Savior of the heathen, come

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #141 (1918) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Savior of the heathen, come, Virgin's Son, here make Thy home; Wonder at it, heaven and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth. 2 Not by human flesh and blood, By the Spirit of our God Was the Word of God made flesh-- Woman's blossom, sweet and fresh. 3 Though the virgin was with child, Chastity proved undefiled; Many a virtue rare forth shone, God was there upon His throne. 4 From the Father forth He came, And returned unto the same, Down to hell He went alone, And again to God's high throne. 5 Thou, the Father’s equal, win Victory in the flesh o’er sin, By Thy strength divine, O Lord, Help to our frail flesh afford. 6 Lord, Thy manger is so bright, Night sends forth a novel light; Darkness must not enter there, Faith abides in light fore'er. 7 Praise be God the Father sing, Praise to God the Son, our King, Praise to God the Spirit be Ever and eternally.

Arise, sons of the kingdom!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #142 (1918) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Arise, sons of the kingdom! The King is drawing nigh; Arise, and hail with gladness The Ruler from on high. Ye Christians, hasten forth! Your praise and homage bring Him, And glad hosannas sing Him; Naught else your love is worth. 2 Arise, ye drooping mourners! The King is very near; Away with grief and sorrow, For lo! your Help is here. Behold, in many a place-- O blessed consolation!-- We find Him, our Salvation, In His pure means of grace. 3 Now hear, ye bold transgressors, The King does well give heed To all that ye are doing, And to the life ye lead, Enthralled by sin and hell; Nothing in all creation Escapes His observation, He marketh all things well. 4 Be righteous, ye His subjects, The King is just and true; Prepare for Him a high-way, Make all things straight and new. He means all for our good; Then let us bear the crosses Which He Himself imposes, In an undaunted mood. 5 He nevermore forsaketh A child that feels the rod, Who Him his refuge maketh, And puts his trust in God. He is our sovereign King; E'en death itself shall never Those from their Master sever Who to His mercy cling. 6 Arise, ye faint and fearful! The King now comes with might; His heart hath long since loved us, He makes our darkness light. Now are our sorrow o'er; No wrath shall e'er befall us, Since God in grace doth call us His children evermore. 7 The King in grace remembers His loved ones here below With gifts of royal treasures, Yea, doth Himself bestow Through His blest Word and grace. O King, arrayed in splendor, To Thee all praise we'll render Here and there face to face. 8 O rich the gifts Thou bring'st us, Thyself made poor and weak; O Love beyond expression That thus can sinners seek! For this, O Lord, will we Our joyous tribute bring Thee, And glad hosannas sing Thee, And ever grateful be. Topics: Advent Languages: English

Once He came in blessing

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #143 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Once He came in blessing, All our ills redressing, Came in likeness lowly, Son of God most holy; Bore the Cross to save us, Hope and freedom gave us. 2 Still He comes within us, Still His voice would win us From the sins that hurt us; Would to Truth convert us From our foolish errors, Ere He comes in terrors. 3 Thus if Thou hast known Him, Not ashamed to own Him, Nor dost love Him coldly, But will trust Him boldly, He will now receive thee, Heal thee, and forgive thee. 4 He who well endureth, Bright reward secureth; Come, then, O Lord Jesus, From our sins release us; Let us here confess Thee, Till in heaven we bless Thee.

Let nations bow to Thy command, And grace revive a dying world. 5 Teach us in watchfulness and prayer To wait for your appointed hour; And fit us by Thy grace to share The triumphs of Thy conquering power.

All my heart this night rejoices

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #145 (1918) Meter: 8.6.6.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night rejoices, As I hear Far and near Sweetest angel voices; "Christ is born," their choirs are singing. Till the air Everywhere Now with joy is ringing. 2 Forth today the Conqu'ror goeth, Who the foe, Sin and woe, Death and hell o'erthroweth, God is man, man to deliver, His dear Son Now is one With our blood forever. 3 Shall we still dread God's displeasure, Who to save Freely gave Us His dearest treasure? To redeem us, He hath given His own Son From the throne Of His might in heaven. 4 Should He, who Himself imparted, Aught withhold From the fold, Leave us broken-hearted? Should the Son of God not love us, Who to cheer Sufferers here Left His throne above us? 5 If our blessed Lord and Maker Hated men, Would He then Be of flesh partaker? If He is our woe delighted, Would He bear All the care Of our race benighted? 6 He becomes the Lamb that taketh Sin away, And for aye Full atonement maketh. For our life His own He tenders, And our race, By His grace, Meet for glory renders. 7 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, Doth entreat: "Flee from woe and danger; Brethren, from all ills that grieve you, You are freed All you need I will surely give you." 8 Come, then, banish all your sadness, One and all, Great and small, Come with songs of gladness; Love Him who with love is glowing. Hail the Star Near and far Light and joy bestowing! 9 Ye whose anguish knew no measure, Weep no more, See the door To celestial pleasure. Cling to Him, for He will guide you Where no cross, Pain or loss, Can again betide you. 10 Hither come, ye heavy-hearted, Who for sin, Deep within, Long and sore have smarted; For the poisoned wounds you're feeling Help is near, One is here Mighty for their healing. 11 Hither come, ye poor and wretched, Know His will Is to fill Every hand outstretchèd; Here are riches without measure, Here forget All regret, Fill your hearts with treasure. 12 Let me in my arms receive Thee, On Thy breast Let me rest, Savior, ne'er to leave Thee! Since Thou hast Thyself presented Now to me, I shall be Evermore contented. 13 Guilt no longer can distress me; Son of God, Thou my load Bearest to release me. Stain in me Thou findest never; I am clean, All my sin Is removed forever. 14 I am pure, in Thee believing, From Thy store Evermore Righteous robes receiving. In my heart I will enfold Thee, Treasure rare, Let me there Loving ever hold Thee! 15 Thee, O Lord, with heed I'll cherish, While I've breath, E'en in death Shall my faith not perish. I shall dwell with Thee forever, Far on high, In the joy That can alter never. Topics: Christmas Languages: English

Let the earth now praise the Lord

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #146 (1918) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Let the earth now praise the Lord, Who has 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, O 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, Noiseless, full of gentleness, Let the same mind dwell in me That was ever found in Thee. 7 Comfort my desponding 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.

Now praise we Christ, the Holy One

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #148 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now praise we Christ, the Holy One, The blessed virgin Mary's Son, Far as the blessed sun doth shine, E'en to the world's remote confine. 2 He who Himself all things did make, A servant's form vouchsafed to take, That He as man mankind might win, And save His creatures from their sin. 3 The grace of God, the mighty Lord, On the chaste mother was outpoured; A virgin pure and undefiled In wondrous wise conceived a child. 4 The noble mother bare a Son, For so did Gabriel's promise run, Whom John confessed, and leapt with joy, Ere yet the mother knew her boy. 5 In a rude manger, stretched on hay, In poverty content He lay; With milk was fed the Lord of all, Who feeds the ravens when they call. 6 The heavenly choirs rejoice, and raise Their voice to God in songs of praise; To humble shepherds is proclaimed The Shepherd who the world hath framed. 8 All honor unto Christ be paid, Pure offspring of the holy maid, With Father and with Holy Ghost, Till time in endless time be lost.

A great and mighty wonder

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #149 (1918) Meter: 7.6.7.6 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 Bethlehem, The Savior and the Lord! 6 And idol forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye.

From heaven above to earth I come

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #150 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 Savior be, From all your sins to make you free. 4 He brings those blessing, 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 must 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. Topics: Christmas Languages: English
