Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
Author: E. S. Elliot Meter: Irregular Appears in 416 hymnals Topics: Christ Birth of First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
For Thy holy nativity.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
Proclaiming Thy royal degree;
But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,
And in great humility.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word
That should set Thy people free;
But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,
At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room,
There is room at My side for thee."
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest and callest for me.
Baptist Hymnal, 1991
Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
O Love! How Deep
Author: John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Choral Section Birth of Christ First Line: O love! how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1. O love! how deep, how broad, how high;
It fills the heart with ecstasy,
That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortal's sake.
2. He sent no angel to our race,
Of higher or of lower place,
But wore the robe of human frame
Himself, and to this lost world came.
3. For us He prayed, for us He taught,
For us His daily works He wrought,
He bore the shameful cross and death;
For us at length gave up His breath.
4. For us He rose from death again,
For us He went on high to reign,
For us He sent His Spirit here
To guide, to stengthen and to cheer.

While shepherds watched their flocks

all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around.

had seized their troubled mind
"glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and all mankind.
3 "To you, in David's town, this day
is born of David's line
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:
4 "The heavenly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all simply wrapped in swaddling clothes
and in a manger laid."
5 Thus spoke the angel. Suddenly
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
to those on whom his favor rests
goodwill shall never cease."

Born to give them second birth. [Refrain] Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN

Christmas Bells
Author: Henry W. Longfellow Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Christ Birth of First Line: I heard the bells on Christmas day Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace of earth, good will to men.
2 I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th'unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
3 And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men."
5 Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Baptist Hymnal, 1991

Now listen for thine infant voice.

Forlorn and lowly is thy birth,
That we may rise to heav'n from earth.

To make us, in the realms divine,
Like thine own angels round thee shine.

For this we tune our cheerful lays,
And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.
