To Shepherds as They Watched by Night
Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #53 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) First Line: To shepherds as they watched at night Lyrics: 1 To shepherds as they watched by night
Appeared a host of angels bright;
"Behold the tender babe," they said,
"In yonder lowly manger laid,
2 "At Bethlehem, in David's town,
As Micah did of old make known.
It is the Christ, your Lord and King,
Who will to all salvation bring."
3 Oh, then rejoice that through his Son
God is with sinners now at one;
Made like yourselves of flesh and blood,
Your brother is the eternal God.
4 What harm can sin and death then do?
The true God now abides with you.
Let hell and Satan storm and rave,
Christ is your brother -- you are safe.
5 Not one he will or can forsake;
His cov'nant he will never break.
Let ev'ry scheme the tempter try,
You may his utmost pow'rs defy.
6 You shall and must at last prevail.
God's own you are; you cannot fail.
To God forever sing your praise
With joy and patience all your days. Topics: Christmas; Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR

On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Hymnal: Christian Worship #316 (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh;
come, then, and listen, for he brings
good news about the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be ev'ry life from sin
and furnished for a Guest within,
and let us all our hearts prepare
for Christ to come and enter there.
3 We hail you as our Savior, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away
like flow'rs that wither and decay.
4 Stretch forth your hand, our health restore,
and lift us up to fall no more;
O make your face on us to shine,
and fill the world with love divine.
5 All praise to you, eternal Son,
whose advent has our freedom won,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit evermore.

To Shepherds as They Watched by Night
Where high the heavenly temple stands
Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #451 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands,
the house of God not made with hands,
a great High Priest our nature wears,
Jesus, the Son of God, appears.
2 He who for us our surety stood,
and poured on earth his precious blood,
pursues in heaven his mighty plan,
eternal God and Son of Man.
3 Though now ascended up on high,
he bends on earth a brother's eye;
partaker of the human name,
he knows the frailty of our frame.
4 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains
a fellow-feeling of our pains;
and still remembers in the skies
his tears, his agonies, and cries.
5 In every pang that rends the heart
the Man of Sorrows has a part;
he sympathizes with our grief,
and to the sufferer sends relief.
6 With boldness, therefore, at the throne,
let us make all our sorrows known;
and ask the aid of heavenly power
to help us in the evil hour. Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood; Our Response to God in intercession and petition; Christian Year Ascension; Grief; Jesus compassion; Prayer Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR
Where high the heavenly temple stands
From East to West, from Shore to Shore
Author: Caelius Sedulius (5th cent.?); John Ellerton (1826-1893) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #155 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Common Praise (1998) Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore,
let every heart awake and sing
the holy child whom Mary bore,
the Christ, the everlasting King.
2 Behold! The world's creator wears
the form and fashion of a slave;
our very flesh our Maker shares,
his fallen creatures all to save.
3 For this how wondrously he wrought!
A maiden, in her lowly place,
became, in ways beyond all thought,
the chosen vessel of his grace.
4 Assenting to the angel's word,
she chose what God the Spirit willed,
and suddenly the promised Lord
that pure and hallowed temple filled.
5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall,
he lay within the manger bed,
and he whose bounty feeds us all
at Mary's breast himself was fed.
6 And while the angels in the sky
sang praise above the silent field,
to shepherds poor the Lord most high,
the one great Shepherd, was revealed.
7 All glory for this blessèd morn
to God, the source of all, is due;
all praise to you, O Virgin-born,
all praise, O Holy Ghost, to you.

Come, thou Redeemer of the earth
Author: St. Ambrose, c. 340-397; J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Common Praise #49 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Common Praise Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Redeemer of the earth,
and manifest thy virgin-birth:
let every age adoring fall;
such birth befits the God of all.
2 Begotten of no human will,
but of the Spirit, thou art still
the Word of God, in flesh arrayed,
the Saviour, now to us displayed.
3 From God the Father he proceeds,
to God the Father back he speeds,
runs out his course to death and hell,
returns on God's high throne to dwell.
4 O equal to thy Father, thou!
Gird on thy fleshly mantle now,
the weakness of our mortal state
with deathless might invigorate.
5 Thy cradle here shall glitter bright,
and darkness glow with new-born light,
no more shall night extinguish day,
where love's bright beams their power display.
6 O Jesu, virgin-born, to thee
eternal praise and glory be,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit, evermore. Amen. Topics: Christmas; Advent IV Year A; Advent IV Year C Scripture: 1 John 2:1 Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR

The God whom earth and sea and sky

adore and laud and magnify,
whose might they own, whose praise they tell,
in Mary's body deigned to dwell.
2 O Mother blest, the chosen shrine
wherein the Architect divine,
whose hand contains the earth and sky,
vouchsafed in hidden guise to lie:
3 Blest in the message Gabriel brought;
blest in the work the Spirit wrought;
most blest, to bring to human birth
the long-desired of all the earth.
4 O Lord, the Virgin-born, to thee
eternal praise and glory be,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Ghost for evermore. Topics: Blessed Virgin Mary Scripture: Galatians 4:4 Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR
