To the Name of Our Salvation

Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Lyrics: 1 To the Name of our salvation laud and honour let us pay, which for many a generation hid in God's foreknowledge lay; but with holy exultation we may sing aloud today. 2 Jesus is the name we treasure, name beyond what words can tell; name of gladness, name of pleasure, ear and heart delighting well; name of sweetness passing measure, saving us from sin and hell. 3 'Tis the name that whoso preaches speaks like music to the ear; who in prayer this name beseeches finds its comfort ever near; who its perfect wisdom reaches, heavenly joy possesses here. 4 Jesus is the name exalted over every other name; in this name, whene'er assaulted, we can put our foes to shame: strength to them who else had halted, eyes to blind and feet to lame. 5 Therefore we in love adoring, this most blessed name revere, holy Jesus, thee imploring so to write it in us here that, hereafter heavenward soaring, we may sing with angels there.

Hark! hark!--the notes of joy

Author: Anon. Appears in 95 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2 Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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. 3 Bear, bear the tidings round; Let every mortal know What love in God is found, What pity he can show: Ye winds that blow! ye waves that roll! Bear the glad news from pole to pole. 4 Strike, strike the harps again, To great Immanuel's name; Arise, ye sons of men! And all his grace proclaim: Angels and men! wake every string, 'Tis God the Saviour's praise we sing. Topics: Christ Incarnation; The Glad Tidings

Who is this so weak and helpless

Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:7 Lyrics: 1 Who is this so weak and helpless, child of lowly Hebrew maid, rudely in a stable sheltered, coldly in a manger laid? 'Tis the Lord of all creation, who this wondrous path hath trod; he is God from everlasting, and to everlasting God. 2 Who is this - a Man of Sorrows, walking sadly life's hard way; homeless, weary, sighing, weeping over sin and Satan's sway? 'Tis our God, our glorious Saviour, who beyond our mortal sight now for us a place prepareth free from grief and full of light. 3 Who is this - behold him raining drops of blood upon the ground? Who is this - despised, rejected, mocked, insulted, beaten, bound? 'Tis our God, who gifts and graces on his Church now poureth down; all his faithful ones empowering to partake in cross and crown. 4 Who is this that hangeth dying, while the thieves on either side? Nails his hands and feet are tearing, and the spear hath pierced his side. 'Tis the God who ever liveth 'mid the shining ones on high, in the glorious golden city, reigning everlastingly.
