What Good News The Angels Bring
Author: William Hammond Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8323 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 What good news the angels bring,
What glad tidings of our king!
Christ the Lord is born today,
Christ, who takes our sins away!
He who rules both Heav’n and earth,
Hath in Bethlehem His birth;
Him shall all the people see,
And rejoice eternally.
2 Lift your hearts and voices high,
With hosannas fill the sky;
"Glory be to God above,"
Who is infinite in love!
"Peace on earth, good will to men!"
Now with us our God is seen;
Angels, join with us in praise!
Help to sing redeeming grace.
3 Now the wall is broken down,
Now the Gospel is made known;
Now the door is open wide,
Christ for Jew and Gentile died;
All who feel the weight of sin,
All who languish to be clean;
All who for redemption groan,
May be saved by faith alone.
4 Jesus is the lovely name:
This the angel doth proclaim;
He shall all His people save,
They in Him remission have;
When they see themselves undone,
They take refuge in the Son;
They shall all be born again,
And with Him in glory reign.
5 Shout, ye nations of the earth,
Sing the triumphs of His birth;
All the world by Him is blest,
Sound His praise from east to west;
Jews and Gentiles jointly sing,
Christ our common Lord and king;
Christ, our life, our joy, our song,
To eternity prolong! Languages: English Tune Title: MADRID

William Hammond
1719 - 1783 Person Name: William Hammond, 1719-1783 Author of "What Good News the Angels Bring" in Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church Hammond, William, B.A, born at Battle, Sussex, Jan. 6, 1719, and educated at St. John's College, Cambridge. In 1743 he joined the Calvinistic Methodists; and in 1745, the Moravian Brethren. He died in London, Aug. 19, 1783, and was buried in the Moravian burial-ground, Sloane Street, Chelsea. He left an Autobiography in Greek, which remains unpublished. His original hymns, together with his translations from the Latin, were published in his:—
Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs. To which is prefix'd A Preface, giving some Account of a Weak Faith, and a Full Assurance of Faith; and briefly stating the Doctrine of Sanctification; and shewing a Christian's Completeness, Perfection, and Happiness in Christ. By William Hammond, A.B., late of St. John's College, Cambridge. London: Printed by W. Strahan; and sold by J. Oswald, at the Rose and Crown in the Poultry, mdccxlv.
A few of his original hymns from scriptural fidelity and earnestness have attained to a foremost position amongst English hymns. These include, "Awake, and sing the song," and "Lord, we come before Thee now." His translations of Latin hymns were amongst the earliest published after those contained in the Primers and other devotional works of 16th and 17th centuries. They are of merit, and worthy of attention. Greater use might also be made of his original compositions. In addition to those named above, the following are also in common use:—
1. Brightness of the Father's Face. God the Son.
2. How great the Christian's portion is. Possession of All in Christ.
3. If Jesus is yours. God's unchangeable Love.
4. In Thine own appointed way. Divine Worship.
5. Jesus, Who died the [a] world to save. Easter.
6. Lord, if on earth the thought of Thee. Heaven anticipated.
1. Now with joint consent we sing. Divine Worship.
8. O Lord, how little do we know. Quinquagesima.
9. Would you win a soul to God ? The Gospel Message.
