Behold a Sower! from Afar
Author: Washington Gladden Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #659 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Behold a Sower! from afar
He goeth forth with might;
The rolling years His furrows are,
His seed, the growing light;
For all the just His Word is sown,
It springeth up alway;
The tender blade is hope’s young dawn,
The harvest, love’s new day.
2. O Lord of life, to Thee we lift
Our hearts in praise for those,
Thy prophets, who have shown Thy gift
Of grace that ever grows,
Of truth that spreads from shore to shore,
Of wisdom’s widening ray,
Of light that shineth more and more
Unto Thy perfect day.
3. Shine forth, O Light, that we may see,
With hearts all unafraid,
The meaning and the mystery
Of things that Thou hast made;
Shine forth, and let the darkling past
Beneath Thy beam grow bright;
Shine forth, and touch the future vast
With Thine untroubled light.
4. Light up Thy Word; the fettered page
From killing bondage free;
Light up our way; lead forth this age
In love’s large liberty.
O Light of light! within us dwell,
Through us Thy radiance pour,
That word and life Thy truths may tell,
And praise Thee evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

How Vast the Benefits Divine
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #688 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 How vast the benefits divine
which we in Christ possess!
We are redeemed from sin and shame,
and called to holiness.
'Tis not for works that we have done–
these all to him we owe;
but he of his electing love
salvation does bestow.
2 To you, O Christ, alone is due
all glory and renown;
no merit of our own we claim,
nor rob you of your crown.
You were our only surety
in God's redemption plan;
in you his grace was given us
before the world began.
3 Within the arms of sovereign love
we ever shall remain;
nor shall the rage of earth or hell
make God's sure counsel vain.
Each one of all the chosen race
shall surely heaven attain;
here they will share abounding grace,
and there with Jesus reign. Topics: Election; God's Providence; Jesus Christ Grace; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Elements of Worship Forgiviness and Grace Scripture: Ephesians 1:4 Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

Lord, Who at Cana's Wedding Feast
Author: Adelaide Thrupp; Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4099 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Lord, who at Cana’s wedding feast
Didst as a Guest appear,
Thou dearer far than earthly guest,
Vouchsafe Thy presence here.
For holy Thou indeed dost prove
The marriage vow to be,
Proclaiming it a type of love
Between the Church and Thee.
2. This holy vow that man can make,
The golden thread in life,
The bond that none may dare to break,
That bindeth man and wife,
Which, blest by Thee, whate’er betide,
No evil shall destroy,
Through careworn days each care divides
And doubles every joy.
3. On those who now before Thee kneel,
O Lord, Thy blessing pour,
That each may wake the other’s zeal
To love Thee more and more.
Oh, grant them here in peace to live,
In purity and love,
And, this world leaving, to receive
A crown of life above. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

The Newborn King Who Comes Today
Author: Samuel Ward Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4528 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. The newborn King who comes today
Brings tidings of great joy,
Which sin can never take away,
Nor death nor hell destroy.
Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice,
And hail this glorious dawn,
For God comes down, frail man to crown:
The Lord of Life is born!
2. He comes not as a king of earth,
In pomp and pride to reign;
He seeks a poor and humble birth,
But free from sinful stain;
Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice,
Glad hymns of triumph sing:
The Wonderful, the Counsellor,
He comes, your God and King!
3. For us He leaves His Father’s throne,
His sapphire throne on high,
And comes to dwell on earth alone,
For fallen man to die.
Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice,
All hail Messiah’s dawn:
Our God comes down, earth’s joy and crown,
The King of Love is born!
4. Glad Gentiles in their eastern home
His radiant star behold;
To God, their King, they joy to bring
Sweet incense, myrrh, and gold.
Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice,
In heaven your praises sing:
Before Him fall, the Lord of all,
Your Maker and your King!
5. We join your song, celestial throng,
Whose anthems never cease;
We tune our lyres, with angels choirs,
To hail the Prince of Peace!
Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice
All hail Immanuel’s morn:
For God comes down, frail man to crown,
To us a Child is born. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

O God, Whose Love Is Over All
Author: John H. Holmes Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4936 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. O God, whose love is over all
The children of Thy grace,
Whose rich and tender blessings fall
On every age and place,
Hear Thou the songs and prayers we raise
In eager joy to Thee,
And teach us, as we sound Thy praise,
In all things Thee to see.
2. To see Thee in the sun by day
And in the stars by night,
In waving grass and ocean spray
And leaves and flowers bright;
To hear Thy voice, like spoken word,
In every breeze that blows,
In every song of every bird,
And every brook that flows.
3. To see Thee in each quiet home
Where faith and love abide,
In school and church, where all may come
To seek Thee side by side;
To see Thee in each human life,
Each struggling human heart,
Each path by which, in eager strife,
Men seek the better part. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

O Jesus, Once a Nazareth Boy
Author: Harry M. Hedge Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5031 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. O Jesus, once a Nazareth boy,
And tempted like as we,
All inward foes help us destroy
And spotless all to be.
We trust Thee for the grace to win
The high, victorious, goal,
Where purity shall conquer sin
In Christlike self control.
2. O Jesus, Prince of life and truth,
Beneath Thy banner bright,
We dedicate our strength and youth
To battle for the right;
We give our lives with glad intent
To serve the world and Thee,
To die, to suffer and be spent
To set our brothers free.
3. In serried ranks, we fearless tread,
O Captain of us all,
Thy glory on our banners shed,
We answer to Thy call;
And where the fiercest battles press
Against the hosts of sin,
To rescue those in dire distress
We gladly enter in. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

O Lord of Life, and Love, and Power
Author: Ella S. Armitage Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5107 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. O Lord of life, and love, and power,
How joyful life might be,
If in Thy service every hour
We lived and moved with Thee;
If youth in all its bloom and might
By Thee were sanctified,
And manhood found its chief delight
In working at Thy side!
2. ’Tis ne’er too late, while life shall last,
A new life to begin;
’Tis ne’er too late to leave the past,
And break with self and sin;
And we this day, both old and young,
Would earnestly aspire
For hearts to nobler purpose strung,
And purified desire.
3. Nor for ourselves alone we plead,
But for all faithful souls
Who serve Thy cause by word or deed,
Whose names Thy book enrolls:
O speed Thy work, victorious King,
And give Thy workers might,
That thro’ the world Thy truth may ring,
And all men see Thy light. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

Thy Word Is Like a Garden, Lord
Author: Edwin Hodder Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6736 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Thy Word is like a garden, Lord,
with flowers bright and fair;
And every one who seeks may pluck
a lovely cluster there.
Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine;
and jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in its mighty depths
for every searcher there.
2. Thy Word is like a starry host:
a thousand rays of light
Are seen to guide the traveler
and make his pathway bright.
Thy Word is like an armory,
where soldiers may repair;
And find, for life’s long battle day,
all needful weapons there.
3. O may I love Thy precious Word,
may I explore the mine,
May I its fragrant flowers glean,
may light upon me shine!
O may I find my armor there!
Thy Word my trusty sword,
I’ll learn to fight with every foe
the battle of the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

Whom Jesus' Blood Doth Sanctify
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7429 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Whom Jesus’ blood doth sanctify,
Need neither sin nor fear;
Hid in our Savior’s hand we lie,
And laugh at danger near.
His guardian hand doth hold, protect,
And save, by ways unknown,
The little flock, the saints elect,
Who trust in Him alone.
2. Our prophet, priest, and king, to Thee
We joyfully submit;
And learn, in meek humility,
Our lesson at Thy feet.
Spirit and life Thy words impart,
And blessings from above;
And drop, in every listening heart
The manna of Thy love. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

While Humble Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
Author: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8362 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 While humble shepherds watched their flocks
In Bethl’hem’s plains by night,
An angel sent from Heav’n appeared,
And filled the plains with light.
"Fear not," he said (for sudden dread
Had seized their troubled mind);
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you, and all mankind.
2 "To you, in David’s town, this day
Is born, of David’s line,
The Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign:
The heav’nly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapt in swaddling-bands,
And in a manger laid."
3 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God; and thus
Addressed their joyful song:
"All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good-will is shown by Heav’n to men,
And never more shall cease." Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM
While Humble Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
