Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 861 hymnals Topics: Christ Incarnate Promise of the Messiah Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
his reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free;
to take away transgression,
and rule in equity.
2 He comes with succour speedy
to those who suffer wrong,
to help the poor and needy,
and bid the weak be strong,
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
are precious in his sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth,
and love, joy, hope, like flowers,
spring in his path to birth.
Before him, on the mountains,
shall peace, the herald, go;
and righteousness in fountains
from hill to valley flow.
4 For him shall prayer unceasing
and daily vows ascend,
his kingdom still increasing,
a kingdom without end.
The mountain dew shall nourish
a seed, in weakness sown,
whose fruit shall spread and flourish
and shake like Lebanon.
5 O'er every foe victorious,
he on his throne shall rest,
from age to age more glorious,
all blessing and all-blest.
The tide of time shall never
his covenant remove;
his name shall stand for ever,
the name to us is Love. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: ES IST EIN ROS' ENTSPRUNGEN
Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Thou didst leave Thy throne
Author: Emily E. S. Elliott, 1836-1897 Appears in 431 hymnals Topics: Bethlehem Christ born in; Christ Incarnate; Christmas Hymns; Incarnation of Jesus; The Son Christmas 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:
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
Didst Thou come to earth,
And in great humility;
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee!
3 The foxes found rest,
And the birds had their nest
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was the sod,
O Thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee!
4 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:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
Thy cross is my only plea!
5 When heaven's arches shall 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!"
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest and callest for me. Used With Tune: MARGARET
Thou didst leave Thy throne
O little town of Bethlehem
Author: Bp. Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Appears in 891 hymnals Topics: Bethlehem Christ born in; Christ Incarnate; Christmas Hymns; The Son Christmas; Incarnation of Jesus Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by:
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.
2 For Christ is born of Mary;
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth!
3 How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven:
No ear may hear His coming;
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him, still
The dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in;
Be born in us to-day,
We hear the heavenly angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord, Immanuel. Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM
O little town of Bethlehem

from tender stem has sprung!
Of Jesse’s lineage coming
as saints 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 us a Savior,
when half spent was the night.
3 Flower, whose fragrance tender
with sweetness fills the air,
dispel in glorious splendor
gloom and grief ev’rywhere.
True man, yet very God,
from sin and death he saves us,
and lightens ev’ry load.

salvation to the Lamb!"

your people's everlasting light,
O Christ, redeemer of us all,
we pray you, hear us when we call.

all knees must bend, all hearts must bow:

join those in heaven to call you Lord.

Praise
Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 133 hymnals Topics: The Incarnation of Christ First Line: Awake, awake the sacred song Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake the sacred song
To our incarnate Lord;
Let ev'ry heart, and ev'ry tongue
Adore th’eternal word.
2 That awful word, that sov'reign pow'r,
By whom the worlds were made;
(O happy marn! illustrious hour!)
Was once in flesh array'd!
3 Then shone almighty pow'r and love
In all their glorious forms:
When Jesus left his throne above
To dwell with sinful worms.
4 To dwell with misery below,
The Saviour left the skies;
And sunk to wretchedness and woe,
That worthless man might rise.
5 Adoring angels tun'd their songs
To hail the joyful day;
With rapture then, let mortal tongues
Their grateful worship pay.
6 What glory, Lord, to thee is due!
With wonder we adore;
But could we sing as angels do,
Our highest praise were poor.
Scripture: Psalm 113:1-2
