Christ Is Born, And Heaven Rejoices
Author: Arthur A. Graley Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Refrain First Line: Glory in the highest, glory Lyrics: 1 Christ is born, and Heaven rejoices,
Judah’s plain is bathed in light;
Thousand, thousand harps and voices
Break the silence of the night.
Refrain:
Glory in the highest, glory,
Peace on earth, good will to men.
2 Christ is born, the Lord’s Anointed,
Leaves the heavenly world a while,
Enters on the work appointed,
God and man to reconcile. [Refrain]
3 To the lost He brings salvation,
Freedom to the captive slave;
Peace amid death’s desolation,
Victory o’er the boasting grave. [Refrain]
4 Christ is born, O wondrous story!
Lord of life, yet born to die;
Sorrow’s child, yet King of Glory:
Born to rule and reign on high. [Refrain]
5 Royal babe, though few enthrone Him,
Few their grateful offerings bring;
All the tribes of earth shall own Him
Prince of Peace, creation’s king. [Refrain] Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE Text Sources: Happy Voices (New York: American Tract Society, 1865)

Author: Mary H. Maxwell Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Saints of God! the dawn is brightening,
Token of our coming Lord:
O’er the earth the field is whitening;
Louder rings the Master’s Word;
Pray for reapers, pray for reapers
In the harvest of the Lord!
2. Now, O Lord, fulfill Thy pleasure,
Breathe upon Thy chosen band,
And, with Pentecostal measure,
Send forth reapers o’er our land;
Faithful reapers, faithful reapers,
Gathering sheaves for Thy right hand.
3. Broad the shadow of our nation,
Eager millions hither roam;
Lo! they wait for Thy salvation;
Come, Lord Jesus! quickly come!
By Thy Spirit, by Thy Spirit,
Bring Thy ransomed people home.
4. Soon shall end the time of weeping,
Soon the reaping time will come;
Heaven and earth together keeping
God’s eternal harvest home.
Saints and angels, saints and angels,
Shout the world’s great harvest home. Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE Text Sources: Original Hymns (New York: 1849)

Of the Father's Love Begotten
Author: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius; J.M. Neale; Henry W. Baker Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 219 hymnals Refrain First Line: Evermore and evermore Lyrics: 1. Of the Father's love begotten,
Ere the worlds began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega,
He the source, the ending He,
Of the things that are, that have been,
And that future years shall see,
Evermore and evermore.
2. At his word the worlds were framèd;
He commanded, it was done:
Heav’n and earth and depths of ocean,
In their threefold order one;
All that grows beneath the shining
Of the moon and burning sun—
[Evermore and evermore.]
3. He was found in human fashion,
Death and sorrow here to know,
That the race of Adam’s children,
Doomed by law to endless woe,
May not henceforth die and perish
In the dreadful gulf below—
[Evermore and evermore.]
4. O that birth forever blessèd,
When the virgin, full of grace,
By the Holy Ghost conceiving,
Bore the Savior of our race,
And the babe, the world’s Redeemer,
First revealed his sacred face—
[Evermore and evermore.]
5. This is he whom seers in old time
Chanted of with one accord,
Whom the voices of the prophets
Promised in their faithful word;
Now he shines, the long-expected;
Let creation praise its Lord—
[Evermore and evermore.]
6. O ye heights of Heav’n adore him!
Angel hosts his praises sing!
All dominions bow before him
And exalt our God and King.
Let no tongue on Earth be silent,
Every voice in concert ring—
[Evermore and evermore.]
7. Christ! to thee with God the Father,
And O Holy Ghost, to thee,
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
And unwearied praises be,
Honor, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory—
[Evermore and evermore.] Topics: Christmas Scripture: John 1:1-14 Used With Tune: DIVINUM MYSTERIUM
Of the Father's Love Begotten
Living Word of God Eternal
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Living Word of God eternal,
Laying claim to every age,
Jesus, speak through all our speaking,
Bring to life the Bible's page;
Let Your Gospel, heard and heeded,
Set our course of pilgrimage.
2 Loving Savior, whose embraces
Our true selves alone unmask,
In this fellowship's small compass
Train us for our common task:
By our love to grow more like You
And to dare what You will ask.
3 Living Bread come down from heaven,
Broken, shared, distributed,
Feed us, gathered at this table,
With Your grace unlimited,
And as servants then employ us
Till this hungry world is fed.
4 Loving Spirit, praying in us,
Giving voice to all our sighs,
Show the wideness of Your mercy
To deaf ears and blinded eyes;
Free our tongues to come before You
With our neighbors' joys and cries.
5 May Your Word among us spoken,
May the loving which we dare,
May Your Bread among us broken,
May the prayers in which we share
Daily make us faithful people,
Living signs, Lord, of Your care.

To the Name That Is Salvation
Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. To the name that is salvation,
Praise and homage let us pay;
Life of every generation,
Law that all the stars obey;
Love and light by whose creation
All that is stands fast today.
2. Fairest name beyond all speaking,
Fullest end of all desire,
Close, yet far beyond all seeking,
Goodness, beauty, truth, entire;
Wisdom, never vengeance wreaking,
Radiance never vexed with ire.
3. ’Tis the name of mercy, speeding,
Just and unjust with His ray;
Power that rules by patient leading,
Not by force, the easier way;
So that man, in freedom heeding,
May the law of love obey.
4. Name of awe and name of pleasure,
Glow divine of grace untold;
Sum of values, whose full treasure
Striving art can ne’er unfold;
Sea of virtue passing measure,
Life that doth all life uphold.
5. Hail, O Father, all creating,
Now, as when the world began;
Master mind, amazed we hail Thee,
As the light-year depths we scan;
Spirit of transcendent union,
True and just Thy ways to man! Used With Tune: ORIEL Text Sources: Possibly by a 15th Century German author
