A Babe is born in Bethlehem

Author: Anon. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #194 (1913) Meter: 8.4.8.8 Tune Title: [A Babe is born in Bethlehem] Lyrics: 1 A Babe is born in Bethlehem, In Bethlehem; Therefore rejoice, Jerusalem. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 2 He doth within a manger lie, A manger lie; Whose throne is set above the sky. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 3 Stillness was all the manger round, The manger round; The creature its Creator found. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 4 The wise men came, led by the star, Led by the star; Gold, myrrh and incense, brought from far. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 5 His mother is the virgin mild, The virgin mild; And He the Father's only child. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 6 Like us, in flesh of human frame, Of human frame; Unlike in sin alone He came. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 7 To fallen man Himself He bowed, Himself He bowed; That He might lift us up to God. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 8 On this most blessed Jubilee, Blest Jubilee, All glory be, O God, to Thee. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 9 The Holy Trinity be praised, Hallelujah; To God our ceaseless thanks be raised. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Topics: The Church Year Christmas; The Church Year Christmas

A few more years shall roll

Author: H. Bonar Hymnal: LHPN1913 #352 (1913) Tune Title: [A few more years shall roll] 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. A few more suns shall set O'er these dark hills of time, And we shall be where suns are not, A far serener clime. 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.

A great and mighty wonder

Author: St. Germannus, 634—634 Hymnal: LHPN1913 #182 (1913) Tune Title: [A great and mighty wonder] Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder Our Christmas festal brings: On earth, a lowly infant, Behold the King of kings! 2 The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high; And cherubim sing anthems To shepherds, from the sky. 3 And we with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: "To God on high be glory, And peace on earth to men!" 4 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethlehem, The Savior and the Lord! 6 All idol forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye.

A mighty fortress is our God

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: LHPN1913 #270 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Tune Title: [A mighty fortress is our God] Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; Our help is He in all our need, Our stay whate'er doth happen; For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; Strong mail of craft and power He weareth in this hour; On earth is not his equal. 2 Stood we alone in our own might, Our striving would be losing; For us the one true Man doth fight, The Man of God's own choosing. Who is this chosen One? 'Tis Jesus Christ, the Son, The Lord of hosts, 'tis He Who wins the victory In every field of battle. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All watching to devour us. Our souls to fear we need not yield, They cannot overpower us; Their dreaded prince no more Can harm us as of yore; His rage we can endure; For lo! his doom is sure, A word shall overthrow him. 4 Still must they leave God's word its might, For which no thanks they merit; Still is He with us in the fight, With His good gifts and Spirit. And should they, in the strife, Take kindred, goods, and life, We freely let them go, They profit not the foe; With us remains the kingdom.

A pilgrim and a stranger

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: LHPN1913 #504 (1913) Tune Title: [A pilgrim and a stranger] 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 I've met with storms and danger, E'en from my early years, With enemies and conflicts, With fightings and with fears. There's nothing here that tempts me To wish a longer stay, So I must hasten forward, No halting or delay. 3 It is a well-worn pathway-- Many have gone before; Thy holy saints and prophets, The patriarchs of yore. They trod the toilsome journey In patience and in faith; And them I fain would follow, Like them in life and death. 4 Who would share Abraham's blessing, Must Abraham's path pursue. A stranger and a pilgrim, Like him, must journey through. The foes must be encountered, The dangers must be passed; Only a faithful soldier, Receive the crown at last. 5 So I must hasten forwards,-- Thank God, the end will come! This land of my sojourning Is not my destined home. That evermore abideth, Jerusalem above, The everlasting city, The land of light and love. 6 There still my thoughts 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 wanderings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To the sweet home of peace. 7 There I shall dwell for ever, 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!

And let the babes we bring before Thee Now be baptized into Thy death. 2 Lord, after Thee we Christians all them. O let them in Thy name arise! And keep them Thine whate'er befall them, That they may reach Thy Paradise. 3 If thou their earthly race shouldst lengthen, Thy faithful servants let them prove; If few their days, their weakness strengthen, That they may share Thy dying love. 4 O write Thy blessed name, dear Savior, Upon their hearts we Thee implore; And on Thy palms engrave this favor, That they are Thine for evermore.

Abide with me! fast falls the eventide

Author: H. F. Lyte Hymnal: LHPN1913 #552 (1913) Tune Title: [Abide with me! fast falls the eventide] Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me! 3 Not a brief glance, I beg, a passing word, But as thou dwell'st with thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 4 Come, not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for evrry plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 7 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 8 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies, Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Abide with us, the day is waning

Author: C. J. Boye Hymnal: LHPN1913 #333 (1913) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Tune Title: [Abide with us, the day is waning] Lyrics: 1 Abide with us, the day is waning; Thus prayed the two while on the way; We read that Thou, 0 Lord, remaining, Didst all their doubts and fears allay. Incline Thine ear, Thou King of grace, When, praying thus, we seek Thy face. 2 At eventide, Thy Spirit sending, Help us, 0 Lord, our watch to keep, In prayer devout, before Thee bending, Ere we our eyelids close in sleep, Confessing sin in deed and word, With hope of mercy from the Lord. 3 Abide with us; with heavenly gladness Illumine, Lord, our darkest day; And when we weep in pain and sadness Be Thou our solace, strength, and stay; Tell of Thy woe, Thy victory won, When Thou didst pray: God's will be done. 4 Abide with us, 0 Savior tender, That bitter day when life shall end, When to the grave we must surrender, And fear and pain our hearts shall rend; The shield of faith do Thou bestow, When trembling we must meet the foe. 5 When earthly help no more availeth, To sup with us Thou wilt be nigh; Thou givest strength that never faileth, In Thee we grave and death defy: While earth is fading from our sight, Our eyes behold the realms of light.

According to Thy gracious word

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: LHPN1913 #151 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: [According to Thy gracious word] Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee. 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember Thee. 3 Gethsemane can I forget, Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember Thee. 5 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains, And all Thy love to me; Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember Thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy Kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.
