Behold, a Branch is Growing

Author: H. R. Spaeth, 1845-1925; J. C. Mattes, 1876-1948 Hymnal: ELH1996 #121 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold, a branch is growing Of loveliest form and grace, As prophets sung, foreknowing; It springs from Jesse's race And bears one little Flow'r In midst of coldest winter, At deepest midnight hour. 2 Isaiah hath foretold It In words of promise sure, And Mary's arms enfold It, A virgin meek and pure. Through God's eternal will This Child to her is given At midnight calm and still. 3 The shepherds heard the story, Proclaimed by angels bright, How Christ, the Lord of Glory, Was born on earth this night. To Bethlehem they sped And in the manger found Him, As angel heralds said. 4 This Flow'r, whose fragrance tender With sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor The darkness ev'rywhere. True Man, yet very God; From sin and death He saves us And lightens ev'ry load. 5 0 Savior, Child of Mary, Who felt our human woe; O Savior, King of Glory. Who dost our weakness know, Bring us at length, we pray. To the bright courts of heaven And to the endless day. Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST EIN ROS

We Christians May Rejoice Today

Author: K. Füger, 1521-1592; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: ELH1996 #122 (1996) Meter: 4.4.11.4.4.11 Lyrics: 1 We Christians may Rejoice today, When Christ was born to comfort and to save us; Who thus believes No longer grieves, For none are lost who grasp the hope He gave us. 2 O wondrous joy That God most high Should take our flesh and thus our race should honor! A Virgin mild Hath borne this Child; Such grace and glory God hath put upon her. 3 Sin brought us grief, But Christ relief, When down to earth He came for our salvation. Since God with us Is dwelling thus, Who dares to speak the Christian's condemnation? 4 Then hither throng With happy song To Him whose birth and death are our assurance; Through whom are we At last set free From sins and burdens that surpassed endurance. 5 Yea, let us praise Our God and raise Loud hallelujahs to the skies above us. The bliss bestowed Today by God To ceaseless thankfulness and joy should move us. Topics: Nativity of our Lord Languages: English

There ye shall find the Infant laid By whom the heavens and earth were made." 6 Now let us all with gladsome cheer Follow the shepherds and draw near To see this wondrous gift of God, Who hath His only Son bestowed. 7 Give heed, my heart, lift up thine eyes! What is it in yon manger lies? Who is this child, so young and fair? The blessed Christ-child lieth there. 8 Welcome to earth, Thou noble Guest, Through whom the sinful world is blest! Thou com'st to share my misery; What can we render, Lord, to Thee? 9 Ah, Lord, who hast created all, How weak art Thou, how poor and small, That Thou dost choose Thine infant bed Where ox and as but lately fed! 10 Were earth a thousand times as fair, Beset with gold and jewels rare, It yet were far too poor to be A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee. 11 For velvets soft and silken stuff Thou hast but hay and straw so rough, Whereon Thou, King, so rich and great, As 'twere Thy heav'n, art throned in state. 12 Thus hath it pleased Thee to make plain The truth to sinners poor and vain, That all the world's honor, wealth and might, Are naught and worthless in Thy sight. 13 Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child, Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled, Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee. 14 My heart for very joy doth leap; My lips no more can silence keep. I, too, must sing with joyful tongue That sweetest ancient cradle-song: 15 Glory to God in highest heav'n, Who unto us His Son hath giv'n! While angels sing with pious mirth A glad new year to all the earth. Topics: Nativity of our Lord Languages: English Tune Title: VON HIMMEL HOCH

Adam's likeness, Lord, efface; Print Thine image in its place; O to all Thyself impart, Formed in each believing heart. Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King!"
