A Babe is born in Bethlehem

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #297 (1898) Meter: 8.4.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A Babe is born in Bethlehem, In Bethlehem, Therefore rejoice, Jerusalem. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! 2 He doth within a manger lie, A manger lie, Whose throne is set above the sky. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! 3 Stillness was all the manger round, The manger round, The creature its Creator found. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! 4 The wise men came, led by the star, Led by the star, Gold, myrrh, and incense, brought from far. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! 5 His mother is the Virgin mild, The Virgin mild, And He the Father’s only Child. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! 6 The serpent’s wound He beareth not, He beareth not, Yet takes our blood, and shares our lot. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! 7 Our human flesh He enters in, He enters in, But bears no single taint of sin. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! 8 To fallen man Himself He bowed, Himself He bowed, That He might lift us up to God. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! 9 On this most blessed Jubilee, Best jubilee, All glory be, O God, to Thee. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! 10 O Holy Three, we Thee adore, We Thee adore, This day, henceforth, for evermore. Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

A mighty fortress is our God

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #270 (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; Our help is He in all our need, Our stay, whate'er doth happen. The old malignant foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours naught can be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One, Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye who this may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth is His name, From age to age the same,-- He holds the field forever. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All eager to devour us, Our souls to fear should little yield, They cannot overpower us. The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let abide, Nor thanks be due them for it; The Lord of hosts is by our side, Grants us His gifts and Spirit; And though they take our life, Goods, honor--children, wife, Yet, when their worst is done, They still have nothing won: The Kingdom ours remaineth.

A slumber I know, in Jesus' name

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #211 (1898) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 A slumber I know, in Jesus' name, A rest from all toil and sorrow; Earth tenderly takes my weary frame, To sleep till the blissful morrow; In heaven my soul with God abides, Forgotten are cares and trials. 2 An even I know, serene and blest, And oft is my spirit longing, When, weary and worn, it finds no rest, While woes on the way are thronging,-- Oft longing to see the journey's end, And rest in a blissful slumber. 3 A morning I know, so bright and fair, When tidings of joy shall wake us, When anthems from high shall fill the air, And God to His glory take us, when Jesus shall bid us rise from sleep-- How joyous that hour of awaking! 4 Oh, dear is that morning fair to me! And oft, o'er the mountains beaming, In spirit its heavenly light I see, As golden the peaks are gleaming-- For joy I must sing, as birds at dawn Their carols in lofty lindens. 5 The Saviour then comes unto our graves; His mighty command is given: Then break from the deep the ocean waves, Each tomb and restraint is riven. All earth hears the cry: Ye dead, come forth! In glory we go to meet Him. 6 Then open the heavenly portals wide, The names of God's saints are given. God grant that we all in faith abide, And rise to the bliss of heaven! Our Father, may we in that great hour Find none of our dear ones missing! 7 O Saviour, when darkens life's last day, And Death in his bonds me keepeth, Come unto my bed, in mercy say: The child is not dead, but sleepeth. Then grant me Thy grace, that I arise To praise Thee in life eternal. Topics: Resurrection of the Dead; Sickness, Death, and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: A SLUMBER I KNOW, IN JESUS' NAME

Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?

Thou too art Man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; Thy kind, but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 8 Thy touch has still its ancient power; No word from Thee can fruitless fall; Hear in this solemn evening hour, And in Thy mercy heal us all.

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #266 (1898) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 2 Shall we not yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #293 (1898) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ is merciful and mild; He was once a little child; He whom heavenly hosts adore, Lived on earth among the poor. 2 Thus He laid His glory by, When for us He stooped to die; How I wonder, when I see His unbounded love to me. 3 He the sick to health restored, To the poor He preached the Word; Even children had a share Of His love and tender care. 4 Every bird can build its nest; Foxes have their place of rest: He, by whom the world was made, Had not where to lay His head. 5 He who is the Lord most high, Then was poorer far than I, That I might hereafter be Rich to all eternity.
