Hymnal: Voices of Praise #355 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Waken, Christian children, Up, and let us sing, With glad hearts and voices, Of our newborn King. Up! 'tis meet to welcome With a joyous lay Christ, the King of Glory, Born for us today. 2 In a manger lowly Sleeps the heavenly Child, O'er Him fondly bendeth Mary, Mother mild. Far above that stable, Up in heaven so high, Once bright star outshineth, Watching silently. 3 Fear not, then, to enter, Though we cannot bring Gold, or myrrh, or incense, Fitting for a King. Gifts He asketh richer, Offerings costlier still, Yet may Christian children Bring them if they will. 4 Brighter than all jewels Shines the modest eye; Best of gifts, He loveth Infant purity. Haste we, then, to welcome With a joyous lay Christ, the King of Glory. Born of us to-day. Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: [Waken, Christian children]

Person Name: Anon. Composer of "[Waken, Christian children]" in Melodies for Little People In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
