Hymns Found in Grace Livingston Hill Books
Grace Livingston Hill included a number of what must have been her favorite hymns within her storylines. Many of them were written over a century ago and are no longer heard in the churches of today.
Locating those hymns is not always easy, especially when she only uses a line or two to further the plot. When we find a hymn, we offer them here for you to "see" and "hear" what Grace did when adding many of them to her characters' lives. This is a work in progress.

Waken! Christian Children
Found in Some Carols for the Lord (from Katherine's Yesterday)
Words and Music by Samuel C. Hamerton, 1861
Waken! Christian children,
Up and let us sing,
With glad voice the praises
Of our newborn King.
Up! ’tis meet to welcome
With a joyous lay
Christ, the King of Glory,
Born for us today.
Come, nor fear to seek Him,
Children though we be;
Once He said of children,
“Let them come to Me.”
In a manger lowly
Sleeps the heav’nly Child;
O’er Him fondly bendeth
Mary, mother mild.
Far above that stable,
Up in Heav’n so high,
One bright star out-shineth,
Watching silently.
Fear not then to enter,
Though we cannot bring
Gold, or myrrh, or incense
Fitting for a King.
Gifts He asketh richer,
Offerings costlier still,
Yet may Christian children
Bring them if they will.
Brighter than all jewels
Shines the modest eye;
Best of gifts He loveth
Infant purity.
Haste we then to welcome
With a joyous lay
Christ, the King of Glory,
Born for us today.
