Today the Author of salvation, The Father’s Well-beloved, came. Of undefiled virgin mother An Infant all divine was born, And God Himself became your Brother Upon this happy Christmas morn. 2 In Him eternal might and power To human weakness hath inclined; And this poor Child brings richest dower Of gifts and graces to mankind. While here, His majesty disguising, A servant’s form the Master wears, Behold the beams of glory rising, E’en from His poverty and tears. 3 A stable serves Him for a dwelling And for a bed a manger mean; Yet o’er His head, His advent telling, A new and wondrous star is seen. Angels rehearse to men the story, The joyful story of His birth; To Him they raise the anthem--"Glory To God on high and peace on earth!" 4 For thro' this holy incarnation The primal curse is done away; And blessed peace o’er all creation Hath shed its pure and gentle ray. Then, in that heav'nly concert joining, O Christian men, with one accord, Your voices tunefully combining, Salute the birthday of your Lord! Amen.

Ah! this is rest indeed! What else, Almighty Savior, Can a poor sinner need? Thy light is all my wisdom, Thy love is all my stay; Our Father’s home in glory Draws nearer every day. 2 My guilt is great, but greater The mercy Thou dost give; Thyself, a spotless offering, Hast died that I should live. With Thee, my soul unfettered Has risen from the dust; Thy blood is all my treasure; Thy word is all my trust. 3 Through me, Thou gentle Master, Thy purposes fulfill! I yield myself forever To Thy most holy will. What though I be but weakness? My strength is not in me; The poorest of Thy people Has all things, having Thee. 4 When clouds are darkest round me, Thou, Lord, art then most near, My drooping faith to quicken, My weary soul to cheer; Safe nestling in Thy bosom, I gaze upon Thy face; In vain my foes would drive me From Thee, my hiding place! 5 ’Tis Thou hast made me happy; ’Tis Thou hast set me free; To whom shall I give glory For ever but to Thee? Of earthly love and blessing Should every stream run dry, Thy grace shall still be with me, Thy grace to live and die!
