The happy Christmas comes once more
Hymnal: Sunday School Book #19 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas Lyrics: 1 The happy Christmas comes once more,
The heavenly Guest is at the door,
The blessed words the shepherds thrill,
The joyous tidings: Peace, Good will.
2 To David's city let us fly,
Where angels sing beneath the sky,
Through plain and village pressing near,
And news from God with shepherds hear.
3 Oh, let us go with quiet mind,
The gentle Babe with shepherds find,
To gaze on Him who gladdens them,
The loveliest flower of Jesse's stem.
4 The lowly Saviour meekly lies,
Laid off the splendor of the skies;
No crown bedecks His forehead fair,
No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there.
5 No human glory, might and gold,
The lovely Infant's form enfold;
The manger and the swaddlings poor
Are His, whom angels' songs adore.
6 Oh, wake our hearts, in gladness sing,
And keep our Christmas with our King,
Till living son, from loving souls,
Like sound of mighty waters rolls.
7 O holy Child, Thy manger streams
Till earth and heaven glow with its beams,
Till midnight noon's bright light has won,
And Jacob's Star outshines the sun.
8 Thou Patriarchs' joy. Thou Prophets' song,
Thou heavenly Day-Spring, looked for long,
Thou Son of man, Incarnate Word,
Great David's Son, great David's Lord!
9 Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest,
Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast,
Then David's harp-strings, hushed so long,
Shall swell our Jubilee of song.
The happy Christmas comes once more
I have heard of a tree (Heaven's Christmas Tree)

it was fixed in yon Bethlehem's stall,
The blessings of heaven for you and for me,
a Christmas present for all.
Refrain:
There is a package for me on that tree;
a precious token that someone loves me.
Oh yes, I can see on Calvary's tree,
that there is a package for me.
2 There is one I behold in letters of gold,
it hangs on a limb near to me,
'Tis labeled "salvation," and Jesus, I'm told,
has bought that package for me. [Refrain]
3 There is one just above, it's title is love,
it is marked by a deep crimson stain.
For there it was tied by the Lord when he died,
and glory to his dear name. [Refrain]
4 Another I see, it must be for me,
the worlds "I will help you" I read.
While holding his hand, by faith I can stand,
and this is the package I need. [Refrain]
5 There are many, I'm sure, but just this one more
I speak of above all the rest.
It spells "happy home" with God near the throne,
a place where the weary shall rest. [Refrain]

O little town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93 Hymnal: Complete Mission Praise #503a (1999) Topics: Seasons of the Christian Year Advent and Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS CAROL
O little town of Bethlehem
Hark, a burst of heavenly music!
Hymnal: Sunday School Book #21 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas First Line: Hark, a burst of heavenly music Lyrics: 1 Hark, a burst of heavenly music
From a band of seraphs bright,
Suddenly to earth descending
In the calm and silent night!
And the shepherds of Judea,
Watching in the earliest dawn,
Hear the glad and joyful tidings,
"Jesus, Prince of Peace, is born!"
Sweet and clear those angel voices,
Echoing through the starry sky,
As they chant the heavenly chorus,
"Glory be to God on high!"
2 Slumbering in a lowly manger
Lies the mighty Lord of all;
And before the holy stranger
See the trembling shepherds fall.
He has come, the long-expected,
Full of wisdom, love, and grace,
To redeem His ruined creatures,
To restore our fallen race.
So let angels wake the chorus!
So let ransomed men reply!
Chanting the celestial anthem,
"Glory be to God on high!"
3 And this joyful Christmas morning,
Breaking o'er the world below,
Tells against the wondrous story
Shepherds heard so long ago.
Who shall still our tuneful voices,
Who the tide of praise shall stem,
Which the blessed angels taught us
In the fields of Bethlehem?
Hark! we hear again the chorus,
Ringing through the starry sky,
And we join the heavenly anthem,
"Glory be to God on high!"
Hark, a burst of heavenly music!
O little town of Bethlehem
Hymnal: Sunday School Book #26 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas 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 darkness shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.
2 For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God our King,
And peace to men on earth.
3 How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
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 to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels,
The great glad tidings tell:
Oh, come to us; abide with us,
Our Lord Immanuel!
O little town of Bethlehem

A great and mighty wonder
All hail to thee, O blessed morn!
Hymnal: Sunday School Book #18 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas Lyrics: 1 All hail to thee, O blessed morn!
To tidings, long by prophets borne,
Hast Thou fulfillment given.
A sacred and immortal day,
When unto earth, in glorious ray,
Descends the grace of heaven!
Singing, Ringing,
Sounds are blending,
Praises sending
Unto heaven
For the Lord to mankind given.
2 'Tis God's own Image and, withal,
The Son of Man, that mortals all
May find in Him a brother.
He comes with peace and love to bide
On earth, the erring race to guide,
And help, as could no other;
Rather Gather
Closer, fonder,
Sheep that wander,
Feed and fold them,
Than let evil powers hold them.
3 He tears, like other men, will shed,
Our sorrows share, and be our aid,
Through His eternal power;
The Lord's good will unto us show,
And mingle in our cup of woe
The drops of mercy's shower;
Dying, Buying,
Through His passion
Our salvation,
And to mortals
Opening the heavenly portals.
4 He comes, for our redemption sent,
And by His glory heaven is rent
To close upon us never;
Our blessed Shepherd He would be,
Whom we may follow faithfully
And be with Him forever;
Higher, Nigher,
Glory winging,
Praises singing
To the Father
And His Son, our Lord and Brother.
All hail to thee, O blessed morn!
Come, Thou Saviour of our race!
Hymnal: Sunday School Book #20 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas First Line: Come, Thou Saviour of our race Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Saviour of our race,
Choicest Gift of heavenly grace!
O Thou blessed Virgin's Son,
Be Thy race on earth begun.
2 Not of mortal blood or birth,
He descends from heaven to earth:
By the Holy Ghost conceived,
Truly man to be believed.
3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child!
Of the Virgin, undefiled!
Though by all the world disowned,
Still to be in heaven enthroned.
4 From the Father forth He came
And returneth to the same;
Captive leading death and hell,--
High the song of triumph swell!
5 Equal to the Father now,
Though to dust Thou once didst bow,
Boundless shall Thy kingdom be;
When shall we its glories see?
6 Brightly doth Thy manger shine!
Glorious in its light divine:
Let not sin o'ercloud this light,
Ever be our faith thus bright.
Come, Thou Saviour of our race!

Born that man no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth;
Born to give them second birth.

With Him enjoy eternal day.

Whose love did not the sinner scorn:
In my distress Thou com'st to me,
What thanks shall I return to Thee.
5 Were earth a thousand times as fair,
Beset with gold and jewels rare,
She yet were far too poor to be
A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee.
6 Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child,
Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.

Which angel voices tell,
How once the King of glory
Came down to earth to dwell.
I am both weak and sinful,
But this I surely know,
The Lord came down to save me,
Because He loved me so.
2 I'm glad my blessed Saviour
Was once a child like me,
To show how pure and holy
His little ones should be;
And if I try to follow
His footsteps here below
He never will forget me,
Because He loves me so.
3 To sing His love and mercy
My sweetest songs I'll raise;
And though I cannot see Him,
I know He hears my praise;
For He has kindly promised
That even I may go
To sing among His angels,
Because He loves me so.
I love to hear the story

Prepare the way, O Zion!
Hymnal: Sunday School Book #13 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Advent Lyrics: 1 Prepare the way, O Zion!
Ye awful deeps, rise high,
Sink low, ye towering mountains,
The Lord is drawing nigh:
The righteous King of glory,
Foretold in sacred story.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
2 O Zion, He approacheth,
Thy Lord and King for aye!
Palm-branches strew with gladness
Spread garments in His way.
God's promise faileth never,
Hosianna sound forever!
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
3 Fling wide thy portals, Zion,
And hail Thy glorious King;
His tidings of salvation
To every people bring,
Who, waiting yet in sadness
Would sing His praise with gladness.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
4 He cometh not with warriors,
And not with pomp and show;
Yet smiteth He with terror
Sin, death, and every foe.
The Spirit's sword He wieldeth,
Not e'en to death He yieldeth,
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name.
5 Give heed, thou sinful people,
Thy King and Saviour own:
The kingdom which He foundeth
Is not an earthly one;
No power can overthrow it,
Nor earthly wisdom know it.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
6 The throne which He ascendeth
Is fixed in heaven above:
His sanctified dominion
Is light alone and love.
With grace and peace abounding
His praise be ever sounding.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
7 Jerusalem is fallen,
And closed its temple-door;
Its sacrifices ended;
Its scepter is no more.
Christ's kingdom never ceaseth,
Its glory still increaseth.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
Prepare the way, O Zion!

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #14 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Advent Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers,

And soon He draweth nigh.
Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle,--
At midnight comes the cry.
2 The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near;
Go meet Him as He cometh,
With hallelujahs clear.
The marriage-feast is waiting,
The gates wide-open stand:
Up, up, ye heirs of glory.
The Bridegroom is at hand!
3 Ye saints, who here in patience
Your cross and sufferings bore,
Shall live and reign for ever,
When sorrow is no more.
Around the throne of glory
The Lamb ye shall behold,
In triumph cast before Him
Your diadems of gold!
4 Our Hope and Expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
Arise, Thou Sun so longed for,
O'er this benighted sphere!
With hearts and hands uplifted;
We plead, O Lord, to see
The day of earth's redemption,
That brings us unto Thee!
Rejoice, all ye believers
Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Hymnal: Sunday School Book #15 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Advent Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing;
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in His sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth;
And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth.
Before Him, on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.
4 For Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His Name shall stand forever;
That Name to us is Love.
Hail to the Lord's Anointed

My heart, its powers renewing,
An anthem shall prepare.
My souls puts off her sadness
Thy glories to proclaim;
With all her strength and gladness
She fain would serve Thy Name.
3 I lay in fetters groaning,
Thou com'st to set me free:
I stood, my shame bemoaning,
Thou com'st to honor me.
A glory Thou dost give me,
A treasure safe on high,
That will not fail nor leave me
As earthly riches fly.
4 Love caused Thine incarnation,
Love brought Thee down to me;
Thy thirst for my salvation
Procured my liberty.
Oh, love beyond all telling,
That led Thee to embrace,
In love all love excelling,
Our lost and fallen race!
5 Rejoice, then, ye sad-hearted,
Who sit in deepest gloom,
Who mourn o'er joys departed,
And tremble at your doom:
He, who alone can cheer you,
Is standing at the door;
He brings His pity near you,
And bids you weep no more.
Oh! how shall I receive Thee?

Where Thy light I do not see;

Swift to hear and slow to roam,
Watching for Thy glad returning,
To restore me to my home.
Come, my Saviour, Come, my Saviour,
Thou hast promised; quickly come.
O'er the distant mountains breaking

A quiet chamber kept for Thee.

A blest New Year of mercy sing. Languages: English Tune Title: VOM HIMMEL HOCH DA KOMM ICH HER

Hast come at last to make us blest!

In lowly manger liest Thou:
A Child, yet makest all things great;
Poor, yet the earth Thy robe of state.
4 Thus will I sing Thy praises here,
With joyful spirit year by year:
And in Thy courts of joy above
Forever will I sing Thy love.
