December Hymn of the Month

Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light

Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light
And usher in the morning
Ye shepherds shrink not with afright
But hear the angel’s warning
This Child, now weak in infancy
Our confidence and joy shall be
The power of Satan breaking
Our peace eternal making

NOVEMBER HYMN OF THE MONTH

Jesus Lives and So Shall I

Jesus lives and so shall I
Death, thy sting is gone forever
He, for me, hath deigned to die
Lives the bands of death to sever
He shall raise me from the dust
Jesus is my hope and trust

Because the month is a short one (with Thanksgiving week off) all the classes will need to know only the first verse above.

The test will be the week before the break
