Cradled in a manger

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #41 (1883) Hymnal Title: Voices of Praise Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ Christmas Lyrics: I. THE HOLY CHILD: 1 Cradled in a manger, In a stable bare, Lies a little infant, Pure and fair. 2 Over him his mother Bends with loving eye, While an old man watches, Standing by. 3 Far from home, and friendless, Who so poor as they! From the crowded inn door Turned away. 4 Wearied with the journey, And the hard world's scorn, Here the mother welcomes Her first born. 5 Oxen share his shelter, Cold the night wind blows, Straw his bed, and rough his Swaddling clothes. 6 Weak as other infants, Child of want and care, Claims he aught but pity, Lying there? II. THE MIGHTY GOD: 1 Why does that pale mother Gaze and tremble so, Showing deeper joy than Mothers know? 2 Why, before her baby Does that mother kneel? Whence the holy light her Eyes reveal? 1 Cradled in that manger Lies the Eternal Son, Who is with the Father, Ever One. 2 On that mother's bosom Sleeps in slumber still He who ruleth all things By His will. 3 Mary's child the prophets Called Immanuel,-- God, with us His creatures Come to dwell. 4 And the name of Jesus God by Gabriel gave; For, from sin His people He shall save. 5 Faith can see the Angels Watch around Him now, And, before the infant, Humbly bow. 6 Faith can hear them singing Sweetest songs of praise, Faith can catch the meaning Of their lays. III. THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD: 1 Holy Babe, we worship At Thy manger throne, And our Lord and Master Thee we own. 2 Oh! what love has led Thee To be born for us, All Thy power and glory Hidden thus! 3 Shall Thy love yet bring Thee Into deeper woe Than our coarser natures Ever know? 4 Shalt Thou long and labour Wandering souls to gain, Calling sinners to Thee, And in vain? 5 Shall those hands so tender, Feel the piercing nails, While Thy life in torment Sinks and fails? 6 Shall Thy form hang naked On the shameful tree-- Friends all fled, and foes all Mocking Thee? 7 Yes, for this Thou camest From Thy throne on high, For us men to suffer, And to die. 8 On Thy path no sorrow Shall unlooked for fall, Thou, from the beginning Knowest all. 9 Yet, Thy joys are deeper Than Thy sorrows are, And Thy zeal to save us Stronger far. 10 Thou wouldst have us joyful, Even as Thou art, Though we keep Thy sorrow In our heart. 11 We may hail Thy coming, Saviour, Healer, Friend, And, with Thee, look forward To the end. 12 When in our frail nature Thou hast toiled and died, Thou shalt rise to heaven, Glorified. 13 Souls shall fill the mansions In the home above, Trophies of Thy sorrow And Thy love. IV. THE PRINCE OF PEACE: 1 Now the new Creation Is in Thee begun, All that Adam lost us More than won. 2 Thou art the Incarnate, God with man made one, Giving man once more the Place of Son. 3 Thou art born to free us From the power of earth, Building us to Thee in The New Birth. 4 Thou art born to save us From the power of sin, From the evil round us And within. 5 Thou art born to change us By Thy grace Divine, And to make our natures Like to Thee. 6 Thou hast left Thy glory, Far beyond the skies, That with Thee to heaven We may rise. 7 One with Thee, O Saviour, May our lives be blest, One with Thee O bring us To Thy rest. 8 While by faith we see Thee, May our hearts adore, Till our eyes behold Thee Evermore. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Cradled in a manger]

Christians awake, salute the happy morn

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #44 (1883) Hymnal Title: Voices of Praise Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ Christmas Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn, Whereon the Saviour of mankind was born; Rise to adore the mystery of love, Which hosts of angels chanted from above; With them the joyful tidings first begin Of God Incarnate and the Virgin's Son. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, Who heard the angelic herald's voice: "Behold I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth To you and all the nations upon earth: This day hath God fulfill'd His promised word, This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord." 3 He spake; and straightway the celestial choir In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire: The praises of redeeming love they sang, And heaven's whole arch with alleluias rang: God's highest glory was their anthem still, Peace upon earth, and unto men good-will. 4 To Bethlehem straight the happy shepherds ran To see the wonder God had wrought for man: And found with Joseph and the blessed maid, Her Son, the Saviour, in a manger laid; Amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim, The earliest heralds of the Saviour's Name. 5 Let us, like these good shepherds, then employ Our grateful voices to proclaim the joy; Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss, From His poor manger to His bitter Cross; Treading His steps, assisted by His grace, Till man's first heavenly state again takes place. 6 Then may we hope, the angelic thrones among, To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song; He, that was born upon this joyful day Around us all His glory shall display; Saved by His love, incessant we shall sing, Eternal praise to heaven's Almighty King. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: YORKSHIRE

It came upon the midnight clear

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #45 (1883) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: Voices of Praise Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ Christmas Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good-will to men From heaven's all gracious King;" The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurl'd; And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 O ye beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way, With painful steps and slow! Look now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold. When the new heaven and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HEAVENLY SONG
