Christ Is Born, Go Tell The Story

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Christ is born, go tell the story, Tell the nations of His birth: Tell them that the "Lord of glory" Comes from Heav’n to dwell on earth: Let the tidings Fill the world with sacred mirth. 2 See, He lies in yonder manger: "Prince of Life" His title is, Midst His own, and yet a stranger, All things seen and unseen His. Yet neglected: Wonder, O ye heav’ns, at this. 3 See fulfilled, prophetic vision, "Unto us a child is born;" Though an object of derision, Though the theme of human scorn: Yet His people Hail His birth, and cease to mourn. 4 Hail Emmanuel, child of promise, "Lord of all," in humble guise; Long detained, and absent from us, Come at length to bless our eyes: Hail Emmanuel! God the Savior, only wise! Used With Tune: CORONAE Text Sources: Hymns Not Before Published (Dublin: Thomas Johnston, 1815)

Come, Thou Conqueror of the Nations

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, Thou conqueror of the nations, Now on Thy white horse appear; Earthquakes, famines, desolations Signify Thy kingdom near: True and faithful! Stablish Thy dominion here. 2. Thine the kingdom, power, and glory; Thine the ransomed nations are. Let the heathen fall before Thee, Let the isles Thy power declare. Judge and conquer All mankind in righteous war. 3. Thee let all mankind admire, Object of our joy and dread! Flame Thine eyes with heavenly fire, Many crowns upon Thy head. But Thine essence None, except Thyself, can read. 4. Yet we know our mediator, By the Father’s grace bestowed; Meanly clothed in human nature, Thee we call the Word of God. Flesh Thy garment, Dipped in Thy own sacred blood. 5. Captain, God of our salvation, Thou who hast the wine press trod, Borne the Almighty’s indignation, Quenched the fiercest wrath of God, Take the kingdom, Claim the purchase of Thy blood. 6. On Thy thigh and clothing written, Show the world Thy heavenly name, That, with loving wonder smitten, All may glorify the Lamb. All adore Thee, All the Lord of hosts proclaim. 7. Honor, glory, and salvation To the Lord our God we give. Power, and endless adoration, Thou art worthy to receive. Reign triumphant, King of kings, forever live!
