Him shall all the people see,
And rejoice eternally.

With Hosannas fill the sky;

Angels join with us in praise!
Help to sing redeeming grace.

Now the Gospel is made known;
Now the door is open wide,
CHRIST for Jew and Gentile dy'd.
All who feel the wieght of sin,
All who languish to be clean;
All who for redemption groan,
May be sav'd by faith alone.

This the angel doth proclaim;
He shall all his people save,
They in him remission ahve:
When thy see themselves undone,
They take refuge in the Son;
They shall all be born again,
And with him in glory reign.

Sing the triumphs of his birth;
All the world by him is blest,
Sound his praise from East to West:

CHRIST our common LORD and King,
CHRIST our life, our joy, our song,
To eternity prolong! Languages: English

Such heights of majesty.

Their nature to His own:
For them he shed no blood divine,
Nor breathed a single groan.

The Savior to adore;
Our debts are greater far than theirs,

Thou dost reign on high
Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #170 (1961) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christ Birth of Lyrics: 1 Thou didst reign on high
With a kingly crown,
Yet thou camest to earth for me,
And in Bethlehem's home
Was there found no room
For thy holy nativity:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang
When the angels sang,
Proclaiming thy royal degree;
But of lowly birth
Didst thou come to earth,
And in great humility:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for thee.
3 The foxes found rest,
And the birds their nest,
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was the sod,
O thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for thee.
4 Thou camest, O Lord,
With the living word
That should set thy people free;
But with mocking scorn,
And with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for thee.
5 When heav'n's arches shall ring,
And her choirs shall sing,
At thy coming to victory,
Let thy voice call me home,
Saying "Yet there is room,
There is room at My side for thee."
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When thou comest and callest for me.

Once in royal David's city
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #639 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Topics: Christ Birth of Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby
In a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And his shelter was a stable,
And his cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And, through all his wondrous childhood
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms he lay:
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as he.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Through his own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heav'n above,
And he leads his children on
To the place where he is gone.
5 Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see him, but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high;
When like stars his children crowned
All in white shall wait around.

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #322 (2018) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Christ Birth of Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall:
with the poor, and mean, and lowly,
lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 And thro' all his wondrous childhood
he would honor and obey,
love and watch the lowly maiden
in whose gentle arms he lay:
Christian children all must be
mild, obedient, good as he.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
thro' his own redeeming love;
for that child so dear and gentle
is our Lord in heav'n above:
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone.
5 Not in that poor lowly stable,
with the oxen standing by,
we shall see him, but in heaven,
set at God's right hand on high;
when like stars his children crowned
all in white shall wait around. Scripture: Luke 2:7-20 Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

Christians, Awake, Salute the Happy Morn
Author: John Byrom Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #312 (2018) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Topics: Christ Birth of Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn,
whereon the Savior of the world was born;
rise to adore the mystery of love,
which hosts of angels chanted from above;
with them the joyful tidings were begun
of God incarnate and the Virgin's son.
2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told,
who heard th'angelic herald's voice: "Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Savior's birth
to you and all the nations on the earth:
this day hath God fulfilled his promised word,
this day is born a Savior, 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 heav'n's whole orb with alleluias rang;
God's highest glory was their anthem still,
peace on the earth, and unto men good will.
4 To Bethl'hem 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 Savior, in a manger laid;
amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim,
the earliest heralds of the Savior's name.
5 Oh, may we keep and ponder in our mind
God's wondrous love in saving lost mankind!
Trace we the babe, who hath retrieved our loss,
from his poor manger to his bitter cross.
Tread in his steps, assisted by his grace,
till our imperfect state God doth replace.
6 Then may we hope, th'angelic throngs 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 heav'n's almighty King. Scripture: Luke 2:7-20 Languages: English Tune Title: YORKSHIRE

Your wan'dring feet to save;

All My Heart This Night Rejoices

sweetest angel voices.
"Christ is born," their choirs are singing
'til the air ev'rywhere
now with joy is ringing.
2 Forth today the Conqu'ror goeth,
who the foe, sin and woe,
death and hell, o'erthroweth.
God is man, man to deliver;
his dear Son now is one
with our blood forever.
3 Shall we still dread God's displeasure,
who, to save, freely gave
his most cherished Treasure?
To redeem us, he hath given
his own Son from the throne
of his might in heaven.
4 He becomes the Lamb that taketh
sin away and for aye
full atonement maketh.
For our life his own he tenders;
and our race, by his grace,
fit for glory renders.
5 Hark! a voice from yonder manger,
soft and sweet, doth entreat,
"Flee from woe and danger.
Brethren, from all ills that grieve you,
you are freed; all you need
I will surely give you."
6 Come, then, banish all your sadness,
one and all, great and small;
come with songs of gladness.
Love him who with love is glowing;
hail the star, near and far
light and joy bestowing.

Though my breath fail in death,
yet I shall not perish,
but with thee abide forever

which can vanish never. Scripture: John 1:14 Languages: English Tune Title: WARUM SOLLT' ICH MICH DENN GRÄMEN
