Hark The Glad Sound! The Savior Comes

Author: P. Doddridge Hymnal: HCH11927 #81 (1927) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hark the glad sound! the Savior comes, The Savior promised long: Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne, And ev'ry voice a song. 2 He comes, the prisoners to release, In Satan's bondage held; The gates of brass before Him burst, The iron fetters yield. 3 He comes, the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure, And with the treasures of His grace To bless the humble poor. 4 Our glad Hosannas. Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim, And heaven's eternal arches ring With Thy beloved name. Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: [Hark the glad sound! the Savior comes]

Blossom As A Rose Shall Here

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: HCH11927 #82 (1927) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Blossom as a rose shall here All the desert places, Blossom when the golden year Shines on sadden'd faces. Glory crowns proud Lebanon, Carmel's height has splendor won, Flowers bloom in Sharon. 2 Quiet ye the trembling hands, All the feeble strengthen, Loosen all enslaving bands, God our days would lengthen. Gleams the sword, so keen and swift, Death to foes, to friends a gift; Comes the Lord to save you. 3 Sight He giveth to the blind And their eyes shall glisten: Every mute his voice shall find, All the deaf shall listen; Like the hart the lame shall leap, Zion nevermore shall weep, Peace shall reign forever. 4 Thus Isaiah prophesied In the days of sadness. Ages passed, then far and wide Spread the news of gladness: Christ is here, with us He stands, Changing with His loving hands Desert wastes to Eden. 5 Hail our King at god's right hand, Jesus and His Spirit Lead us to the promised land We by faith inherit. And though death be drawing near, Words of life the deaf shall hear; Mutes shall sing His praises. Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: [Blossom as a rose shall here]

Christmas Is Here With Joy Untold

Author: B. S. Ingemann Hymnal: HCH11927 #83 (1927) Meter: 8.8.9.8.8.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 Christmas is here with joy untold; Now young and old are rejoicing. What angels made known to men of old the lips of all babes are voicing; Branches from Eden's tree stands bright With lights that point to the Giver; All children whose joy is pure and right May harbor that joy forever. 2 Joy is a guest on earth today; It comes with Jesus from heaven. Come, gentle-eyed dove and sparrow gray, To feasting this morn is given. Dance, little child, this festal morn, So rich in grace for each mortal; Today was our wondrous Savior born And open'd His kingdom's portal. 3 Christ was a Child like you and me, And helpless lay in the manger. In Paradise where the angels be He welcomes each homesick stranger. He as our Lord among us lives Who rules all heaven's dominions. To those of a child-like faith He gives In Eden fair angel pinions.

Christmas-Child, and be my guest, Give me Thy Holy Spirit, Prepare my heart and make it blest Forever through Thy merit, That I at last may dwell with Thee, Thy kingdom see, And all its gifts inherit.

A Little Child So Fair And Bright

Author: Grundtvig Hymnal: HCH11927 #85 (1927) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 A little child so fair and bright Is sent to us from heaven; Before or since that Christmas night Such gift was never given; But when the time of God was come, His Son did leave His heav'nly home And found on earth a mother; This Morning Star, this child of fame, In lowliness among us came To be our Lord and Brother. 2 Exalted in eternity Is Jesus Christ, our Savior! All honor to our Father be For His unequaled favor! Each Christmas day anew we raise Our voices unto Him in praise, In joyful adoration; Tho' poor our hallelujahs ring, In heaven countless voices sing With ours in jubilation.

Splendid Are The Heavens High

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: HCH11927 #87 (1927) Meter: 7.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Splendid are the heavens high, Beautiful the radiant sky, Where the golden stars are shining And their rays to earth inclining, Beck'ning us to heav'n above, Beck'ning us to heav'n above. 2 It was on the holy night, Darkness veil'd the stars so bright; But at once the heavens hoary Were bedeck'd with light and glory, Coming from a wondrous star, Coming from a wondrous star. 3 When this star so fair and clear Should illume the midnight drear, Then according to tradition, Should a king with heav'nly mission Unto earth from heav'n descend, Unto earth from heav'n descend. 4 Sages from the East afar, When they saw this wondrous star, Went to find this King of nations And to offer their oblations Unto Him as Lord and King, Unto Him as Lord and King. 5 Him they found in Bethlehem, Yet He wore no diadem; They but saw a maiden lowly With an infant pure and holy, Resting in her loving arms, Resting in her loving arms. 6 Guided by the star, they found Him whose praise the ages sound. We, too, have a star to guide us, Which forever will provide us, With the light to find our Lord. 7 And this star as bright as day, Which will never lead astray With its message so appealing, Is the Word of God, revealing Christ to us as Lord and King.

The Happy Christmas Comes Once More

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: HCH11927 #88 (1927) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The happy Christmas comes once more, The heav'nly Guest is at the door, The blessed words the shepherds thrill, The joyous tidings: Peace, good-will. 2 To David's city let us fly, Where angels sing beneath the sky; Thro' plain and village pressing near, And news from God with shepherds hear. 3 O let us go with quiet mind, The gentle Babe with shepherds find, To gaze on Him who gladdens them, The loveliest flow'r on Jesse's stem. 4 The lowly Savior meekly lies, Laid off the splendor of the skies; No crown bedecks His forehead fair, No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there. 5 No human glory, might, and gold, The lovely Infant's form enfold; The manger and the swaddlings poor Are His, whom angels' songs adore. 6 O wake our hearts, in gladness sing, And keep our Christmas with our King, Till living song from loving souls, Like sound of mighty water rolls! 7 O holy Child, Thy manger gleams Till earth and heaven glow with its beams, Till midnight hath noon's brightness won, And Jacob's Star outshines the sun. 8 Thou patriarchs' joy, Thou prophets' song, Thou heavenly Day-spring looked for long, Thou Son of Man, incarnate Word, Great David's Son, great David's Lord! 9 Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest, Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast; Then David's harp-string, hushed so long, Shall swell our jubilee of song.

Jesus, Savior, Of Virgin Born

Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: HCH11927 #90 (1927) Meter: 8.8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Savior, of Virgin born, Sent to rescue a world forlorn, Joyfully we our voices raise And with the angels sing Thy praise. Hallelujah! 2 Son of God, though enthron'd on high, In a manger Thou here didst lie; thou hast assumed our flesh and blood, Who art in truth the greatest Good. Hallelujah! 3 Thou whom heaven can not enclose Didst in Mary's embrace repose; Thou wert an infant weak and small, Who by Thy pow'r up-holdest all. Hallelujah! 4 Light celestial, thou dost illume Earth's dominions, engulfed in gloom; Thou dost dispel the dismal night And we are made the sons of light. Hallelujah! 6 Here on earth Thou wert poor indeed, Humbly sharing our ev'ry need, That we in heaven rich may be, From ev'ry earthly burden free. Hallelujah! 7 This, O Lord, Thy great love to seal, Thou to us wouldst this day reveal; Let then all Christian here rejoice, Singing Thy praise with gladsome voice. Hallelujah!
