Author: Tobias Clausnitzer, 1619-84; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 144 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Lyrics: 1 Blessèd Jesus, at your word
we are gathered all to hear you;
let our hearts and minds be stirred
now to seek and love and fear you;
by your gospel pure and holy,
teach us, Lord, to love you solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
till your Spirit breaks our night
with your beams of truth unclouded;
you alone to God can win us,
only you work good within us.
3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart,
light of light from God proceeding;
open lips and ears and heart,
help us by your Spirit's leading;.
hear the cry your church now raises;
Lord, accept our prayers and praises.

Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 111 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:78 Lyrics: 1 Jesus came, the heavens adoring,
Came with peace from realms on high;
Jesus came for man's redemption,
Lowly came on earth to die:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Came in deep humility.
2 Jesus comes again in mercy,
When our hearts are bowed with care;
Jesus comes again in answer
To our earnest heart-felt prayer;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Comes to save us from despair.
3 Jesus comes in joy and sorrow,
Shares alike our hopes and fears;
Jesus comes, whate'er befalls us,
Glads our hearts and dries our tears;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Cheering even our failing years.
4 Jesus comes on clouds triumphant,
When the heavens shall pass away:
Jesus comes again in glory;
Let us then our homage pay,
Alleluia! ever singing
Till the dawn of endless day.
Amen.

Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light
Author: Johann Rist; John Troutbeck (1833-1889); Fred Pratt Green (1903-) Meter: Irregular Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Lyrics: 1 Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light,
and usher in the morning;
O shepherds, shrink not with affright,
but hear the angel's warning.
This child, this little helpless boy,
shall be our confidence and joy,
the power of Satan breaking,
our peace eternal making.
2 This night of wonder, night of joy,
was born the Christ, our brother;
he comes, not mighty to destroy,
to bid us love each other.
How could he quit his kingly state
for such a world of greed and hate?
What deep humiliation
secured the world's salvation!
3 Come, dearest child, into our hearts,
and leave your crib behind you!
Let this be where the new life starts
for all who seek and find you.
To you be honour, thanks and praise,
for all your gifts this time of grace;
come, conquer and deliver
this world, and us, forever. Topics: Christmas; Epiphany Used With Tune: ERMUNTRE DICH

redemption's only spring!
Creator of the world art thou,
its Savior and its King.

which laid our sins on thee,
and led thee to a cruel death,
to set thy people free.
3 But now the bands of death are burst,
the ransom has been paid;
and thou art on thy Father's throne,
in glorious robes arrayed.
4 O Christ, be thou our lasting joy,
our ever great reward!
Our only glory may it be
to glory in the Lord.

Immanuel is Born
Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:68-70 First Line: Arise, and hail the happy day Lyrics: 1 Arise and hail the happy day,
Cast all low cares of life away,
And thought of meaner things:
This day to cure our deadly woes,
The Son of Righteousness arose,
With healing in his wings.
2 If angels on that happy morn,
The Saviour of the world was born,
Pour'd forth their joyful songs;
Much more should we of human race,
Adore the wonders of his grace,
To whom the grace belongs.
3 O then let heav'n and earth rejoice,
Let ev'ry creature join his voice,
To hymn that happy day;
Where Satan's empire vanquish'd fell,
And all the pow'rs of death and hell,
Confess'd his sov'reign sway. Topics: The Nativity of the Savior, Celebrated by Angels and Men Text Sources: Howard's Coll.
