To Bethlehem hasten with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord! 2 True Son of the Father, He comes from the skies; To be born of a Virgin He does not despise: To Bethlehem hasten with joyful accord: O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord! 3 Hark, hark to the angels all singing in heaven, "To God in the highest all glory be given!" To Bethlehem hasten with joyful accord: O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord! 4 To Thee, then, O Jesus, this day of Thy birth, Be glory and honor through heaven and earth.

When shall all hatred cease, as in the realms above? 3 When comes the promised time, the end of strife and war; when lust, oppression, crime and greed shall be no more? 4 O Lord our God, arise and come in your great might! revive our longing eyes which languish for your sight. 5 As rebels scorn your name and wolves devour your fold, by many deeds of shame we learn that love grows cold. 6 On nations near or far thick darkness gathers yet: arise, O Morning Star, arise and never set!

From heaven above to earth I come

Appears in 149 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Lyrics: 1 FROM heaven above to earth I come To bear good news to every home; Glad tidings of great joy I bring, Whereof I now will say and sing. 2 To you this night is born a child Of Mary, chosen virgin mild; This little child, of lowly birth, Shall be the joy of all the earth. 3 This is the Christ, our God and Lord, Who in all need shall aid afford; He will Himself your Saviour be, From all your sins to make you free. 4 He brings those blessings, long ago Prepared by God for all below, That in His heavenly Kingdom blest You may with us forever rest. 5 These are the tokens ye shall mark; The swaddling-clothes and manger dark; There shall ye find the young child laid, By whom the heavens and earth were made. 6 Now let us all with gladsome cheer, Follow the shepherds, and draw near, To see the wondrous gift of God, Who hath His own dear Son bestowed. 7 Give heed, my heart, lift up thine eyes! What is it in yon manger lies? Who is this child, so young and fair? Dear little Jesus lieth there. 8 Welcome to earth, Thou noble Guest, Through whom the sinful world is blest! Thou com'st to share my misery, What thanks shall I return to Thee? 9 Ah! Lord, who hast created all, How hast Thou made Thee weak and small, That Thou dost choose Thy infant bed, Where humble cattle lately fed. 10 And were the world ten times as wide, With gold and jewels beautified, It would be far too small to be A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee. 11 For velvets soft and silken stuff Thou hast but hay and straw so rough, Whereon Thou King, so rich and great, As 'twere Thy heaven, art throned in state. 12 And thus, dear Lord, it pleased Thee, To make this truth quite plain to me, That this world's honor, wealth, and might Are naught and worthless in Thy sight. 13 Ah! dearest Jesus, holy Child, Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled, Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee. 14 My heart for very joy doth leap, My lips no more can silence keep; I, too, must sing with joyful tongue That sweetest ancient cradle-song: 15 Glory to God in highest heaven, Who unto man His Son hath given! While angels sing with pious mirth, A glad New Year to all the earth.

Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates!

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; G. Wiessel Appears in 280 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates! Behold the King of glory waits; The King of Kings is drawing near, The Saviour of the world is here; Life and salvation He doth bring, Wherefore rejoice and gladly sing; We praise Thee, Father, now, Creator wise art Thou! 2 The Lord is just, a Helper tried, Mercy is ever at His side; His kingly crown in holiness, His scepter, pity in distress, The end of all our woe He brings; Wherefore the earth is glad and sings: We praise Thee, Saviour, now, Mighty in deed art Thou! 3 O blest the land, the city blest, Where Christ the Ruler is confessed! O happy hearts and happy homes, To whom this King in triumph comes! The cloudless Sun of joy He is, Who bringeth pure delight and bliss: O Comforter Divine, What boundless grace is Thine! 4 Fling wide the portals of your heart; Make it a temple, set apart From earthly use for heaven’s employ, Adorned with prayer, and love, and joy; So shall your Sovereign enter in, And new and nobler life begin: To Thee, O God, be praise, For word, and deed, and grace! 5 Redeemer, come! I open wide My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide! Let me Thy inner presence feel, Thy grace and love in me reveal, Thy Holy Spirit guide us on Until our glorious goal be won! Eternal praise and fame We offer to thy name.
