The newborn Child this early morn

Author: M. Cyriacus Schneegass; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. 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. Topics: The Church Year New Year; New Year's Day Used With Tune: ALSTONE

Adam, Our Father and Our Head

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Adam, our father and our head, Transgressed, and justice doomed us dead; The fiery law speaks all despair: There’s no reprieve nor pardon there. 2. But, O unutterable grace! The Son of God takes Adam’s place; Down to our world the Savior flies, Stretches His arms, and bleeds, and dies. 3. Justice was pleased to bruise the God, And pay its wrongs with heav’nly blood: What unknown racks and pangs He bore! Then rose; the law could ask no more. 4. Amazing work! look down, ye skies, Wonder and gaze with all your eyes; Ye heav’nly thrones, stoop from above, And bow to this mysterious love. 5. Lo! they adore th’incarnate Son, And sing the glories He hath won; Sing how He broke our iron chains, How deep He sunk, how high He reigns! 6. Triumph and reign, victorious Lord, By all the flaming hosts adored; And say, dear Conqueror, say how long Ere we shall rise to join their song. 7. Send down a chariot from above, With fiery wheels, and paved with love; Raise us beyond th’ethereal blue, To sing and love as angels do.
