To Shepherds, as they watched by night

Author: Richard Massie; Dr. M. Luther Hymnal: ELHW1908 #29b (1908) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 To Shepherds, as they watched by night, Appeared a troop of angels bright; Behold the tender babe, they said, In yonder lowly manger laid. 2 At Bethlehem in David's town, As Micah did of old make known; 'Tis Jesus Christ, your Lord and King, Who doth to all salvation bring. 3 Rejoice ye, then, that through His Son God is with sinners now at one; Made like yourselves of flesh and blood, Your brother is th'eternal Good. 4 What harm can sin and death then do? The true God now abides with you: Let Hell and Satan chide and chafe, God is your brother--ye are safe. 5 Not one He will nor can forsake Who Him his confidence doth make: Let all his wiles the tempter try, You may his utmost powers defy. 6 Ye must at last prevail; for see, God's kindred now in Christ are we, To God forever give ye praise, Patient and cheerful all your days.

Now praise we Christ, the Holy One

Author: Dr. M. Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: ELHW1908 #30 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Now praise we Christ, the Holy One, The spotless virgin Mary’s Son, Far as the glorious 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 became th'abode And temple of the living God, And she, who knew not man, was blest With God's own Word made manifest. 5 The noble mother bore 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 Th'angelic choirs rejoice, and raise Their voice to God in songs of praise; To humble shepherds is proclaimed The Shepherd who the world hath framed. 8 Honor to Thee, O Christ, be paid, Pure offspring of a holy maid, With Father, and the Holy Ghost, Till time in time's abyss be lost.

Praise ye the Lord, ye Christians!

Author: Nicolaus Herman; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: ELHW1908 #31a (1908) Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, ye Christians! Yea, Praise the Eternal One, Who opens heaven to us this day, And gives us His own Son, And gives us His own Son. 2 He comes from His loved Father's side, Becomes an infant small, And lies with scarce a want supplied Weak in an humble stall. 3 His power divine aside is laid, No crown adorns His brow; The mighty God who all things made Comes as a servant now. 4 He nestles at His mothers' breast, Her precious nursling boy, Whom saints and angels call the Blest, And who is all their joy. 5 He is the Root of David's line, King David's Lord and Son, Through whom and by whose grace divine The kingdom must be won. 6 A wonderful exchange He makes, He puts on flesh and blood, Then gives us back in what He takes, His Godhead as our good. 7 He serves, that I a lord may be, And gives His life for mine; How could His love do more for me? O mystery divine! 8 To-day He opens us the door Of blissful Paradise, The cherub threatens there no more; Then let His praises rise!

Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians

Author: Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: ELHW1908 #32 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians, With all your hearts this morn! Oh, hear the blessed tidings, "The Lord, the Christ, is born!" Now brought us by the angels That stand about God's throne: O lovely are the voices That make such tidings known. 2 O hearken to their singing, "This Child shall be your Friend, The Father so hath willed it, That thus your woes should end; The Son is freely given, That in Him ye may have The Father's grace and blessing, And know He loves to save. 3 "Nor deem the form too lowly That clothes Him at this hour; For know ye what it hideth? 'Tis God's almighty power. Though now within the manger So poor and weak He lies, He is the Lord of all things, He reigns above the skies. 4 "Sin, death, and hell, and Satan Have lost the victory; This Child shall overthrow them, As ye shall surely see; Their wrath shall nought avail them, Fear not, their reign is o'er; This Child shall overthrow them,-- O hear and doubt no more."

The happy Christmas comes once more

Author: Rev. Charles Porterfield Krauth, D. D. Hymnal: ELHW1908 #34 (1908) Lyrics: 1 The happy Christmas comes once more, The heav'nly 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 O 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 Savior 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 O wake our hearts, in gladness sing, And keep our Christmas with our King, Till living song, from loving souls, Like sound of mighty water rolls. 7 O holy Child, Thy manger gleams Till earth and heaven glow with its beams, Till midnight hath noon's brightness won, And Jacob's Star outshines the sun. 8 Thou Patriarch's joy, Thou Prophets' song, Thou heav'nly Day-Spring looked for long, Thou Son of Man, Incarnate Word, Great David's Son, great David's Lord! 9 Come Jesus, glorious heav'nly Guest, Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast; Then David's harp-strings, hushed so long, Shall swell our jubilee of song.

A great and mighty wonder

Author: St. Anatolius; John Mason Neale, D. D. Hymnal: ELHW1908 #35a (1908) Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder Our Christmas festal brings: On earth, a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings. 2 The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high; And Cherubim to shepherds Sing anthems from the sky. 3 And we with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: "To God on high be glory, And peace on earth to men!" 4 While thus they sing your Monarch, Those bright angelic bands, Rejoice, ye vales and mountains! Ye oceans, clap your hands! 5 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethlehem, The Savior and the Lord! 6 And idol-forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye.
