Free Gift
Author: John Relly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: John 3:16 First Line: 'Tis not of him that weeps and prays Lyrics: 1 'Tis not of him that weeps and prays;
The gift of God is free;
'Tis Jesus' pray'r, his groans and cries,
That shall accepted be.
2 'Tis in the Lamb's abasement low,
We are receiv'd of God:
Lo! nothing is there good we know,
But Jesus, and his blood.
3 'Tis thro' his death, and off'ring up
On the accursed wood,
That we are privileg'd to sup
With him our Lord, and God.
4 'Tis thro' his resurrection pow'r
We live the life of faith:
In his dear body, we are more
Than conq'rors over death.
5 When he ascended up on high,
Lo! we ascended then;
He captive led captivity,
Receiving gifts for men.
6 Yea, for rebellious men he su'd,
That God with them might dwell;
And when his wounded form he shew'd,
The spirit on them fell.
7 All praise to him, our God, our friend,
Who finish'd all for us;
We bless the love, which hath no End,
Revealed on the cross.

From Heaven High I Come to Earth
Author: Martin Luther; Roland H. Bainton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: John 3:13 Lyrics: 1 From heaven high I come to earth;
I bring good tidings of great mirth;
this mirth is such a wondrous thing
that I must tell you all and sing.
2 A little child for you this morn
has from a chosen maid been born,
a little child so tender, sweet,
that you should skip upon your feet.
3 How glad we'll be that this is so!
With all the shepherds let us go
to see what God for us has done
in sending us his own dear Son.
4 Look, look, my heart, and let me peek.
Whom in the manger do you seek?
Who is that lovely little one?
The baby Jesus, God's own Son.
5 Be welcome, Lord; be now our guest.
By you poor sinners have been blessed.
In nakedness and cold you lie.
How can I thank you; how can I?
6 You wanted so to make me know
that you had let all great things go.
You had a palace in the sky;
you left it there for such as I.
7 And if the world were twice as wide,
with gold and precious jewels inside,
still such a cradle would not do
to hold a babe as great as you.
8 To God who sent his only Son
be glory, laud, and honor done.
Let all the choir of heav'n rejoice,
the new ring in with heart and voice. Topics: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas Used With Tune: VOM HIMMEL HOCH

From the Parent’s Heart, the Firstborn (Corde natus ex parentis)
Author: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius; Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: Irregular Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: John 3:14-21 First Line: Corde natus ex parentis (From the Parent’s heart, the firstborn) Lyrics: Corde natus ex parentis
Ante mundi exordium
A et O cognominatus,
ipse fons et clausula
Omnium quae sunt, fuerunt,
quaeque post futura sunt.
Saeculorum saeculis.
1 From the Parent’s heart, the firstborn
when no worlds had been begun,
this is Alpha and Omega,
source and end that join as one
all that is now, ever has been,
and in future will be done,
evermore and evermore.
2 Word who ordered and created,
by whose word all came to be,
calling forth threefold creation:
heaven, earth, encircling sea,
filled with life that shares the moon’s glow
and the sun’s warm energy,
evermore and evermore.
3 Here is One whom seers and sages
longed to know in ancient days,
One foretold by faithful prophets,
singing with their hearts ablaze.
So shines forth the One long promised,
who inspires all creatures’ praise,
evermore and evermore.
4 Let the highest heavens ring out
with angelic melody.
All who have the pow’r to praise God,
sing, wherever you may be.
Let no mortal tongue keep silent;
voices, blend in harmony,
evermore and evermore. Topics: Creation; Heritage Before 1500; Jesus Christ Advent of; Jesus Christ Birth of; Praise Used With Tune: DIVINUM MYSTERIUM Text Sources: “Corde natus ex parentis,” 4th–5th c.
