The wise men watched at Christmas In some far eastern land, And still the wise in starry skies Discern their Maker's hand. 3 A tree was grown at Christmas, A sapling green and young; No tinsel bright with candlelight Upon its branches hung. But He who came at Christmas Our sins and sorrow bore, And still we name His tree of shame Our life for evermore. 4 A child was born at Christmas When Christmas first began; The Lord of all a baby small, The Son of God made man. For love is ours at Christmas, And life and light restored, And so we praise through endless days The Savior, Christ the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: ANDUJAR

'Tis labeled "salvation," and Jesus, I'm told, Has bought that package for me. [Refrain] 3 There is one just above, it's title is love, It is marked by a deep crimson, deep crimson stain. For there it was tied by the Lord when he died, And glory to his dear name. [Refrain] 4 Another I see, it must be for me, The words "I will help you" I, "help you" I read. While holding his hand, by faith I can stand, And this is the package I need. [Refrain] 5 There are many, I'm sure, but just this one more I speak of above all the, bove all the rest. It spells "happy home" with God near the throne, A place where the weary shall rest. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: HEAVEN'S CHRISTMAS TREE

Ring the merry Christmas bells

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #288 (1883) Topics: Christmas First Line: Ring the bells, the Christmas bells Lyrics: 1 Ring the bells, the Christmas bells; Chime out the wondrous story; First in song on Angel tongues It came from realms of glory; Peace on earth, good-will to men, Angelic voices ringing-- Christ the Lord to earth has come, His glorious message bringing. Chorus: Ring the merry Christmas bells; Chime out the wondrous story; Glory be to God on high, For evermore be glory. 2 Wise men hastened from the East To bring their richest treasures-- Gold, and myrrh, and frankincense, And jewels without measure. Him they sought, although a King, They found in birthplace lowly, There within a manger lay The Babe so pure and holy. [Chorus] 3 Earthly crowns were not for Him; He came God's love revealing; On the Cross He died for us, His blood forgiveness sealing. 'Tis the Saviour promised long, Ring out your loudest praises; Every heart this happy day Its grateful anthems raises. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Ring the bells, the Christmas bells]

The happy Christmas comes once more

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #19 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas Lyrics: 1 The happy Christmas comes once more, The heavenly Guest is at the door, The blessed words the shepherds thrill, The joyous tidings: Peace, Good will. 2 To David's city let us fly, Where angels sing beneath the sky, Through plain and village pressing near, And news from God with shepherds hear. 3 Oh, let us go with quiet mind, The gentle Babe with shepherds find, To gaze on Him who gladdens them, The loveliest flower of Jesse's stem. 4 The lowly Saviour meekly lies, Laid off the splendor of the skies; No crown bedecks His forehead fair, No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there. 5 No human glory, might and gold, The lovely Infant's form enfold; The manger and the swaddlings poor Are His, whom angels' songs adore. 6 Oh, wake our hearts, in gladness sing, And keep our Christmas with our King, Till living son, from loving souls, Like sound of mighty waters rolls. 7 O holy Child, Thy manger streams Till earth and heaven glow with its beams, Till midnight noon's bright light has won, And Jacob's Star outshines the sun. 8 Thou Patriarchs' joy. Thou Prophets' song, Thou heavenly Day-Spring, looked for long, Thou Son of man, Incarnate Word, Great David's Son, great David's Lord! 9 Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest, Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast, Then David's harp-strings, hushed so long, Shall swell our Jubilee of song.

Christmas Is Here With Joy Untold

Author: B. S. Ingemann Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #83 (1927) Meter: 8.8.9.8.8.8.9.8 Topics: Christmas Lyrics: 1 Christmas is here with joy untold; Now young and old are rejoicing. What angels made known to men of old the lips of all babes are voicing; Branches from Eden's tree stands bright With lights that point to the Giver; All children whose joy is pure and right May harbor that joy forever. 2 Joy is a guest on earth today; It comes with Jesus from heaven. Come, gentle-eyed dove and sparrow gray, To feasting this morn is given. Dance, little child, this festal morn, So rich in grace for each mortal; Today was our wondrous Savior born And open'd His kingdom's portal. 3 Christ was a Child like you and me, And helpless lay in the manger. In Paradise where the angels be He welcomes each homesick stranger. He as our Lord among us lives Who rules all heaven's dominions. To those of a child-like faith He gives In Eden fair angel pinions.
