Come, and Christ the Lord Be Praising
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, and Christ the Lord be praising,
Heart and mind to Him be raising,
Celebrate His love amazing,
Worthy folk of Christendom.
2. Sin, death, hell, may all be grieving,
Satan shame feel to him cleaving;
We salvation free receiving,
Cast our every care away.
3. See what God for us provideth,
Life that in His Son abideth,
And our weary steps He guideth
From earth’s woe to heav’nly joy.
4. His soul deeply for us feeleth,
He His love to us revealeth,
He who is in the heavens dwelleth
Came to save us from our foe.
5. Jacob’s star His advent maketh,
Soothes the longing heart that acheth,
And the serpent’s head He breaketh,
Scattering the powers of hell.
6. Op’d hath He and freedom gained us
From the prison that contained us,
Where much grief and sorrow pained us,
And our hearts were bowed with woe.
7. O blest hour when we receivèd
From the foe who us deceivèd
Liberty, when we believèd,
And Thee, gracious Spirit, praised.
8. Beauteous Infant in the manger,
O befriend us! beyond danger
Bring us where is turned God’s anger
Where with angel hosts we’ll praise. Used With Tune: VENITE LAUDITE Text Sources: Johann Ebeling's edition of his Geistliche Andachten, Fünfte Dutzet, 1667; Translation in Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs (London: 1867

Gabriel, from the Heaven Descending
Author: Adam of St. Victor; John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Gabriel, from the Heaven descending,
On the faithful Word attending,
Is in holy converse blending
With the virgin full of grace:
2. That good word and sweet he plighteth
In the bosom where it lighteth,
And for Eva Ave writeth,
Changing Eva’s name and race.
3. At the promise that he sendeth
God the Incarnate Word descendeth;
Yet no carnal touch offendeth
Her, the undefilèd one.
4. She, without a father, beareth,
She no bridal union shareth,
And a painless birth declareth
That she bare the Royal Son.
5. Tale that wondering search entices!
But believe—and that suffices;
It is not for man’s devices
Here to pry with gaze unmeet:
6. High the sign, its place assuming
In the bush, the unconsuming:
Mortal, veil thine eyes presuming,
Loose thy shoes from off thy feet.
7. As the rod, by wondrous power,
Moistened not by dew or shower,
Bare the almond and the flower,
Thus He came, the virgin’s fruit:
8. Hail the Fruit, O world, with gladness!
Fruit of joy and not of sadness:
Adam had not lapsed to madness
Had he tasted of its shoot.
9. Jesus, kind above all other,
Gentle Child of gentle mother,
In the stable born our Brother,
Whom the angelic hosts adore:
10. He, once cradled in a manger,
Heal our sin and calm our danger;
For our life, to this world stranger,
Is in peril evermore. Used With Tune: QUEM PASTORES Text Sources: Manuscript, circa 1199, in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris; translation in Medieval Hymns, second edition, 1863, page 137
