All My Heart This Night Rejoices

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Appears in 275 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All my heart this night rejoices, As I hear, Far and near, Sweetest angel voices: "Christ is born," their choirs are singing, Till the air Ev'rywhere Now with joy is ringing. 2. Come and banish all your sadness, One and all, Great and small, Come with songs of gladness; Love Him who with love is yearning; Hail the star That from far Bright with hope is burning. 3. Hither come, ye heavy-hearted, Who for sin, Deep within, Long and sore have smarted; For the poisoned wounds you're feeling Help is near, One is here Mighty for their healing. 4. Hither come, ye poor and wretched, Know His will Is to fill Ev'ry hand outstretched; Here are riches without measure, Here forget All regret, Fill your hearts with treasure. 5. Faithfully Thee, Lord, I'll cherish, Live to Thee, And with Thee Dying, shall not perish, But shall dwell with Thee forever, Far on high, In the joy That can alter never.

Heaven is thine, and Christ shall own thee: Faithful be Until He Shall with triumph crown thee. 2 Painful cross if He should send me, Shall I faint With complaint, Lest the grief should end me? He hath borne the cross before me: Soon no pain Shall remain, Only peace be o'er me. 3 Hopeful, cheerful, and undaunted, Everywhere They appear Who in Christ are planted: Death itself cannot appall them: They rejoice When the voice Of their Lord doth call them. 4 Death cannot destroy forever: From our fears, Cares and tears, Soon shall it deliver. Doors of grief and gloom it closes, While the soul, Free and whole, With the saints reposes. 5 Lord, my Shepherd, take me to Thee! I am Thine. Thou art mine, Even ere I knew Thee. I am Thine, for Thou hast bought me: Lost I stood, But Thy blood Free salvation brought me. 6 Thou art mine, and, for my guiding, Be Thy bright Shining light In my heart abiding! Savior dear! let me, attaining To Thy side, There abide, With Thee ever reigning!

Author: Jean Mauburn; George R. Woodward Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Ah! Lord God, the world’s Creator, King of all, great or small, Earth’s Regenerator; Art Thou cradled, art Thou crying, Swathed and bound, on the ground, In the stable lying? 2. Love of man hath brought Me hither, Cords of love, from above, To exalt him thither; Dead in trespass, child, I sought thee; Gone astray, from My way, Life and pardon brought thee. 3. Empty be My scrip and coffer, Yet ’tis wealth, plenty, health, I am come to offer; Haste I to enrich and dress thee; Born to die, low I lie, And would gladly bless thee. 4. Therefore thousand thousand praises Are Thy due, Babe Jesu, These my heart upraises; Angels, mortals, furthest, nighest, Sing in mirth, Peace on earth, Glory in the highest.

Why Should I Repine In Sadness?

Author: H. Brueckner; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Why should I repine in sadness? Left alone, still I own Christ, the Sun of gladness. Nor am I deprived of heaven, Which the Lord, my reward, To my faith has given. 2 What though earthly cares o'ertake me, Pain and loss be my cross? He will not forsake me. Sure relief from Him obtaining, I shall see darkness flee And the shadows waning. 3 From a thousand ills that grieve us In this life full of strife Death can but relieve us. For it closeth sorrow's portal Evermore, and its door Leads to joys immortal. 4 What is all this life containeth But a hand full of sand? Earthly treasure waneth. Nobler gifts beyond are waiting, While my Lord will award Pleasure unabating. 5 Lord, my Joy-spring, flowing ever, I am Thine, Thou art mine; Naught our hearts shall sever. Thou for me Thy life didst offer, Thou alone now dost own All I have to proffer. 6 Thou art mine, by faith own Thee, Nor will I, Light of joy. From my heart dethrone Thee. Grant that I Thy face beholding, Ever may with Thee stay, Blest in love's enfolding. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: LÜNEBURG
