Bright and Glorious Is the Sky
Christians, awake, salute the happy morn
Author: John Byrom, 1692-1763 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Coming to Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn,
whereon the Saviour of the world was born;
rise to adore the mystery of love,
which hosts of angels chanted from above;
with them the joyful tidings first begun
of God incarnate and the Virgin's son.
2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told,
who heard the angelic herald's voice, 'Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth
to you and all the nations on the earth;
this day has God fulfilled his promised word,
this day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.'
3 He spoke; and straightway the celestial choir
in hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire.
The praises of redeeming love they sang,
and heaven's whole orb with hallelujahs rang:
God's highest glory was their anthem still,
peace upon earth to people of good-will.
4 To Bethlehem straight the enlightened shepherds ran
to see the wonder of our God made man,
and found, with Joseph and the blessèd Maid,
her son, the Saviour, in a manger laid;
amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim,
the first apostles of his infant fame.
5 Like Mary, let us ponder in our mind
God's wondrous love in saving humankind;
trace we the Babe, who has retrieved our loss,
from the poor manger to the bitter cross;
tread in his steps, assisted by his grace,
until in heaven God's people take their place.
6 There may we hope, the angelic thrones among,
to sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song:
he that was born upon this joyful day
around us all his glory shall display;
saved by his love, unceasing we shall sing
eternal praise to heaven's almighty King. Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Used With Tune: STOCKPORT

Hark, what mean those holy voices
The scene arround me disappears
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Bethlehem Lyrics:
The scene arround me disappears,
And, borne to ancient regions,
While Time recals the flight of years,
I see angelic legions
Descending in an orb of light,
Amidst the dark and silent night;
I hear celestial voices.

"Tidings, glad tidings from above
To every age and nation;
Tidings, glad tidings,--God is love,
To man He sends salvation:
His Son beloved, His only Son,
The work of mercy hath begun;
Give to his name the glory."
Through David's city I am led;
Here all around are sleeping;
A light directs to yon poor shed,
There lonely watch is keeping:
I enter;--ah! what glories shine!
Is this Immanuel's earthly shrine?
Messiah's infant temple?
It is, it is; and I adore
This Stranger meek and lowly,
As saints and seraphs bow before
The throne of God thrice holy:
Faith through the veil of flesh can see
The face of thy Divinity,
My Lord, my God, my Saviour!
The scene arround me disappears

When Jordan hushed his waters still

When Jordan hushed his waters still
There came a little Child to earth
Author: Miss Emily E. S. Elliott, 1836-1897 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Bethlehem Christ born in Lyrics: 1 There came a little Child to earth,
Long ago;
And the angels of God proclaim His birth
High and low
Out in the night so calm and still,
Their song was heard;
For they knew the Child on Bethlehem's hill
Was Christ the Lord.
2 Far away, in a goodly land,
Fair and bright
Children with crowns of glory stand,
Robed in white
In white more pure than the spotless snow;
And their tongues unite
In the psalm which the angels sang long ago
On that still night.
3 They sing how the Lord of that world so fair
A Child was born;
And, that they might His crown of glory share,
Wore a crown of thorn;
And in mortal weakness, in want and pain,
Came forth to die,
That the children of earth might in glory reign
With Him on high.
4 He has put on His kingly apparel now
In that goodly land;
And He leads to where fountains of waters flow
That chosen band
And for ever more, in their robes so fair
And undefiled,
Those ransomed children His praise declare
Who was once a child. Used With Tune: CHILDREN'S SONG
There came a little Child to earth
