Christ Is Born of Blessed Mary

Author: Harriet M. Kimball Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Christ is born of blessed Mary! Lyrics: 1 Christ is born of blessed Mary! Sing the wondrous life begun! Man divine and God incarnate! Israel, lo! thy Holy One! Now fulfilled the prophet’s vision; See the Child, the Lord of all, Stripped, indeed, of heav’nly splendor, Choosing for His couch a stall. 2 Thou, O Israel’s God and Savior, Verily Thyself dost hide; Clad in flesh, disguised in weakness, All Thou hast by earth supplied. Very God from everlasting As a helpless babe revealed, Mary’s breast Thy transient pillow, Mary’s arms Thy only shield! 3 Wonderful, the seer proclaimed Thee, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace, King whose everlasting kingdom Shall forevermore increase! Yet no royal sign or title Could Thy boundless grace declare Like that name of endless sweetness Thou for us alone dost bear. 4 Jesus!—Savior of His people! Jesus!—Shepherd of His flock! Well of life, and hidden manna; Wayside strength, and tower of rock! Jesus, see Thy church adoring Prostrate at Thine infant feet, Her Redeemer’s praise outpouring In that name of names most sweet!

Thou hast filled my heart with gladness through the works Thy hands have wrought; Thou hast made my life victorious, great Thy works and deep Thy thought. Thou, O Lord, on high exalted, reignest evermore in might; All Thy enemies shall perish, sin be banished from Thy sight. 3. But the good shall live before Thee, planted in Thy dwelling place. Fruitful trees and ever verdant, nourished by Thy boundless grace. In His goodness to the righteous God His righteousness displays; God my rock, my strength and refuge, just and true are all His ways.

Author: John A. Granade, 1770-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Yonder, see the Lord descending, Hark! His chariot’s drawing near; Starry worlds before Him rending, Flaming troops do now appear. Heaven shaking, earth is quaking, Mountains fly before His face, See the dead their graves forsaking, Nature sinking in a blaze. 2 Now behold the shining conquerors, Rising from their dusty beds, Fly to meet their blessed Savior, Glittering crowns upon their heads; Hear them tell their pleasing story To their smiling, lovely king, Glory, glory, glory, glory, Glory is the song they sing. 3 Once an infant in a manger, There the Lord of glory lay; No place for that little stranger But upon the oxen’s hay; Now He’s crowned with a rainbow Brighter than a sardius stone; Now He comes—the Christian sees Him Seated on His great white throne.

We Believe in God the Father

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We believe in God the Father, God Almighty, by whose plan earth and heaven sprang into being, all created things began. We believe in Christ the Savior, Son of God in human frame, virgin born, the child of Mary, upon whom the Spirit came. 2 Christ, who on the cross forsaken, like a lamb to slaughter led, suffered under Pontius Pilate, he descended to the dead. We believe in Jesus risen, heaven’s king to rule and reign, to the Father’s side ascended till as judge he comes again. 3 We believe in God the Spirit; in one church, below, above; saints of God in one communion, one in holiness and love. So by faith, our sins forgiven, Christ our Savior, Lord and Friend, we shall rise with him in glory to the life that knows no end.
