We Christians may

Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Lyrics: 1 WE Christians may Rejoice to-day, When Christ was born to comfort and to save us; Who thus believes No longer grieves, For none are lost who grasp the hope He gave us. 2 O wondrous joy, That God most high Should take our flesh, and thus our race should honor; A Virgin mild Hath borne this child, Such grace and glory God hath put upon her. 3 Sin brought us grief; But Christ, relief, When down to earth He came for our salvation; Since God with us Is dwelling thus, Who dares to speak the Christian's condemnation? 4 Then hither throng With happy song To Him whose birth and death are our assurance; Through whom are we At last set free From sins and burdens that surpassed endurance. 5 Yes, let us praise Our God, and raise Loud hallelujahs to the skies above us; The bliss, bestowed To-day by God, To ceaseless thankfulness and joy should move us.

Hark, a burst of heavenly music!

Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas First Line: Hark, a burst of heavenly music Lyrics: 1 Hark, a burst of heavenly music From a band of seraphs bright, Suddenly to earth descending In the calm and silent night! And the shepherds of Judea, Watching in the earliest dawn, Hear the glad and joyful tidings, "Jesus, Prince of Peace, is born!" Sweet and clear those angel voices, Echoing through the starry sky, As they chant the heavenly chorus, "Glory be to God on high!" 2 Slumbering in a lowly manger Lies the mighty Lord of all; And before the holy stranger See the trembling shepherds fall. He has come, the long-expected, Full of wisdom, love, and grace, To redeem His ruined creatures, To restore our fallen race. So let angels wake the chorus! So let ransomed men reply! Chanting the celestial anthem, "Glory be to God on high!" 3 And this joyful Christmas morning, Breaking o'er the world below, Tells against the wondrous story Shepherds heard so long ago. Who shall still our tuneful voices, Who the tide of praise shall stem, Which the blessed angels taught us In the fields of Bethlehem? Hark! we hear again the chorus, Ringing through the starry sky, And we join the heavenly anthem, "Glory be to God on high!"

O'er the distant mountains breaking

Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Advent First Line: O'er the distant mountains breaking Lyrics: 1 O'er the distant mountains breaking Comes the reddening dawn of day; Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking, Rise, and sing, and watch, and pray; 'Tis Thy Saviour, 'Tis Thy Saviour, On His bright returning way. 2 O Thou long-expected! Wear Waits my anxious soul for Thee; Life is dark, and earth is dreary, Where Thy light I do not see; O my Saviour, O my Saviour, When wilt Thou return to me? 3 Nearer is my soul's salvation, Spent the night, the day at hand; Keep me in my lowly station, Watching for Thee, till I stand, O my Saviour, O my Saviour, In Thy bright and promsied land. 4 With my lamp, well trimmed and burning, Swift to hear and slow to roam, Watching for Thy glad returning, To restore me to my home. Come, my Saviour, Come, my Saviour, Thou hast promised; quickly come.
