The Voice Of The Christ Child

Author: Phillips Brooks Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: The earth has grown old with its burden of care Lyrics: 1 The earth has grown old with its burden of care, But at Christmas it always is young; And the soul of its music breaks forth on the air; When the song of the angels is sung. It is coming, old earth, it is coming tonight, On the snowflakes which cover thy sod, And the voice of the Christ Child tells out with delight, That we all can be children of God. 2 On the sad and the lonely, the wretched and poor, That voice of the Christ Child shall fall; And to every blind wanderer opens the door, With a sunshine and welcome for all. The feet of the humblest may walk in the field, Where the feet of the Holiest have trod, And this is the marvel to mortals revealed, That we all can be children of God. Used With Tune: [The earth has grown old with its burden of care] Text Sources: Select Songs No. 2 by Francis N. Peloubet and Hubert P. Main (New York: Biglow & Main, 1893)

The Story of Wonderful Love

Author: H. L. Gilmour Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: God so loved the world, that he gave his own Son Refrain First Line: Oh, wonderful love! such wonderful love Lyrics: 1 God so loved the world, that he gave his own Son, In the fulness of time, thus to prove That he came to redeem, and to herald the theme, The sweet story of wonderful love. Refrain: Oh, wonderful love! such wonderful love! Far surpassing our thoughts to conceive; Blessed be his dear name, for lost sinners he came, With the story of wonderful love. 2 He came to release ev’ry prisoner bound, Ev’ry fetter of sin to remove; To make the lame leap, and the sealed lips to speak The sweet story of wonderful love. [Refrain] 3 When the multitudes thronged him, all eager to hear; Every need his compassion would move; And tho’ ages have rolled this same story is told, The sweet story of wonderful love. [Refrain] 4 On Genneseret’s bosom he crossed the dark wave, While the billows for mastery strove; To his friends he drew near, quickly banished their fear, This same Jesus of wonderful love. [Refrain] 5 This sweet story, so wonderful, never was sung From the ramparts of glory above Till the angels of light thrill’d the listening night, With the story of wonderful love. [Refrain] Scripture: John 3:16 Used With Tune: [God so loved the world, that he gave his own Son]
