Good Christian men, rejoice
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal #549 (1916) Meter: Irregular Topics: Carols; Sunday Schools Carols Lyrics:
Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say:
Jesus Christ is born today;
Ox and ass before him bow,
And he is in the manger now.
Christ is born today!
Christ is born today!
Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Now ye hear of endless bliss:
Jesus Christ was born for this!
He hath oped the heavenly door,
And man is blessèd evermore.
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!
Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all,
To gain his everlasting hall:
Christ was born to save!
Christ was born to save!

Dost thou in a manger lie
Author: Jean Mauburn; Elizabeth Charles Hymnal: The Hymnal #550 (1916) Meter: Irregular Topics: Carols; Sunday Schools Carols Lyrics:
Dost thou in a manger lie,
Who hast all created,
Stretching infant hands on high,
Savior, long awaited?
If a monarch, where thy state?
Where thy court on thee to wait?
Royal purple, where?
Here no regal pomp we see;
Naught but need and penury:
Why thus cradled here?
512
Pitying love for fallen man
Brought me down thus low;
For a race deep lost in sin,
Came I into woe.
By this lowly birth of mine,
Sinner, riches shall be thine,
Matchless gifts and free;
Willingly this yoke I take,
And this sacrifice I make,
Heaping joys for thee.
Fervent praise would I to thee
Evermore be raising;
For thy wondrous love to me
Thee be ever praising.
Glory, glory be for ever
Unto that most bounteous Giver,
And that loving Lord!
Better witness to thy worth,
Purer praise than ours on earth,
Angels' songs afford.
Amen.

Dost thou in a manger lie
The first Nowell the angel did say
Hymnal: The Hymnal #551 (1916) Meter: Irregular Topics: Carols; Sunday Schools Carols Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Refrain:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
2 They lookèd up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]
3 And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
4 This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
5 Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain]
6 Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;
That hath made heaven and earth of naught,
And with his blood mankind hath bought. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: THE FIRST NOWELL
The first Nowell the angel did say
Joy fills our inmost hearts today!
Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: The Hymnal #552 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.8 Topics: Carols; Sunday Schools Carols Lyrics:
Joy fills our inmost hearts today!
The royal Child is born;
And angel hosts in glad array
His advent keep this morn.
Rejoice, rejoice! the incarnate Word
Has come on earth to dwell;
No sweeter sound than this is heard,
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
514
Low at the cradle throne we bend,
We wonder and adore;
And feel no bliss can ours transcend,
No joy was sweet before.
Rejoice, rejoice! the incarnate Word
Has come on earth to dwell;
No sweeter sound than this is heard,
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
For us the world must lose its charms
Before the manger shrine,
When, folded in thy mother's arms,
We see thee, Babe divine.
Rejoice, rejoice! the incarnate Word
Has come on earth to dwell;
No sweeter sound than this is heard,
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
Thou Light of uncreated Light,
Shine on us, holy Child;
That we may keep thy birthday bright,
With service undefiled.
Rejoice, rejoice! the incarnate Word
Has come on earth to dwell;
No sweeter sound than this is heard,
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
Amen.

Joy fills our inmost hearts today!
O sons and daughters, let us sing!
Author: Jean Tisserand, d. 1494; John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal #555 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8 with alleluias Topics: Carols; Sunday Schools Carols Lyrics:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
O sons and daughters, let us sing!
The King of heaven, the glorious King,
O'er death today rose triumphing.
That Easter morn, at break of day,
The faithful women went their way
To seek the tomb where Jesus lay.
An angel clad in white they see,
Who sat, and spake unto the three,
"Your Lord doth go to Galilee."
That night the apostles met in fear;
Amidst them came their Lord most dear,
And said, "My peace be on all here."
When Thomas first the tidings heard,
How they had seen the risen Lord,
He doubted the disciples' word.
"My pierced hands, O Thomas, see;
My hands, my feet, I show to thee;
Not faithless, but believing be."
No longer Thomas then denied,
He saw the feet, the hands, the side;
"Thou art my Lord and God," he cried.
How blest are they who have not seen,
And yet whose faith has constant been,
For they eternal life shall win.
On this most holy day of days,
To God your hearts and voices raise,
In laud, and jubilee, and praise.
Alleluia!

Joy dawned again on Easter-Day
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal #556a (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Carols; Sunday Schools Carols Lyrics:
Joy dawned again on Easter-Day,
The sun shone out with fairer ray,
When, to their longing eyes restored,
The apostles saw their risen Lord.
His risen flesh with radiance glowed;
His wounded hands and feet he showed:
Those scars their silent witness gave
That Christ was risen from the grave.
O Jesus, King of gentleness,
Do thou our inmost hearts possess;
And we to thee will ever raise
The tribute of our grateful praise.
Jesus, who art the Lord of all,
In this our Easter festival,
From every weapon death can wield
Thine own redeemed, thy people, shield.
All praise, O risen Lord, we give
To thee, who, dead, again dost live;
To God the Father equal praise,
And God the Holy Ghost, we raise.
Amen.

Joy dawned again on Easter-Day
Angels sing His triumph as you sang His birth
Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: The Hymnal #557 (1916) Topics: Carols; Sunday Schools Carols First Line: God hath sent His angels to the earth again Lyrics:
God hath sent his angels to the earth again,
Bringing joyful tidings to the sons of men;
They who first, at Christmas, thronged the heavenly way,
Now beside the tomb-door, sit on Easter Day.
Angels sing his triumph, as you sang his birth,
"Christ, the Lord, is risen. Peace, goodwill on earth."
In the dreadful desert, where the Lord was tried,
There the faithful angels gathered at his side;
And when in the garden, grief and pain and care
Bowed him down with anguish, they were with him there.
Yet the Christ they honor is the same Christ still,
Who, in light and darkness, did his Father's will;
And the tomb deserted shineth like the sky,
Since he passed out from it into victory.
God has still His angels, helping, at his word,
All his faithful children, like their faithful Lord;
Soothing them in sorrow, arming them in strife,
Opening wide the tomb-doors, leading into life.

Angels sing His triumph as you sang His birth
On wings of living light
Author: W. Walsham How Hymnal: The Hymnal #559 (1916) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Carols; Sunday Schools Carols Lyrics:
On wings of living light,
At earliest dawn of day,
Came down the angel bright,
And rolled the stone away.
Your voices raise with one accord
To bless and praise your risen Lord.
The keepers watching near,
At that dread sight and sound,
Fell down with sudden fear
Like dead men to the ground.
Then rose from death's dark gloom,
Unseen by mortal eye,
Triumphant o'er the tomb,
The Lord of earth and sky!
521
O let your hearts be strong!
For we, like him, shall rise,
To dwell with him ere long
In bliss beyond the skies.

On wings of living light
Ring out the bells for Christmas
Author: E. A. Washburn Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #656 (1920) Topics: Youth and School Life Carols Lyrics: 1 Ring out the bells for Christmas,
The happy, happy day,
In Winter wild, the Holy Child
Within a cradle lay.
O wonderful! the Saviour
Is in a manger lone;
His palace is a stable,
And Mary's arm His throne.
Chorus:
Ring out the bells for Christmas,
The happy, happy day,
Ring out the bells for Christmas,
The happy, happy day.
2 On Bethlehem's quiet hillside,
In ages long gone by,
In angel notes the Glory floats,
Glory to God on high!
Yet wakes the sun as joyous
As when the Lord was born,
And still He comes to greet you
On every Christmas morn. [Chorus]
3 Where'er His sweet lambs gather
Within this gentle fold,
The Saviour dear is waiting near
As in the days of old;
In each young heart you see Him,
In every guileless face
You see the Holy Jesus,
Who grew in truth and grace. [Chorus]
4 Then sing your gladsome carols,
And hail the newborn Sun;
For Christmas light is passing bright,
It smiles on every one.
And feast Christ's little children
His poor, His orphan call;
For He who chose the manger,
He loveth one and all. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Ring out the bells for Christmas]
