Good Christian men, rejoice

Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: EH1916 #549 (1916) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: Good Christian men, rejoice, With heart, and soul, and voice; Give ye heed to what we say: Jesus Christ is born today; Ox and ass before him bow, And he is in the manger now. Christ is born today! Christ is born today! Good Christian men, rejoice, With heart, and soul, and voice; Now ye hear of endless bliss: Jesus Christ was born for this! He hath oped the heavenly door, And man is blessèd evermore. Christ was born for this! Christ was born for this! Good Christian men, rejoice, With heart, and soul, and voice; Now ye need not fear the grave: Jesus Christ was born to save! Calls you one and calls you all, To gain his everlasting hall: Christ was born to save! Christ was born to save!

Dost thou in a manger lie

Author: Jean Mauburn; Elizabeth Charles Hymnal: EH1916 #550 (1916) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: Dost thou in a manger lie, Who hast all created, Stretching infant hands on high, Savior, long awaited? If a monarch, where thy state? Where thy court on thee to wait? Royal purple, where? Here no regal pomp we see; Naught but need and penury: Why thus cradled here? 512 Pitying love for fallen man Brought me down thus low; For a race deep lost in sin, Came I into woe. By this lowly birth of mine, Sinner, riches shall be thine, Matchless gifts and free; Willingly this yoke I take, And this sacrifice I make, Heaping joys for thee. Fervent praise would I to thee Evermore be raising; For thy wondrous love to me Thee be ever praising. Glory, glory be for ever Unto that most bounteous Giver, And that loving Lord! Better witness to thy worth, Purer praise than ours on earth, Angels' songs afford. Amen. Topics: Christmas; Carols; Sunday Schools Carols Languages: English Tune Title: MAUBURN

The first Nowell the angel did say

Hymnal: EH1916 #551 (1916) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Refrain: Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. 2 They lookèd up and saw a star Shining in the east, beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain] 3 And by the light of that same star Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain] 4 This star drew nigh to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain] 5 Then entered in those wise men three Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there in his presence Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain] 6 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord; That hath made heaven and earth of naught, And with his blood mankind hath bought.

Joy fills our inmost hearts today!

Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: EH1916 #552 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics: Joy fills our inmost hearts today! The royal Child is born; And angel hosts in glad array His advent keep this morn. Rejoice, rejoice! the incarnate Word Has come on earth to dwell; No sweeter sound than this is heard, Emmanuel, Emmanuel. 514 Low at the cradle throne we bend, We wonder and adore; And feel no bliss can ours transcend, No joy was sweet before. Rejoice, rejoice! the incarnate Word Has come on earth to dwell; No sweeter sound than this is heard, Emmanuel, Emmanuel. For us the world must lose its charms Before the manger shrine, When, folded in thy mother's arms, We see thee, Babe divine. Rejoice, rejoice! the incarnate Word Has come on earth to dwell; No sweeter sound than this is heard, Emmanuel, Emmanuel. Thou Light of uncreated Light, Shine on us, holy Child; That we may keep thy birthday bright, With service undefiled. Rejoice, rejoice! the incarnate Word Has come on earth to dwell; No sweeter sound than this is heard, Emmanuel, Emmanuel. Amen.

Saw you never, in the twilight

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: EH1916 #553 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: Saw you never, in the twilight, When the sun had left the skies, Up in heaven the clear stars shining Through the gloom, like silver eyes? So of old the wise men, watching, Saw a little stranger star, And they knew the King was given, And they followed it from far. Heard you never of the story How they crossed the desert wild, Journeyed on by plain and mountain Till they found the holy Child? 515 How they opened all their treasure, Kneeling to that infant King; Gave the gold and fragrant incense, Gave the myrrh in offering? Know ye not that lowly baby Was the bright and morning Star? He who came to light the Gentiles, And the darkened isles afar? And we, too, may seek his cradle; There our hearts' best treasures bring; Love, and faith, and true devotion For our Savior, God, and King.

We three kings of Orient are

Author: John Henry Hopkins, Jun. Hymnal: EH1916 #554 (1916) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: We three kings of Orient are, Bearing gifts we traverse afar, Field and fountain, Moor and mountain, Following yonder star. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright; Westward leading, Still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. Born a King on Bethlehem's plain, Gold I bring to crown him again, King for ever, Ceasing never Over us all to reign. 516 Frankincense to offer have I, Incense owns a Deity nigh, Prayer and praising, All men raising, Worship him, God on high. Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, Bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. Glorious now behold him arise, King, and God, and Sacrifice, Heav'n sings Alle- luia: Alle- luia the earth replies. Amen.

O sons and daughters, let us sing!

Author: Jean Tisserand, d. 1494; John Mason Neale Hymnal: EH1916 #555 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8 with alleluias Lyrics: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! O sons and daughters, let us sing! The King of heaven, the glorious King, O'er death today rose triumphing. That Easter morn, at break of day, The faithful women went their way To seek the tomb where Jesus lay. An angel clad in white they see, Who sat, and spake unto the three, "Your Lord doth go to Galilee." That night the apostles met in fear; Amidst them came their Lord most dear, And said, "My peace be on all here." When Thomas first the tidings heard, How they had seen the risen Lord, He doubted the disciples' word. "My pierced hands, O Thomas, see; My hands, my feet, I show to thee; Not faithless, but believing be." No longer Thomas then denied, He saw the feet, the hands, the side; "Thou art my Lord and God," he cried. How blest are they who have not seen, And yet whose faith has constant been, For they eternal life shall win. On this most holy day of days, To God your hearts and voices raise, In laud, and jubilee, and praise. Alleluia!

Joy dawned again on Easter-Day

Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: EH1916 #556a (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Joy dawned again on Easter-Day, The sun shone out with fairer ray, When, to their longing eyes restored, The apostles saw their risen Lord. His risen flesh with radiance glowed; His wounded hands and feet he showed: Those scars their silent witness gave That Christ was risen from the grave. O Jesus, King of gentleness, Do thou our inmost hearts possess; And we to thee will ever raise The tribute of our grateful praise. Jesus, who art the Lord of all, In this our Easter festival, From every weapon death can wield Thine own redeemed, thy people, shield. All praise, O risen Lord, we give To thee, who, dead, again dost live; To God the Father equal praise, And God the Holy Ghost, we raise. Amen.

Angels sing His triumph as you sang His birth

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: EH1916 #557 (1916) First Line: God hath sent His angels to the earth again Lyrics: God hath sent his angels to the earth again, Bringing joyful tidings to the sons of men; They who first, at Christmas, thronged the heavenly way, Now beside the tomb-door, sit on Easter Day. Angels sing his triumph, as you sang his birth, "Christ, the Lord, is risen. Peace, goodwill on earth." In the dreadful desert, where the Lord was tried, There the faithful angels gathered at his side; And when in the garden, grief and pain and care Bowed him down with anguish, they were with him there. Yet the Christ they honor is the same Christ still, Who, in light and darkness, did his Father's will; And the tomb deserted shineth like the sky, Since he passed out from it into victory. God has still His angels, helping, at his word, All his faithful children, like their faithful Lord; Soothing them in sorrow, arming them in strife, Opening wide the tomb-doors, leading into life.
