Good News From heaven To Earth I Bear

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Good news from heave'n to earth I bear And now with you will gladly share; My story is a joyful lay, So hear what I shall have to say. 2 This night to you is born a Child, The chosen Virgin's Infant mild, And He, a Child of lowly birth, Shall be the Joy of all the earth. 3 This sign I, too, would have you mark: the swaddling clothes, the manger dark; In these the Infant now is laid By whom both heav'n and earth were made. 4 He is the Christ, our God and Lord, Whose name we praise with one accord; Your Savior He has deigned to be, And from all sin will set you free. 5 Rich gifts He has in store for you, Prepared by God, our Father true; In yonder kingdom bright and fair You shall with us His glory share. 6 Oh, let us then most happy be And with the shepherds go to see What blessings God for us has won By sending us His only Son. 7 To that small crib direct your eyes; Behold a a gift that angels prize! Who is this Child so wondrous fair? The blessed Christ-child lieth there. 8 We welcome Thee, most noble Guest, Through whom this sinful world is blest. Thy coming is a boon for me; What thanks shall I return to Thee? Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: [Good news from heaven to earth I bear] Text Sources: Tr. comp.

From Heaven High I Come to Earth

Author: Martin Luther; Roland H. Bainton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From heaven high I come to earth; I bring good tidings of great mirth; this mirth is such a wondrous thing that I must tell you all and sing. 2 A little child for you this morn has from a chosen maid been born, a little child so tender, sweet, that you should skip upon your feet. 3 How glad we'll be that this is so! With all the shepherds let us go to see what God for us has done in sending us his own dear Son. 4 Look, look, my heart, and let me peek. Whom in the manger do you seek? Who is that lovely little one? The baby Jesus, God's own Son. 5 Be welcome, Lord; be now our guest. By you poor sinners have been blessed. In nakedness and cold you lie. How can I thank you; how can I? 6 You wanted so to make me know that you had let all great things go. You had a palace in the sky; you left it there for such as I. 7 And if the world were twice as wide, with gold and precious jewels inside, still such a cradle would not do to hold a babe as great as you. 8 To God who sent his only Son be glory, laud, and honor done. Let all the choir of heav'n rejoice, the new ring in with heart and voice. Topics: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Used With Tune: VOM HIMMEL HOCH

I Come From Th' Lofty Heav'ns Today

Author: Martin Luther; J. S. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: I come from th’ lofty heav’ns today Lyrics: 1 “I come from th’lofty heav’ns today; I bring a new melodious lay; A rich melodious lay I bring, And this the tale I tell, I sing: 2 “Lo! from a chosen maid this morn, A lovely Babe for you is born; That Babe, so soft, so mild, shall be Your joy, your sweet felicity. 3 “He is the Lord, our God on high! His bounty shall your need supply, His own heart’s blood your ransom pay, And wash each stain of guilt away. 4 “He brings you all the bliss profound His Father, God, diffuses round, That with us now and evermore, Ye may the realms of light explore. 5 “How mark the sign with fond desire, The manger and the mean attire; Lo! there you find the Infant lain, Whose hands the universe sustain. 6 "Come all, and let us joyful be; Come with the shepherds in and see What God’s unbounded love has done, To bless us with His own dear Son." 7 Attend, my heart! behold yon shed! Who fills that rude, that lowly bed? What babe is that, so sweet, so fair? Jesus, the lovely Babe, is there! 8 Welcome, illustrious Guest sublime! Thou hast not scorned a world of crime, But come in banishment to me: How shall I pay my thanks to Thee? 9 Alas! Creator, Lord of all! Art Thou the inmate of a stall? And hast Thou lain Thy lovely head Where menial beasts are nightly fed? 10 Had this wide world far wider bounds, Of gems and gold a rich compound, It were too poor, too small to be, A narrow cradle bed for Thee. 11 The swathing-band, the briary hay, Thy purple these, Thy silk array; On these, great Monarch! Thou canst shine, Rich as upon Thy throne divine. 12 Thus woulds! Thou teach my soul to see This worthless world’s reality; How power and fame, and fortune’s store, Beneath Thy splendor shine no more. 13 O Jesus! lovely Babe divine! Thy cradle be this heart of mine; There make a pure, soft shrine for Thee, That I may ne’er forgetful be. 14 That gladness may forever string My chainless soul to leap and sing, The luscious tones with bliss that brim, The charming songs of Susannim. 15 Glory and praise to God supreme! Glad hosts of angels seize the theme; With joy they peal the anthem new! "He gave His own dear Son for you!"

Soon may the last glad song arise

Author: Mrs. Vokes Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 252 hymnals Lyrics: Soon may the last glad song arise Through all the millions of the skies; That song of triumph which records That all the earth is now the Lord's. Let thrones and powers and kingdoms be Obedient, mighty God, to thee; And over land and stream and main Wave thou the scepter of thy reign. O that the anthem now might swell, And host to host the triumph tell, That not one rebel heart remains, But over all the Savior reigns! Amen.
