This Little Babe So Few Days Old

Author: R. Southwell, c. 1561-96 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals 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!

Now are the days fulfilled, 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.

He comes, the king anointed, The Christ, the virgin-born, Grim death to vanquish for us, To open heav'n before us And bring us life again. 3 Awaken, Lord, our spirit To know and love you more, In faith to stand unshaken, In Spirit to adore, That we, through this world moving, Each glimpse of heaven proving, May reap its fullness there. 4 O Father, here before you With God the Holy Ghost, And Jesus, we adore you, O pride of angel-host: Before you mortals lowly Cry, "Holy, holy, holy, O blessed Trinity!"

Søde Jesus Festens Fyrste

Author: Kingo Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Christmas 2 Evening Service Lyrics: 1 Søde Jesus, Festens Fyrste, Spire ud af Jesse Rod, Vil man dog saa hastig tørste Efter dit og Dines Blod? Vi igaar blandt Englelyd Sang din Fødsel ind med Fryd, Skal vi klage nu og græde, Og idag en Ligsang kvæde? 2 Efter du stod op af Døde, Stefan første Martyr blev; Han frivillig vilde bløde, Med sit blod sin Tro beskrev; Han var frisk og uforferd Til at føre Aandens Sverd, Hvo, som turde imodsige, Maatte ham med Blussel vige. 3 Falske tungers Slange-Brodde Hemmelig paa hannem stak, Og ved Løgn ham undertraadde, Det blev al hans Gjernings Tak. De beløi ham mer og mer, Som saa tidt i Verden sker: Herrens Lov og Tempels Ære Skalkeskjul maa ofte være. 4 Om end Englelys og Ære Skinner af hans Øieften, Ville de dog Tænder skjære Til at knuse ham hans Ben. Han har Gud i Syn og Sind, Langt han ser i Himlen ind, Raaber, mens de Oren stoppe: Jesus staar i glans deroppe! 5 De nu hannem overfalde, Og af Staden støde ham, Han paa Jesus fast mon kalde, Midlertid er hver ham gram, Stener, slaar og gjør ham Meen, Knuser ham hans Pandeben; Saulus samme Stund sig glæder, Træder paa Guds Martyrs Klæder. 6 Der han vil til Døden blegne, Og har Munden fuld af Blod, Beder han, Gud ei tilregne Vil dem deres Synderflod, Dermed han i Jesu Tro Sov hen til Guds evig Ro. Jesus os den Naade kjende, I slig Tro vort Liv at ende!

Author: Kingo Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Christmas 2 Evening Service Lyrics: 1 Hvor tryg en Vei Er du, o Jesus god! Sig ikke nei, Min Sjæl, og kvi dig ei, Om det gjaldt dit Liv og Blod! Gak du kun fort, Hvor han vil, Og se til, Du stille, taksom gaar, Fordi du Korset faar! Naar kun Jesus Formand er, Og din Byrde med dig bær, Sæl er da din Reisefærd. 2 O Jesus, bliv Min Vandrings rettesnor, Din Naade giv, At jeg i dette Liv Mister ei dit Fodespor! Tag, Jesus, mig Ved din Haand, Lad din Aand Oplyse mine Trin Med Naadens Sol og Skin, Lad i dine Fjed mig gaa, At jeg under Korset maa Evigt Liv og Ære saa!

Verden i det Onde sænkes,

Author: Petter Dass Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Christmas 2 Evening Service Lyrics: 1 Verden i det Onde sænkes, Mange tusind Sjæle krænkes, Dog har Gud sig nogle Faa, Som til Enden fast skal staa. 2 Om saa var–det Gud forbyde! Haarde Voldsmænd vilde bryde, Slukke ud det klare Lys, Som er sat i Herrens Hus; 3 Kirken har dog nogle Lemmer, Som sin Gud i Hjertet gjemmer, Og bekjender Jesus frit, Blev de Gods og Liv end kvit. 4 Stefanus skal indtil Døden, I hvor hart ham trykker Nøden, Holde ved sin Frelser trygt, Fløi de Stene noksaa tykt. 5 Guds Apostler skal tilhobe Jesu Navn for Folk udraabe, Skal de stilles end for Dom, Og hudflettes rundten om. 6 Kast Johannes hen i Fængsel, Det er dog hans Hjertens Længsel, At han sine Svende kan Vise Verdens Frelsermand. 7 Kristi Brud er undertiden Som en Søster ganske liden, Men hvor svag hun synes maa, Hun skal dog ei undergaa. 8 Sodoma skal staa i Lue, Zoar Stad tør ikke grue, Er den skjønt en liden Grend, Ilden ænser ikke den. 9 Herre, lad din Kirke trives! Lad med Spot og Skam omgives Alle Kirkens Fienders Leir, Spred som Avner dem for Veir!
