The New-Born Child This Early Morn

Author: Cyriacus Schneegass; Emmaneul Cronenwett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The new-born Child this early morn, The dear Christ-child of virgin born, Again brings from His heav’nly home A New Year to all Christendom. 2 This causes joy to angels fair, Who love to keep us in their care; They sing that in this wondrous Child God now with man is reconciled. 3 If God be reconciled with men, What harm can Satan do us then? O’er Satan, death, and gates of hell, This Christ-child shall for us prevail. 4 He brings the year of jubilee! Why doubt we yet despondently? Cheer up! This is a joyous day, The Christ-child drives all care away.

By Various Maxims, Forms And rules

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By various maxims, forms and rules, That pass for wisdom in the schools, I strove my passion to restrain; But all my efforts proved in vain. 2 But since the Savior I have known My rules are all reduced to one: To keep my Lord, by faith, in view; This strength supplies, and motives too. 3 I see Him lead a suffering life, So patient midst reproach and strife; And from His pattern courage take To bear, and suffer, for His sake. 4 Upon the cross I see Him bleed, And by the fight from guilt am freed; This sight destroys the life of sin, And quickens heav’nly life within. 5 To look to Jesus as He rose Confirms my faith, disarms my foes; I Satan shame and overcome, By pointing to my Savior’s tomb. 6 Exalted on His glorious throne, I see Him make my cause His own; Then all my anxious cares subside, For Jesus lives, and will provide. 7 I see Him look with pity down, And hold in view the conqueror’s crown; If pressed with griefs and cares before, My soul revives, and asks no more. 8 By faith I see the hour at hand When in His presence I shall stand; Then it will be my endless bliss, To see Him where, and as He is.

Now Let the Feeble All Be Strong

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Now let the feeble all be strong, And make Jehovah’s arm their song, His shield is spread o’er every saint, And thus supported, who shall faint? 2. What though the hosts of hell engage With mingled cruelty and rage! A faithful God restrains their hands, And chains them down in iron bands. 3. Bound by His word, He will display A strength proportioned to our day; And, when united trials meet, Will show a path of safe retreat. 4. Thus far we prove that promise good, Which Jesus ratified with blood: Still He is gracious, wise, and just, And still in Him let Israel trust.
