A Babe Is Born In Bethlehem

Author: J. C. Aaberg; N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: ALH1930 #612 (1930) Meter: 8.3.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A Babe is born in Bethlehem, Bethlehem, Rejoice, rejoice, Jerusalem; Hallelujah, hallelujah. 2 A lowly virgin gave Him birth, Gave Him birth, Who rules the heavens and the earth; Hallelujah, hallelujah. 3 He in a simple manger lay, Manger lay, Whom angels praise with joy for aye; Hallelujah, hallelujah. 4 And wise men from the East did bring, East did bring, Gold, myrrh and incense to the King; Hallelujah, hallelujah. 5 Now all our fears have passed away, Passed away, The Savior blest was born today; Hallelujah, hallelujah. 6 God's blessed children we became, We became, And shall in heaven praise His name; Hallelujah, hallelujah. 7 Then like the angels we shall be, We shall be, God's holy presence we shall see; Hallelujah, hallelujah. 8 The angels there with great delight, Great delight, Will teach the song they sang this night, Hallelujah, hallelujah. 9 With gladsome praises we adore, We adore, Our Lord and Savior evermore; Hallelujah, hallelujah.

A Broken Heart, My God, My King

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: ALH1930 #75 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 2 My soul lies humbled in the dust And owns Thy dreadful sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye And save the soul condemned to die. 3 Then will I teach the world Thy ways; Sinner shall learn Thy sov'reign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. 4 O may Thy love inspire my tongue; Salvation shall be all my song, And all my pow'r shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness.

A Few More Years Shall Roll

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: ALH1930 #365 (1930) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 2 A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Sylvester Eve Languages: English Tune Title: LEOMINSTER

A Great And Mighty Wonder

Author: John M. Neale; Anatolius Hymnal: ALH1930 #363 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder Our Christmas festal brings: On earth, a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings! The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high, And Cherubim to shepherds Sing anthems from the sky. 2 And we with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: To God on high be glory, And peace on earth to men! While thus they sing your Monarch, Those bright angelic bands, Rejoice, ye vales and mountains; Ye oceans, clap your hands! 3 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethl'hem, The Savior and the Lord! All idols forms shall perish, All error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye. Amen.

A Lamb Goes Forth Our Griefs To Share

Author: H. Brueckner; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: ALH1930 #396 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 A Lamb goes forth our griefs to share, In spirit meek and lowly; He deigns our sin and guilt to bear, This Lamb of God most holy. He goes His way, grows weak and faint, To death is led without complaint, His precious life to offer. He gladly suffers pain and death, And tells us with His dying breath: For you all this I proffer. 2 This gentle Lamb, our dearest Friend, Before the world's foundation Was chosen all our woes to end, To merit our salvation. Said God: My Son, the Savior be Of those who are condemned by Me Because of their transgression. Great is My wrath and sore their loss; Go, die for them upon the cross, Make heaven their possession. 3 The Son replied: O Father mine, To suffer I am willing; My will is in accord with Thine, All righteousness fulfilling.-- O wondrous Love, what hast Thou done! God offers up His only Son, And He to earth descendeth. Here, Love, Thy strength is manifest: He suffers death at Thy behest Whose word the mountains rendeth. 4 Suspended on the tree of shame, He suffers mortal anguish; For all our sins He takes the blame, In grief His soul must languish. His sighs are proof of mortal pain, And opened up is ev'ry vein, His blood in mercy flowing. O gentle Lamb, what shall it be That I in turn may offer Thee, My grateful spirit showing? 5 As long as I my breath retain, Thy tender love beholding, I faithful shall to Thee remain And rest in Thine enfolding. Thy love within my heart shall shine, And I shall prize that light divine Till death mine eyelids closeth; Thou shalt my very being own, And I shall live to Thee alone; My all in Thee reposeth. 6 When I at last Thy kingdom see, With all its boundless treasure, Thy blood my purple robe shall be, My source of joy and pleasure. It shall become my royal crown When I before God's throne kneel down, In deepest homage bending. Then He will place me at Thy side, Bedecked and jeweled as a bride, With angel hosts attending.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: ALH1930 #486 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A Mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon! He is our help in ev'ry need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old bitter foe Now means deadly woe; Deep guile and cruel might Are his dread arms in fight: On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye, who is He? Christ Jesus here see. As Lord of hosts adored, Our only King and Lord: He holds the field forever. 3 Tho' devils all the world should fill, All watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpow'r us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will; He yet can harm us none, For he is judged, undone! One little word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word of God they shall let stand Nor any thanks have for it; Here Christ Himself leads the command With His good gifts and Spirit. Take they then our life, Goods, fame, child and wife; When they their worst have done, They yet have nothing won: The Kingdom ours remaineth.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our Lord

Author: Paul E. Kretzmann; Martin Luther Hymnal: ALH1930 #487 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our Lord, A sure defense to save us! He frees us with His trusty sword When trouble would enslave us. The foe of all mankind Great evil has designed; His cruel weapons still Are force and cunning skill; On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours we cannot win, Soon were our loss effected; But with us in the battle's din Is One whom God elected. Ask ye, Who may this be? The Lord of hosts is He; Christ Jesus is His name, True God from heav'n He came In ev'ry strife to conquer. 3 Tho' devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not overpow'r us. The prince of hell may still Scowl fiercely as he will, No harm to us is done, He's judged, the fight is won; A single word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word of God shall stand secure; They cannot work their pleasure. The Spirit, with His gifts so pure, We have in fullest measure. What tho' they take this life, Goods, honor, child and wife, Their hatred still is vain, They have no lasting gain; We still possess the kingdom.

A Pilgrim And A Stranger

Author: Jane Borthwick; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: ALH1930 #319 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger, I journey here below, Far distant is my country, The home to which I go. Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and oppressed, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 There still my tho'ts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call Thy servant To blessedness with Thee! Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wand'rings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To Thy sweet home of peace! 3 There I shall dwell forever, No more a stranger guest, With all Thy blood-bought children In everlasting rest: The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind us, Eternal joys before!
