What Child Is This
Author: William C. Dix, 1837-1898 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.8.6.7 Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: Biblical Names and Places Mary First Line: What child is this, who, laid to rest Lyrics: 1 What child is this, who, laid to rest,
on Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
while shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
haste, haste to bring him laud,
the babe, the son of Mary!
2 Why lies he in such mean estate
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
the cross be borne for me, for you;
hail, hail for Word made flesh,
the babe, the son of Mary!
3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh;
come, peasant, king, to own him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
the virgin sings her lullaby;
joy, joy, for Christ is born,
the babe, the son of Mary.

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,621 hymnals Topics: Biblical Names and Places Manna Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away our fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole
and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary, rest.
3 O Jesus, Shepherd, Guardian, Friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
4 How weak the effort of my heart,
how cold my warmest thought;
but when I see you as you are,
I'll praise you as I ought.
5 Till then I would your love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of your name
refresh my soul in death. Scripture: Acts 4:12 Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Unto Us a Boy is Born
Author: Percy Dearmer; George Ratcliff Woodward Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Biblical Places Bethlehem First Line: Unto us a boy is born! Lyrics: 1 Unto us a boy is born!
King of all creation,
came he to a world forlorn,
the Lord of every nation,
the Lord of every nation.
2 Christ from heaven descending low
comes, on earth a stranger;
ox and ass their owner know;
becradled in the manger,
becradled in the manger.
3 Herod then with fear was filled:
"A prince," he said, "in Jewry!"
All the little boys he killed
at Bethlem in his fury,
at Bethlem in his fury.
4 Now may Mary's son, who came
so long ago to love us,
lead us all with hearts aflame
unto the joys above us,
unto the joys above us.
5 Omega and Alpha he!
Let the organ thunder,
while the choir with peals of glee
doth rend the air asunder,
doth rend the air asunder. Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR Text Sources: German carol, 15th century

According to Thy Gracious Word
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 549 hymnals Topics: Biblical Names & Places Calvary; Biblical Names & Places Gethsemane; Biblical Names & Places Calvary; Biblical Names & Places Gethsemane Lyrics: 1 According to thy gracious word,
in meek humility
this will I do, my loving Lord:
I will remember thee.
2 Thy body, given for my sake,
my bread from heaven shall be;
thy testamental cup I take,
and thus remember thee.
3 Gethsemane can I forget,
or there thy conflict see,
thine agony and bloody sweat,
and not remember thee?
4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes
and rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,
I must remember thee.
5 And when these failing lips grow dumb,
and mind and memory flee,
when thou shalt in thy kingdom come,
then, Lord, remember me.
Scripture: Luke 22:19-20 Used With Tune: BANGOR

Author: John Bakewell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 625 hymnals Topics: Biblical Names & Places Galilee/Galilean; Biblical Names & Places Galilee/Galilean Lyrics: 1 Hail, O once-despised Jesus!
Hail, O Galilean King!
You have suffered to release us,
hope and joy and peace to bring.
Hail, O agonizing Savior,
bearer of our sin and shame;
by your merits we find favor;
life is given through your name.
2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
all our sins on you were laid;
by almighty love anointed,
you have full atonement made.
All your people are forgiven
through the virtue of your blood;
opened is the gate of heaven;
we are reconciled to God.
3 Jesus! Heavenly hosts adore you,
seated at your Father's side.
Crucified this world once saw you;
now in glory you abide.
There for sinners you are pleading,
and our place you now prepare,
ever for us interceding,
till in glory we appear.
4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing
you are worthy to receive;
loudest praises, without ceasing,
right it is for us to give.
Help, O bright angelic spirits,
all your noblest anthems raise;
help to sing our Savior's merits,
help to chant Immanuel's praise.
