Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Hymnal: HWC1986 #127 (1986) Meter: Irregular First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown, When Thou camest to earth for me; But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room For Thy holy nativity. Refrain: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus - There is room in my heart for Thee! 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal decree; But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. [Refrain] 3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee. [Refrain] 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word That should set Thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn They bore Thee to Calvary. [Refrain] 5 When the heav'ns shall ring, and the angels sing At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room - There is room at My side for thee." My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest and callest for me!

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: HWC1986 #128 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold; "Peace on the earth, good-will to men, From heav'n's all-gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still thru the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hov'ring wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hast'ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold, When the new heav'n and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.

Refrain: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. 2 They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east, beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain] 3 And by the light of that same star Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain] 4 This star drew nigh to the northwest, O’er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain] 5 Then entered in those wise men three, Full rev'rently upon their knee, And offered there in His presence Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain] 6 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord, That hath made heav'n and earth of naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought.
