When Christ was born of Mary free
Have mercy, Lord
Meter: 8.7.8.8.4 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas First Line: All praise to Jesus' hallowed name Lyrics: 1 ALL praise to Jesus' hallowed name,
Who of virgin pure became
True man for us! The angels sing,
As the glad news to earth they bring.
Have mercy, Lord.
2 Th'eternal Father's only Son
For a manger leaves His throne;
Disguised in our poor flesh and blood
Is now the everlasting Good.
Have mercy, Lord.
3 He whom the world could not inclose
Doth in Mary's lap repose.
He is become an infant small,
Who by His might upholdeth all.
Have mercy, Lord.
4 Th'eternal Light, come down from heaven,
Hath to us new sunshine given;
It shineth in the midst of night,
And maketh us the sons of light.
Have mercy, Lord.
5 The Father's Son, God ever blest,
In the world become a guest;
He leads us from this vale of tears,
And makes us in His kingdom heirs.
Have mercy, Lord.
6 He came to earth despised and poor,
Man to pity and restore,
And make us rich in heaven above,
Equal with angels through His love.
Have mercy, Lord.
7 All this He did, that He might prove
To us sinners His great love;
For this let Christendom adore
And praise His name forevermore.
Have mercy, Lord.
Have mercy, Lord
O'er the distant mountains breaking
Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas Advent First Line: O'er the distant mountains breaking Lyrics: 1 O'er the distant mountains breaking
Comes the reddening dawn of day;
Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking,
Rise, and sing, and watch, and pray;
'Tis Thy Saviour, 'Tis Thy Saviour,
On His bright returning way.
2 O Thou long-expected! Wear
Waits my anxious soul for Thee;
Life is dark, and earth is dreary,
Where Thy light I do not see;
O my Saviour, O my Saviour,
When wilt Thou return to me?
3 Nearer is my soul's salvation,
Spent the night, the day at hand;
Keep me in my lowly station,
Watching for Thee, till I stand,
O my Saviour, O my Saviour,
In Thy bright and promsied land.
4 With my lamp, well trimmed and burning,
Swift to hear and slow to roam,
Watching for Thy glad returning,
To restore me to my home.
Come, my Saviour, Come, my Saviour,
Thou hast promised; quickly come.

Isaiah the prophet has written of old
Author: Joy F. Patterson (b. 1931) Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Hymns and Spiritual Songs Advent and Christmas Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old
how God's earthly kingdom shall come.
Instead of the thorn tree the fir tree shall grow;
the wolf shall lie down with the lamb.
The mountains and hills shall break forth into song,
The peoples be led forth in peace.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God
as the waters cover the seas.
2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world.
And conflict turns parent from child.
Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth;
the brier and the thorn grow wild.
Lord, hasten to bring in your kingdom on earth,
when no one shall hurt or destroy.
When wisdom and justice shall reign in the land
and your people shall go forth in joy. Scripture: Isaiah 11:5-9 Used With Tune: SAMANTHRA

I have heard of a tree (Heaven's Christmas Tree)
Author: Charles A. Tindley Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas First Line: I have heard of a tree, a great Christmas tree Refrain First Line: There is a package for me on that tree Lyrics: 1 I have heard of a tree, a great Christmas tree,
it was fixed in yon Bethlehem's stall,
The blessings of heaven for you and for me,
a Christmas present for all.
Refrain:
There is a package for me on that tree;
a precious token that someone loves me.
Oh yes, I can see on Calvary's tree,
that there is a package for me.
2 There is one I behold in letters of gold,
it hangs on a limb near to me,
'Tis labeled "salvation," and Jesus, I'm told,
has bought that package for me. [Refrain]
3 There is one just above, it's title is love,
it is marked by a deep crimson stain.
For there it was tied by the Lord when he died,
and glory to his dear name. [Refrain]
4 Another I see, it must be for me,
the worlds "I will help you" I read.
While holding his hand, by faith I can stand,
and this is the package I need. [Refrain]
5 There are many, I'm sure, but just this one more
I speak of above all the rest.
It spells "happy home" with God near the throne,
a place where the weary shall rest. [Refrain]
