Good News from Heaven the Angels Bring

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Mystical union First Line: Good news from heav'n the angels bring Lyrics: 1 Good news from heav'n the angels bring, Glad tidings to the earth they sing: To us this day a Child is giv'n, To crown us with the joy of heav'n. 2 This is the Christ, our God and Lord, Who in all need shall aid afford; He will Himself our Saviour be, And from our sins will set us free. 3 All hail, Thou noble Guest, this morn, Whose love did not the sinner scorn: In my distress Thou com'st to me, What thanks shall I return to Thee? 4 Were earth a thousand times as fair, Beset with gold and jewels rare, She yet were far too poor to be A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee. 5 Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child, Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled, Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee. 6 Praise God upon His heavenly throne, Who gave to us His only Son; For this His hosts, on joyful wing, A blest New Year of mercy sing. Amen. Used With Tune: VOM HIMMEL HOCH DA KOMM ICH HER

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 419 hymnals Topics: Mystical union 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. 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 bird had its 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 children free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. 5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels 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." My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest to call for me. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 8:20 Used With Tune: MARGARET

Holy Ghost, with Light Divine

Author: Andrew Reed Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 783 hymnals Topics: Mystical union Lyrics: 1 Holy Ghost, with light divine, Shine upon this heart of mine, Chase the shades of night away, Turn the darkness into day. 2 Let me see my Saviour’s face, Let me all His beauties trace; Show those glorious truths to me Which are only known to Thee. 3 Holy Ghost, with power divine, Cleanse this guilty heart of mine; In Thy mercy pity me, From sin's bondage set me free. 4 Holy Ghost, with joy divine, Cheer this saddened heart of mine; Yield a sacred, settled peace, Let it grow and still increase. 5 Holy Spirit, all divine, Dwell within this heart of mine; Cast down every idol throne, Reign supreme, and reign alone. 6 See, to Thee I yield my heart; Shed Thy life through every part, A pure temple I would be, Wholly dedicate to Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: HORTON

Now hear me while I pray; take all my guilt away.

As thou hast died for me, O may my love to thee pure, warm, and changeless be, a living fire. Used With Tune: OLIVET
