  Hark, the glad sound! the Savior comes, The Savior promised long; Let every heart prepare a throne, And every voice a song. On Him the Spirit, largely poured, Exerts His sacred fire; Wisdom and might, and zeal and love, His holy breast inspire. He comes the prisoners to release, In Satan’s bondage held; The gates of brass before Him burst, The iron fetters yield. He comes, from thickest films of vice To clear the mental ray, And on the eyes oppressed with night To pour celestial day. He comes the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure; And with the treasures of His grace To enrich the humble poor. His silver trumpets publish loud The jub’lee of the Lord Our debts are all remitted now Our heritage restored. Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim; And Heav’n’s eternal arches ring With Thy belovèd Name.

• [Luk 2:10] As On The Night Before

  As on the night before this happy morn, A blessèd angel unto shepherds told, Where in a stable He was poorly born, Whom nor the earth nor Heav’n of Heav’ns can hold. Thro’ Bethl’em rang this news at their return; Yea, angels sang that God with us was born; And they made mirth because we should not mourn, And they made mirth because we should not mourn. Their angel carols sing we then; To God on high all glory be, For peace on earth bestoweth He, And showeth favor unto men. This favor Christ vouchsafèd for our sake; To buy us thrones, He in a manger lay; Our weakness took, that we His strength might take, And was disrobed, that He might us array; Our flesh He wore, our sins to wear away; Our curse He bore, that we escape it may; And wept for us that we might sing for aye; And wept for us that we might sing for aye; With angels, therefore, sing again; To God on high all glory be, For peace on earth bestoweth He, And showeth favor unto men.

  From church to church the bells’ glad tidings run: A virgin hath conceived, and borne a Son In Bethlehem. And angel hosts, the midnight of His birth, Sang “Glory be to God, and peace on earth,” In Bethlehem. “Now go we forth, and see this wondrous thing,” The shepherds said, “and seek the newborn King In Bethlehem.” Then Herod sought the royal Son to slay, Who rather should have to come to kneel and pray In Bethlehem. The star went leading on from east to west: The wise men followed, till they saw it rest In Bethlehem. Their frankincense and myrrh, and gold they bring, To hail the God, the Mortal, and the King In Bethlehem. With threefold gifts the Threefold God three praise, Who thus vouchsafed the sons of man raise, In Bethlehem.

• [Luk 2:10] From Heaven Above To Earth I Come

  From Heaven above to earth I come, To bear good news to every home; Glad tidings of great joy I bring, Whereof I now will say and sing. To you, this night, is born a Child Of Mary, chosen mother mild; This little Child, of lowly birth, Shall be the joy of all your earth. ’Tis Christ our God, who far on high Had heard your sad and bitter cry; Himself will your Salvation be, Himself from sin will make you free. He brings those blessings, long ago Prepared by God for all below; Henceforth His kingdom open stands To you, as to the angel bands. These are the tokens ye shall mark, The swaddling clothes and manger dark; There shall ye find the young Child laid, By whom the heavens and earth were made. Now let us all, with gladsome cheer Follow the shepherds, and draw near To see this wondrous gift of God, Who hath His only Son bestowed. Give heed, my heart, lift up thine eyes! Who is it in yon manger lies? Who is this Child so young and fair? The blessèd Christ-child lieth there. Welcome to earth, Thou noble Guest, Through Whom e’en wicked men are blest! Thou com’st to share our misery, What can we render, Lord, to Thee! Ah, Lord, who hast created all, How hast Thou made Thee weak and small, That Thou must choose Thy infant bed Where ass and ox but lately fed! 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. For velvets soft and silken stuff Thou hast but hay and straw so rough, Whereon Thou King, so rich and great, As ’twere Thy heaven, art throned in state. Thus hath it pleased Thee to make plain The truth to us poor fools and vain, That this world’s honor, wealth and might Are naught and worthless in Thy sight. Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child, Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled, Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee. My heart for very joy doth leap, My lips no more can silence keep, I too must sing, with joyful tongue, That sweetest ancient cradle-song— Glory to God in highest Heaven, Who unto man His Son hath given!

• [Luk 2:10] From Highest Heaven, On Joyous Wing

  From highest Heaven, on joyous wing, I come to you good news to bring; Good news I bring, a plenteous store, Whereof my song shall tell you more. For unto you, this happy morn, Of virgin meek and pure, is born A holy Child, a gentle Boy, To be your bliss and chiefest joy. It is the Christ, our God indeed, The very help poor sinners need; He will Himself your Savior be, From sin and sorrow set you free. To you the blessedness He bears, Which God the Father’s love prepares, That in His heavenly kingdom blest, You may with us for ever rest. So mark ye well the signs I show, The swaddling bands, the manger low; There shall ye find the young Child laid, By whom the universe was made. Then let us all right merry be, And with the shepherds go and see The gift which God to us hath given, His own dear Son sent down from Heaven. Mark thou, my heart, look well mine eyes, What yonder in the manger lies! What Child is that so wondrous fair? The little Jesus lieth there. Welcome, thrice welcome, noble Guest! The sinner’s friend, the mourner’s rest; For coming thus to grief and me, How can I thank Thee worthily? Ah! mighty Lord, who madest all, How couldst Thou make Thyself so small, To lie upon the coarse dry grass, The food of humble ox and ass? And were the world ten times as wide, With gold and jewels beautified, It would be far too small to be A little cradle, Lord, for Thee? Thy silk and velvet are coarse hay, Thy swaddling bands the mean array, With which e’en Thou, a King so great, Art clad as with a robe of state. And thus, perhaps, it pleaseth Thee To make this truth quite plain to me, That worldly honor, wealth, and might Are mean and worthless in Thy sight. Ah! Jesus, lay Thy gentle head, And make Thyself a clean, soft bed Here in the corner of my heart, That I and Thou may never part. So will I ever joyful be, And sing and dance right merrily, As mothers sing, the cradle nigh, Their sweetest, softest lullaby. Now praise we God on His high throne, Who giveth us His only Son! Such the good news the angels bring, Such the new year of which they sing.

  God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day; To save us all from Satan’s power when we were gone astray. Refrain O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy; O tidings of comfort and joy. In Bethlehem, in Israel, this blessèd Babe was born, And laid within a manger upon this blessèd morn; The which His mother Mary did nothing take in scorn. Refrain From God our heavenly Father a blessèd angel came; And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same; How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name. Refrain “Fear not, then,” said the angel, “Let nothing you afright This day is born a Savior of a pure Virgin bright, To free all those who trust in Him from Satan’s power and might.” Refrain The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm and wind, And went to Bethl’em straightaway this blessèd Babe to find. Refrain But when to Bethlehem they came where our dear Savior lay, They found Him in a manger where oxen feed on hay; His mother Mary kneeling unto the Lord did pray. Refrain Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace; This holy tide of Christmas all others doth deface. Refrain God bless the ruler of this house, and send him long to reign, And many a merry Christmas may live to see again; Among your friends and kindred that live both far and near— That God send you a happy new year, happy new year, And God send you a happy new year.

  Hark! hark!—the notes of joy Roll o’er the heavenly plains, And seraphs find employ For their sublimest strains; Some new delight in heaven is known, Loud sound the harps around the throne. Hark! hark!—the sounds draw nigh, The joyful hosts descend; Jesus forsakes the sky, To earth His footsteps bend; He comes to bless our fallen race; He comes with messages of grace.
