Calls Him His only Son;
He bids Him rule the lands abroad,
And gives Him David’s throne.O’er Jacob shall He reign

A heav’nly form appears;
He tells the shepherds of their joys,
And banishes their fears.“Go, humble swains,” said he,
“To David’s city fly;
The promised Infant born today
Doth in a manger lie.”“With looks and hearts serene,
Go visit Christ your King;
And straight a flaming troop was seen:
The shepherds heard them sing:“Glory to God on high!
And heav’nly peace on earth;
Goodwill to men, to angels joy,
At the Redeemer’s birth!”In worship so divine,

That liberating flesh by flesh,
Whom He had made might live afresh.In that chaste parent’s holy womb,
Celestial grace hath found its home:
And she, as earthly bride unknown,
Yet call that Offspring blest her own.The mansion of the modest breast
Becomes a shrine where God shall rest:
The pure and undefiled one
Conceived in her womb the Son.That Son, that royal Son she bore,
Whom Gabriel’s voice had told afore:
Whom, in his Mother yet concealed,
The Infant Baptist had revealed.The manger and the straw He bore,
The cradle did He not abhor:
A little milk His infant fare
Who feedeth even each fowl of air.The heavenly chorus filled the sky,
The angels sang to God on high,
What time to shepherds watching lone
They made creation’s Shepherd known.All honor, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, virgin born, to Thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,

Patiently through toil and pain;
May our quiet home life be
Lived, O Lord, in Thee, to Thee.Thou Who didst go forth in sorrow,

In the hard and narrow manger!

In Thy heart, secure from danger,
When my weary head is hid
Underneath the coffin lid.Is it still the devil’s lust

Our song of glad unceasing praise.

Lead us all to seek the King of kings tonight;

A thousand years have come and gone, and near a thousand more,
Since happier light from Heaven shone than ever shone before:
And in the hearts of old and young a joy most joyful stirred.
That sent such news from tongue to tongue as ears had never heard.Then angels on their starry way felt bliss unfelt before,
For news that men should be as they to darkened earth they bore;
So toiling men and spirits bright a first communion had,
And in meek mercy’s rising light were each exceeding glad.And we are glad, and we will sing, as in the days of yore;
Come all, and hearts made ready bring, to welcome back once more
The day when first on wintry earth a summer change began,
And, dawning in a lowly birth uprose the Light of man.For trouble such as men must bear from childhood to fourscore,
He shared with us, that we might share His joy forevermore;
And twice a thousand years of grief of conflict, and of sin,
May tell how large the harvest sheaf His patient love shall win.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

’Tis Jesus Christ, your Lord and King,
Who doth to all salvation bring.Oh, then rejoice that through His Son
God is with sinners now at one;
Made like yourselves of flesh and blood,
Your Brother is the eternal God.What harm can sin and death then do?
The true God now abides with you.
Let hell and Satan rage and chafe,
Christ is your Brother—ye are safe.Not one He will or can forsake
Who Him his confidence doth make.

You may his utmost powers defy.Ye shall and must at last prevail;

[Isa 9:6] O Wonderful Savior
I have heard a most wonderful story
Of Jesus, the Savior and King;
How He came from the bright realms of glory
Glad news of salvation to bring.Refrain
O wonderful, wonderful Savior,
Thy praises with joy we will sing:
For coming on earth to redeem us
We crown Thee forever our King!With the poor and the lowly He mingled—
Yes, even the vilest of men,
Showing mercy and love as they lingered,
To hear His blest words unto them.Refrain
A poor woman was brought to Him helpless,
To be stoned for her sins in the past;
He replied to them, “He that is sinless,
By him let the first stone be cast.”Refrain
See Him weep at a grave in the hour
When tears of anguish are shed;
See Him bursting the tomb by His power,
Saying, “Lazarus, come forth from the dead!”Refrain
Yes, He came to give life to the dying,
To heal all the broken in heart;
And He promised a home where’s no sighing,
And loved ones shall ne’er again part.Refrain

[Isa 9:6] Rejoice Today
Rejoice today with glad accord,
For Christ, the Lord, is come:
Fulfillèd the prophetic word,
In David’s Bethlehem.
For unto us a Child is born;
To us a Son is given;
To raise our fallen nature up,
And make us heirs of Heav’n.Behold Him in a manger laid:
A helpless little One;
For Whom Judea’s mothers prayed;
The long expected Son.
No earthly pomp surrounds His bed,
His home no pillared hall:
They had not where to lay His head,
Save in the cattle stall.The King of Heav’n— the Prince of Life,
Assumes a mortal frame;
He comes to enter into strife,
To weave immortal fame.
His weapons truth and righteousness;
The cause the good of all,
The helpless sons of Adam’s race,
The ruined by the fall.Hail, glorious Prince! Hail, blessèd Son!
On this Thy natal day
Let love and peace untrammeled run,
O’er all the earth hold sway,
Till human passion, sin, and wrongs,
Are numbered with the past,
And earth with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall praise Thee “First and Last.”Play source: Cyberhymnal -

At Bethl’em in his fury.Now may Mary’s Son, who came

Lord, to Thee alone we turn,
To Thy cross for safety fly;
There, as penitents, to learn
How to live and how to die.
Sinful on our knees we fall;
Hear us, as for help we plead;
Hear us when on Thee we call;
Aid us in our time of need.In the midst of sin and strife,
In the depths of mortal woe,
Teach us, Lord, to live a life
Meet for sojourners below.
Though the road be oft times dark,
Though the feet in weakness stray,
Lead us, Savior as the ark
Led Thy chosen on their way.Weak and weary and alone
When the vale of death we tread,
Then be all Thy mercy shown,
Then be all Thy love displayed;
Guard us in that darksome hour,
Lead us to the land of rest,
Where, secure from Satan’s power,
We may lie upon Thy breast.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Kindled by a spark of grace!
Jesus’ love the nations fires,
Sets the kingdoms on a blaze:
To bring fire on earth He came;
Kindled in some hearts it is:
O that all might catch the flame,
All partake the glorious bliss!When He first the work begun,
Small and feeble was His day:
Now the word doth swiftly run;
Now it wins its widening way:
More and more it spread and grows,
Ever mighty to prevail;
Sin’s strongholds it now o’erthrows,
Shakes the trembling gates of hell.Sons of God, your Savior praise!
He the door hath opened wide!
He hath given the word of grace,
Jesus’ word is glorified;
Jesus, mighty to redeem,
He alone the work hath wrought;
Worthy is the work of Him,
Him Who spake a world from naught.Saw ye not the cloud arise,
Little as a human hand?

Hangs o’er all the thirsty land:

Drops already from above;
