Rejoice, Rejoice, Ye Christians

Author: C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #132 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Nativity of our Lord Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians, With all your hearts, this morn! O hear the blessed tidings, "The Lord, the Christ, is born," Now brought us by the angels That stand about God's throne; Oh lovely are the voices That make such tidings known! 2 Oh 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 pow'r. 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,-- Oh hear, and doubt no more. Languages: English

Whilst tending on their fleecy care

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms with occasional hymns (Charleston hymnal) #H.V (1792) Topics: The Nativity of Our Lord and Savior Lyrics: 1 Whilst tending on their fleecy care, Judean shepherd's watch'd by night; Celestial music fill'd the air, And all the welkin flam'd with light. 2 That mighty God, that King of Kings, Whom heav'n and all its hosts obey; Arch-angels, veiling with their wings Their faces, whilst they homage pay. 3 That God, who laid his glories by, Assum'd an Infant's helpless form; And in a stable deign'd to lie, Where beasts seek shelter from the storm. 4 For man transgress'd, and tempted fell; Though warn'd to shun the paths he trod: And justice doom'd the race to hell, That dar'd the vengeance of their God: 5 But mercy at the throne above, Still pleaded for the rebel slave; And, on the wings of pitying love, Came God, to succour and to save. 5 Amazement seiz'd the hosts above, To see the ills their Maker bore: And man, shall man behold such love, And not in humble dust adore? 6 Let praise fro ev'ry tongue ascend, Let gratitude each heart inspire; The skies let Hallelujahs rend, And loud Hosannas swell the lyre.
