Chime, Happy Christmas Bells, Once More

Author: Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig, (1783-1872); Dr. Charles Porterfield Krauth Hymnal: HOoS1926 #31 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Chime, happy Christmas bells, once more, The heav'nly Guest is at the door, The blessed words the shepherds thrill, The joyous tidings, "Peace, good will." 2 O let us go with quiet mind, The gentle Babe with shepherds find, To gaze on Him who gladdens them, The loveliest flower of Jesse's stem. 3 The lowly Saviour meekly lies, Laid off the splendor of the skies; No crown bedecks His forehead fair, No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there. 4 O holy Child, Thy manger gleams Till earth and heaven glow with it beams, Till midnight turns to brightest noon, And Jacob's Star outshines the sun. 5 Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest, Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast, Then David's harp-strings, hushed so long, Shall swell our jubilee of song. Amen. Topics: Church Year Christmas; Christmas Day Languages: English Tune Title: DET KIMER NU TIL JULEFEST. (EMMANUEL)

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: HOoS1926 #36 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy darkness shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous Gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us to-day. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell: O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel! Amen.

Calm on the Listening Ear of Night

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: HOoS1926 #38 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Calm on the list'ning ear of night Lyrics: 1 Calm on the list'ning ear of night Come heav'n's melodious strains, Where wild Judea stretches forth Her silver-mantled plains; Celestial choirs from courts above Shed sacred glories there; And angels, with their sparkling lyres, Make music on the air. 2 The answ'ring hills of Palestine Send back the glad reply, And greet from all their holy heights The Day-spring from on high: O'er the blue depths of Galilee There comes a holier calm; And Sharon waves in solemn praise Her silent groves of palm. 3 "Glory to God!" the lofty strain The realm of ether fills; How sweeps the song of solemn joy O'er Judah's sacred hills! "Glory to God!" the sounding skies Loud with their anthems ring: "Peace on the earth; good will to men," From heaven's eternal King. 4 This day shall Christian tongues be mute, And Christian hearts be cold? O catch the anthem that from heaven O'er Judah's mountains rolled, When burst upon that listening night The high and solemn lay, "Glory to God; on earth be peace": Salvation comes to-day. Amen.

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: HOoS1926 #39 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold; "Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King": The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing. 2 Still thro' the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold, When the new heaven and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

The Newborn King Who Comes Today

Hymnal: HOoS1926 #40 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The new-born King who comes to-day Brings tidings of great joy, Which sin can never take away, Nor death nor hell destroy. Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice, And hail this glorious dawn; For God comes down, frail man to crown: The Lord of life is born! 2 He comes not as a king of earth, In pomp and pride to reign; He seeks a poor and humble birth, But free from sinful stain; Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice, Glad hymns of triumph sing: The Wonderful, the Counsellor, He comes, your God and King! 3 For us He leaves His Father’s throne, His sapphire throne on high, And comes to dwell on earth alone, For fallen man to die. Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice, All hail Messiah’s dawn; Our God comes down, earth’s joy and crown: The King of Love is born. 4 Glad Gentiles in their eastern home His radiant star behold; To God, their King, they joy to bring Sweet incense, myrrh, and gold. Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice, In heaven your praises sing, Before Him fall, the Lord of all, Your Maker and your King! 5 We join your song, celestial throng, Whose anthems never cease; We tune our lyres, with angels choirs, To hail the Prince of Peace! Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice, All hail Immanuel’s morn; For God comes down, frail man to crown: To us a Child is born. Amen.
