The Nativity of Christ
Appears in 123 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:10-19 First Line: Behold, the Grace appears Lyrics: 1 Behold, the Grace appears!
The Promise is fulfill'd;
Mary, the Wond'rous Virgin, bears,
And Jesus is the Child.
[2 The Lord, the Highest God,
Calls him his only Son;
He bids him rule the Lands abroad,
And gives him David's throne.
3 O'er Jacob shall he reign
With a peculiar Sway;
The Nations shall his Grace obtain,
His Kingdom ne'er decay.]

A heav'nly Form appears;
He tells the Shepherds of their joys,
And banishes their Fears.

To David's city fly;
The Promis'd Infant born To Day
Doth in a Manger lie.

Go visit Christ your King;
And strait a flaming Troop was seen:
The Shepherds heard them sing:

And heav'nly Peace on Earth;
Good Will to Men, to Angels joy,
At the Redeemer's Birth.

Let Saints employ their Tongues;
With the Celestial Host we Join,
And loud repeat their Songs.

And heav'nly Peace on Earth;
Good Will to Men, to Angels Joy,
At our Redeemer's Birth.] Topics: Nativity of Christ

Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
Author: Friedrich L. C. Layriz, 1808-59; Theodore Baker, 1851-1934; Harriet R. K. Spaeth, 1845-1925; John C. Mattes, 1876-1948 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Appears in 102 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:1-18 Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As prophets long have sung,
It came, a flow'ret bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half-spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
The rose I have in mind;
With Mary we behold it,
The virgin mother kind.
To show God's love aright,
She bore to us a Savior,
When half-spent was the night.
3 This flow'r, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor
The darkness ev'rywhere.
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death he saves us
And lightens ev'ry load.
4 O Savior, child of Mary,
Who felt our human woe;
O Savior, King of glory,
Who dost our weakness know:
Bring us at length we pray
To the bright courts of heaven,
And to the endless day. Used With Tune: ES IST EIN ROS (Rhythmic) Text Sources: German, 16th cent. (sts. 1-2, 4)

On This Day Earth Shall Ring
Author: Jane Marion Joseph Meter: 6.6.6.6.6 with refrain Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2 Refrain First Line: Ideo-o-o Lyrics: 1 On this day earth shall ring
With the song children sing
To the Lord, Christ our King,
Born on earth to save us;
Him the Father gave us.
Refrain:
Ideo-o-o, Ideo-o-o, Ideo gloria in excelsis Deo!
2 His the doom, ours the mirth;
When He came down to earth
Bethlehem saw His birth;
Ox and ass beside Him
From the cold would hide Him.
3 God's bright star, o'er His head,
Wise men three to Him led,
Kneeling low by His bed,
Lay their gifts before Him,
Praise Him and adore Him.
4 On this day angels sing;
With their song earth shall ring,
Praising Christ, heaven's King,
Born on earth to save us;
Peace and love He gave us.

Luke 2:8-15: While humble shepherds watched their flocks
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:8-15 First Line: While humble shepherds watched their flocks Lyrics:
While humble shepherds watched their flocks
in Bethleh’m’s plains by night,
An angel sent from heav’n appeared,
and filled the plains with light.
Fear not, he said, (for sudden dread
had seized their troubled mind;)
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you, and all mankind.
To you, in David’s town, this day
is born, of David’s line,
The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:
The heav’nly Babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
All meanly wrapt in swaddling-bands,
and in a manger laid.
138
Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith
appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God; and thus
addressed their joyful song:
All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
Good-will is shown by Heav’n to men,
and never more shall cease.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie, 1829-85 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:8-15 Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For with blessing in His hand
Christ our God to earth descending
Comes our homage to demand.
2 King of kings yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth He stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
In the body and the blood,
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heav'nly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way
As the Light of Light descending
From the realms of endless day,
Comes the pow'rs of hell to vanquish
As the darkness clears away.
4 At His feet the six-winged seraph,
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the presence
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
"Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, Lord Most High!"

On Christmas Night All Christians Sing
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 49 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:10-20 Lyrics: 1 On Christmas night all Christians sing
To hear the news the angels bring,
On Christmas night all Christians sing
To hear the news the angels bring,
News of great joy, news of great mirth,
News of our merciful King's birth.
2 Then why should men on earth be so sad,
Since our Redeemer made us glad,
Then why should men on earth be so sad,
Since our Redeemer made us glad,
When from our sin He set us free,
All for to gain our liberty?
3 When sin departs before His grace,
Then life and health come in its place,
When sin departs before His grace,
Then life and health come in its place;
Angels and men with joy may sing,
All for to see the newborn King.
4 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."
