path to life is free; My Saviour has my treasure, And He will walk with me. Amen.

The light of God is falling

Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The light of God is falling Upon life's common way; The Master's voice still calling, "Come, walk with Me today"; No duty can seem lowly To him who lives with Thee, And all of life grows holy, O Christ of Galilee! 2 Who shares his life's pure pleasures, And walks the honest road, Who trades with heaping measures, And lifts his brother's load, Who turns the wrong down bluntly, And lends the right a hand, He dwells in God's own country, He tills the Holy Land. 3 Where human lives are thronging In toil and pain and sin, While cloistered hearts are longing To bring the Kingdom in, O Christ, the Elder Brother Of proud and beaten men, When they have found each other, Thy Kingdom will come then! 4 Thy ransomed host in glory, All souls that sin and pray, Turn toward the cross that bore Thee; "Behold the Man!" they say: And while Thy Church is pleading For all who would do good, We hear Thy true voice leading Our song of brotherhood.

The sky can still remember

Author: Bishop Phillips Brooks (1835-1893) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sky can still remember The earliest Christmas morn, When in the cold December The Saviour Christ was born. No star unfolds its glory, No trumpet wind is blown, But tells the Christmas story In music of its own. 2 O never-failing splendor! O never-silent song! Still keep the green earth tender, Still keep the gray earth strong, Still keep the brave earth dreaming Of deeds that shall be done, While children’s lives come streaming Like sunbeams from the sun. 3 O angels sweet and splendid, Throng in our hearts and sing The wonders which attended The coming of the King; Till we too, boldly pressing Where once the shepherds trod, Climb Bethlehem’s Hill of Blessing, And find the Son of God.
