I Come From Th' Lofty Heav'ns Today
Author: Martin Luther; J. S. Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8347 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: I come from th’ lofty heav’ns today Lyrics: 1 “I come from th’lofty heav’ns today;
I bring a new melodious lay;
A rich melodious lay I bring,
And this the tale I tell, I sing:
2 “Lo! from a chosen maid this morn,
A lovely Babe for you is born;
That Babe, so soft, so mild, shall be
Your joy, your sweet felicity.
3 “He is the Lord, our God on high!
His bounty shall your need supply,
His own heart’s blood your ransom pay,
And wash each stain of guilt away.
4 “He brings you all the bliss profound
His Father, God, diffuses round,
That with us now and evermore,
Ye may the realms of light explore.
5 “How mark the sign with fond desire,
The manger and the mean attire;
Lo! there you find the Infant lain,
Whose hands the universe sustain.
6 "Come all, and let us joyful be;
Come with the shepherds in and see
What God’s unbounded love has done,
To bless us with His own dear Son."
7 Attend, my heart! behold yon shed!
Who fills that rude, that lowly bed?
What babe is that, so sweet, so fair?
Jesus, the lovely Babe, is there!
8 Welcome, illustrious Guest sublime!
Thou hast not scorned a world of crime,
But come in banishment to me:
How shall I pay my thanks to Thee?
9 Alas! Creator, Lord of all!
Art Thou the inmate of a stall?
And hast Thou lain Thy lovely head
Where menial beasts are nightly fed?
10 Had this wide world far wider bounds,
Of gems and gold a rich compound,
It were too poor, too small to be,
A narrow cradle bed for Thee.
11 The swathing-band, the briary hay,
Thy purple these, Thy silk array;
On these, great Monarch! Thou canst shine,
Rich as upon Thy throne divine.
12 Thus woulds! Thou teach my soul to see
This worthless world’s reality;
How power and fame, and fortune’s store,
Beneath Thy splendor shine no more.
13 O Jesus! lovely Babe divine!
Thy cradle be this heart of mine;
There make a pure, soft shrine for Thee,
That I may ne’er forgetful be.
14 That gladness may forever string
My chainless soul to leap and sing,
The luscious tones with bliss that brim,
The charming songs of Susannim.
15 Glory and praise to God supreme!
Glad hosts of angels seize the theme;
With joy they peal the anthem new!
"He gave His own dear Son for you!"

I Come From Th' Lofty Heav'ns Today
Today We Celebrate The Birth
Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12431 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Today we celebrate the birth
Of Jesus Christ, who came on earth
Man as His property to claim,
And from perdition to redeem.
2 Awake, my heart! my soul, rejoice!
Look, who in yonder manger lies!
Who is that Child, so poor and mean?
‘Tis He who all things doth sustain.
3 Welcome, O welcome, noble Guest,
Who sinners not despisèd hast,
But cam’st into our misery.
How shall we pay due thanks to Thee?
4 Immanuel, incarnate God,
Prepare my heart for Thy abode;
O may I, through Thy aiding grace,
In all I do, show forth Thy praise. Languages: English Tune Title: VOM HIMMEL HOCH

From heaven high I come to you
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #57 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From heaven high I come to you,
I bring you tidings good and new;
glad tidings of great joy I bring,
whereof I now will say and sing.
2 To you this day 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 Saviour be
from all your sins to set you free.
4 These are the tokens ye shall mark:
the swaddling clothes and manger dark;
there ye shall find the infant laid
by whom the heavens and earth were made.
5 Now let us all with gladsome cheer
go with the shepherds and draw near
to see the precious gift of God,
who hath his own dear Son bestowed.
6 Welcome to earth, thou noble guest,
through whom the sinful world is blest!
In my distress thou com'st to me;
what thanks shall I return to thee?

From Heaven High I Come to Earth
Author: Martin Luther; Roland H. Bainton Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #207 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From heaven high I come to earth;
I bring good tidings of great mirth;
this mirth is such a wondrous thing
that I must tell you all and sing.
2 A little child for you this morn
has from a chosen maid been born,
a little child so tender, sweet,
that you should skip upon your feet.
3 How glad we'll be that this is so!
With all the shepherds let us go
to see what God for us has done
in sending us his own dear Son.
4 Look, look, my heart, and let me peek.
Whom in the manger do you seek?
Who is that lovely little one?
The baby Jesus, God's own Son.
5 Be welcome, Lord; be now our guest.
By you poor sinners have been blessed.
In nakedness and cold you lie.
How can I thank you; how can I?
6 You wanted so to make me know
that you had let all great things go.
You had a palace in the sky;
you left it there for such as I.
7 And if the world were twice as wide,
with gold and precious jewels inside,
still such a cradle would not do
to hold a babe as great as you.
8 To God who sent his only Son
be glory, laud, and honor done.
Let all the choir of heav'n rejoice,
the new ring in with heart and voice.

From heaven above to earth I come
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Martin Luther, 1483 - 1546 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #22 (1958) 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 mother mild;
This little child, of lowly birth,
Shall be the joy of all the earth.
3 Were earth a thousand times as fair,
Beset with gold and jewels rare,
She yet were far too poor to be
A narrow cradle, Lord, to thee.
4 Ah, dearest Jesus, Holy Child,
Make thee a bed, soft undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for thee.
5 '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.
