Det Kimer Nu Til Jule-Fest

Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Det kimer nu til Jule-Fest, Det kimer for den høie Giæst, Som steeg til lave Hytter ned, Med Nyaars-Gaver: Fryd og Fred! O, kommer med til Davids Bye, Hvor Engle sjunge under Skye! O, ganger med paa Marken ud, Hvor Hyrder høre Nyt fra Gud! 2 See hist, i Lysets Klædebon Blandt Hytte-Børn en Himmel-Aand! Hør Paradisets Nattergal Slaae Jubel-Slag i Graadens Dal! Hvor Rachel græd for sine Smaae, Det klinger nu som Orgler gaae: Vær glad i Gud, og græd ei saa! De Døde skal igjen opstaae. 3 Hvor David gik i Ungdoms Aar, Som salvet Drot, og vogted Faar, Der aabenbarer Hyrder nu Hvad Herren David skiød i Hu! Hvad dunkelt fra hans Harpe klang Sig klarer nu i Engle-Sang. Hvad David kun i Aanden saae, Skal nu for Verdens Øjne staae. 4 Ved Nattetid i Hyrdelag Forkynde Engle Herrens Dag! Hør efter! hør! og føl i Bryst Nu Støvet skal faae Engle-Røst! Fra Himlen høit jeg kommer her, Mit Nyt er godt og Reisen værd, Derom skal sjunges rundt paa Jord, Og evig sødt i Engle-Chor: 5 Jeg er den store Glædes Tolk Som vederfares skal Guds Folk: I Bethlehem, i Davids Bye Giør Naade-Solen Morgengrye! I Bethlehem er Christus fød, Den Frelser-Mand fra Synd og Død; Nu kom den store Løvsals-Fest, Nu blev Jehovah Hyttens Giæst! 6 Saa giver nu vel Agt derpaa At flux til Bethlehem I gaae! I Klude svøbt, i Krybbe lagt Er Han som skabde Himlens Pragt! I Klude svøbt, i Krybbe lagt, Er han, som os gav Lys til Dragt! O, ton fra Himmel, ton fra Jord Halleluja i fulde Chor! 7 Ja, Du er evig Ære værd, Du Høvding over Himlens Hær! Som steeg i Støv fra Thronen ned, For Dødens Børn at skiænke Fred! Saa prises af Ufaldnes Chor Guds Naade mod den faldne Jord! Den Synder, som vil tie her, Er Naaden ei, men Dommen værd. 8 Nei, lad os gaae med rørte Sind, Som Hyrderne, til Barnet ind, Med Glædes-Taarer takke Gud For Miskundhed og Naade-Bud! Ja, vær velkommen, ædle Giæst, Fra Himlen høit Du kommen est! Giv Selv min Tak en værdig Tolk! Du Naade-Soel for Gravens Folk! 9 O, Riigmands Søn af Evighed, Hvor komst Du fattig dog herned, For mig utroe, gjeldbundne Svend At giøre kongeriig igjen! Al Verden, nok saa vid og lang, Til Vugge var jo Dig for trang, For ringe, om med Guld tilredt, Og perlestukket, silkebredt. 10 Men for af Smaat at giøre Stort, Af Stort Du her har Lidet gjort, I Krybben lagt, i Klude svøbt, En Himmel-Seng Du mig har kiøbt! Velan, min Sjæl! saa vær nu glad, Og hold din Juul i Davids Stad! Ja, priis din Gud i allen Stund Med liflig Sang af Hjertens Grund! 11 Ja, fryd dig, Mark! siung høit, du Skov! I Muldet gaaer nu Herrens Plov, Og Selv Han lægger Sæd i Jord Til Himmel-Brød paa Alter-Bord! O, sjung dog hver, som stamme kan! Nu tændtes Lys i Skyggers Land, Og ret som Midnats-Hanen goel, Blev Jakobs Stjerne til en Soel! 12 Nu kom Han, Patriarchers Haab, Med Nyaars-Vers og Himmel-Daab! Og Barnet tyder nu i Vang Hvad David dunkelt saae og sang! Kom, Jesus! vær vor Hytte-Giæst! Hold Selv i os Din Jule-Fest! Da skal med Davids-Harpens Klang Dig takke højt vor Nyaars-Sang!

Awake, Jerusalem, Awake

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Awake, Jerusalem, awake, Thou that hast drunk the trembling cup, The slumber from thy spirit shake, Beneath thy mighty woes stand up. 2 Thou that hast drunk the deadly wine Of pain, astonishment, and fear, The last sad dregs of wrath divine; Awake, and see thy Savior near. 3 Of all her sons whom she brought forth, Of all her sons whom Sion bred, Not one can help her by his worth, Not one can his weak mother lead. 4 Not one attempts with pious care To guide her in the paths of peace: Ah! who shall Sion’s burdens bear? Ah! who shall bid thy sufferings cease? 5 Famine and sword have laid thee waste; Sin, the destroying angel’s sword Throughout thy desolate land has passed, Joined with a famine of the word. 6 By whom shall I thy sorrows cheer? As a wild bull thy sons lie bound, And struggling in the hunter’s snare, Are bellowing thro’ their spirit’s wound. 7 Fainting in all the streets they lie, O’erwhelmed beneath their guilty load, Rebuked by Him they dared defy, Full of the fury of thy God. 8 Wherefore to thee the Lord hath said, (Oppressed and drunk with wrath divine) The Lord thy God, who deigns to plead His people’s desperate cause, and thine; 9 “Lo! I thy soul have freely loved, I have displayed My mercy’s power, The cup out of thy hands removed, And thou shalt never taste it more. 10 “Mine indignation’s dreadful cup The portion of thy foes shall be, Thy, they shall all the dregs drink up: The cup of blessing is for thee. 11 “Thee, Sion, thee: so long compelled To stoop at the oppressor’s frown, Enslaved by man, and forced to yield, When sin, or Satan, cried ‘Bow down.’ 12 “Poor vassal! to rebel afraid, Thy baseness bowed to every lust, As clay thou hast thy body laid, And mixed thy spirit with the dust. 13 “But I, the righteous Lord, on all That tread thee down will vengeance take, My fury on thy sin shall fall, Mine arm an end of sin shall make. 14 Its being with its power destroy, The inward stumbling block remove, And fill thee with unfading joy, And crown thee with eternal love.

The Spirit Moved Upon The Waves

Author: Fergus Ferguson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Spirit moved upon the waves That darkly rolled, a shoreless sea; He spake the word, and light broke forth, A glorious, bright immensity. 2 At His command, the mountains heaved Their rocky pinnacles on high, Island and continent displayed Their desert grandeur to the sky. 3 The voice of God was heard again, And lovely flowers and graceful trees Appeared on every vale and plain, And perfumes floated on the breeze. 4 The word went forth, and vast and high The heavenly orbs gave out their light, O’er all the earth and sea and sky, The rulers of the day and night. 5 "Glory to God!" the angels sang, With harps of gold, and tongues of flame: And all the heavenly arches rang Re-echoing with the awful theme.
