This Little Babe So Few Days Old
Author: R. Southwell, c. 1561-96 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #162 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Christmas 2 Lyrics: 1 This little Babe so few days old
Is come to rifle Satan's fold;
All hell doth at His presence quake,
Though He Himself for cold doth shake;
For in this weak unarmed wise
The gates of hell He will surprise.
2 With tears He fights and wins the field,
His tiny breast stands for a shield;
His battering shot are babish cries,
His arrows looks of weeping eyes,
His martial ensigns cold and need,
And feeble flesh His warrior's steed.
3 His camp is builded in a stall,
His bulwark but a broken wall,
The crib His trench, haystalks His stakes,
Of shepherds He His army makes;
And thus, as sure His foe to wound,
The angels' trumps the charge now sound.
4 My soul with Christ join thou in fight;
Stick to His tents, the place of might.
Within His crib is surest ward;
This little Babe will be thy Guard.
If thou wilt foil thy foes with joy,
Then flit not from this heav'nly Boy!

For our joy hath now begun;
Wondrous things our God hath done.
Tell abroad His goodness proudly
Who our race hath honored thus
That He deigns to dwell with us.

Weakness here and poverty;
In such love He comes to thee.

All He suffers for thy good,
To redeem thee by His blood.

Hence, all sorrow and repining,
For the Sun of Grace is shining!

I acknowledge that by Thee
I am saved eternally.
Let me not forget it lightly,
But to Thee at all times cleave,
And my heart true peace receive.
Joy, 0 joy, beyond all gladness,
Christ hath done away with sadness!
Hence, all sorrow and repining,
For the Sun of Grace is shining!
4 Jesus, guard and guide Thy members;
Fill Thy brethren with Thy grace,
Hear their prayers in ev'ry place.
Brighten now life's glowing embers;
Grant all Christians, far and near,
Holy peace, a godly cheer!
Joy, 0 joy, beyond all gladness,
Christ hath done away with sadness!
Hence, all sorrow and repining,
For the Sun of Grace is shining!

God's Son is manifested,
Now His great majesty
In human flesh is vested.
Behold the mighty God,
By whom all wrath is stilled,
The woman's promised Seed--
Now are the days fulfilled.
2 Now are the days fulfilled,
Lo, Jacob's Star is shining;
The gloomy night has fled
Wherein the world lay pining.
Now, IsraeI, look on Him
Who long thy heart hath thrilled;
Hear Zion's watchmen cry:
Now are the days fulfilled.
3 Now are the days fulfilled,
The child of God rejoices;
No bondage of the Law,
No curses that it voices,
Can fill our hearts with fear;
On Christ our hope we build.
Behold the Prince of Peace--
Now are the days fulfilled.

Let the Earth Now Praise the Lord
Author: H. Held, 1620-c. 1659 ; C. Winkworth, 1827-78; Unknown Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #165 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Christmas 2 Lyrics: 1 Let the earth now praise the Lord.
Who hath truly kept His word
And the sinners' Help and Friend
Now at last to us doth send.
2 What the fathers most desired,
What the prophets' heart inspired,
What they longed for many a year,
Stands fulfilled in glory here.
3 Abram's promised great Reward,
Zion's Helper, Jacob's Lord--
Him of twofold race behold--
Truly came, as long foretold.
4 Welcome, 0 my Savior, now!
Hail! My Portion, Lord, art Thou.
Here, too, in my heart, I pray,
Oh, prepare Thyself a way!
5 King of Glory, enter in;
Cleanse it from the filth of sin,
As Thou hast so often done;
It belongs to Thee alone.
6 As Thy coming was in peace,
Quiet, full of gentleness,
Let the same mind dwell in me
That was ever found in Thee.
7 Comfort, comfort Thou my heart,
Thou my Strength and Refuge art.
I am weak, and cunningly
Satan lays his snares for me.
8 Bruise for me the Serpent's head,
That, set free from doubt and dread,
I may cleave to Thee in faith,
Safely kept through life and death,
9 And when Thou dost come again
As a glorious King to reign,
I with joy may see Thy face,
Freely ransomed by Thy grace.

Let the Earth Now Praise the Lord
Hail to the Lord’s anointed
Author: J. Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #190 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Christmas 2 The Wise Men Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's anointed,
great David’s greater son!
Hail, in the time appointed
his reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free,
to take away transgression
and rule in equity.
2 He comes with rescue speedy
to those who suffer wrong;
to help the poor and needy
and bid the weak be strong:
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
are precious in his sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth;
and love, joy, and hope, like flowers
spring in his path to birth:
before him on the mountains
shall peace, the herald, go;
and righteousness in fountains
from hill to valley flow.
4 Kings shall bow down before him
and gold and incense bring;
all nations shall adore him,
his praise all people sing:
to him shall prayer unceasing
and daily vows ascend;
his kingdom still increasing,
a kingdom without end.
5 In all the world victorious,
he on his throne shall rest;
from age to age more glorious,
all-blessing and all-blessed:
the tide of time shall never
his covenant remove;
his name shall stand for ever,
his changeless name of love. Scripture: Psalm 72 Languages: English Tune Title: CRÜGER

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie, 1829-1885 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #198 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Christmas 2 Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly-minded,
For with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descending
Comes our homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords in human vesture,
In the body and the blood,
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heav'nly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way;
As the Light of light, descending
From the realms of endless day,
Comes, the pow'rs of hell to vanquish,
As the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph,
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
"Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia, Lord Most High!" Languages: English Tune Title: PICARDY

Give us the wings of faith
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #204 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Years A, B, and C Christmas 2 First Line: Give us the wings of faith to rise Lyrics: 1 Give us the wings of faith to rise
within the veil, and see
the saints above, how great their joys,
how bright their glories be.
2 Once they were mourning here below,
their couch was wet with tears;
they wrestled hard, as we do now,
with sins and doubts and fears.
3 We ask them whence their vict'ry came:
they, with united breath,
ascribe the conquest to the Lamb,
their triumph to his death.
4 They marked the footsteps that he trod,
his zeal inspired their breast,
and, foll'wing their incarnate God,
they reached the promised rest.
5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise
for his own pattern giv'en;
while the great cloud of witnesses
show the same path to heav'n. Scripture: Hebrews 12:1 Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 67

Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: Voices United #325 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Christmas 2 Year C Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
chosen of the Lord, and precious,
binding all the church in one;
holy Zion's help for ever,
and its confidence alone.

come, O Lord of Hosts, today;
with your faithful loving-kindness
hear your servants as they pray,
and your fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.

what they ask of you to gain;
what they gain from you for ever
with the blessèd to retain,
and hereafter in your glory
evermore with you to reign.

laud and honour to the Son,
laud and honour to the Spirit,
ever three and ever one,
one in mighty, and one in glory,
while unending ages run. Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER ABBEY
