A Babe is born in Bethlehem

Author: Ph. Schaff; Anon. Hymnal: WHCS1918 #89 (1918) Lyrics: 1 A Babe is born in Bethlehem; in Bethlehem; Therefore rejoice, Jerusalem, 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 The Holy Trinity be praised, Hallelujah; To God our ceaseless thanks be raised, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

A great and mighty wonder

Author: J. M. Neale; Anatolius Hymnal: WHCS1918 #121 (1918) Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder, Our Christmas festal brings; On earth a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings! 2 The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high; And cherubim sing anthems To shepherds from the sky. 3 And we with them, triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: "To God on high be glory, And peace on earth to men!" 4 While thus they sing your Monarch, Those bright angelic bands, Rejoice, ye vales and mountains! Ye oceans, clap your hands! 5 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethle'm, The Savior and the Lord! 6 All idol forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye.

A mighty fortress is our God

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: WHCS1918 #215 (1918) Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; He helps us free from ev'ry need That has us now o'ertaken. The old evil foe Now means deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight; On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One, Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye, Who this is? Jesus Christ it is, The Lord Sabaoth, And there's none other God,-- He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not overpow'r us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none; He's judged; the deed is done; One little word shall fell him. 4 That word they still shall let remain, And not a thank have for it; He's by our side upon the plain With His good gifts and Spirit. And take they our life, Goods, fame, child and wife; Let these all be gone, They yet have nothing won; The kingdom ours remaineth. Topics: Reformation, Church, Missions

Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside

Author: Anon. Hymnal: WHCS1918 #127 (1918) First Line: A virgin most pure, as the prophets did tell Lyrics: 1 A virgin most pure, as the prophets did tell, Hath brought forth a Savior, as it hath befell, To be our Redeemer, from death, hell and sin, Which Adam’s transgression has wrappéd us in. Refrain: Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside, Christ Jesus, our Savior, was born on this tide. 2 In Bethlehem city in Judah it was Where Joseph and Mary together did pass, And there to be taxéd, with many one more, For Caesar commanded the same should be so. [Refrain] 3 But when they had entered the city so fair, A number of people so mighty was there That Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small, Could procure in the inn no lodging at all. [Refrain] 4 Then were they constrained in a stable to lie, Where oxen and asses they used to tie; Their lodging so simple, they held it no scorn, But against the next morning our Savior was born. [Refrain] 5 The King of glory to this world being brought, Small store of fine linen to wrap Him was sought; When Mary had swaddled her young Son so sweet, Within an ox manger she laid Him to sleep. [Refrain] 6 Then God sent an angel from heaven so high To certain poor shepherds in fields where they lie, And charged them no longer in sorrow to stay, Because that our Savior was born on this day. [Refrain] 7 Then presently after the shepherds did spy A number of angels appear in the sky, Who joyfully talkéd and sweetly did sing, "To God be all glory, our heavenly King." [Refrain] Topics: Christmas

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Author: H. F. Lyte Hymnal: WHCS1918 #45 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide: When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou, who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee: In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended

Author: R Bridges; J. Heermann Hymnal: WHCS1918 #154 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended, That man to judge Thee hath in hate pretended? By foes derided, by Thine own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty, who brought this upon Thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee! ’Twas I, Lord, Jesus, I it was denied Thee: I crucified Thee. 3 Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; The slave hath sinnéd, and the Son hath suffered; For man’s atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was Thy incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and Thy life’s oblation; Thy death of anguish, and Thy bitter passion, For my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee, I do adore Thee, and will ever pray Thee: Think on Thy pity and Thy love unswerving, Not my deserving.

Author: C. Winkworth; N. Decius Hymnal: WHCS1918 #11 (1918) Lyrics: 1 All glory be to God on high, Who hath our race befriended! To us no harm shall now come nigh, The strife at last is ended. God showeth His good will to men, And peace shall reign on earth again; O thank Him for His goodness. 2 We praise, we worship Thee, we trust, And give Thee thanks forever, O Father, that Thy rule is just, And wise, and changes never; Thy boundless pow'r o'er all things reigns; Done is whate'er Thy will ordains: Well for us that Thou rulest! 3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, Son of Thy heavenly Father, And Thou who hast our peace restored, And the lost sheep dost gather: Thou Lamb of God, to Thee on high From out our depths we sinners cry: Have mercy on us, Jesus! 4 O Holy Ghost, Thou precious gift, Thou Comforter unfailing, O'er Satan's snares our souls uplift, And let thy pow'r availing, Avert our woes, and calm our dread; For us the Savior's blood was shed: We trust in Thee to save us!

Author: J. M. Neale; Theodulph Hymnal: WHCS1918 #175 (1918) Lyrics: 1 All glory, praise and honor, To Thee, Redeemer, King! To whom the lips of children Made sweet hosannas ring. Thou art the King of Israel, Thou David’s royal Son, Who in the Lord’s name comest, The King and Blesséd One. 2 The company of angels Are praising Thee on high; And mortal men and all things Created, make reply. The people of the Hebrews With palms before Thee went; Our prayer and praise and anthems Before Thee we present. 3 To Thee, before Thy passion, They sang their hymns of praise: To Thee, now high exalted, Our melody we raise. Thou didst accept their praises; Accept the prayers we bring. Who in all good delightest, Thou good and gracious King. Topics: Palm Sunday
