O Let Us Praise The Christmas Tree

Author: H. Brueckner Meter: 8.7.8.8.7.3 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Lyrics: 1 O let us praise the Christmas tree; Its beauty, how amazing! What joy it brings to you and me, And how we clap our hands in glee When all its lights are blazing! When all its lights are blazing! Yes, blazing. 2 For lo, in this most holy night The Christ to us was given; Had He not saved us by His might, In darkness there would be no light, But now the clouds are riven, But now the clouds are riven, Yes, riven. 3 And from the throne of God on high A flood of light comes streaming; The night is gone, no more we sigh, Our hearts are bright with hope and joy, Our faces, too, are beaming, Our faces, too, are beaming, Yes, beaming. 4 O Christmas tree, to thee we bring Our praises loudly chanted, And hallelujahs, too, we sing To Christ, our Prophet, Priest and King, The Life-tree, in us planted, The Life-tree, in us planted, Yes, planted.

Christmas Is Here With Joy Untold

Author: D. G. M. Back; B. S. Ingemann Meter: 8.8.9.8.8.8.9.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Lyrics: 1 Christmas is here with joy untold; Now young and old are rejoicing. What angels made known to men of old The lips of all babes are voicing; Branches from Eden's tree stand bright With lights that point to the Giver; All children whose joy is pure and right May harbor that joy forever. 2 Joy is a guest on earth today; It comes with Jesus from heaven. Come, gentle-eyed dove and sparrow gray, To feasting this morning is giv'n. Dance, little child, this festal morn, So rich in grace for each mortal; Today was our wondrous Savior born; And opened His kingdom's portal. 3 Christ was a child like you and me, And helpless lay in the manger. In Paradise where the angels be He welcomes each homesick stranger. He as our Lord among us lives, Who rules all heaven's dominions. To those of a child-like faith He gives In Eden fair angel pinions. Used With Tune: SEWEY

O take my humble offering; My heart, my soul, yea, ev'rything Is Thine to keep forever. 2 With joy I gaze upon Thy face; Thy glory and Thy splendor Is greater than my heart can praise And songs can fitly render. O that my mind might truly be As boundless as the deepest sea,-- 'Twould still be lost in wonder. 3 O grant me this abundant grace, And let it be Thy pleasure That I may be Thy dwelling-place, Dear Savior, Sweetest Treasure! O let me be Thy manger-bed, Then shall I lift my lowly head With joy beyond all measure. Used With Tune: WONNBERGER

O Have You Heard The Wondrous Story

Author: F. W. Herzberger Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8.9.8.9.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Lyrics: 1 O have you heard the wondrous story, And have you learned the news so blest? The King of kings and Lord of glory From heav'n descends to be our guest! Behold in Bethlehem a mother Beside her newborn Babe recline, A little child like any other, So human and yet all divine. 2 God's very Son comes down from heav'n In man's poor flesh and blood to dwell, A Savior by the Father given, Glad cherubim the tidings tell. O if this Child by angels cherished, Had not appeared our race to save, Mankind in sin and death had perished As Satan's helpless, trembling slave. 3 Then, dearest Child, let me enfold Thee And fondly draw Thee to my breast. My heart's Delight, firm will I hold Thee, In Thy great love forever blest. Before Thy manger kneeling ever, Thy poverty my wealth shall be, Nor life nor death my love shall sever From Thee until Thy face I see. [Solo] Christ-child, Christ-child, Thy great love I prize, Bring me, O bring me to sweet Paradise! [All] Bring me, O bring me to sweet Paradise!
