All my heart this night rejoices

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Paul Gerhardt, 1607 - 76 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #26 (1958) Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night rejoices As I hear, far and near, Sweetest angel voices; 'Christ is born,' their choirs are singing, Till the air everywhere Now with joy is ringing. 2 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, doth entreat, 'Flee from woe and danger; Brethren, come; from all that grieves you You are freed; all you need I will surely give you.' 3 Come, then, let us hasten yonder; Here let all, great and small, Kneel in awe and wonder, Love him who with love is yearning; Hail the star that from far Bright with hope is burning.

O little town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #27a (1958) Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth! A-men. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous Gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS (REDNER)

The happy Christmas comes once more

Author: Charles Porterfield Krauth, 1823-83; Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig, 1783 - 1872 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #28 (1958) Lyrics: 1 The happy Christmas comes once more, The heavenly guest is at the door, The blessed words the shepherds thrill, The joyous tidings, 'Peace, good-will.' 2 The lowly Saviour meekly lies, Laid off the splendor of the skies; No crown bedecks his forehead fair, No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there. A-men. 3 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. 4 O holy Child, thy manger gleams Till earth and heaven glow with it beams, Till midnight noon's broad light hath won, And Jacob's star outshines the sun. 5 Thou patriarchs' joy, thou prophets' song, Thou heavenly Dayspring, looked for long, Thou Son of Man, incarnate Word, Great David's Son, great David's Lord: 6 Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest, Keep thine own Christmas in our breast, Then David's harpstrings, hushed so long, Shall swell our jubilee of song. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: EMMANUEL

This Child, now born in infancy, Our confidence and joy shall be, The power of Satan breaking, Our peace eternal making. 2 All blessing, thanks and praise to thee, Lord Jesus Christ, be given: Thou hast our brother deigned to be, Our foes in sunder riven. O grant us through our day of grace With constant praise to seek thy face; Grant us ere long in glory With praises to adore thee. Amen.

Young and old their voices blending, Praise are sending Unto heaven For the Saviour to us given. 2 Like other men, he tears will shed, Our sorrows share, and be our aid, Through his eternal power, The love of God on us bestow, And mingle in our cup of woe The drops of mercy’s shower; Dearly buying through his passion Our salvation, And to mortals Opening the heavenly portals. 3 He comes, for our redemption sent, And by his glory heaven is rent To close upon us never; Our blessèd Shepherd he would be, Whom we may follow faithfully To live with him forever, Unto realms of glory winging, Praises singing To the Father And the Son, and Spirit, ever.

The holy Son of God most high

Author: Henry More, 1614-87 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #34 (1958) Lyrics: 1 The holy Son of God most high, For love of Adam’s lapsed race, Quit the sweet pleasures of the sky To bring us to that happy place. 2 His robes of light he laid aside, Which did his majesty adorn, And the frail state of mortals tried, In human flesh and figure born. 3 Whole choirs of angels loudly sing The mystery of his sacred birth, And the blest news to shepherds bring, Filling their watchful souls with mirth. 4 The Son of God thus man became, That men the sons of God might be, And by their second birth regain A likeness to his deity.
