All My Heart Sings and Rejoices

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Appears in 279 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All my heart sings and rejoices As I hear Far and near Sweetest angel voices. "Christ is born," their choirs are singing Till the air Ev'rywhere Now with joy is ringing. 2 Forth today the Conqueror goeth, Who the foe, Sin and woe, Death and hell, o'erthroweth. God is man, man to deliver; His dear Son Now is one With our blood forever. 3 Shall we still dread God's displeasure, Who, to save, Freely gave His most cherished Treasure? To redeem us, He hath given His own Son From the throne Of His might in heaven. 4 Should He who Himself imparted Aught withhold From the fold, Leave us broken-hearted? Should the Son of God not love us, Who, to cheer Suff'rers here, Left His throne above us? 5 If our blessed Lord and Maker Hated men, Would He then Be of flesh partaker? If He in our woe delighted, Would He bear All the care Of our race benighted? 6 He becomes the Lamb that taketh Sin away And for aye Full atonement maketh. For our life His own He tenders And our race, By His grace, Meet for glory renders. 7 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, Doth entreat: "Flee from woe and danger. Brethren, from all ills that grieve you You are freed; All you need I will surely give you." 8 Come, then, banish all your sadness, One and all, Great and small; Come with songs of gladness. Love Him who with love is glowing; Hail the Star, Near and far Light and joy bestowing. 9 Ye whose anguish knew no measure, Weep no more; See the door To celestial pleasure. Cling to Him, for He will guide you Where no cross, Pain, or loss Can again betide you. 10 Hither come, ye heavy-hearted, Who for sin, Deep within, Long and sore have smarted. For the poisoned wounds you're feeling Help is near, One is here Mighty for their healing. 11 Hither come, ye poor and wretched; Know His will Is to fill Every hand outstretched. Here are riches without measure; Here forget All regret, Fill your hearts with treasure. 12 Let me in my arms receive Thee; On Thy breast Let me rest, Savior, ne'er to leave Thee. Since Thou hast Thyself presented Now to me, I shall be Evermore contented. 13 Guilt no longer can distress me; Son of God, Thou my load Bearest to release me. Stain in me Thou findest never; I am clean, All my sin Is removed forever. 14 I am pure, in Thee believing, From Thy store Evermore Righteous robes receiving In my heart I will enfold Thee, Treasure rare, Let me there, Loving, ever hold Thee. 15 Dearest Lord, Thee will I cherish. Though my breath Fail in death, Yet I shall not perish, But with Thee abide forever There on high, In that joy Which can vanish never.

Ĝojo ravas mian koron

Author: Paul Gerhardt (ca. 1653-56); Catherine Winkworth; Leonard Ivor Gentle Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Ĝojo ravas mian koron Aŭdas mi, ĉie ĉi, Dolĉan anĝel-ĥoron; "Krist' naskiĝis!" kantas ĥoro Tra l' aer', al la ter', "Kristo la Sinjoro!" 2. Aŭdu! voĉo en sincero Jen al ni diras ĝi, "Fuĝu de danĝero; Fratoj, venu en liberon, Ĉar al vi donas mi Vivon kaj esperon." 3. Venu, ni rapide iru Por ke ni antaŭ li Surgenue miru; Ame li al ni sopiras, Jen la stel', Dia hel', Nin al li ĝi tiras. 4. Vin, Sinjoro, mi obeos, Ĝis la fin' amos vin, Do, mi ne pereos; Restos mi en domo via, En la ĝoj', sen aloj', De eterno Dia. Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: FRÖHLICH SOLL Text Sources: EH 37
