All My Heart This Night Rejoices

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: TH1990 #217 (1990) Meter: 8.3.3.6.8.3.3.6 Person Name: Johann G. Ebeling 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 Forth today the Conqu'ror goeth, who the foe, sin and woe, death and hell, o'erthroweth. God is man, man to deliver; his dear Son now is one with our blood forever. 3 Shall we still dread God's displeasure, who, to save, freely gave his most cherished Treasure? To redeem us, he hath given his own Son from the throne of his might in heaven. 4 He becomes the Lamb that taketh sin away and for aye full atonement maketh. For our life his own he tenders; and our race, by his grace, meet for glory renders. 5 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, soft and sweet, doth entreat: "Flee from woe and danger. Brethren, from all ills that grieve you, you are freed; all you need I will surely give you." 6 Come, then, banish all your sadness, one and all, great and small; come with songs of gladness. Love him who with love is glowing; hail the star, near and far light and joy bestowing. 7 Dearest Lord, thee will I cherish. Though my breath fail in death, yet I shall not perish, but with thee abide forever there on high, in that joy which can vanish never.

Why Should Cross and Trial Grieve Me?

Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: TH1990 #609 (1990) Meter: 8.3.3.6.7.3.3.6 Person Name: Johann G. Ebeling Lyrics: 1 Why should cross and trial grieve me? Christ is near with his cheer; never will he leave me. Who can rob me of the heaven that God's Son for my own to my faith hath given? 2 God oft gives me days of gladness; shall I grieve if he give seasons, too, of sadness? God is good and tempers ever all my ill, and he will wholly leave me never. 3 Death cannot destroy forever; from our fears, cares, and tears it will us deliver. It will close life's mournful story, make a way that we may enter heav'nly glory. 4 Lord, my Shepherd, take me to thee. Thou art mine; I was thine, even ere I knew thee. I am thine, for thou hast bought me; lost I stood, but thy blood free salvation brought me. 5 Thou art mine; I love and own thee. Light of joy, ne'er shall I from my heart dethrone thee. Savior, let me soon behold thee face to face; may thy grace evermore enfold me!

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: TH1990 #250 (1990) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Person Name: John Ellerton Lyrics: 1 Throned upon the awful tree, King of grief, I watch with thee. Darkness veils thine anguished face: none its lines of woe can trace: none can tell what pangs unknown hold thee silent and alone. 2 Silent through those three dread hours, wrestling with the evil pow'rs, left alone with human sin, gloom around thee and within, till th'appointed time is nigh, till the Lamb of God may die. 3 Hark, that cry that peals aloud upward through the whelming cloud! Thou, the Father's only Son, thou, his own Anointed One, thou dost ask him — can it be? — "Why hast thou forsaken me?" 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll darkly o'er my sinful soul, thou, who once wast thus bereft that thine own might never be left, teach me by that bitter cry in the gloom to know thee nigh.
