Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians

Author: Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #30 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians, With all your hearts, this morn! O hear the blessed tidings, "The Lord, the Christ, is born," Now brought us by the angels That stand about God's throne; O lovely are the voices That make such tidings known! 2 O hearken to their singing! This Child shall be your Friend; The Father so hath willed it, That thus your woes should end. The Son is freely given, That in Him ye may have The Father's grace and blessing, And know He loves to save. 3 Nor deem the form too lowly That clothes Him at this hour; For know ye what it hideth? 'Tis God's almighty power. Though now within the manger So poor and weak He lies; He is the Lord of all things, He reigns above the skies. 4 Sin, death, and hell, and Satan Have lost the victory; This Child shall overthrow them, As ye shall surely see. Their wrath shall naught avail them; Fear not, their reign is o'er; This Child shall overthrow them,-- O hear and doubt no more. Amen.

O little town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: LHTC1918 #31 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light: The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to-night. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And, gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy Birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to all the earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still The dear Christ enters in. 4 O Holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us to-day. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

Let the earth now praise the Lord

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Heinrich Held Hymnal: LHTC1918 #32 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Let the earth now praise the Lord, Who hath truly kept His word, And the sinners' Help and Friend Now at last to us doth send. 2 What the fathers most desired, What the prophets' heart inspired, What they longed for many a year, Stands fulfilled in glory here. 3 Abram's promised great reward, Zion's Helper, Jacob's Lord, Him of twofold race behold, Truly came, as long foretold. 4 Welcome, O my Savior, now! Hail! My Portion, Lord, art Thou! Here too in my heart, I pray,-- O prepare Thyself a way. 5 Then when Thou dost come again, As a glorious King to reign, I with joy shall see Thy face, Freely ransomed by Thy grace. Amen.

Jesus! Name of wondrous love!

Name of priceless worth To the fallen sons of earth, For the promise that it gave,-- "Jesus shall His people save." 3 Jesus! Name of mercy mild, Given to the Holy Child, When the cup of human woe First He tasted here below. 4 Jesus! Only name that's given Under all the mighty heaven, Whereby man, to sin enslaved, Bursts his fetters, and is saved. 5 Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Human Name of God above! Pleading only this, we flee, Helpless, O our God, to Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Circumcision Languages: English Tune Title: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

To the Name of our salvation

Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: LHTC1918 #36 (1917) Lyrics: 1 To the Name of our salvation Laud and honor let us pay; Which, for many a generation, Hid in God's foreknowledge lay; But with holy exultation We may sing aloud to-day. 2 Jesus is the Name we treasure, Name beyond what words can tell; Name of gladness, Name of pleasure, Ear and heart delighting well; Name of sweetness, passing measure, Saving us from sin and hell. 3 'Tis the Name for adoration; 'Tis the Name of victory; 'Tis the Name for meditation In this vale of misery; 'Tis the Name for veneration By the citizens on high. 4 'Tis the Name by right exalted Over every other name; That, when we are sore assaulted, Puts our enemies to shame: Strength to them who else had halted, Eyes to blind, and feet to lame. 5 Jesus, we, Thy Name adoring, Long to see Thee as Thou art; Of Thy clemency imploring So to write it in our heart, That hereafter, upward soaring, We with angels may have part. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Circumcision Languages: English Tune Title: ORIEL

Songs of thankfulness and praise

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #37 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise, Jesus, Lord, to Thee we raise, Manifested by the star To the sages from afar; Branch of royal David's stem In Thy birth at Bethlehem: Anthems be to Thee addrest, God in Man made manifest. 2 Manifest at Jordan's stream, Prophet, Priest, and King supreme; And at Cana wedding-guest In the Godhead manifest; Manifest in power divine, Changing water into wine; Anthems be to Thee addrest, God in Man made manifest. 3 Manifest in making whole Palsied limbs and fainting soul; Manifest in valiant fight, Quelling all the devil's might; Manifest in gracious will, Ever bringing good from ill; Anthems be to Thee addrest, God in Man made manifest. 4 Grant us grace to see Thee, Lord, Present in Thy holy Word; Grace to imitate Thee now And be pure, as pure art Thou; That we like to Thee may be, At Thy great Epiphany And may praise Thee, ever blest, God in Man made manifest. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: ST. EDMUND

As with gladness men of old

Author: William Chatterton Dix Hymnal: LHTC1918 #38 (1917) Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led by Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Thee Whom heaven and earth adore; So may we, with willing feet, Ever seek Thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we, with holy joy, Pure, and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus! every day Keep us in the narrow way; And when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down; There for ever may we sing Hallelujahs to our King. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: DIX

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: LHTC1918 #39a (1917) Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; Star of the east, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch, and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom and offerings divine; Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR
