Bethlehem rejoices

Author: St. John of Damascus; John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns of the Greek Church #33 (1900) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Year Written: 780 Lyrics: Bethlehem rejoices, Hark the voices clear, Singing in the starlight Nearer and more near. Unto God be glory, Peace to men be given, This His will who dwelleth In the heights of heaven. Heaven can not contain Him, Nor the bounds of earth, Yet, O Glorious Mystery! Virgin gives Him birth. Unto God be glory, Peace to men be given, This His will who dwelleth In the heights of heaven. Now the light ariseth In the darkened skies, Now the proud are humbled And the lowly rise. Unto God be glory, Peace to men be given, This His will who dwelleth In the heights of heaven. Languages: English

Brief life is here our portion

Author: St. Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal #69 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Year Written: 1145 Lyrics: Brief life is here our portion, Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The life that knows no ending, The tearless life is there! O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest, For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest! There grief is turned to pleasure; Such pleasure as below No human voice can utter, No human heart can know; And after fleshly weakness, And after this world's night, And after storm and whirlwind, Are calm, and joy, and light. And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown; And he whom now we trust in Shall then be seen and known, And they that know and see him Shall have him for their own. And now we watch and struggle, And now we live in hope, And Sion in her anguish With Babylon must cope; But there is David's fountain, And life in fullest glow; And there the light is golden, And milk and honey flow. The morning shall awaken, The shadows flee away, And each true-hearted servant Shall shine as doth the day; For God our King and Portion, In fullness of his grace, We then shall see for ever, And worship face to face. O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest Who art with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen. Topics: Advent; Visitation Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALPHEGE

Author: Johann Michael Altenberg; Anonymous; Elizabeth Rundle Charles; Luther D. Reed Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #196 (1917) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Year Written: 1632 Lyrics: 1 Be not dismayed, thou little flock, Although the foe's fierce battle shock, Loud on all sides, assail thee. Though o'er thy fall they laugh secure, Their triumph cannot long endure: Let not thy courage fail thee. 2 Thy cause is God's--go at His call, And to His hand commit thine all; Fear thou no ill impending: His Gideon shall arise for thee, God's Word and people manfully, In God's own time, defending. 3 Our hope is sure in Jesus' might; Against themselves the godless fight, Themselves, not us, distressing; Shame and contempt their lot shall be; God is with us, with Him are we: To us belongs His blessing. 4 Amen, Lord Jesus, hear our cry; Stir up Thy power, come from on high, Defend Thy congregation; So shall Thy Church, through endless days, Give thanks to Thee and chant Thy praise In joy and adoration. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: KOMMT HER ZU MIR, SPRICHT GOTTES SOHN
