This Night A Wondrous Revelation

Author: Anna Hoppe; C. F. Nachtenhoefer Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This night a wondrous revelation Makes known to me God’s love and grace; The Child that merits adoration Brings light to our benighted race, And though a thousand suns did shine, Still brighter were that Light divine. 2 The Sun of grace for thee is beaming; Rejoice, my soul, in Jesus’ birth! The light from yonder manger streaming Sends forth its rays o’er all the earth. It drives the night of sin away And turns our darkness into day. 3 This light, which all thy gloom can banish, The bliss of heaven glorifies; When sun and moon and star shall vanish, Its rays shall still illume the skies; Thine eyes thro' all eternity The glory of that Light shall see. 4 O Jesus, precious Sun of gladness, Fill Thou my soul with light, I pray! Dispel the gloomy night of sadness, And teach Thou me this Christmas day How I a child of light may be, Aglow with light that comes from Thee. Amen.

O Gott der Liebe! ohne Hülle

Author: Carl Brockhaus, 1822-1899 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Gott der Liebe! ohne Hülle Bist Du im Sohn geoffenbart. Schon unermeßlich ist die Fülle, Die hier der Glaub' in Ihm gewahrt. Doch völlig wird das Herz erquickt, Wenn Deine Lieb' es ganz erblickt. 2 Du gabest einst – o welch Erbarmen! — Den eignen Sohn für unsre Schuld. Jetzt trägst Du uns auf Vaterarmen Und leitest uns voll Treu' und Huld. Dein Lieben unvergleichlich ist, Du liebst uns, weil Du Liebe bist. 3 Und welch ein Trost in allen Lagen, Daß Deine Treu' uns nie vergißt! Wie könnten jemals wir verzagen, Da Du, Gott, unser Vater bist! Vergäß' die Mutter selbst ihr Kind, Dein Lieben nie ein Ende find't. 4 Drum gehn wir freudig unsre Pfade Und harren aus in jedem Leid. Nie wanket Deine Lieb' und Gnade, Nie Deines Herzens Freundlichkeit. Drum Dank Dir, Vater, ewig Dank! Dich preise unser Lobgesang! Used With Tune: [O Gott der Liebe! ohne Hülle]

Come, Christians,praise your Maker's goodness

Author: Ehrenfried Liebig; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come Christians, praise your Maker's goodness, Rejoice in Him and in His gift; To-day before the Lord of harvest In happy songs your voices lift; For He who cared for us of yore Hath bless'd our fields and homes once more. 2 Accept, O Lord, our thankful praises For all our Father doth bestow; May it increase our faith, and lead us Our praise by godly lives to show; That every deed and word may prove We trust and own our Father's love. 3 Thou feedest us in pure compassion; Teach us to care for others' need; Let each, as he is able, comfort The sick and poor, the hungry feed: O Father Thou of all below, On each what most he needs bestow. 4 Open Thy bounteous hands in blessing Thus to refresh us year by year; Provide for us through all life's journey, And make us faithful stewards here Of all that to our care is given, That greater gifts be ours in heaven. 5 Preserve to us what Thou hast sent us, And grant us calm and peaceful days And grateful hearts, that we may use it In quiet gladness to Thy praise: And while our bodies thus are fed, O grant our souls the Living Bread!

O That I Had a Thousand Voices

Author: Johann Mentzer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O that I had a thousand voices And with a thousand tongues could tell Of Him in whom the earth rejoices Who all things wisely does and well! My grateful heart would then be free To tell what God has done for me. 2. Ye forest leaves, so green and tender, That dance for joy in summer air; Ye meadow grasses, bright and slender, Ye flowers, so wondrous sweet and fair, That live to show His praise alone, Help me to make His glory known. 3. Ye creatures that have breath and motion, That fill with life, earth, sea and sky, O join me in my heart’s devotion, As I exalt the Lord most high: My utmost powers can ne’er aright Declare the wonders of His might. 4. O Father, deign Thou, I beseech Thee, To listen to my earthly lays; A nobler strain in Heav’n shall reach Thee When I with angels hymn Thy praise, And learn amid their choirs to sing Loud hallelujahs to my King.
