Come, let us sing with joyful mirth

Hymnal: HEC #58 (1913) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: Come, let us sing with joyful mirth The mystery of Immanuel's birth, Who, virgin born, is here; The middle wall no longer stands, No flaming sword in cherub's hands Inspires the soul with fear. See, clear the pathway open lies That upward leads to Paradise, Where stands the Tree of Life; And freely may I enter in, Whence I was driven by mortal sin, And worsted in the strife. 59 For He, the Father's only Son, A glorious work hath now begun, Descending from above In servant's form, though yet the Son, Unchanging while the ages run, To win us by His love. Come, now, let hearts united be To laud His praises joyfully, The God-Man born to-day. And let Thy mercy reach us now, For pitiful and kind art Thou, O Virgin born, we pray. Languages: English

Zion is glad this glorious morn:

Hymnal: HEC #60 (1913) Meter: 8.8 Lyrics: Zion is glad this glorious morn: A Babe in Bethlehem is born. See where He lies in manger low, Whose kingly reign no end shall know. The ox and ass that filled the stall, Knew that the Babe was Lord of all. Out from the east the sages bring Their treasures for an offering. They humbly seek the lowly place, And worship there the King of grace: 61 The Son of God, who made the earth, A virgin mother gave Him birth. No poison from the serpent stains The human blood that fills His veins; And though our flesh He meekly wears, No mark of sin His nature bears; That He might man to God restore, And give the grace that once He wore. Come, while our hearts are full of mirth, And bless the Lord of lowly birth. The Holy Trinity we'll praise, And give our thanks to God always. Languages: English

Out from the rising of the sun

Hymnal: HEC #62 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Out from the rising of the sun, O'er tracts of desert wild, The Magi came on journey lone, To seek the heaven-born Child; The star o'erhead their footsteps led, And hope their way beguiled. They bore Him costly gifts of gold, And myrrh and spices sweet: "For He is King," they had been told, Whom they would meekly greet; And they would go, in reverence low, And worship at His feet. 63 O humble Child, in manger laid! The wise beheld Thee there, And reverently their homage paid, And gave their offerings rare. Their quest was found, and to the ground They bowed the head in prayer. O Jesu, who in manger lay, The Son of God most high, Let me my humble homage pay, And bring my offerings nigh. And humbly greet Thee at Thy feet, And low in worship lie. Languages: English

What shall we bring to Thee?

Hymnal: HEC #64 (1913) Meter: 6.6.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: What shall we bring to Thee? What shall our offering be On this Thy natal morn? For Thou, O Christ, hast come to earth-- A virgin mother gave Thee birth-- For our redemption born. The whole creation broad Gives praise and thanks to God, Who gave His only Son; And list! the bright angelic throng Their homage yield in sweetest song, For peace on earth begun. 65 The heavens their glory shed, The star shines o'er His head, The promised Christ and King; And wise men from the lands afar, Led by the brightness of the star, Their treasured offerings bring. What shall we give Thee now? Lowly the shepherds bow, Have we no gift to bring? Our worship, lo, we yield to Thee, All that we are, and hope to be-- This is our offering. Languages: English

Over trackless regions

Hymnal: HEC #66 (1913) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.5 Lyrics: Over trackless regions, From the Morning land, Bearing costly treasures, Came a seeking band-- Wise men with devotion, From the Morning land. Wheresoe'er the star led, In the ebon sky, Thither pressed those wise men, With uplifted eye, Following the star light In the ebon sky. They would find the young King Whom the star foretold; They would render homage, And their gifts unfold, Bowing low before Him, Whom the star foretold. 67 Jesu, Son of David, God's Incarnate Word, Endless, unbegotten, By the wise adored-- We would bow before Thee, God's Incarnate Word. Not without an offering Would we seek our King; But with true devotion What is noblest, bring-- With a gift so precious, Would we seek our King. Jesu, King Eternal, Son of God, Divine, Man, yet still remaining Of the Godbead Trine-- See, our hearts we give Thee, Son of God, Divine. Languages: English

Bethlehem rejoices!

Author: John Brownlie; St. John of Damascus Hymnal: HEC #68 (1913) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: Bethlehem rejoices! Hark the voices clear, Singing in the starlight Nearer and more near. Unto God be glory, Peace to men be given; This His will who dwelleth In the heights of heaven. Heaven cannot contain Him, Nor the bounds of earth, Yet, oh glorious mystery! Virgin gives Him birth. Unto God be glory, Peace to men be given; This His will who dwelleth In the heights of heaven. 69 Now the light ariseth In the darkened skies, Now the proud are humbled And the lowly rise. Unto God be glory, Peace to men be given; This His will who dwelleth In the heights of heaven. Languages: English

A band of herdsmen tarried late

Hymnal: HEC #70 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: A band of herdsmen tarried late, Through hours of night disconsolate; Around, the snow lay glistening white, And stars o'erhead were shining bright; O favoured shepherds, there shall rise A brighter star in yonder skies. Whence comes this glory, brighter far Than light that shines from midnight star? An angel from the Lord appears, And lo! their minds are filled with fears; O favoured shepherds, wherefore fear? The messenger of God is here. "O band of herdsmen, list! I bring Glad tidings of a promised King; Go, in a manger ye shall find The new-born Saviour of mankind"; O favoured shepherds, such surprise! To see the Christ in mean disguise. 71 Then stood the herdsmen all amaze, For heaven with glory was ablaze; And choirs of angels, clad in white, Awoke with song the silent night: O favoured shepherds, ye are blest, To hear that heavenly song exprest. "To God be glory," thus they sang, While earth and heaven with music rang; "And peace abounding henceforth dwell With those on earth who please Me well"; O favoured shepherds, night is past, And morn, bright morn, is come at last. O band of herdsmen, long ago, That song was sung on earth below; Now myriad hosts uplift the strains That first awoke on Bethlehem's plains: O favoured shepherds, round the throne, The angel's song is now your own.

Glory in the highest!

Hymnal: HEC #72 (1913) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: Glory in the highest! Hark, what angels sing: Was there e'er such music Borne on rising wing? See, the gates of heaven On their portals rise, And the song that charms us Comes from Paradise. Glory in the highest! Christ our Lord is born; Hail His glorious advent On this happy morn; Ages long have waited 'Mid their brooding ills; Now the herald-voices Wake the silent hills. 73 Herdsmen in their watching Lift their eyes amazed; Sages from the sunland At the starlight gazed; And they bear their treasures, Gold for diadem, Meet to crown the Monarch Born at Bethlehem. Glory in the highest! With the sages bring What is best and fairest For an offering; Lay before the manger Where the Infant lies, All your heart's devotion, Love's best sacrifice. Languages: English

Christ is born, go forth to meet Him

Hymnal: HEC #74 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: Christ is born, go forth to meet Him, Christ by all the heaven adored; Singing songs of welcome, greet Him, For the earth receives her Lord. All ye nations, shout and sing; For He comes, your glorious King. Once His heavenly image bearing, Man has sunk to depths of sin; Now defiled, debased, despairing, Clad in rags and foul within; But our God, who beauty gave, Lifts the soul He comes to save. 75 From the height of heaven beholding, Pity filled the heart of grace; And our Lord, His love unfolding, Made the earth His dwelling-place; And a virgin mother gave God Incarnate, man to save. Wisdom, Might, and Word Eternal, Glory of the Father, Thou! Hid from man and powers supernal, Lo, He wears our nature now! To the Lord your worship bring, Praise Him, your victorious King.

Behold the Lord to Zion rides

Hymnal: HEC #76 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Behold the Lord to Zion rides, And crowds hosannas sing; They spread their garments in the way, And hail Him as a king. O Zion, blind with earthly pride, Why couldst thou not behold The Christ of God, whom sage and seer From age to age foretold? A King indeed, but not to reign By power of earthly might; The glory of whose royal state Is hid from carnal sight. 77 Whose subjects are the souls of men From thrall of darkness won; Whose kingdom knows no bounds, within The dawn and setting sun. Behold thy King to Zion rides Where He the cross shall bear; And on that throne with blood bedecked, His robe of purple wear; Where slaves to sin His love shall view, And from their bondage rise To noble fealty, by the power Of loving sacrifice.
