God's Dear Son Without Beginning

Author: Richard R. Chope Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God’s dear Son without beginning Whom the Jews of old did scorn, The Only Wise without all sinning On this blessèd day was born; To save us all from sin and thrall, When we in Satan’s chains were bound, And shed His blood to do us good, With many a purple bleeding wound. 2. Bethlehem, King David’s city, Was His birthplace, as we find, Who God and man endued with pity Was the Savior of mankind; Yet Jewry land with cruel hand, Both first and last His power envied; When He was born, they did Him scorn, And showed Him malice when He died. 3. Princely palace for our Savior In Judea was not found, But blessèd Mary’s meek behavior Patiently upon the ground Her babe did place in vile disgrace, Where oxen in their stalls did feed; No midwife mild had this sweet child No woman’s help at mother’s need. 4. Kingly robes nor golden treasure Decked the birthday of God’s Son; No pompous train at all took pleasure To this King of kings to run; No mantle brave could Jesus have Upon His cradle for to lie; Nor music’s charms in nurse’s arms To sing the babe a lullaby. 5. Yet as Mary sat in solace By our Savior’s first beginning, The host of angels from God’s palace Sounded sweet from Heaven singing; Yea, Heav’n and earth for Jesus’ birth, With sweet melodious tunes abound, And everything for Jewry’s king, Upon the earth gave cheerful sound. 6. Now to Him that hath redeemed us By His death on Holy Rood, And though poor sinners so esteemed us, That He bought us with His blood, Yield lasting fame, that still the name Of Jesus may be honored here; And let us say that Christmas Day Is still the best day of the year. Used With Tune: [God's dear Son without beginning] Text Sources: Carols for Use in Church, by Richard R. Chope (London: William Clowes & Sons, Limited, 1894), number 5, alt. The index of this book gives the source as "Fr. Gilbert's book."

During his residence at Stapleton the necessities of the Choir led him to plan his Congregational Hymn and Tune Book, published in 1857. In 1858 he took the Curacy of Sherborne, Dorset; in the following year that of Upton Scudamore, where he undertook the training of the Chorus of the Warminster district for the first Choral Festival in Salisbury Cathedral; and in 1861 that of Brompton.

Mr. Chope has been one of the leaders in the revival and reform of Church Music as adapted to the Public Services. He was one of the originators of The Choir and Musical Record, and was for some time the proprietor and assistant editor of the Literary Churchman. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
