Christmas brings joy to every heart

Author: Cecil Cowdrey; Bernhardt Severin Ingemann, 1789 - 1862 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #46 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Christmas brings joy to every heart, Sets old and young rejoicing, What angels sang once to all on earth Oh, hear the children voicing. Bright is the tree with lights aglow, Like birds that perch together. The child that holdeth Christmas dear Shall keep these joys forever. 2 Joy comes to the all the world today, To halls and cottage hasting. Come, sparrow and dove, from roof tree tall, And share our Christmas feasting. Dance, little child, on mother’s knee, The lovely day is dawning; The road to Paradise is found The blessèd Christmas morning. 3 Once to this earth our Saviour came, An infant poor and lowly, To open for us those gardens fair Where dwell his angels holy. Christmas joy he bringeth us, The Christ-child King of heaven, 'To every little child,' he saith, 'Shall angel wings be given.'

Away in a manger, no crib for his bed

Author: Anonymous; John Thomas McFarland, 1851 - 1913 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #47 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for his bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head; The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. A-men. 2 The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle to watch lullaby. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: AWAY IN A MANGER

This, this is Christ the King

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? Refrain: This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste to bring him laud, The Babe, the son of Mary. 2 Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear; for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. [Refrain] 3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come, peasant, king, to own him; The King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone him.

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814 - 78; Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, 348 - 413 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #51 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Earth has many a noble city; Bethlehem, thou dost all excel: Out of thee the Lord from heaven Came to rule his Israel. 2 Fairer than the sun at morning Was the star that told his birth, To the world its God announcing Seen in fleshly form on earth. 3 Eastern sages at his cradle Make oblations rich and rare; See them give, in deep devotion, Gold and frankincense, and myrrh. A-men. 4 Sacred gifts of mystic meaning: Incense doth their God disclose, Gold the King of kings proclaimeth, Myrrh his sepulchre foreshows. 5 Jesu, whom the Gentiles worshipped At thy glad Epiphany, Unto thee, with God the Father And the Spirit, glory be. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART

As with gladness men of old

Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837 - 98 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #52 (1958) Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious God, may we Evermore be led to thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to thee, our heavenly King. A-men. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright Need they no created light; Thou its light, its joy, its crown, Thou its sun which goes not down; There for ever may we sing Alleluias to our King. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: DIX (TREUER HEILAND)

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783 - 1826 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #53a (1958) Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the east, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom and offerings divine; Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would his favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the east, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
