The happy Christmas comes once more

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: LHPN1913 #193 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The happy Christmas comes once more, The heavenly Guest is at the door, The blessed words the shepherds thrill, The joyous tidings: Peace, goodwill. 2 To David's city let us fly, Where angels sing beneath the sky; Through plain and village pressing near, And news from God with shepherds hear. 3 O let us go with quiet mind, The gentle Babe with shepherds find, To gaze on Him who gladdens them, The loveliest flower on Jesse's stem. 4 The lowly Savior meekly lies, Laid off the splendor of the skies; No crown bedecks His forehead fair, No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there. 5 No human glory, might, and gold, The lovely infant's form enfold; The manger and the swaddlings poor Are His, whom angels' songs adore. 6 O wake our hearts, in gladness sing, And keep our Christmas with our King, Till living song, from loving souls, Like sound of mighty water rolls! 7 O holy Child, Thy manger gleams Till earth and heaven glow with it beams, Till midnight hath noon's brightness won, And Jacob's Star outshines the sun. 8 Thou patriarchs' joy, Thou prophets' song, Thou heav'nly Day-spring looked for long, Thou Son of Man, incarnate Word, Great David's Son, great David's Lord! 9 Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest, Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast; Then David's harp-string, hushed so long, Shall swell our jubilee of song.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 2 He doth within a manger lie, A manger lie; Whose throne is set above the sky. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 3 Stillness was all the manger round, The manger round; The creature its Creator found. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 4 The wise men came, led by the star, Led by the star; Gold, myrrh and incense, brought from far. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 5 His mother is the virgin mild, The virgin mild; And He the Father's only child. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 6 Like us, in flesh of human frame, Of human frame; Unlike in sin alone He came. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 7 To fallen man Himself He bowed, Himself He bowed; That He might lift us up to God. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 8 On this most blessed Jubilee, Blest Jubilee, All glory be, O God, to Thee. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 9 The Holy Trinity be praised, Hallelujah; To God our ceaseless thanks be raised. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

O little town of Bethlehem

Author: P. Brooks Hymnal: LHPN1913 #196 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light. The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And, gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel!

Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians

Author: Anon. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #197 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians, With all your hearts, this morn! O hear the blessed tidings, "The Lord, the Christ, is born," Now brought us by the angels That stand about God's throne; Oh lovely are the voices That make such tidings known! 2 O hearken to their singing! This Child shall be your friend; The Father so hath willed it, That thus your woes should end. The Son is freely given, That in Him ye may have The Father's grace and blessing, And know He loves to save. 3 Nor deem the form too lowly That clothes Him at this hour; For know ye what it hideth? 'Tis God's almighty power. Though now within the manger So poor and weak He lies, He is the Lord of all things, He reigns above the skies. 4 Sin, death, and hell, and Satan Have lost the victory; This Child shall overthrow them, As ye shall surely see. Their wrath shall naught avail them; Fear not, their reign is o'er; This Child shall overthrow them,-- O hear, and doubt no more!
