When Sinners See Their Lost Condition

Author: Magnus B. Landstad; Oluf H. Smeby Hymnal: CWLH1993 #32 (1993) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When sinners see their lost condition And feel the pressing load of sin And Jesus comes on his blest mission To heal the sin-sick heart within, All grief must flee before his grace, And joy divine will take its place. 2 When Jesus enters meek and lowly To fill the home with sweetest peace, When hearts have felt his blessing holy And found from sin complete release, Then calm and joy within shall reign, And hearts divided love again. 3 When Jesus enters land and nation And changes people with his love, When, yielding to his kind persuasion, Our hearts his truth and blessing prove, Then shall our life on earth be blest; The peace of God on us shall rest. 4 When Jesus comes -- O blessed story -- He works a change in heart and life; God's kingdom comes with pow'r and glory To young and old, to man and wife. Through sacrament and living Word Faith, love, and hope are now conferred. 5 Oh, may he soon to ev'ry nation Find entrance where he is unknown, With life and light and free salvation, That Satan's pow'r be overthrown, And healing to all hearts may come In heathen land and Christian home!

Alleluia! 3 O little Child, you were our guest That weary ones in you might rest; Forlorn and lowly was your birth That we might rise to heav'n from earth. Alleluia! 4 You came to us in darkest night To make us children of the light; Like angels in the realms divine Around your throne we, too, will shine. Alleluia! 5 All this your love for us has done; By this our love for you is won; For this our joyful songs we raise And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise. Alleluia!

Cheer my wearied spirit, O pure and holy Child; Through thy grace and merit, Blest Jesus, Lord most mild, Draw me unto thee! Draw me unto thee! 3 Now through his Son doth shine The Father's grace divine. Death o'er us had reigned Through sin and vanity; He for us obtained Eternal joy on high. May we praise him there! May we praise him there! 4 Oh, where shall joy be found? Where but on heav'nly ground? Where the angels singing With all his saints unite, Sweetest praises bringing In heav'nly joy and light.

Now he shines, the long-expected; Let creation praise its Lord Evermore and evermore. 4 Let the heights of heav'n adore him, Angel hosts his praises sing, Pow'rs, dominions bow before him And extol our God and King. Let no tongue on earth be silent, Ev'ry voice in concert ring Evermore and evermore. 5 Christ, to you, with God the Father, And the Spirit ceaselessly Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving And unending praises be, Honor, glory, and dominion And eternal victory Evermore and evermore.

Once Again My Heart Rejoices

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #37 (1993) Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Lyrics: 1 Once again my heart rejoices As I hear Far and near Sweetest angel voices. "Christ is born!" their choirs are singing Till the air Ev'rywhere Now with joy is ringing. 2 Hear! The conqueror has spoken: "Now the foe, Sin and woe, Death and hell are broken!" God is man, man to deliver, And the Son Now is one With our blood forever. 3 Should we still fear God's displeasure, Who, to save, Freely gave His most precious treasure? To redeem us he has given His own Son From the throne Of his might in heaven. 4 God becomes the victim, taking Mankind's place By his grace, Full atonement making. For our life his own he tenders, And his grace All our race Fit for glory renders. 5 Softly from his lowly manger Jesus calls One and all, "You are safe from danger. Children, from the sins 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; We shall live with him forever There on high In that joy Which will vanish never.

From Heaven Above to Earth I Come

Author: Martin Luther; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: CWLH1993 #38 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: "From heav'n above to earth I come" Lyrics: 1 "From heav'n above to earth I come To bear good news to ev'ry home; Glad tidings of great joy I bring, Whereof I now will say and sing: 2 "To you this night is born a child Of Mary, chosen virgin mild; This little child of lowly birth Shall be the joy of all the earth. 3 "This is the Christ, our God most high, Who hears your sad and bitter cry; He will himself your Savior be From all your sins to set you free. 4 "He will on you the gifts bestow Prepared by God for all below, That in his kingdom, bright and fair, You may with us his glory share. 5 "These are the signs which you shall mark: The swaddling clothes and manger dark. There you will find the infant laid By whom the heav'ns and earth were made." 6 How glad we'll be to find it so! Then with the shepherds let us go To see what God for us has done In sending us his own dear Son. 7 Come here, my friends, lift up your eyes, And see what in the manger lies. Who is this child, so young and fair? It is the Christchild lying there. 8 Welcome to earth, O noble Guest, Through whom the sinful world is blest! You came to share my misery That you might share your joy with me. 9 Ah, Lord, though you created all, How weak you are, so poor and small, That you should choose to lay your head Where lowly cattle lately fed! 10 Were earth a thousand times as fair And set with gold and jewels rare, It would be far too poor and small A cradle for the Lord of all. 11 Instead of soft and silken stuff You have but hay and straw so rough On which as King, so rich and great, To be enthroned in royal state. 12 And so it pleases you to see This simple truth revealed to me: That all the world's wealth, honor, might Are weak and worthless in your sight. 13 Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child, Prepare a bed, soft, undefiled Within my heart, made clean and new, A quiet chamber kept for you. 14 My heart for very joy must leap; My lips no more can silence keep. I, too, must sing with joyful tongue That sweetest ancient cradle song: 15 Glory to God in highest heaven, Who unto us his Son has given! While angels sing with pious mirth A glad new year to all the earth. Topics: Christmas; Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: VOM HIMMEL HOCH

Now Praise We Christ, the Holy One

Author: Coelius Sedulius, 5th century; Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Richard Massie, 1800-87 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #39 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now praise we Christ, the Holy One, The blessed virgin Mary's Son. From east to west, from shore to shore Let earth its Lord and King adore. 2 He who himself all things did make A servant's form agreed to take, That he as man mankind might win And save his creatures from their sin. 3 The grace and pow'r of God the Lord Upon the mother was outpoured; A virgin pure and undefiled In wondrous way conceived a child. 4 The noble mother bore a Son -- For so did Gabriel's promise run -- Whom John confessed and leaped with joy Before the mother knew her boy. 5 Upon a manger filled with hay In poverty content he lay; With milk was fed the Lord of all, Who feeds the ravens when they call. 6 The heav'nly choirs rejoice and raise Their voice to God in songs of praise. To humble shepherds is proclaimed The Shepherd who the world has framed. 7 All honor unto Christ the Lord, Eternal and incarnate Word, With Father and with Holy Ghost, Till time in endless time be lost.
