What Child Is This
Author: William Chatterton Dix Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.8.6.7 Appears in 212 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Incarnation 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 low estate
where ox and lamb 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, the 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! Used With Tune: GREENSLEEVES

'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest (1814-1877) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 301 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death Lyrics: 1 'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said,
'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross with willing heart
and humbly follow after me.'
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak soul with vain alarm;
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
the Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home,
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55 Used With Tune: BRESLAU

Ye who the name of Jesus bear
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Our Response to Christ In Discipleship; Humility; Jesus incarnation; Jesus Life and Ministry; Jesus Name Lyrics: 1 Ye who the name of Jesus bear,
his sacred steps pursue;
and let that mind which was in him
be also found in you.
2 His greatness he for us abased,
for us his glory veiled;
in human likeness dwelt on earth,
his majesty concealed:
3 Nor only as a man appears,
but stoops a servant low;
submits to death, nay, bears the cross,
in all its shame and woe.
4 Hence God this generous love to all
with honours just hath crowned,
and raised the name of Jesus far
above all names renowned:
5 That at this name, with sacred awe,
each humble knee should bow,
of hosts immortal in the skies,
and nations spread below. Scripture: Philippians 2:5 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781, Paraphrase 52, verses 1, 3-6

and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood,
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heavenly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the pow'rs of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph,
cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the Presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry.
