Author: Anon. Appears in 29 hymnals 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!

The Lord of might, from Sinai's brow

Author: H. Heber Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord of might, from Sinai’s brow, Gave forth His voice of thunder; And Israel lay on earth below, Outstretched in fear and wonder; Beneath His feet was pitchy night, And at His left hand and His right, The rocks were rent asunder. 2 The Lord of love, on Calvary, A meek and suffering stranger, Upraised to Heaven His languid eye, In nature’s hour of danger; For us He bore the weight of woe, For us He gave His blood to flow, And met His Father’s anger. 3 The Lord of love, the Lord of might, The King of all created, Shall back return to claim His right, On clouds of glory seated; With trumpet-sound and angel-song, And Hallelujahs loud and long, O’er death and hell defeated!
