Reaching far as man is found;

For your Prophet, Priest, and King!

Glory be to God most high!"

652 Long years ago, on Christmas morn.
653 Stars all bright are beaming.
654 All my heart this night.
655 Love came down at Christmas.
656 Ring out the bells.

657 See amid the winter's snow.

658 Like silver lamps.

659 When Christ was born.

J. Cawood

660 The first Nowell.
661 A great and mighty wonder.
662 Carol, sweetly carol.
663 Cradled all lowly.

664 In the field with their flocks.
665 Saw you never.

666 Hark! a burst of heavenly music.
667 Silent night, holy night.

668 Good Christian men, rejoice.
669 We, three Kings.

mf 2 O Son of God, Whose glory cast

Its light upon Thy champion's face,
Revealing to his eyes at last

The marvels of the holiest place;
mf 3 Be ours the faith that sees Thee stand
Beside the throne of God on high,
To succour with Thy strong right hand
Thy soldiers when to Thee they cry.

61*

mp4 Be ours the hope, resigned and meek,
That trusts the spirit to Thy care,
That longs Thy face in heaven to seek,
And dwell with Thee in glory there.
f5 Be ours the love, divine and free,
dim Which asks forgiveness for our foes;
Which draws, in life, its life from Thee,
p And, dying, finds in Thee repose.

St. John the Evangelist

L. M.

J. F. Thrupp

mf 2 Grant us, O King of mercy, still

To feel Thy presence from above,
And in Thy word and in Thy will

To hear Thy voice and know Thy love;

To find our rest beneath Thy throne,
And look in certain hope to Thee.

4 To Thee, O Jesus, Light of Light,

Whom as their King the saints adore,
cr Thou strength and refuge in the fight,
Be laud and glory evermore.
R. Heber

3 And when the toils of life are done,
And nature waits Thy just decree,
*Either tune on this page may be used for this hymn.

By cruel Her-od's ruth-less sword Those precious ones did win.

A- -MEN.

p 2 Baptized in their own blood,
Earth's untried perils o'er,
They passed unconsciously the flood,
cr And safely gained the shore.

mf 3 Glory to Thee for all

63

The ransomed infant band,

Who since that hour have heard Thy call,
And reached the quiet land.

mf 4 0 that our hearts within,

Like theirs, were pure and bright;
O that as free from deeds of sin
We shrank not from Thy sight.

mf 5 Lord, help us every hour

Thy cleansing grace to claim;
cr In life to glorify Thy power,
In death to praise Thy Name.

ST. MICHAEL Daye's Psalter

mf 2 The Light of Light divine,

True Brightness undefiled,

He bears for us the shame of sin,
A holy, spotless Child.

mf 3 To-day the Name is Thine,

At which we bend the knee;
They called Thee Jesus, Child divine!
Our Jesus deign to be.
