Good News From heaven To Earth I Bear

Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: HCH11927 #92 (1927) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Good news from heave'n to earth I bear And now with you will gladly share; My story is a joyful lay, So hear what I shall have to say. 2 This night to you is born a Child, The chosen Virgin's Infant mild, And He, a Child of lowly birth, Shall be the Joy of all the earth. 3 This sign I, too, would have you mark: the swaddling clothes, the manger dark; In these the Infant now is laid By whom both heav'n and earth were made. 4 He is the Christ, our God and Lord, Whose name we praise with one accord; Your Savior He has deigned to be, And from all sin will set you free. 5 Rich gifts He has in store for you, Prepared by God, our Father true; In yonder kingdom bright and fair You shall with us His glory share. 6 Oh, let us then most happy be And with the shepherds go to see What blessings God for us has won By sending us His only Son. 7 To that small crib direct your eyes; Behold a a gift that angels prize! Who is this Child so wondrous fair? The blessed Christ-child lieth there. 8 We welcome Thee, most noble Guest, Through whom this sinful world is blest. Thy coming is a boon for me; What thanks shall I return to Thee? Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: [Good news from heaven to earth I bear]

Be Welcome Again, God's Angels Bright

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: HCH11927 #94 (1927) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 Be welcome again, God’s angels bright, From mansions of light and glory To publish anew this wintry night The news of your joyful story; Ye herald to all that yearn for light New Year after winter hoary. 2 With gladness we hear your sweet refrain In praise of God’s glory solely; Ye will not this blessed night disdain To enter our dwellings lowly And bring to each yearning heart again The joy that is pure and holy. 3 In homes of the poor, in mansions rare, With lights thro' the windows glowing, We harbor the babes as sweet and fair As flowers in meadows growing; Oh, deign with these little ones to share The joy from your message flowing. 4 Then sweetly they dream of Bethlehem And, tho' we may pause and ponder. They truly envision Him that came And dwelt among shepherds yonder. They dream they are standing there with them Whose songs they have heard with wonder. 5 They see in the manger th'Christ-child still With angels around Him singing The song of God’s glory: peace, good will, Which joy to all hearts is bringing As far over mountain, plain and hill The bells are with gladness ringing. 6 God’s angels with joy to men descend Where hymns to God's praise are chanted; His comfort and peace the Lord will lend To all who for peace have panted; The portals of heaven open stand; The kingdom to us is granted.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: HCH11927 #95 (1927) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary; And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav'n. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel. Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: [O little town of Bethlehem]

Now Found Is The Fairest Of Roses

Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: HCH11927 #96 (1927) Meter: 9.9.9.9 Lyrics: 1 Now found is the fairest of roses, 'Mongst briars it sweetly reposes; My Jesus so precious and holy Abode among sinners so lowly. 2 Since man his Creator deserted And wholly His image perverted, The world like a desert was lying And all in transgression were dying. 3 But God, as His promise had granted, A Rose in the desert has planted, Which now is with sweetness endowing The race that in evil was growing. 4 All men should with gladness forever Give praises to God for His favor, But many have ne’er comprehended: The Rose to the world has descended. 5 Ye sinners, perverse and proud-minded, Whose souls in transgressions are blinded, Why are ye so prideful in spirit And trust in your self-righteous merit. 6 Oh, seek ye the places most lowly And weep before Jesus the Holy, Then gain ye His sweetness for malice, For roses grow fairest in valleys. 7 My Jesus, Thou ever remainest My glory and crown, who sustainest My heart in the fulness of pleasure; Thy sweetness alone I will treasure. 8 The world may of all things bereave me, Its thorns may annoy and aggrieve me, The foe may afflictions engender, My Rose I will never surrender.

I See Thee Stand, O Lamb Of God

Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: HCH11927 #99 (1927) Lyrics: 1 I see Thee stand, O Lamb of God, On Zion's mountain peak; But oh, the path that Thou hast trod So long, so hard, so bleak! On Thee was laid the weight and blame Of all our sin and shame; How deep Thou sankest in our woe No man can ever know. 2 O spotless Lamb that on the tree Receiv'd the cruel wound! O boundless love! to set us free He in our chains was bound. He wore and broke our prison bands With pierced feet and hands; A victor bold the tomb He broke, Gave death its mortal stroke. 3 Behold them stand around His throne, Those legions snowy white; Each eye is gleaming like the sun At this most wondrous sight. The story of grim Calvary On which He made us free, Is still among the angels' throng The noblest, sweetest song. 4 Twelve thousand twelve are holding now Their harps before the throne, The Father's name upon each brow Marks them the Savior's own. As mighty, rushing billows roar, They shout forevermore: To Him who won us from our plight Be glory, praise and might! 5 We thank Thee, Father, for Thy love To Adam's fallen race; Thou sentest Jesus from above To die in sinners' place. Praise we His name with fleeting breath, Praise Him in life and death; To Him who suffered on the tree Praise through eternity.

Oh, Come, And Stand Beneath The Cross

Author: Thomas Kingo Hymnal: HCH11927 #100 (1927) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Oh come, and stand beneath the cross Lyrics: 1 Oh, come and stand beneath the cross And hear what Jesus speaks to us; The words that from His mouth proceed Will comfort us in times of need. 2 He pray'd for all His enemies: "O Father dear, forgive them this; They know not what they do and say, But blindly walk their sinful way." 3 O Jesus, pray Thou, too, for me That I increase my strength in Thee, My heart is weak, my eyes are blind, But grant that I Thy light may find. 4 And when His mother He beheld, Whose heart with agony was fill'd, He said: "Behold thy mother, John!" And unto her: "Behold thy son!" 5 O Jesus, should I suffer loss And stand forsaken with my cross, Yea, even scorn'd by man I be, Send friends of Thine to comfort me. 6 The robber who his sins confessed Found comfort in his Savior blest, Who took the sting of death away And opened Paradise for aye. 7 Oh, let me, too, when death is near, From Thine own lips with gladness hear The blessed words: "Come thou to be Today in Paradise with me." 8 He then the words in anguish spoke, At which the earth and heaven shook; "My God," He cried in agony, "Why hast Thou thus forsaken me?" 9 God's wrath Thou borest on the cross, For me Thou borest grief and loss, For me Thou didst in anguish cry And die that I should never die. 10 "I thirst," He said; O evil thought, A sop of vinegar they brought! O Jesus, through its bitterness Thou drank'st the cup of my distress. 11 "'Tis finished!" said our dying Lord; O blessed comfort, glorious word! My sin and shame on Him were laid, And all my debts forever paid. 12 His final word, this blessed cry, Was full of hope from heaven high; He cried: "My Father, I commend My spirit in Thy loving hand." 13 Oh, how this word sweet hope instills And heart and soul with comfort fills! Oh, may that also be the word Which at my death I speak, O Lord! Topics: Passion and Easter Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, come and stand beneath the cross]
