All honor, laud, and glory be, O Jesu, virgin-born, to Thee! All glory, as is ever meet, To Father and to Paraclete.

Enter, then, O Christ most holy; Make a Christmas in my heart; Make a heaven of my manger: It is heaven where Thou art.

He Whom the sea and wind obey Doth come to serve the sinner in great meekness. Thou, God’s own Son, with us art one, Dost join us and our children in our weakness. Thy light and grace our guilt efface, Thy heavenly riches all our loss retrieving. Immanuel, Thy birth doth quell The power of hell and Satan’s bold deceiving. Thou Christian heart, whoe’er thou art, Be of good cheer and let no sorrow move thee! For God’s own Child, in mercy mild, Joins thee to Him—how greatly God must love thee! Remember thou what glory now The Lord prepared thee for all earthly sadness. The angel host can never boast Of greater glory, greater bliss or gladness. The world may hold her wealth and gold; But thou, my heart, keep Christ as thy true Treasure. To Him hold fast until at last A crown be thine and honor in full measure.

  Ring out the bells for Christmas, The happy, happy day; In winter wild, the holy Child Within the cradle lay. O wonderful! the Savior Is in the manger lone; His palace is a stable, And Mary’s arms His throne. Refrain Ring out the bells for Christmas, The merry, merry Christmas, Ring out the bells for Christmas, The happy, happy day. On Beth’lem’s quiet hillside, In ages long gone by, In angel notes the glory floats, “Glory to God on high.” Yet wakes the sun as joyous As when the Lord was born, And still He comes to greet you On ev’ry Christmas morn. Refrain Where’er His sweet lambs gather, Within this gentle fold The Savior dear is waiting near, As in the days of old. In each young heart you see Him, In ev’ry guileless face, You see the holy Jesus, Who grew in truth and grace. Refrain In many a darksome cottage, In many a crowded street, In winter bleak, with shiv’ring cheek, The homeless child you meet. Gaze upon the pale, wan features, The feet with wand’ring sore. You see the souls He loveth, The Christ Child at the door. Refrain Then sing your gladsome carols, And hail the newborn Sun; For Christmas light is passing bright, It smiles on everyone; And feast Christ’s little children, His poor, his orphans call, For He Who chose the manger, He loveth one and all.

  Sleep! Holy Babe! upon Thy mother’s breast; Great Lord of earth and sea and sky, How sweet it is to see Thee lie In such a place of rest, In such a place of rest. Sleep! Holy Babe! Thine angels watch around, All bending low with folded wings, Before th’incarnate King of kings, In reverent awe profound. In reverent awe profound. Sleep! Holy Babe! while I with Mary gaze In joy upon that face awhile, Upon the loving infant smile Which there divinely plays. Which there divinely plays. Sleep!

• [Luk 2:7] Tale Of The Olden Time, A

  I’ll tell you a tale of the olden time, While the yule log burns bright, and the church bells chime. Gloria in excelsis Deo. There sate a fair princess in joy on her throne, And there in her arms her Infant was shown: Gloria in excelsis, Gloria in excelsis Gloria in excelsis Deo. The beasts of the meadows bowed down their head All under the moonlight so softly shed. Gloria in excelsis Deo. They worshipped the King of Creation there In the arms of the mother so passing fair. Gloria in excelsis, Gloria in excelsis Gloria in excelsis Deo. O who are these masters of ancient mould? O these are the shepherds, the lords of the fold; Gloria in excelsis Deo. They have heard from the sky of the birth of their King, They have heard all the sky with the harmony ring. Gloria in excelsis, Gloria in excelsis Gloria in excelsis Deo. The kings of the east in number three, All worship the Monarch of high degree; Gloria in excelsis Deo. Their tribute they offer, their heads they bow, And clearer and clearer is echoing now, Gloria in excelsis, Gloria in excelsis Gloria in excelsis Deo. For all the zenith is blazing with light, And musical voices enrapture the night: Gloria in excelsis Deo. O this is the carol of peace and goodwill From the voices celestial, the zenith that fill; Gloria in excelsis, Gloria in excelsis Gloria in excelsis Deo.

  There came a little Child to earth Long ago; And the angels of God proclaimed His birth, High and low. Out on the night, so calm and still, Their song was heard; For they knew that the Child on Bethlehem’s hill Was Christ the Lord. Far away in the goodly land Fair and bright; Children with crowns of glory stand, Robed in white. They sing, the Lord of Heaven so fair, A Child was born; And that they might His crown of glory share, Wore crown of thorn. In mortal weakness, want and pain, He came to die, That the children of earth might in glory reign With Him on high. And evermore in robes so fair And undefiled, Those ransomed children His praise declare, Who was a Child.

  ’Twas in the winter cold, when earth Was desolate and wild, That angels welcomed at His birth The everlasting Child. From realms of ever bright’ning day, And from His throne above He came with humankind to stay, All lowliness and love. Then in the manger the poor beast Was present with his Lord; Then swains and pilgrims from the East Saw, wondered, and adored. And I this morn would come with them This blessèd sight to see, And to the Babe of Bethlehem Bend low the reverent knee. But I have not, it makes me sigh, One offering in my power; ’Tis winter all with me, and I Have neither fruit nor flower.

  When Joseph went with Mary To David’s royal town, With travelling were they weary, Yet lodging not they found; They searched the city over, At every inn did call; “No room,” they heard, and time again, So stayed in oxen’s stall. No palace fit for royal birth, No purple robes disclose; The King of Glory, come from Heav’n, A lowly manger chose; Our Savior and Redeemer, In swaddling clothes entwined, The Babe whose life would be the price To rescue lost mankind. While shepherds flocks were watching, And sleeping in the field, Announcement of Immanuel’s birth Was suddenly revealed; A sun-bright shining angel, Said, “Fear not, I am here To bring glad tidings of great joy,” But shepherds shook with fear. “Shake off your fears and listen— Lo, you have cause to sing! Here in the town of David Tonight is born a King; For God so loved the world that He sent His only Son; Who places faith in Him alone Eternal life has won.” While shepherds wondered at the news Then glorious hosts appear, Proclaiming, “Glory, peace on earth, The Savior now is near; No longer be a stranger, He waits for you this night; Go see the Prince in manger straw In royal stable bright.” They hastened unto Bethlehem, With eagerness did go, They found the Child in swaddling clothes, Amazed that it was so; Like them, do not reject Him, Nor spurn that gracious call, From One who came to earth for us, The price to pay for all.

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.

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! While angels sing, with pious mirth, A glad New Year to all the earth.

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.

Then why should men on earth be sad, Since our Redeemer made us glad: Then why should we on earth be sad, Since our Redeemer made us glad: When from our sin He set us free, All for to gain our liberty. When sin departs before Your grace, Then life and health come in its place; When sin departs before Your grace, Then life and health come in its place; Angels and men with joy may sing, All for to see the newborn King. All out of darkness we have light Which made the angels sing this night; All out of darkness we have light Which made the angels sing this night: “Glory to God and peace to men, Now and forevermore. Amen.”

  On Judah’s plains as shepherds sat, Watching their flocks by night, The angel of the Lord appeared, Clad in celestial light. Awe struck the vision they regard, Appalled with trembling fear; When thus a cherub voice divine Breathed sweetly on their ear. “Shepherds of Judah! cease your fears, And calm your troubled mind; Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind. “This day almighty Love fulfills Its great eternal Word; This day is born in Bethlehem A Savior, Christ the Lord. “There shall you find the heavenly Babe In humblest weeds arrayed; All meanly wrapped in swaddling clothes And in a manger laid.” He ceased, and sudden all around Appeared a radiant throng Of angels, praising God, and thus Warbling their choral song. “Glory to God, from Whom on high All gracious mercies flow! Who sends His Heav’n descended Peace To dwell with man below.”

  Royal day that chasest gloom! Day by gladness speeded! Thou beheld’st from Mary’s womb How the King proceeded; Whom, true Man, with praise our choir Hails, and love, and heart’s desire, Joy and admiration; Who, true God, enthroned in light, Passeth wonder, passeth sight, Passeth cogitation. On the virgin as He hung, God, the world’s Creator, Like a rose from lily sprung— Stood astounded nature: That a maiden’s arms enfold Him that make the world of old, Him that ever liveth: That a maiden’s spotless breast To the King eternal rest, Warmth and nurture, giveth! As the sunbeam through the glass Passeth, but not staineth, Thus the virgin, as she was, Virgin still remaineth: Blessèd mother, in whose womb Lay the light that exiles gloom, God, the Lord of ages; Blessèd maid! from whom the Lord, Her own Infant, God adored, Hunger’s pains assuages.

Nor royal shining things; A manger for His cradle stands, And holds the King of kings. “Go, shepherds, where the Infant lies, And see His humble throne With tears of joy in all your eyes, Go, shepherds, kiss the Son.” Thus Gabriel sang, and straight around The heav’nly armies throng; They tune their harps to lofty sound, And thus conclude the song: “Glory to God that reigns above! Let peace surround the earth! Mortals shall know their Maker’s love, At their Redeemer’s birth.” Lord, and shall angels have their songs, And men no tunes to raise? O may we lose our useless tongues When they forget to praise. Glory to God that reigns above, That pitied us forlorn; We join to sing our Maker’s love, For there’s a Savior born.

For it dawns, the promised morrow Of His birth, who the earth rescues from her sorrow. God to wear our form descendeth; Of His grace to our race here His Son He sendeth. Yea, so truly for us careth, That His Son, all we’ve done, as our offering beareth; As our Lamb Who, dying for us, Bears our load, and to God, doeth in peace restore us. Hark! a voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, doth entreat, “Flee from woe and danger; Brethren, come; from all that grieves you You are freed; all you need I will surely give you.” Come, then, let us hasten yonder; Here let all, great and small, kneel in awe and wonder, Love Him Who with love is yearning; Hail the star that from far bright with hope is burning. Ye who pine in weary sadness, Weep no more, for the door now is found of gladness. Cling to Him, for He will guide you Where no cross, pain or loss, can again betide you. Hither come, ye poor and wretched: Know His will is to fill every hand outstretchèd; Here are riches without measure, Here forget all regret, fill your hearts with treasure. Blessèd Savior, let me find Thee! Keep Thou me close to Thee, cast me not behind Thee! Life of life, my heart Thou stillest, Calm I rest on Thy breast, all this void Thou fillest. Thee, dear Lord, with heed I’ll cherish; Live to Thee and with Thee, dying, shall not perish; But shall dwell with Thee for ever, Far on high, in the joy that can alter never. 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. 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. 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 sufferers here, left His throne above us? If our blessèd 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? 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.

The Son of God, th’eternal King, That did us all salvation bring, And freed the soul from danger; He Whom the whole world could not take, The Word, which Heaven and earth did make, Was now laid in a manger. The Father’s wisdom willed it so, The Son’s obedience knew no “No,” Both wills were in one stature; And as that wisdom had decreed, The Word was now made Flesh indeed, And took on Him our nature.

A little Child is born tonight, O come ye, one and all, And hail in faith, and hope, and love, The Child Who left his throne above, To lie in yonder stall, To lie in yonder stall.

• [Luk 2:11] Make Thee Ready, As Best Thou Art Able

  Make thee ready, as best thou art able, Little Bethlehem, garnish the bed, Tho’ it be but a crib in a stable, Where the Infant may pillow His head, Where the Infant may pillow His head. Type and shadow of yore are now ended; Lo, the substance is come, as I ken; Truth Incarnate to earth is descended, God hath pitchèd His tent among men. God hath pitchèd His tent among men. He is past through the virginal portal; The Invisible doth not decline To be found in the fashion of mortal, For to make human nature divine, For to make human nature divine. Wherefore Adam and Eva, forgiven Their iniquity cry, “By the grace And goodwill of our Lord are we shriven; Seen of men, He doth ransom our race; Seen of men, He doth ransom our race.”

• [Luk 2:11] On The Birthday Of The Lord

  On the birthday of the Lord Angels joy in glad accord, And they sing in sweetest tone, Glory be to God alone, Glory be to God alone. Refrain God is born of maiden fair, Mary doth the Savior bear; Mary ever pure, Mary ever pure. These good news an angel told To the shepherds by their fold, Told them of the Savior’s birth, Told them of the joy for earth, Told them of the joy for earth. Refrain Born is now Emmanuel, He, announced by Gabriel, He, whom prophets old attest, Cometh from His Father’s breast, Cometh from His Father’s breast.

• [Luk 2:11] Praise God The Lord, Ye Sons Of Men

  Praise God the Lord, ye sons of men, Before His highest throne; Today He opens Heav’n again And gives us His own Son. He leaves His heav’nly Father’s throne Is born an Infant small, And in a manger, poor and lone, Lies in a humble stall. He veils in flesh His power divine A servant’s form to take; In want and lowliness must pine Who Heav’n and earth did make. He nestles at His mother’s breast, Receives her tender care, Whom angels hail with joy most blest, King David’s royal Heir. ’Tis He who in these latter days From Judah’s tribe should come, By Whom the Father would upraise The Church, His Christendom. A wondrous change which He does make! He takes our flesh and blood, And He conceals for sinners’ sake His majesty of God. He serves that I a lord may be; A great exchange indeed! Could Jesus’ love do more for me To help me in my need? He opens us again the door Of paradise today; The angel guards the gate no more To God our thanks we pay.

• [Luk 2:11] This Blessed Night

  This blessed night we seek Your throne In awe and wonder at that birth: The Child of Bethlehem who brought God’s grace and love back down to earth. Joseph and Mary, chosen ones, As parents to Your only Son, In faith they trudg’d those weary miles In order that Your will be done. Then shepherds, high in fields above The manger in a lowly shed, Heard angel messengers sing out Their “Peace on Earth, good will to men.” Wrapped round in cloths they found the Babe Lying at rest upon the hay. It was for us this Child was born And brought to us God’s bright new day. Eternal hope for all mankind! The price of sin You chose to pay! O Babe of Heaven, we sing Your praise And at Your feet our hearts we lay! O grant us now, dear Lord, we pray, That we might serve You as we ought. Teach us to yield our wills to Yours And live in peace as we’ve been taught.
