We Christians May Rejoice Today

Author: K. Füger, 1521-1592; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 4.4.11.4.4.11 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We Christians may Rejoice today, 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 Yea, let us praise Our God and raise Loud hallelujahs to the skies above us. The bliss bestowed Today by God To ceaseless thankfulness and joy should move us. Topics: Nativity of our Lord

God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: W. Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,143 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. Deep in unknown, unfathomed mines Of never-failing skill He treasures up His bright designs And works His sov'reign will. 2 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy and shall break In blessings on your head. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 3 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flow'r. Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. Topics: Trinity 7 Used With Tune: SALVATION

Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 555 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees him rise To his throne above the skies! Christ, the Lamb for sinners giv'n, Reascends his native heav'n. 2 There the glorious triumph waits: Lift your heads, eternal gates, He hath conquered death and sin; Take the King of glory in! 3 See, the heav'n its Lord receives, Yet He loves the earth He leaves; Though returning to His throne, Still He calls mankind His own. 4 See He lifts His hands above; See, He shows the prints of love. Hark! His gracious lips bestow Blessings on His church below. 5 Still for us He intercedes, His prevailing death He pleads, Near Himself prepares our place, Harbinger of human race. 6 There we shall with Thee remain Partners of Thy endless reign, There Thy face unclouded see, Find our heav'n of heav'ns in Thee.

Once more we bless Thee ere our worship cease, Then, lowly kneeling, wait Thy word of peace. 2 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way; With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day: Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, That in this house have called upon Thy name. 3 Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night; Turn Thou for us its darkness into light. From harm and danger keep Thy children free; For dark and light are both alike to Thee. 4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life, Our Balm in sorrow and our Stay in strife. Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace. Topics: Benediction Used With Tune: ELLERS
