Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

Author: Theodore Baker; Harriett R. Spaeth; John C. Mattes Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #305 (2018) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Topics: Christ Birth of Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a rose e'er blooming from tender stem hath sprung, of Jesse's lineage coming, as men of old have sung. It came, a floweret bright, amid the cold of winter, when half-spent was the night. 2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it, the rose I have in mind; with Mary we behold it, the virgin mother kind. To show God's love aright she bore to men a Savior, when half-spent was the night. 3 The shepherds heard the story, proclaimed by angels bright, how Christ, the Lord of glory, was born on earth this night. To Bethlehem they sped and in the manger found him, as angel heralds said. 4 This flow'r, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, dispels with glorious splendor the darkness ev'rywhere. True man, yet very God, from sin and death he saves us and lightens ev'ry load. 5 O Savior, child of Mary, who felt our human woe; O Savior, King of glory, who dost our weakness know, bring us at length, we pray, to the bright courts of heaven and to the endless day.

Christians, Awake, Salute the Happy Morn

Author: John Byrom Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #312 (2018) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Topics: Christ Birth of Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn, whereon the Savior of the world was born; rise to adore the mystery of love, which hosts of angels chanted from above; with them the joyful tidings were begun of God incarnate and the Virgin's son. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, who heard th'angelic herald's voice: "Behold, I bring good tidings of a Savior's birth to you and all the nations on the earth: this day hath God fulfilled his promised word, this day is born a Savior, Christ the Lord." 3 He spake, and straightway the celestial choir in hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire; the praises of redeeming love they sang, and heav'n's whole orb with alleluias rang; God's highest glory was their anthem still, peace on the earth, and unto men good will. 4 To Bethl'hem straight the happy shepherds ran, to see the wonder God had wrought for man; and found, with Joseph and the blessed maid, her son, the Savior, in a manger laid; amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim, the earliest heralds of the Savior's name. 5 Oh, may we keep and ponder in our mind God's wondrous love in saving lost mankind! Trace we the babe, who hath retrieved our loss, from his poor manger to his bitter cross. Tread in his steps, assisted by his grace, till our imperfect state God doth replace. 6 Then may we hope, th'angelic throngs among, to sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song; he that was born upon this joyful day around us all his glory shall display; saved by his love, incessant we shall sing eternal praise to heav'n's almighty King.
