The Divinity of Christ

Hymnal: BW1867 #48 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Thee we adore, eternal Word! Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, eternal Word! The Father's equal Son; By heaven's obedient hosts adored, Ere time had yet begun. 2 The first creation has displayed Thine energy divine; For not a single thing was made By other hands than Thine. 3 But ransoned sinners, with delight, Sublimer facts survey-- The all-creating Word unites Himself to dust and clay. 4 Creation's Author now assumes A creature's humble form; A man of grief and woe becomes, And trod on like a worm. 5 The Lord of glory bears the shame To vile transgressors due; Justice the Prince of life condemns To die in anguish too. 6 God over all, for ever blessed, The righteous curse endures; And thus, to souls with sin distressed, Eternal bliss insures. 7 What wonders in Thy person meet, My Savior, all divine! I fall with rapture at Thy feet, And would be wholly Thine. Topics: God the Son Incarnation Languages: English

Watchman! tell us of the night

Hymnal: BW1867 #49 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Watchman! tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are! Traveler! o'er yon mountain's height: See that glory-beaming star! Watchman! does its beauteous ray Aught of hope or joy foretell? Traveler! yes; it brings the day-- Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman! tell us of the night; Higher yet that star ascends! Traveler! blessedness and light, Peace and truth its course portends! Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Traveler! ages are its own; See, it bursts o’er all the earth! 3 Watchman! tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn! Traveler, darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn! Watchman! let thy wandering cease Hie thee to thy quiet home; Traveler, lo! the Prince of peace, Lo! the Son of God is come! Topics: God the Son Incarnation Languages: English

O come, and let us worship at His feet. 3 Shout His almighty name, ye choirs of angels, Let the celestial courts His praise repeat: Unto our God be glory in the highest; O come, and let us worship at His feet.

No war nor battle's sound

Hymnal: BW1867 #51 (1867) Lyrics: 1 No war nor battle's sound Was heard the world around, No hostile chiefs to furious combat ran, But peaceful was the night, In which the Prince of light His reign of peace upon the earth began. 2 The shepherds on the lawn, Before the point of dawn, In social circle sat; while all around, The gentle, fleecy brood, Or cropped the flowery food, Or slept, or sported on the verdant ground,-- 3 When, lo! with ravishing ears, Each swain delighted hears, Sweet music, offspring of no mortal hand; Divinely-warbled voice, Answering the stringed noise, With blissful rapture charmed the listening band. 4 They saw a glorious light Burst on their wondering sight Harping in solemn choir, in robes arrayed, The helmed cherubim And sworded seraphim Are seen in glittering ranks, with wings displayed. 5 Sounds of so sweet a tone Before were never known, But when of old the sons of morning sung, While God disposed in air Each constellation fair, And the well-balanced world on hinges hung. 6 "Hail, hail, auspicious morn! The Saviour Christ is born!" Such was th' immortal seraph's song sublime; "Glory to God in heaven To man sweet peace be given, Sweet peace and friendship to the end of time."

Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King. 4 Saints! before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King.

Advent

Hymnal: BW1867 #54 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes Lyrics: 1 Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes, The Saviour promised long: Let every heart prepare a throne, And every voice a song. 2 On Him the Spirit, largely poured, Exerts His sacred fire; Wisdom and might, and zeal and love, His holy breast inspire. 3 He comes, the prisoners to release, In Satan's bondage held; The gates of brass before Him burst, The iron fetters yield. 4 He comes, from thickest films of vice To clear the mental ray; And on the eyes oppressed with night To pour celestial day. 5 He comes, the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure, And with the treasures of His grace T' enrich the humble poor. 6 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim; And heaven's eternal arches ring With Thy beloved Name.

Hymnal: BW1867 #55 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King! Peace on earth, and mercy mild; God and sinners reconciled!” 2 Joyful, all ye nations, rise; Join the triumph of the skies; With th' angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!” 3 Mild He lays His glory by; Born that we no more may die; Born to raise the sons of earth; Born to give them second birth. 4 Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace! Hail, the Sun of righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings. Topics: God the Son Incarnation Languages: English

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Hymnal: BW1867 #56 (1867) 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 dewdrops 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, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gold 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.
