• Anthem: As I Walked in Bethlehem – William Henry Anderson (1882-1955)

As I walked in Bethlehem
About the break of day,
Underneath a rosy sky
The little houses lay,
And much I marvelled that the town,
Veiled in morning mist
Should seem as walled in chrysophase
And roofed with amethyst.

As I walked in Bethlehem
(And there I walked alone),
Such gladness filled my beating heart
As I had never known
Broader seemed the narrow streets
As brighter grew the day
I heard the bells of heav’n ring out
From not so far away

As I walked in Bethlehem
Before the sun was high,
A woman’s crooning voice I heard,
I heard a baby’s cry.
And glory, glory! sang my soul
The while I thought and trod
Between the lifted gates of pearl,
The golden streets of God.

King of Kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth He stood,
Lord of Lords, in human vesture in the Body and the Blood
He will give to all the faithful His own Self for heavenly food.

Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way
As the light descendeth from the realms of endless day
That the pow’rs of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away.

At His feet the six-winged seraph; Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the Presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya Lord most High. Amen.

-Words translated from the Greek by G. Moultrie

The whole round world complete,
From sunrise to its setting:
When Christ is throned as Lord,
Men shall forsake their fear,
To ploughshare beat the sword,
To pruning-hook the spear.
One Lord, in one great name
Unite us all who own thee;
Cast out our pride and shame
That hinder to enthrone thee;
The world has waited long,
Has travailed long in pain;
To heal its ancient wrong,
Come, Prince of Peace, and reign. -Text by G.W. Briggs

Raise high your torches bright!

Swells loud and strong:
Go forth and join the festal throng.
Sion hears the watchmen shouting,
Her heart leaps up with joy undoubting,
She stands and waits with eager eyes;
See her Friend from heav’n descending,
Adorned with truth and grace unending!
Her light burns clear, he star doth rise.
Now come, thou precious Crown,

Where in thy supper we may share.

Come, ye faithful, raise the strain of triumphant gladness;

'Tis the Spring of Souls today, Christ hath burst His prison,
And from three days sleep in death, As a Sun hath risen. 

Now the Queen of seasons, bright with the day of splendour,
With the royal feast of feasts, comes its joy to render;
Comes to glad Jerusalem, who with true affection
Welcomes in unwearied strains Jesu's Resurrection. 

Neither might the gates of death, nor the tomb's dark portal,
Nor the watchers, nor the seal, hold Thee as a mortal;
But today amidst the twelve Thou didst stand, bestowing
That Thy peace which evermore passeth human knowing.

In Joseph's lovely garden, the Lord Christ's tomb was made,
And there His broken body to rest was gently laid.
A great rock strongly sealed it, that Death might have full sway;
But God sent down His angel to roll the stone away.
When dawn was faintly breaking across the garden fair,
Three women entered weeping, bearing spices rare.
Then spake the guardian angel, in shining raiment bright,
He whom ye seek is risen, and Death is vanquished quite!
O angel of the garden, descend to us today,
And comfort all our sadness, and drive death's fear away.
We all are sorrow-laden; speak to our hearts, we pray,
“He whom ye love is risen, and lives with Christ alway!”
O Jesus, blest Redeemer, all praise to Thee we bring;
No power of death could hold Thee, our Saviour, Lord, and King!
As Thou hast ris'n all glorious, may we one day arise,
O'er sin and death victorious, in Thy blest Paradise.
-Helen A. Dickinson

Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep. Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep, Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise. Earth shall be fair, and all her people one, Nor till that hour shall God's whole will be done. Now, even now, once more from earth to sky Peals forth in joy man's old undaunted cry: “Earth shall be fair, and all her folk be one!” -Clifford Bax (1886-1962)
