Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing

Author: Edward Caswall Hymnal: LHTC1918 #21 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing; Come see in the manger the angels' dread King! To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord! 2 True Son of the Father, He comes from the skies; To be born of a Virgin He doth not despise; To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord! 3 Hark, hark, to the angels, all singing in heaven, "To God in the highest all glory be given!" To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord! 4 To Thee, then, O Jesus, this day of Thy birth, Be glory and honor through heaven and earth; True Godhead incarnate, omnipotent Word! O come, let us hasten to worship the Lord! 1 Of the Father's love begotten, Ere the worlds began to be, He is Alpha and Omega, He the source, the ending He, Of the things that are, that have been, And that future years shall see, Evermore and evermore. 2 Oh, that birth forever blessed! When the Virgin, full of grace, By the Holy Ghost conceiving, Bare the Saviour of our race, And the Babe, the world's Redeemer, First revealed His sacred face Evermore and evermore. 3 O ye heights of heaven adore Him; Angel-hosts, His praises sing; Powers, dominions, bow before Him And extol our God and King; Let no tongue on earth be silent, Every voice in concert ring Evermore and evermore. 4 Christ, to Thee, with God the Father, And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee, Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving And unending praises be, Honor, glory and dominion, And eternal victory, Evermore and evermore. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ADESTE FIDELES

All my heart this night rejoices

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: LHTC1918 #22 (1917) Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night rejoices, As I hear, Far and near, Sweetest angel voices; "Christ is born," their choirs are singing, Till the air Ev'rywhere, Now their joy is ringing. 2 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, Doth entreat, "Flee from woe and danger; Brethren, come; from all that grieves you You are freed; All you need I will surely give you." 3 Come, then, let us hasten yonder; Here let all, Great and small, Kneel in awe and wonder, Love Him who with love is yearning; Hail the star That from far Bright with hope is burning. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: WARUM SOLLT ICH MICH DENN GRÄMEN

The happy Christmas comes once more

Author: Nicolai F. S. Grundtvig, d. 1872; Charles Porterfield Krauth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #23 (1917) 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 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. 3 O holy Child, Thy manger gleams Till earth and heaven glow with it beams, Till midnight noon's broad light hath won, And Jacob's Star outshines the sun. 4 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! 5 Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest, Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast, Then David's harpstrings, hushed so long, Shall swell our jubilee of song. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: EMMANUEL

Christians, awake, salute the happy morn

Author: John Byrom Hymnal: LHTC1918 #24 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn, Whereon the Saviour of the world was born; Rise to adore the mystery of love, Which hosts of angels chanted from above; With them the joyful tidings first 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 Saviour’s birth To you and all the nations upon earth; This day hath God fulfill'd His promised word, This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord." 3 He spake; and straightaway 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 upon earth, and unto men good will. 4 Let us, like these good shepherds, then employ Our grateful voices to proclaim the joy; Trace we the Babe, Who hath retrieved our loss, From His poor manger to His bitter cross, Treading His steps, assisted by His grace, Till man’s first heav’nly state again takes place. 5 Then may we hope, th’angelic hosts among, To sing, redeem'd, 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 Of angels and of angel-men the King. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: YORKSHIRE

Emmanuel! we sing Thy praise

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: LHTC1918 #26 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Emmanuel! we sing Thy praise, Thou Prince of Life! Thou Fount of Grace! With all Thy saints, Thee, Lord, we sing; Praise, honor, thanks, to Thee we bring! 2 E’er since the world began to be, How many a heart hath longed for Thee! And Thou, O long-expected Guest, Hast come at last to make us blest! 3 Now art Thou here: we know Thee now: In lowly manger liest Thou: A child, yet makest all things great; Poor, yet the earth Thy robe of state. 4 Now fearless I can look on Thee, From sin and grief Thou set'st me free: Thou bearest wrath, Thou conquerest death, Fear turns to joy Thy glance beneath. 5 Thou art my Head, my Lord Divine, I am Thy member, wholly Thine; And by Thy Spirit’s strength would still Serve Thee according to Thy will. 6 Thus will I sing Thy praises here, With joyful spirit year by year: And they shall sound before Thy throne, Where time nor number more is known. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: GERMANY

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: LHTC1918 #28 (1917) Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. "Fear not," said he,--for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind,-- "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind." 2 "To you, in David's town this day, Is born of David's line A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, And this shall be the sign:-- The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands, And in a manger laid." 3 Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, and thus Addressed their joyful song:-- "All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth from heaven to men Begin, and never cease!" Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: LHTC1918 #29a (1917) Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, From heaven's all-gracious King:" The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel-sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along a dreary way With painful steps and slow.-- Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing. O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold, When the new heaven and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL
