On Christmas Night All Christians Sing

Hymnal: HTLG2017 #121 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: On Christmas night all Christian sing Lyrics: 1 On Christmas night all Christians sing to hear the news the angels bring; on Christmas night all Christians sing to hear the news the angels bring: news of great joy, news of great mirth, news of our merciful King’s birth. 2 Then why should we on earth be sad, since our Redeemer made us glad? Then why should we on earth be sad, since our Redeemer made us glad, when from our sin He set us free, all for to gain our liberty? 3 When sin departs before His grace, then life and health come in its place; when sin departs before His grace, then life and health come in its place; angels and men with joy may sing, all for to see the newborn King. 4 All out of darkness we have light, which made the angels sing this night; all out of darkness we have light, which made the angels sing this night: “Glory to God and peace to men, now and forevermore. Amen.” Topics: Jesus Christ Incarnation Languages: English Tune Title: SUSSEX CAROL

The First Noel

Hymnal: HTLG2017 #122 (2017) Meter: Irregular First Line: The first noel the angels did say Lyrics: 1 The first noel the angels did say was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay, in fields where they lay keeping their sheep on a cold winter's night that was so deep. Noel, noel, noel, noel! Born is the King of Israel! 2 They looked up and saw a star shining in the east beyond them far; and to the earth it gave great light, and so it continued both day and night. Noel, noel, noel, noel! Born is the King of Israel! 3 And by the light of that same star, three wise men came from country far; to seek for a king was their intent, and to follow the star wherever it went. Noel, noel, noel, noel! Born is the King of Israel! 4 This star drew nigh to the northwest, over Bethlehem it took its rest; and there it did both stop and stay right over the place where Jesus lay. Noel, noel, noel, noel! Born is the King of Israel! 5 Then entered in those wise men three, full rev'rently upon their knee, and offered there in His presence their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. Noel, noel, noel, noel! Born is the King of Israel! Topics: Jesus Christ Incarnation Languages: English Tune Title: THE FIRST NOWELL

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: HTLG2017 #124 (2017) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night, all seated on the ground, the angel of the Lord came down, and glory shone around. 2 "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread had seized their troubled mind; "Glad tidings of great joy I bring to you and all mankind. 3 "To you, in David's town, this day, is born of David's line a Savior, who is Christ the Lord; and this shall be the sign: 4 "The heav'nly Babe you there shall find to human view displayed, all meanly wrapped in swaddling clothes and in a manger laid." 5 Thus spoke the seraph, and forthwith appeared a shining throng of angels, praising God, and thus addressed their joyful song: 6 "All glory be to God on high, and to the earth be peace; goodwill henceforth from heav'n to men begin and never cease."

Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

Author: Theodore Baker; Harriet Spaeth; John Mattes Hymnal: HTLG2017 #125 (2017) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a rose e'er blooming from tender stem hath sprung, of Jesse's lineage coming, as men of old have sung. It came, a flower bright, amid the cold of winter, when half spent was the night. 2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it, the rose I have in mind, with Mary we behold it, the virgin mother kind. To show God's love aright she bore to men a Savior, when half spent was the night. 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 O Savior, child of Mary, who felt our human woe; O Savior, King of glory, who dost our weakness know, bring us at last, we pray, to the bright courts of heaven and to Thy endless day.

Infant Holy, Infant Lowly

Author: Edith M. G. Reed Hymnal: HTLG2017 #126 (2017) Meter: 8.7.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Infant holy, infant lowly, for His bed a cattle stall; oxen lowing, little knowing Christ the Babe is Lord of all. Swift are winging angels singing, noels ringing, tidings bringing: Christ the Babe is Lord of all, Christ the Babe is Lord of all. 2 Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping vigil till the morning new saw the glory, heard the story, tidings of the gospel true. Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow, praises voicing, greet the morrow: Christ the Babe was born for you. Christ the Babe was born for you.

In the Bleak Midwinter

Author: Christina Rossetti Hymnal: HTLG2017 #129 (2017) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak midwinter, long ago. 2 Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain; heav'n and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign: in the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed the Lord God incarnate, Jesus Christ. 3 Angels and archangels may have gathered there, cherubim and seraphim thronged the air; but His mother only, in her maiden bliss, worshiped the Beloved with a kiss. 4 What can I give Him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; if I were a wise man, I would do my part; yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.

All My Heart This Night Rejoices

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: HTLG2017 #130 (2017) Meter: 8.3.3.6.7.3.3.6 Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night 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 Conqu'ror 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 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, fit for glory renders. 5 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." 6 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. 7 Dearest Lord, Thee will I cherish. Though my breath fail in death, yet I shall not perish, but with Thee abide for ever there on high, in that joy which can vanish never.
