Hail, thou ever blessèd morn

Author: Edward Caswall (1814-78) Appears in 164 hymnals First Line: See, amid the winter's snow Lyrics: 1 See, amid the winter’s snow, Born for us on earth below, See the Lamb of God appears Promised from eternal years. Refrain: Hail, thou ever blessèd morn! Hail, redemption’s happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem: Christ is born in Bethlehem. 2 Say, ye holy shepherds, say What your joyful news today; Wherefore have ye left your sheep On the lonely mountain steep? 3 As we watched at dead of night, Lo, we saw a wondrous light; Angels singing peace on earth Told us of a Saviour’s birth. 4 Sacred Infant, all divine, What a tender love was thine, Thus to come from highest bliss Down to such a world as this! 5 Teach, O teach us, holy Child, By thy face so meek and mild, Teach us to resemble thee In thy sweet humility.

They all were looking for a king

Author: George MacDonald (1824-1905) Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 They all were looking for a king To slay their foes and lift them high; Thou cam’st a little baby thing That made a woman cry. 2 O Son of man, to right my lot Nought but thy presence can avail; Yet on the road thy wheels are not, Nor on the sea thy sail. 3 My fancied ways why should’st thou heed? Thou com’st down thine own secret stair; Com’st down to answer all my need, Yea, every bygone prayer. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Birth

When wise men came seeking for Jesus from far

Author: Richard Slater (1854-1939) Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When wise men came seeking for Jesus from far, With rich gifts to greet him and led by a star, They found in a stable the Saviour of men, A manger his cradle, so poor was he then. 2 Though laid in a manger, he came from a throne, On earth though a stranger, in Heaven he was known. How lowly, how gracious his coming to earth! His love my love kindles to joy in his birth. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Birth

Author: S. Z. Kaufman; Gordon Taylor Appears in 63 hymnals First Line: Have you ever heard the story Lyrics: 1 Have you ever heard the story Of the babe of Bethlehem, Who was worshipped by the angels And the wise and holy men? How he taught the learned doctors In the Temple far away? O I’m glad, so glad to tell you, He is just the same today! Refrain: Just the same, just the same, He is just the same today. Just the same, just the same, He is just the same today. 2 Have you ever heard the story How he walked upon the sea, To his dear disciples tossing On the waves of Galilee? How the waves in angry motion Quickly did his will obey? O I’m glad, so glad to tell you, He is just the same today! 3 Have you ever heard of Jesus Praying in Gethsemane, And the ever-thrilling story, How he died upon the tree, Cruel thorns his forehead piercing, As his spirit passed away? This he did for you, my brother, And he’s just the same today! 4 Have you ever heard of Jesus Who was buried in the tomb, And was mourned by his disciples In despair, defeat and gloom. By the power of God eternal, He arose on Easter day, And he lives for our salvation: He is just the same today! Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Life and teaching

Tell me the old, old story

Author: Arabella Catherine Hankey (1834-1911) Appears in 509 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tell me the old, old story Of unseen things above, Of Jesus and his glory, Of Jesus and his love. Tell me the story simply, As to a little child, For I am weak and weary, And helpless and defiled. Refrain: Tell me the old, old story, Tell me the old, old story, Tell me the old, old story Of Jesus and his love. 2 Tell me the story slowly, That I may take it in, That wonderful redemption, God’s remedy for sin. Tell me the story often, For I forget so soon; The early dew of morning Has passed away at noon. 3 Tell me the story softly, With earnest tones and grave; Remember! I’m the sinner Whom Jesus came to save. Tell me the story always, If you would really be In any time of trouble A comforter to me. 4 Tell me the same old story When you have cause to fear That this world’s empty glory Is costing me too dear. Yes, and when that world’s glory Is dawning on my soul, Tell me the old, old story: Christ Jesus makes thee whole. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Life and teaching

Tell me the story of Jesus

Author: Fanny Crosby (1820-1915) Appears in 227 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart every word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard. Tell how the angels in chorus Sang, as they welcomed his birth: Glory to God in the highest, Peace and good tidings to earth! Refrain: Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart every word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard. 2 Fasting alone in the desert, Tell of the days that he passed; How he was tried and was tempted, Yet was triumphant at last. Tell of the years of his labours, Tell of the sorrows he bore; He was despised and afflicted, Homeless, rejected and poor. 3 Tell of the cross where they nailed him, Mocking his anguish and pain; Tell of the grave where they laid him; Tell how he liveth again. Love in that story so tender, Clearer than ever I see; Glory for ever to Jesus, He paid the ransom for me. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Life and teaching

Author: Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott (1836-97) Appears in 419 hymnals First Line: Thou didst leave thy throne and thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave thy throne and thy kingly crown When thou camest to earth for me; But in Bethlehem’s home was there found no room For thy holy nativity. Refrain: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus; There is room in my heart for thee. 2 Heaven’s arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming thy royal degree; But of lowly birth cam’st thou, Lord, on earth And in great humility. 3 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word That should set thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore thee to Calvary. 4 When Heaven’s arches ring, and her choirs shall sing, At thy coming to victory, Let thy voice call me home, saying: Yet there is room, There is room at my side for thee! Refrain: And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When thou comest and callest for me. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Life and teaching

Refrain: The Saviour now will give, The Saviour now will give, Eternal life to all who seek, The Saviour now will give. 2 Who comes to me, the Saviour said, That soul will I supply With portions of that living bread Which riches cannot buy. That soul shall never hunger more, But filled shall ever be With plenty from the unfailing store He ever finds in me. 3 Who comes to me, the Saviour said, Shall constantly partake The stream that from the fountain-head Alone his thirst can slake. Who seeks in faith that fountain pure, His freshness shall retain, Shall peace and happiness ensure And never thirst again. 4 Who comes to me, the Saviour said, And follows where I lead, Shall see my light upon him shed And in my pastures feed. No more shall darkness cloud his way, My love his fear shall quell, The gloom that once obscured his day My presence shall dispel. Topics: The gospel Invitation
