The Nativity

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1,360 hymnals Topics: Advent of Christ At Birth; Advent of Christ At Birth First Line: Hark! the herald angels sing Lyrics: 1 Hark! the herald angels sing "Glory to the new-born King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!" Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With the angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem! 2 Christ, by highest heaven adored; Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the Virgin's womb: Vailed in flesh the Godhead see; Hail the incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with men to dwell; Jesus, our Immanuel! 3 Hail! the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings: Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die: Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.

"Fear not," said he,--for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind,-- "Glad tidings of great joy I bring, To you and all mankind. 2 "To you, in David's town this day, Is born of David's line, The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord, And this shall be the sign;-- The heavenly babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid." 3 Thus spake the seraph--and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, who thus Addressed their joyful song:-- "All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth from heaven to men Begin, and never cease!"

All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art; freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity. Psalter Hymnal, 1987

Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 For the herald's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain; Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign. For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad; And all flesh shall see the token, That His Word is never broken. Used With Tune: THIRSTING
