sweet peace sits crowned with smiles,
and One born in a manger
commands the beauteous files.

and — O my soul, awake! —
did in pure love descend,
to die here for thy sake.

there grows the flower of peace,
the rose that cannot wither,
thy fortress and thy ease.

for none can thee secure
but one who never changes,
thy God, thy life, thy cure. Topics: Creation Used With Tune: CHRISTUS DER IST MEIN LEBEN

Author: Thomas Pestel, 1585-1659 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:6-16 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the great Creator makes
himself a house of clay,
a robe of virgin flesh he takes
which he will wear for aye.

like a weak infant cries;
in form of servant is the Lord,
and God in cradle lies.

it shook the starry frame;
squadrons of spirits stood and gazed,
then down in troops they came.
4 Glad shepherds ran to view this sight;
a choir of angels sings,
and eastern sages with delight
adore this King of kings.
5 Join then, all hearts that are not stone,
and all our voices prove,
to celebrate this Holy One,
the God of peace and love. Topics: Christmas II Used With Tune: THIS ENDRIS NYGHT
