Rejoice, rejoice, ye sons of clay!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Lyrics: 1 REJOICE, rejoice, ye sons of clay! God comes to you from heaven to-day; The Lord is born a little child Of Mary, virgin undefiled. 2 He is the Branch of Jesse's tree, The Lion out of Judah, He The Gentiles' Light, the promised Seed Who was to bruise the Serpent's head. 3 He brings us peace and happiness, And heals all sorrow and distress Which on account of Adam's fall Forever weighed upon us all. 4 Through His low birth and holy blood We all are saved by Christ, true God; The angel's glory we shall share, And in His kingdom live fore'er.

Let the earth now praise the Lord

Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Lyrics: 1 LET the earth now praise the Lord, Who hath truly kept His word, And the sinners’ Help and Friend Now at last to us doth send. 2 What the fathers most desired, What the prophets’ heart inspired, What they longed for many a year, Stands fulfilled in glory here. 3 Abram’s promised great Reward, Zion’s Helper, Jacob’s Lord, Him of twofold race behold, Truly came, as long foretold. 4 Welcome, O my Saviour, now! Hail! My Portion, Lord, art Thou! Here, too, in my heart, I pray, O prepare Thyself a way. 5 King of glory, enter in! Cleanse it from the filth of sin, As Thou hast so often done; It belongs to Thee alone. 6 As Thy coming was in peace, Noiseless, full of gentleness, Let the same mind dwell in me That was ever found in Thee. 7 Comfort my desponding heart; Thou my Strength and Refuge art. I am weak, and cunningly Satan lays his snares for me. 8 Bruise for me the Serpent’s head, That, set free from doubt and dread, I may cleave to Thee in faith, Safely kept through life and death: 9 And when Thou dost come again As a glorious King to reign, I with joy may see Thy face, Truly ransomed by Thy grace.

Come, Thou Saviour of our race!

Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas First Line: Come, Thou Saviour of our race Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Saviour of our race, Choicest Gift of heavenly grace! O Thou blessed Virgin's Son, Be Thy race on earth begun. 2 Not of mortal blood or birth, He descends from heaven to earth: By the Holy Ghost conceived, Truly man to be believed. 3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child! Of the Virgin, undefiled! Though by all the world disowned, Still to be in heaven enthroned. 4 From the Father forth He came And returneth to the same; Captive leading death and hell,-- High the song of triumph swell! 5 Equal to the Father now, Though to dust Thou once didst bow, Boundless shall Thy kingdom be; When shall we its glories see? 6 Brightly doth Thy manger shine! Glorious in its light divine: Let not sin o'ercloud this light, Ever be our faith thus bright.
