Hymnal: Laudis Corona #34 (1880) First Line: Come, ye lofty! come, ye lowly! Lyrics: 1 Come, ye lofty! come, ye lowly!
Let your songs of gladness ring!
In a stable lies the Holy,
In a manger rests the King,
See, in Mary's arms reposing,
Christ, by highest heav'n adored:
Come, your circle round Him closing,
Pious hearts that love the Lord.
2 Come, ye poor! no pomp of station
Robes the Child your hearts adore:
He, the Lord of all salvation,
Shares your want, is weak and poor:
Oxen round about behold them,
Rafters naked, cold and bare:
See the shepherds! God has told them
That the "Prince of Peace" lies there.
3 High above a star is shining,
And the Wise Men haste from far:
Come, glad hearts, and spirits pining,
For you all has ris'n the star.
Let s bring our glad oblations,
Thanks, and love, and faith, and praise;
Come, ye people! Come, ye nations!
All in all draw nigh to gaze.
4 Hark! the Heaven of heavens is ringing,
Christ the Lord to man is born!
Are not all our hearts, too, singing,
Welcome, welcome, Christmas morn?
Still the Child, all power possessing,
Smiles as through the ages past,
And the song of Christmas blessing
Sweetly sinks to rest at last. Languages: English Tune Title: [Come, ye lofty! come, ye lowly!]
Come, ye lofty! come, ye lowly
Come, ye lofty! Come, ye lowly!

Come, ye gentle hearts and tender!
Come, ye spirits brave and bold!
All-in-All your homage render,
Weak and mighty, young and old.

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "Come, ye lofty, come, ye lowly" in Hymns of the Centuries (Chapel Edition) In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

George J. Elvey
1816 - 1893 Person Name: George Job Elvey Composer of "[Come, ye lofty, come, ye lowly]" in The Cyber Hymnal George Job Elvey (b. Canterbury, England, 1816; d. Windlesham, Surrey, England, 1893) As a young boy, Elvey was a chorister in Canterbury Cathedral. Living and studying with his brother Stephen, he was educated at Oxford and at the Royal Academy of Music. At age nineteen Elvey became organist and master of the boys' choir at St. George Chapel, Windsor, where he remained until his retirement in 1882. He was frequently called upon to provide music for royal ceremonies such as Princess Louise's wedding in 1871 (after which he was knighted). Elvey also composed hymn tunes, anthems, oratorios, and service music.
