Jehovah Reigns, His Throne Is High
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 130 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jehovah reigns, His throne is high,
His robes are light and majesty;
His glory shines with beams so bright,
No mortal can sustain the sight.
2 His terrors keep the world in awe;
His justice guards His holy law;
His love reveals a smiling face;
His truth and promise seal the grace.
3 Through all His works His wisdom shines,
And baffles Satan’s deep designs;
His power is sovereign to fulfill
The noblest counsels of His will.
4 And will this glorious Lord descend
To be my Father and my Friend?
Then let my songs with angels join;
Heav’n is secure, if God be mine. Used With Tune: SHALEM Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs 1707-09, Book II

A Child Is Born In Bethlehem
Author: Richard F. Littledale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 A Child is born in Bethlehem
And joyful is Jerusalem.
He lies within a lowly stall,
The King who reigneth over all.
2 The ox and ass beheld that sight,
And knew Him for the Lord of Might.
The wise men hasten to their king,
And gold, and myrrh, and incense bring.
3 Sprung from no mortal father, He
Is born of pure virginity.
Unwounded by the serpent’s tooth,
He comes to us a man in sooth.
4 Like to the flesh man dwelleth in,
But all unlike to man in sin.
That He might bring our mortal race
Back to the image of His face.
5 A Child is born in Bethlehem,
And joyful is Jerusalem.
Now upon this, His natal day,
Bless we our infant Lord alway. Used With Tune: SHALEM Text Sources: Possibly from a 14th Century Benedictine processional from the monastery of St. Georg, Hradlisch, near Olmütz , Czech Republic); Tr.: Lyra Messianica by Orby Shipley (London: Longman, Green, Longman, roberts & Green, 1864)
