Once in Royal David's City

Author: C. F. Alexander1818-95 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #139 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Nativity of our Lord Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for his bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the poor and mean and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern; Day by day like us He grew; He was little, weak, and helpless; Tears and smiles like us He knew, And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child, so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above; And he leads His children on To the place where He is gone. 5 Not in that poor lowly stable With the oxen standing by We shall see Him; but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; Where, like stars, His children crowned, All in white shall wait around.

All My Heart Sings and Rejoices

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #115 (1996) Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Topics: Nativity of our Lord 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 Conqueror 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 Should He who Himself imparted Aught withhold From the fold, Leave us broken-hearted? Should the Son of God not love us, Who, to cheer Suff'rers here, Left His throne above us? 5 If our blessed Lord and Maker Hated men, Would He then Be of flesh partaker? If He in our woe delighted, Would He bear All the care Of our race benighted? 6 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. 7 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." 8 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. 9 Ye whose anguish knew no measure, Weep no more; See the door To celestial pleasure. Cling to Him, for He will guide you Where no cross, Pain, or loss Can again betide you. 10 Hither come, ye heavy-hearted, Who for sin, Deep within, Long and sore have smarted. For the poisoned wounds you're feeling Help is near, One is here Mighty for their healing. 11 Hither come, ye poor and wretched; Know His will Is to fill Every hand outstretched. Here are riches without measure; Here forget All regret, Fill your hearts with treasure. 12 Let me in my arms receive Thee; On Thy breast Let me rest, Savior, ne'er to leave Thee. Since Thou hast Thyself presented Now to me, I shall be Evermore contented. 13 Guilt no longer can distress me; Son of God, Thou my load Bearest to release me. Stain in me Thou findest never; I am clean, All my sin Is removed forever. 14 I am pure, in Thee believing, From Thy store Evermore Righteous robes receiving In my heart I will enfold Thee, Treasure rare, Let me there, Loving, ever hold Thee. 15 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. Languages: English Tune Title: FRÖLICH SOLL MEIN HERZE SPRINGEN

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: P. Brooks, 1835-93 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #137 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: Nativity of our Lord Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary; And, gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to all on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav'n. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

From Thy heav'nly home Thou to our vale of tears art come; Man hath no off'ring for Thee save The stable, manger, cross, and grave. 4 Jesus, alas! how can it be So few bestow a thought on Thee Or on the love, so wondrous great, That drew Thee down to our estate? 5 O draw us wholly to Thee, Lord, Do Thou to us Thy grace accord, True faith and love to us impart, That we may hold Thee in our heart. 6 Keep us, howe'er the world may lure, In our baptismal cov'nant pure; That ev'ry yearning thought may be Directed only unto Thee. 7 Until at last we, too, proclaim, With all Thy saints, Thy glorious name; In Paradise our songs renew, And praise Thee as the angels do. 8 We gather round Thee, Jesus dear, So happy in Thy presence here; Grant us, our Savior, ev'ry one, To stand in heav'n before Thy throne.

Come, let us all unite to praise

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms with occasional hymns (Charleston hymnal) #H.IV (1792) Topics: The Nativity of Our Lord and Savior Lyrics: 1 Come, let us all unite to praise The Saviour of mankind, Our thankful hearts, in solemn lays, Be with our voices join'd. 2 But how shall we his love declare, When Angels try in vain; Their faces veil, when they appear Before the Son of Man. 3 Yet Lord, we cannot silent be, By love we are constrain'd To offer our best thanks to thee, Our Saviour and our friend. 4 Though feeble are our best essays, Thy love will not despise Our grateful songs of humble praise, Our well-meant sacrifice. 5 Worship and honour, thanks and love, Be to our Saviour giv'n; By Men below, by hosts above, By all in earth and heav'n!
