Blest News! To Us A Child Is Born

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Blest news! To us a child is born, To us a son is given; Emmanuel He, the God with us, The choicest gift of Heaven. 2 With transport view this wondrous Child, Of purest virgin born; In your best songs the titles sing Which His great name adorn. 3 The brightest rays of heavenly truth From Him reflected shine; The Father’s wisdom dwells in Him, Our counselor divine. 4 To universal empire born, The charge He well sustains; Nations rejoice, the mighty Lord, Your king Messiah reigns. 5 With growing honors He shall sit On David’s ancient throne; There shall He ever reign, and thence Shall make His justice known. 6 Lord of the future glorious age By Heaven’s unchanged decree; Gentiles and Jews shall own His sway, And angels bow the knee. 7 Blest news! to us a child is born; The Prince of Peace is given; He brings down heavenly peace to earth, And makes our peace with Heaven.

To Know God's Mind and Do His Will

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 To know God's mind and do his will disciples sought his face; with Judas gone, they now must fill the twelfth and vacant place. 2 They looked for one prepared to lead and witness by his word: "Though Jesus died, he lives indeed, for I have seen the Lord." 3 One who has followed in the way since John at first baptized, and walked with them until the day they saw the sacending Christ. 4 Matthias then was set apart, apostle of good news; and God, who knows the human heart, still calls those he will use. 5 Lord, make your battle-line complete: make known your sovereign choice, that we may serve with willing feet and Christ-uplifting voice.

O Happy Place That Heard The Voice

Author: James D. Burns, 1823-1864 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O happy place that heard the voice Of angels singing sweet; That saw the star which sages led To the Redeemer’s feet. 2 That held the lowly dwelling where The heav’nly Child was born, And saw the shepherds worship there Upon that wondrous morn! 3 Oh may my heart, Lord, through Thy grace, A little Bethlehem be Though it should know no other guest, May there be room for Thee! 4 Its door would open to Thy knock— Come in, Thou blessèd One! Abide with me, and dwell in me, And make me Thine alone. 5 I have no gold, nor frankincense, Nor fragrant myrrh to bring ; My love is all I have to give, Accept the offering!
