Joy because the circling year

Author: John Ellerton; Fenton J. A. Hort Hymnal: The Hymnal #561 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.7 with alleluias Topics: Carols Lyrics: Joy because the circling year Brings our day of blessings here; Day when first the Light divine On the Church began to shine. Like to quivering tongues of flame Unto each the Spirit came: Tongues that each might hear their call; Fire, that love might burn in all. So the wondrous works of God Wondrously were spread abroad; Every tribe's familiar tone Made the glorious marvel known. Still the Spirit's fullness, Lord, On thy waiting Church be poured! Once thou on thy Church didst shower Mighty signs and words of power; Humbler things we ask thee now, Gifts of heaven to men below; Grant our burdened heart release, Grant thine own abiding peace. Alleluia! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: NASSAU

O blest is He that came In God the Father's name! 2 O Zion, He approacheth, Thy Lord and King for aye! Strew palms where He advances, Spread garments in His way. God's promise faileth never, Hosanna sound forever! O blest is He that came In God the Father's name! 3 Fling wide thy portals, Zion, And hail thy glorious King!

As The Rose Shall Blossom Here

Author: S. D. Rodholm; N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #602 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.6 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Advent Lyrics: 1 As the rose shall blossom here All the desert places Blossom when the golden year Shines on saddened faces. Glory crowns proud Lebanon, Carmel's height has splendor won. Flowers bloom in Sharon. 2 Quiet ye the trembling hands, All the feeble strengthen, Loosen all enslaving bands, God our days would lengthen. Gleams the sword, so keen and swift, Death to foes, to friends a gift; Comes the Lord to save you. 3 Sight He gives to all the blind, Ne'er their eyes shall darken; Ev'ry mute his voice shall find, All the deaf shall harken; Like the hart the lame shall leap, Zion nevermore shall weep. Peace shall reign forever. 4 Thus Isaiah prophesied In the days of sadness. Ages passed, then far and wide Spread the news of gladness: Christ is here, with us He stands, Changing with His loving hands Desert wastes to Eden. 5 Hail our King at God's right hand, Jesus and His Spirit Lead us to the promised land We by faith inherit. And tho' death be drawing near, Words of life the deaf shall hear; Mutes shall sing His praises. Languages: English Tune Title: ROSA

Splendid Are The Heavens High

Author: J. C. Aaberg; N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #606 (1930) Meter: 7.7.8.8.7 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Lyrics: 1 Splendid are the heavens high, Beautiful the radiant sky, Where the golden stars are shining And their rays, to earth inclining, Beckon us to heav'n above, Beckon us to heav'n above. 2 It was on the holy night, Darkness veiled the stars so bright; But at once the heavens hoary Flooded were with light and glory, Coming from a wondrous star, Coming from a wondrous star. 3 When this star so fair and clear Filled with light the midnight drear, Then, according to tradition, Should a King with heav'nly mission Unto earth from heav'n descend, Unto earth from heav'n descend. 4 Sages from the East afar, When they saw this wondrous star, Went to find this King of nations And to offer their oblations Unto Him as Lord and King, Unto Him as Lord and King. 5 Him they found in Bethlehem, Yet He wore no diadem; They but saw a maiden lowly With an infant pure and holy, Resting in her loving arms, Resting in her loving arms. 6 Guided by the star, they found Him whose praise the ages sound, We, too, have a star to guide us, Which forever will provide us With the light to find our Lord. 7 And this star, as bright as day, Which will ever lead astray With its message so appealing, Is the Word of God, revealing Christ to us, our Lord and King.

Once In Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances (Humphreys) Alexander Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #608 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle-shed, Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for His bed; Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the poorest of the earth Was our holy Savior's birth. 3 Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see Him, but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; When like stars His children, crowned, All in white shall wait around.

Thy Little Ones, Dear Lord, Are We

Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #609 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Lyrics: 1 Thy little ones, dear Lord, are we, And come Thy lowly bed to see; Enlighten ev'ry soul and mind, That we the way to Thee may find. 2 With songs we hasten Thee to greet And kiss the dust before Thy feet, O blessed hour, O sweetest night, That gave Thee birth, our soul's delight. 3 Now welcome! From Thy heav'nly home, Tho' Thou to grief and tears art come: Man has on earth for Thee no room Save stable, manger, cross and tomb. 4 Alas, dear Lord, how can it be So few bestow a thought on Thee Or on the love, so wondrous great, That drew Thee down to our estate? 5 O draw us wholly to Thee, Lord, Do Thou to us Thy grace afford; True faith and love to us impart, That we may hold Thee in our heart. 6 Keep us, howe'er the world may lure, In our baptismal cov'nant pure; That ev'ry yearning tho't may be Directed only, Lord, to Thee. 7 Until at last we too acclaim, With all Thy saints, Thy glorious name; In Paradise our songs renew And praise Thee as the angels do. 8 We gather round Thee, Jesus dear, So happy in Thy presence here; O Savior, grant us this alone, To stand in heaven before Thy throne.
