Far from Thy heavenly care
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #23 (1900) Meter: 6.6.8.4 Lyrics:
Far from Thy heavenly care,
Lord, I have gone astray;
And all the wealth Thou gav’st to me,
Have cast away.
Now from a broken heart,
In penitence sincere,
I lift my prayer to Thee, O Lord,
In mercy hear.
And in Thy blest abode
Give me a servant’s place,
That I, a son, may learn to own
A Father’s grace.

Far from Thy heavenly care
O King enthroned on high
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #24 (1900) Meter: 6.6.8.4 Lyrics:
O King enthroned on high,
Thou Comforter Divine,
Blest Spirit of all Truth, be nigh
And make us Thine.
Yea, Thou art everywhere,
All places far or near;
O listen to our humble prayer,
Be with us here!
Thou art the source of life,
Thou art our treasure-store;
Give us Thy peace, and end our strife
For evermore.
Descend, O Heavenly Dove
Abide with us alway;
And in the fulness of Thy love
Cleanse us, we pray.
Languages: English
O King enthroned on high
To Thy blest Cross, O Christ, we come
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #25 (1900) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics:
To Thy blest Cross, O Christ, we come,
And falling down adore Thee,
And humbly make confession full
Of all our sins before Thee.
For Thou Thyself art very God,
And freely cam’st to save us;
And in our flesh the fetters broke
With which our sins enslave us.
Therefore we own with grateful hearts
The joy the Saviour brought us,
Who came to earth, and in our sins
With love and pity sought us.
Languages: English
To Thy blest Cross, O Christ, we come
O come let us adore
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #26 (1900) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
O come let us adore
The Lord of all the earth,
And in our songs of praise recount
The mystery of His birth.
The middle wall is razed,
An entrance now is free;
For cherubim with sword of flame
No longer guard the tree.
O Paradise restored!
Now I shall enter in,
And taste the bliss from which I fell
Through Adam’s mortal sin,—
For Christ, the Father’s Son,
Who God’s true image bore,
Of Virgin born, in low estate
Our human nature wore.
True God! True Man! to Thee
Our earnest prayers ascend;
O, of Thy loving-kindness hear,
Who art the Sinners’ Friend.
Languages: English
O come let us adore
Christ is born, go forth to meet Him
Author: John Brownlie; St. Cosmas Hymnal: JBHGC #28 (1900) 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.
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.
Languages: English
Christ is born, go forth to meet Him
What shall we bring to Thee?
Author: John Brownlie; St. Anatolius, died 458 A.D. Hymnal: JBHGC #30 (1900) 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.
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.

What shall we bring to Thee?
In the bliss of old predicted
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #32 (1900) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics:
In the bliss of old predicted,
Heaven and earth to-day rejoice;
Men and angels, one in spirit,
Shout aloud in gleeful voice;
For, to those in darkness drear,
God in human flesh is near.
Cave and manger show the mystery;
Shepherds tell the wondrous tale;
Bearing gifts to lay before Him
From the East the Magi hail;
Taught by angel words to sing,
We unworthy praises bring.
Glory be to God eternal!
Peace on earth its reign begin!
For the one Desire of nations
Comes to save us from our sin;
Freedom He will now bestow
From the bondage of the foe.

In the bliss of old predicted
Bethlehem rejoices
Author: St. John of Damascus; John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #33 (1900) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D 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 can not contain Him,
Nor the bounds of earth,
Yet, O 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.
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.

Bethlehem rejoices
To-day the groans of Hades rise
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #35 (1900) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics:
To-day the groans of Hades rise,—
‘Ah, better far for me
The Son of Man had never died
Upon the cursèd tree!
For by His power the fettered souls
I held in darkest night,
Are carried through the sundered gates
Into the realm of light.’
Let glory now the Cross adorn,
Hail, hail the Resurrection morn!
To-day the groans of Hades rise,—
‘My might is overthrown;
I took One dead, from ’mong the dead,
And claimed Him for mine own;
But He hath crushed my ancient power;
And those I held in thrall
Have thrown aside the chains they wore,
And He hath rescued all.’
Let glory now the Cross adorn,
Hail, hail the Resurrection morn!
To-day the groans of Hades rise,—
‘My power is gone from me;
The Shepherd died upon the Cross,
And Adam’s sons are free;
The bars are taken from the tomb,
Death can no more appal;
For He who gave Himself to death,
By death hath rescued all.’
Let glory now the Cross adorn,
Hail, hail the Resurrection morn!
Languages: English
To-day the groans of Hades rise
No longer now at Eden's gate
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #37 (1900) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
No longer now at Eden’s gate
The fiery weapon gleams,
But from the Cross that leads to life
A light alluring streams.
And now the power of Death is gone,
His sting is torn away;
Grim Hades can no longer claim
His silent victory.
For Thou, O Saviour, didst descend
Where darkness brooding lies,
And bad’st the souls in bondage held
Return to Paradise.
