Once again, O blessed time

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #334 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Once again, O blessed time, Thankful hearts embrace thee; If we lost thy festal chime, What could e'er replace thee? What could e'er replace thee? Change will darken many a day, Many a bond dissever; Many a joy shall pass away, But the "Great Joy" never! But the "Great Joy" never But the "Great Joy" never! 2 Once again the Holy Night Breathes its blessing tender; Once again the Manger Light Sheds its gentle splendour; O could tongues by Angels taught Speak our exultation In the Virgin's Child that brought All mankind Salvation! 3 Welcome Thou to souls athirst, Fount of endless pleasure: Gates of Hell may do their worst, While we clasp our Treasure: Welcome, though an age like this Puts Thy Name on trial, And the Truth that makes our bliss Pleads against denial! 4 Yea, if others stand apart, We will press the nearer; Yea, O best fraternal Heart, We will hold Thee dearer: Faithful lips shall answer thus To all faithless scorning, "Jesus Christ is God with us, Born on Christmas morning." 5 So we yield thee all we can, Worship, thanks and blessing; Thee true God, and Thee true Man. On our knees confessing; While Thy Birth-day morn we greet With our best devotion, Bathe us, O most true and sweet! In Thy Mercy's ocean.

Once Again, O Blessed Time

Author: William Bright Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8857 Lyrics: 1 Once again, O blessèd time, Thankful hearts embrace thee; If we lost thy festal chime, What could ever replace thee? What could ever replace thee? Change will darken many a day, Many a bond dissever; Many a joy shall pass away, But the "Great Joy" never. But the "Great Joy" never. But the "Great Joy" never! 2 Once again the holy night Breathes its blessing tender; Once again the manger light Sheds its gentle splendor, Sheds its gentle splendor; Oh! could tongues by angels taught Speak our exultation In the virgin’s child that brought All mankind salvation? In the virgin’s child that brought All mankind salvation? All mankind salvation? All mankind salvation? 3 Welcome Thou to souls athirst, Fount of endless pleasure: Gates of Hell may do their worst, While we clasp our Treasure, While we clasp our Treasure; Welcome, though an age like this Puts Thy name on trial, And the truth that makes our bliss Pleads against denial, Pleads against denial, Pleads against denial! 4 Yea, if others stand apart, We will press the nearer; Yea, O best fraternal Heart, We will hold Thee dearer, We will hold Thee dearer; Faithful lips shall answer thus To all faithless scorning, "Jesus Christ is God with us, Born on Christmas morning." Born on Christmas morning. Born on Christmas morning. 5 So we yield Thee all we can, Worship, thanks, and blessing; Thee true God, and Thee true Man, On our knees confessing; While Thy birthday morn we greet With our best devotion, Bathe us, O most true and sweet! In Thy mercy’s ocean. Bathe us, O most true and sweet! In Thy mercy’s ocean. In Thy mercy’s ocean. 6 Thou that once, ’mid stable cold, Wast in babe-clothes lying, Thou whose altar veils enfold Power and life undying, Power and life undying; Thou whose love bestows a worth On each poor endeavor, Have Thou joy of this Thy birth In our praise forever. In our praise forever. In our praise forever. Languages: English Tune Title: [Once again, O blessed time]
