The Happy Christmas Comes Once More

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals 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, Good-will. 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 Oh, let us go with quiet mind, The gentle Babe with shepherds find, To gaze on Him who gladdens them, The loveliest flower of Jesse's stem. 4 The lowly Saviour 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 Oh, 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 streams Till earth and heaven glow with it beams, Till midnight hath noon's bright lisht has won, And Jacob's Star outshines the sun. 8 Thou Patriarchs' joy, Thou Prophets' song, Thou heavenly 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. Amen. Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: DET KIMER NU TIL JULEFEST (EMMANUEL) Text Sources: Danish

Behold the Joyful Day is Nigh

Author: Johan Olof Wallin, 1779-1839 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the joyful day is nigh, And angels’ voices from on high Proclaim the news in early morn That the Good Shepherd now is born. 2 In quiet splendor forth He comes, The scattered sheep and tender lambs He'll gather, and their fold prepare With all a shepherd’s tender care. 3 So meek and mild we Him behold; And not with silver nor with gold, But by His suffering and His death, He saves us from eternal wrath. 4 His church, though small its seed may be, Shall rise a tall and mighty tree, With fruitful branches spreading o’er The earth till time shall be no more. 5 His Word shall like a gentle rain Make all the earth rejoice again, And yield a rich and blest increase In truth, and purity, and peace. 6 And heaven and earth shall pass away, Yet shall His Word remain for aye: All tongues shall soon with one accord Proclaim Him Saviour, God, and Lord. 7 Arise and shine, thy Light is come, O humankind, O Christendom; Thy glory and thy peace is here; The Saviour of the world draws near. 8 All praise and glory be to Thee For wisdom, power, and majesty; And for Thy grace and mercy, Lord, Forever be Thy name adored.

Hark, a Burst of Heavenly Music!

Appears in 22 hymnals First Line: Hark, a burst of heavenly music Lyrics: 1 Hark, a burst of heavenly music From a band of seraphs bright, Suddenly to earth descending In the calm and silent night! And the shepherds of Judea, Watching in the earliest dawn, Hear the glad and joyful tidings, "Jesus, Prince of Peace, is born!" Sweet and clear those angel voices, Echoing through the starry sky, As they chant the heavenly chorus, "Glory be to God on high!" 2 Slumbering in a lowly manger, Lies the mighty Lord of all; And before the holy Stranger See the trembling shepherds fall. He has come, the long-expected, Full of wisdom, love, and grace, To redeem His ruined creatures, To restore our fallen race. So let angels wake the chorus! So let ransomed men reply! Chanting the celestial anthem, "Glory be to God on high!" 3 And this joyful Christmas morning, Breaking o'er the world below, Tells again the wondrous story Shepherds heard so long ago. Who shall still our tuneful voices, Who the tide of praise shall stem, Which the blessed angels taught us, In the fields of Bethlehem? Hark! we hear again the chorus, Ringing through the starry sky. And we join the heavenly anthem, "Glory be to God on high!" Amen. Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: MORGENLIED

Lord Jesus Christ, in Thee Alone

Author: Johannes Schneesing Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.4.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, in Thee alone, My only hope on earth I place, For other comforter is none, No help have I but in Thy grace. There is no man nor creature here, No angel in the heavenly sphere, Who at my call can succor me. I cry to Thee, For Thee I trust implicitly. 2 My sin is very sore and great, I mourn beneath its dreadful load; Oh, free me from this heavy weight, My Saviour, through Thy precious blood; And with Thy Father for me plead That Thou hast suffered in my stead; From me the burden then is rolled. Lord, I lay hold On Thy dear promises of old. 3 And in Thy mercy now bestow True Christian faith on me, O Lord! That all the sweetness I may know Which in Thy holy cross is stored, Love Thee o'er earthly pride and self, And love my neighbor as myself; And when, at last, is come my end, Be Thou my friend, From Satan’s wiles my soul defend. 4 Glory to God in highest heaven, The Father of eternal love; For His dear Son, for sinners given, Whose watchful grace we daily prove; To God, the Holy Ghost on high; Oh, ever be His comfort nigh, And teach us, in His love and fear, To please Him here, And serve Him in the heavenly sphere!

My sins are great, where shall I flee? The blood of Jesus speaks for me; For all our sins He carried. 2 Repentant at Thy feet I fall, To Thy cross humbly clinging, O Jesus, hear me when I call, My wants before Thee bringing. My trust is in Thy grace and power; For all was finished in that hour, When Thou didst make atonement. 3 When I approach Thine altar, Lord, May I this comfort cherish, That on the cross, Thy blood was poured For me, lest I should perish. Thou didst for me God's law fulfill, That holy joy my heart might thrill When on Thy love I'm feasting. 4 Be Thou my shield 'gainst Satan's power, Whene'er he would assail me: The victor's crown, when comes death's hour, Oh, let it never fail me! Lord Jesus, Thou who savedst me, My life I would devote to Thee, To praise Thy Name forever. Topics: The Lord's Supper Used With Tune: O JESU KRIST, DU NÅDENS BRUNN

Amen. Topics: Worship
