Splendid Are The Heavens High

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 7.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals 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.

Hark,The Heav'nly Voices Sing

Author: Frederick A. Graves Meter: 7.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Hark, the heav’nly voices sing Lyrics: 1 Hark, the heav’nly voices sing, Glory to a Savior king. Glad hosannas sang the angels; O, how precious was the message: Peace on earth, good will tow’rd men, Peace on earth, good will tow’rd men! 2 Why should Jesus come to earth, Taking such a humble birth, In a manger as a stranger, Come so lowly, yet so holy, Come to set His people free, Come to set His people free? 3 Said the shepherds, wondering men: "Let us go to Bethlehem." There they found Him in a manger, Found the blessèd little Stranger; He, the Savior of the world, He, the Savior of the world. 4 Then to seek the Prince of Peace Came the wise men from the east, Myrrh and gold, sweet frankincense All had brought Him, costly presents; Gifts of love were all of these, Gifts of love were all of these. 5 What does Jesus ask of me? Free will offering it must be. All my heart and all my powers, All my days and all my hours. Here I give myself to Thee, Here I give myself to Thee. Used With Tune: CELESTIA

Dejlig Er Den Himmel Blå

Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 7.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Dejlig er den himmel blå, Lyst det er at se derpå, Hvor de gyldne stjerner blinke, Hvor de smile, hvor de vinke Os fra jorden op til sig, Os fra jorden op til sig. 2 Det var midt i julenat, Hver en stjerne glimted mat, Men med ét der blev at skue Én så klar på himlens bue Som en lille stjernesol, Som en lille stjernesol. 3 Når den stjerne lys og blid Sig lod se ved midnatstid, Var det sagn fra gamle dage, At en konge uden mage Skulle fødes på vor jord, Skulle fødes på vor jord. 4 Vise mænd fra østerland Drog i verden ud på stand For den konge at oplede, For den konge at tilbede, Som var født i samme stund, Som var født i samme stund. 5 De ham fandt i Davids hjem, De ham fandt i Betlehem, Uden spir og kongetrone, Der kun sad en fattig kone, Vugged barnet i sit skød, Vugged barnet i sit skød. 6 Stjernen ledte vise mænd Til vor Herre Kristus hen; Vi har og en ledestjerne, Og når vi den følger gerne, Kommer vi til Jesus Krist, Kommer vi til Jesus Krist. 7 Denne stjerne lys og mild, Som kan aldrig lede vild, Er hans guddoms-ord det klare, Som han os lod åbenbare Til at lyse for vor fod, Til at lyse for vor fod.

Brandt Meter: 7.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Children, come with joy and praise And to God sweet anthems raise; We shall hear the wondrous story Of His goodness, might and glory, And extol His holy name. 2 He, who sends His angels mild To protect each little child, From your birth has you befriended And His arm to you extended With a Father's loving care. 3 Of His blessing, rich and fair, He was made the child and heir, For He said His kingdom holy Shall to those be given solely Who like children have become. 4 When to Christ ye were baptized, Ye beam the highly prized Who His kingdom shall inherit And be lifted by the Spirit To a place with Him above. 5 When the world attempts to sway You to leave His word and way, Flee then to your heav'nly Father, In His arms He will you gather And protect you by His might. 6 Children, cast on Him your cares, He will hear your childlike prayers. He is here among us present With His light and grace incessant When we pray in Jesus' name. Topics: Sunday School Hymns Praise Used With Tune: [Children, come with joy and praise]
