Author: Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig, (1783-1872); Dr. Charles Porterfield Krauth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Chime, happy Christmas bells, once more, The heav'nly Guest is at the door, The blessed words the shepherds thrill, The joyous tidings, "Peace, good will." 2 O let us go with quiet mind, The gentle Babe with shepherds find, To gaze on Him who gladdens them, The loveliest flower of Jesse's stem. 3 The lowly Saviour meekly lies, Laid off the splendor of the skies; No crown bedecks His forehead fair, No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there. 4 O holy Child, Thy manger gleams Till earth and heaven glow with it beams, Till midnight turns to brightest noon, And Jacob's Star outshines the sun. 5 Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest, Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast, Then David's harp-strings, hushed so long, Shall swell our jubilee of song. Amen. Topics: Church Year Christmas; Christmas Day Used With Tune: DET KIMER NU TIL JULEFEST. (EMMANUEL)

O Thou! Who Hast A Temple Shrine

Author: John R. Macduff Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Thou! Who hast a temple shrine In every lowly, contrite soul, Spirit of God! These lips of mine Touch with a living altar-coal. 2 No costly rites I need prepare, No rich oblations need I bring; The humble heart, the fervent prayer, Are Thine accepted offering. 3 Guide to all truth, vouchsafe Thine aid, Control my thoughts, direct my way; May holy fear of Thee pervade The varied duties of each day. 4 Ere I begin life’s common task, Hushed be its feverish cares a while, That calm reposing may I bask, Eternal One! beneath Thy smile. 5 Giver and source of peace divine, Thy will submissive would I wait; Each pulse of heavenly life is Thine, Descend, Thou promised Paraclete! 6 Not as of old, in awful power, With rushing wind and lambent fire, But gently, like the falling shower, Great Spirit, come! my soul inspire!

Blush, Atheists, Blush

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Blush, atheists, blush, your airy schemes Lyrics: 1 Blush, atheists, blush, your airy schemes, Your chance, and atoms, are but dreams: Science in vain you proudly boast, In error’s endless mazes lost. 2 Nature survey, the mighty whole From north to southern distant pole: Heav’n, earth and seas, and worlds of light For ages hid from human sight. 3 Say then, could chance this fabric rear So great, so good, so wondrous fair? Could chance the heav’nly bodies move, And in strict order bid them rove? 4 Does chance the various seasons rule, The blooming spring, the autumn cool? Bid summer’s heat enrich the year And winter pinch with frosts severe? 5 Sways chance the empire of the main? Can chance its proudest waves restrain? Command the senseless tides to flow? Of teach the ebb its hour to know? 6 What is all nature but design? Her works, but skill and power divine? The God we see in every form, From the archangel to the worm. 7 The wondrous scale of beings view, Their nice gradations close pursue; Deny then, skeptic, if you can A proper place assigned for man. 8 Man, know thyself, thy rank well know, And pay the mighty debt you owe; The God adore, who did inspire Your frame with an immortal fire. 9 Man, view thy soul, nor let it be A slave when God would have it free; Nor be it said that brutes obey, Whilst man rejects his maker’s sway.

One doth his righteousness proclaim, The other owns his guilt and shame. 2 This man at humble distance stands, And cries for grace with lifted hands; That boldly rises near the throne, And talks of duties he has done. 3 The Lord their different language knows, And different answers He bestows; The humble soul with grace He crowns, Whilst on the proud His anger frowns. 4 Dear Father! let me never be Joined with the boasting Pharisee; I have no merits of my own, But plead the sufferings of Thy Son.
