Good news from heaven the angels bring
Author: Arthur Tozer Russell; Martin Luther; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Good news from heaven the angels bring,
Glad tidings to the earth they sing:
To us this day a Child is given,
To crown us with the joy of heaven.
2 This is the Christ, our God and Lord,
Who in all need shall aid afford;
He will Himself our Saviour be,
From all our sins to set us free.
3 All hail, Thou noble Guest, this morn,
Whose love did not the sinner scorn:
In my distress Thou com’st to me,
What thanks shall I return to Thee?
4 Were earth a thousand times as fair,
Beset with gold and jewels rare,
She yet were far too poor to be
A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee.
5 Ah, dearest Jesus, Holy Child,
Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.
6 Praise God upon His heavenly throne,
Who gave to us His only Son;
For this His hosts, on joyful wing,
A blest New Year of mercy sing.

Do Thou Thy mighty succor give,
And shield this child by morn and eve.

Where'er he be, awake, asleep;
Thy holy cross now let him bear,
That he Thy crown with saints may wear.

Abide in this your house of prayer,
Where we your parting promise claim,
Assembled in your sacred name.

Come in our lives and hearts to live,
And let our humble souls become
A temple worthy of your name.

When earth and heav'n shall melt away,
Your flock, redeemed from sinful stain,
Shall swell the sound of praise again. Topics: Advent; Advent Used With Tune: VOM HIMMEL HOCH
Hosanna to the Coming Lord
To Shepherds, as they watched by night
Author: Dr. M. Luther; Richard Massie Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Shepherds, as they watch'd by night,
Appeared a troop of angels bright;
Behold the tender babe, they said,
In yonder lowly manger laid.
2 At Bethlehem in David's town,
As Micah did of old make known;
'Tis Jesus Christ, your Lord and King,
Who doth to all salvation bring.
3 Rejoice ye, then, that through His Son
God is with sinners now at one;
Made like yourselves of flesh and blood,
Your brother is th'eternal Good.
4 What harm can sin and death then do?
The true God now abides with you:
Let Hell and Satan chide and chafe,
God is your brother--ye are safe.
5 Not one He will nor can forsake
Who Him his confidence doth make:
Let all his wiles the tempter try,
You may his utmost powers defy.
6 Ye must at last prevail; for see,
God's kindred now in Christ are we,
To God forever give ye praise,
Patient and cheerful all your days. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Used With Tune: ERFURT (Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her)
To Shepherds, as they watched by night
From east to west
Author: Caelius Sedulius; John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals First Line: From east to west, from shore to shore Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore,
let ev'ry heart awake and sing
the Holy Child whom Mary bore,
the Christ, the everlasting King.
2 Behold, the world's creator wears
the form and fashion of a slave,
our very flesh our Maker shares,
his fallen creature, man, to save.
3 For this how wondrously he wrought!
A maiden, in her lowly place,
became, in ways beyond all thought,
the chosen vessel of his grace.
4 She bowed her to the angel's word,
declaring what the Father willed,
and suddenly the promised Lord
that pure and hallowed temple filled.
5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall,
he lay within the manger-bed,
and he whose bounty feedeth all,
at Mary's breast himself was fed.
6 And while the angels in the sky
sang praise above the silent field,
to shepherds poor, the Lord most high,
the one great Shepherd was revealed.
7 All glory for this blessèd morn
to God the Father ever be,
all praise to thee, O virgin-born,
all praise, blest Spirit, unto thee. Topics: Christmas Scripture: John 1:14 Used With Tune: VOM HIMMEL HOCH Text Sources: Latin

Thanksgiving hymn
Behold, the Joyful Day Is Nigh
Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Emil A. Edlén Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold, the joyful day is nigh,
And angels’ voices from on high
Proclaim the news in early morn
That the Good Shepherd now is born.
2 In quiet splendor forth He comes,
The scattered sheep and tender lambs
To gather, and their fold prepare
With all a shepherd’s tender care.
3 The gentle Shepherd we behold
Who, not with silver and with gold,
But by His suffering and His death,
Will save us from eternal wrath.
4 His Church, though small its seed may be,
Shall grow into a mighty tree,
With fruitful branches spreading o’er
The earth till time shall be no more.
5 Arise and shine, thy Light is come,
O humankind, O Christendom;
Thy glory and thy peace is here;
The Saviour of the world draws near.
6 All praise and glory be to Thee
For wisdom, power, and majesty;
And for Thy grace and mercy, Lord,
Forever be Thy name adored.
