"Glory be to God on high;"
Lord, unloose my stamm'ring tongue,
Who shall louder sing than I?

The Incarnation
Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXXXI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Incarnation of Christ First Line: Awake, awake the sacred song Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake the sacred song
To our incarnate Lord;
Let every heart, and every tongue
Adore the eternal word.
2 That awful word, that sovereign power,
By whom the worlds were made;
(O happy marn! illustrious hour!)
Was once in flesh array'd!
3 Then shone almighty power and love
In all their glorious forms;
When Jesus left his throne above
To dwell with sinful worms.
4 To dwell with misery below,
The Saviour left the skies;
And sunk to wretchedness and woe,
That worthless man might rise.
5 Adoring angels tun'd their songs
To hail the joyful day;
With rapture then, let mortal tongues
Their grateful worship pay.
6 What glory, Lord, to thee is due!
With wonder we adore;
But could we sing as angels do,
Our highest praise were poor.

And chaunt the solemn lay;
Joy, love and gratitude combine
To hail th' auspicious day.
2 In heaven the rapturous song began,
And sweet seraphic fire
Thro' all the shining legions ran,
And strung and tun'd the lyre.
3 Swift thro' the vast expanse it flew,
And loud the echo roll'd;
The theme, the song, the joy, was new,
'Twas more than heaven could hold,
4 Down thro' the portals of the sky
Th' impetuous torrent ran;
And angels flew with eager joy
To bear the news to man.
5 [Wrapt in the silence of the night
Lay all the eastern world,
When bursting, glorious, heavenly light
The wond'rous scene unfurl'd.]
6 Hark! the cherubic armies shout:
And glory leads the song:
Good-will and peace are heard throughout
Th' harmonious heavenly throng.
7 [O for a glance of heavenly love
Our hearts and songs to raise;
Sweetly to bear our souls above
And mingle with their lays!]
8 With joy the chorus we'll repeat
"Glory to God on high:
"Good-will and peace are now complete,
"Jesus was born to die."
9 Hail, prince of life, for ever hail!
Redeemer, brother, friend!
Tho' earth, and time, and life should fail,
Thy praise shall never end. Scripture: Luke 2:14 Languages: English

Thus saith the Lord, "Your work is vain
Give your burnt-offerings o'er;
In dying goats, and bullocks slain,
My soul delights no more."
Then spake the Savior, "Lo, I'm here,
My God, to do thy will;
Whate'er thy sacred books declare,
Thy servant shall fulfil.
"Thy law is ever in my sight,
I keep it near my heart;
Mine ears are opened with delight
To what thy lips impart."
And see, the blest Redeemer comes,
Th' eternal Son appears,
And at th' appointed time assumes
The body God prepares.
Much he revealed his Father's grace,
And much his truth he showed,
And preached the way of righteousness
Where great assemblies stood.
His Father's honor touched his heart,
He pitied sinners' cries,
And, to fulfil a Savior's part,
Was made a sacrifice.
No blood of beasts on altars shed
Could wash the conscience clean;
But the rich sacrifice he paid
Atones for all our sin.
Then was the great salvation spread,
And Satan's kingdom shook;
Thus by the woman's promised seed
The serpent's head was broke.

How shall I meet my Saviour?
Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #3 (1732) Topics: Incarnation of Christ Lyrics: I. How shall I meet my Saviour?
How shall I welcome Thee?
What Manner of Behaviour
Is now requir'd of me?
Let thine Illumination
Set Heart and Hands aright,
That this my Preparation
Be pleasing in thy Sight.
II. Whilst with the gayest Flowers
Thy Sion strews the way,
I'll raise with all my Powers
To Thee, a grateful Lay:
To Thee the King of Glory
I'll tune a Song Divine;
And make thy Love's bright Story
In graceful Numbers shine.
III. What hast thou not performed,
Lord, to retrieve my Loss,
While I was so deformed
By Sin and Hellish Dross?
The Sense of lost Salvation
Quite drove me to Despair,
But thy own Incarnation
Brought my Redemption near.
IV. I lay in Fetters groaning,
Thou cam'st to set me free.
My Shame I was bemoaning;
With Grace thou cloathedst me.
Thou raisest me to Glory;
Endow'st me with thy Bliss,
Which is not transitory,
As worldly Treasure is.
V. What caus'd thy Incarnation?
What brought Thee down to me?
Thy Love to my Salvation
Contriv'd my Liberty.
O Love, beyond Expression!
Wherewith thou dost embrace
Mankind in its Digression
From Thee, the Source of Grace.
VI. Let this Consideration
Heal up your wounds within,
Ye Sons of Desolation,
That feel the Smart of Sin.
Take Courage, your Salvation
Stands waiting at the door;
The Gospel Consolation
Is nearer than before.
VII. 'Tis none of your Endeavour,
Nor any Mortal Care
Cou'd draw his Sav'reign Favour
To Sinners in Despair;
Uncall'd he comes with Gladness
To save you from the Fall,
And cure all Grief and Sadness
You're still opprest withal.
VIII. Be not cast down nor frighted
At Sin, tho' ne'er so great;
No! Jesus is delighted
The Greatest to remit.
He comes repenting Sinners
With Life and Love to crown;
And make them happy Winners
Of Glory like his own.
IX. Then fear not ye the Clamour
Of Satan and his Clan;
The Word, his pow'rful Hammer,
Destroys their wicked Plan.
He comes as King of Glory,
Whose Nod confounds their Host;
He carries all before ye,
And baffles all their Boast.
X. He comes to pass his Sentence
On all his Enemies.
But Children of Repentance
Shall meet with Love and Peace.
Come, Prince of Grace and Wonder!
Fetch thy Beloved Home;
Reveal thy Glories yonder;
Thy longing Spouse says, Come!

To do in spirit lowly
All that may please Thee best.

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.
O love beyond all telling,
That led Thee to embrace,
In love all love excelling,
Our lost and fallen race!

Who sit in deepest gloom,
Who mourn o'er joys departed,
And tremble at your doom;

Is standing at the door;
He brings His pity near you,
And bids you weep no more.

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 And through all his wondrous childhood
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms he lay.
Christian children all should be
Kind, obedient, good as he.
4 For he 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 feels for all our sadness,
And he shares in all our gladness.
5 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 has gone. Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY
