Now praise we Christ, the Holy One

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas 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 holy maid was the abode And temple of the living God; For she, who knew not man, was blest With God's own Word made manifest. 5 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. 6 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. 7 The heavenly choir 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.

Praise God the Lord, ye sons of clay

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Lyrics: 1 PRAISE God the Lord, ye sons of clay, Before His highest throne, Who opens heaven again this day, And gives us His own Son. 2 He leaves His heavenly Father's throne, Is born an infant small, And in a manger poor and lone Lies in a humble stall. 3 He lays aside His power divine, A servant's form doth take, In want and lowness He doth pine Who heaven and earth did make. 4 He nestles at His mother's breast, Her milk His food must be, Whom saints and angels call the Blest, For David's Root is He. 5 'Tis He who in these latter days From Judah's tribe would come, By whom the Lord again would raise His Church, His Christendom. 6 A wondrous change which He does make. He takes our flesh and blood, And lays aside for sinners' sake, His majesty of God. 7 He serves, that I a lord may be; A great exchange, indeed! Could Jesus' love do more for me, To help me in my need? 8 He opens us again the door Of Paradise to-day; The cherub guards the gate no more. To God our thanks we pay.

Saviour of the heathen, come

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Lyrics: 1 SAVIOUR 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 Now He leaves His royal room In the holy virgin's womb, God by nature, man by birth, He now runs His course on earth. 5 From the Father forth He came, And returned unto the same, Down to hell He went alone, And again to God's high throne. 6 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. 7 Lord, Thy manger is so bright, Night sends forth a novel light; Darkness must not enter there, Faith abides in light fore'er. 8 Praise be God the Father sing, Praise to God the Son, our King, Praise to God the Spirit be Ever and eternally.

The Bridegroom soon will call us

Meter: 7.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Lyrics: 1 THE Bridegroom soon will call us: Come, all ye wedding guests! May not His voice appall us While slumber binds our breasts! May all our lamps be burning, And oil be found in store, That we with him returning, May open find the door! 2 There shall we see delighted Our dear Redeemer’s face, Who leads our souls benighted To glory by His grace; The patriarchs shall meet us, The prophets’ holy band, Apostles, martyrs, greet us In that celestial land. 3 They will not blush to own us As brothers, sisters dear, Love ever will be shown us When we with them appear We all shall come before Him, Who for us man became, As Lord and God adore Him, And ever bless His name. 4 Our Father, rich in blessing, Will give us crowns of gold, And to His bosom pressing, Impart a bliss untold, Will welcome with embraces Of never-ending love, And deck us with His graces In blissful realms above. 5 In yonder home shall never Be silent music’s voice; With hearts and lips forever We shall in God rejoice; The angels shall adore Him, All saints shall sing His praise, And bring with joy before Him Their sweetest heavenly lays. 6 In mansions fair and spacious Will God the feast prepare, And, ever kind and gracious, Bid us it's riches share; There bliss that knows no measure From springs of love shall flow, And never-changing pleasure His bounty will bestow. 7 Thus God shall from all evil Forever make us free, From sin and from the Devil, From all adversity, From sickness, pain and sadness, From troubles, cares and fears, And grant us heavenly gladness, And wipe away our tears.

The happy Christmas comes once more

Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas Lyrics: 1 The happy Christmas comes once more, The heavenly Guest is at the door, The blessed words the shepherds thrill, The joyous tidings: Peace, Good will. 2 To David's city let us fly, Where angels sing beneath the sky, Through plain and village pressing near, And news from God with shepherds hear. 3 Oh, let us go with quiet mind, The gentle Babe with shepherds find, To gaze on Him who gladdens them, The loveliest flower of Jesse's stem. 4 The lowly Saviour meekly lies, Laid off the splendor of the skies; No crown bedecks His forehead fair, No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there. 5 No human glory, might and gold, The lovely Infant's form enfold; The manger and the swaddlings poor Are His, whom angels' songs adore. 6 Oh, wake our hearts, in gladness sing, And keep our Christmas with our King, Till living son, from loving souls, Like sound of mighty waters rolls. 7 O holy Child, Thy manger streams Till earth and heaven glow with its beams, Till midnight noon's bright light has won, And Jacob's Star outshines the sun. 8 Thou Patriarchs' joy. Thou Prophets' song, Thou heavenly Day-Spring, looked for long, Thou Son of man, Incarnate Word, Great David's Son, great David's Lord! 9 Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest, Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast, Then David's harp-strings, hushed so long, Shall swell our Jubilee of song.
