I know not, ah, I know not what joys await us there, what radiancy of glory, what bliss beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, all jubilant with song, and bright with many angels, and all the martyr throng; the prince is ever in them, the daylight is serene; the pastures of the blessèd are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David, and there, from care released, the shout of them that triumph, the song of them that feast; and they, who with their leader have fully run the race, are robed in white for ever before their Saviour's face. 4 O sweet and blessèd country, the home of God's elect! O sweet and blessèd country that eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us to that dear land of rest; who art, with God the Father and Spirit, ever blest.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick Henry Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 686 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:33 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing. Our helper he, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe. His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, were not the right man on our side, the man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he. Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same, and he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us. The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him. His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure. One little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth. The Spirit and the gifts are ours through him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also. The body they may kill; God's truth abideth still. His kingdom is forever.

Shepherds quake at the sight, glories stream from heaven afar, heav'nly hosts sing alleluia: Christ the Saviour is born. 3 Silent night, holy night.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 419 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:26-35 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David’s city stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby in a manger for a bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 Jesus came to earth from heaven, who is God and Head of all, Sheltered in a rustic stable, cradles in a common stall: With the poor and meek and lowly lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 And through all this wondrous childhood Jesus honors and obeyed, Loved and watched the tender mother whose strong arms a cradle made. So, like Jesus, we should be serving God obediently. 4 Jesus is our childhood’s pattern, daily like us lived and grew, Jesus, little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles and comfort knew. Jesus felt the pain of sadness, and the joyous lift of gladness. 5 We at last shall meet our Savior, fount of God's redeeming grace, For that Child so dear and gentle, reigns within a glorious place; Leading all God's children on to the heaven where saints have gone.

The arms of love that compass me, hold all the human race, hold all the human race. 5 His only righteousness I show, his saving grace proclaim; 'tis all my business here below to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!' to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!' 6 Happy, if with my latest breath I may but gasp his name; preach him to all, and cry in death: 'Behold, behold the Lamb!'
