Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing

Muhlenberg Hymnal: CHRC1920 #51 (1920) First Line: Sion, the marvelous story be telling Lyrics: Chorus: Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing, Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King! 1 Sion, the marvelous story be telling, The Son of the Highest, How lowly His birth! The brightest archangel is glory excelling, He stoops to redeem thee, He reigns upon earth: [Chorus] 2 Tell how He cometh; from nation to nation The heart-cheering news let the earth echo round: How free to the faithful He offers salvation, His people with joy everlasting are crowned. [Chorus] 3 Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing, And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise: Ye angels, the full Alleluia be singing; One chorus resound thro' the earth and the skies. Chorus: Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing, Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King, Messiah is King, Messiah is King. Topics: The Christian Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: AVISON

While shepherds watch'd their flocks by night

Author: N. Tate Hymnal: CHRC1920 #52 (1920) Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watch'd 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 minds, "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, The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, And this shall be the sign. 4 "The heavenly Babe you there shall find, To human view display'd, All meanly wrapt in swathing bands, And in a manger laid." 5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, who thus Address'd their joyful song: 6 "All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth from heaven to men Begin, and never cease."

Calm on the list'ning ear of night

Author: E. H. Sears Hymnal: CHRC1920 #53 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Calm on the list'ning ear of night Come heav'n's melodious strains, Where wild Judea stretches far Her silver-mantled plains. 2 Celestial choirs from courts above Shed sacred glories there; And angels with their sparkling lyres, Make music on the air. 3 The answering hills of Palestine Send back the glad reply; And greet, from all their holy heights, The Day-Spring from on high. 4 O'er the blue depths of Galilee There comes a holier calm, And Sharon waves, in solemn praise, Her silent groves of palm. 5 "Glory to God!" the sounding skies Loud with their anthems ring, "Peace to the earth, good-will to men, From heaven's eternal King!" 6 Light on thy hills, Jerusalem! The Saviour now is born! More bright on Bethlehem's joyous plains Breaks the first Christmas morn. Topics: The Christian Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES

Christians, awake, salute the happy morn

Author: J. Byrom Hymnal: CHRC1920 #54 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn, Whereon the Saviour of man-kind 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 upon earth: This day hath God fulfilled His promised word, This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord." 3 He spake; and straightway the celestial choir In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire: The praises of redeeming love they sang, And heaven's whole arch with alleluias rang: God's highest glory was their anthem still, Peace upon earth, and unto men good-will. 4 To Bethlehem straight the happy shepherds ran, To see the wonder God had wrought for man: And found, with Joseph and the blessed maid, Her Son, the Saviour, in a manger laid; Amazed the wondrous story they proclaim, The earliest heralds of the Saviour's name. 5 Let us, like these good shepherds, then employ Our grateful voices to proclaim the joy; Trace we the Babe, Who hath retrieved our loss, From His poor manger to His bitter Cross; Treading His steps, assisted by His grace, Till man's first heavenly state again takes place. 6 Then 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, incessant we shall sing Of angels and of angel-men the King.

It came upon the midnight clear

Author: E. H. Sears Hymnal: CHRC1920 #56 (1920) 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 through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled; And still their heavenly 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 O 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.

O little town of Bethlehem!

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: CHRC1920 #57 (1920) 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 dark streets 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 wondering 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 Christian angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel!

Angels from the realms of glory

O Son of Man, Thyself once cross'd

Author: J. F. Thrupp Hymnal: CHRC1920 #60 (1920) Lyrics: 1 O Son of Man, Thyself once cross'd By every suff'ring here below, Who taught'st Thy noble martyr-host To follow in Thy path of woe. 2 O Son of God, Whose glory cast Its light upon Thy champion's face, Revealing to his eyes at last The marvels of the holiest place; 3 Be ours the faith that sees Thee stand Beside the throne of God on high, To succour with Thy strong right hand Thy soldiers when to Thee they cry. 4 Be ours the hope, resigned and meek, That trusts the spirit to Thy care, That longs Thy face in heaven to seek, And dwell with Thee in glory there. 5 Be ours the love, divine and free, Which asks forgiveness for our foes; Which draws, in life, its life from Thee, And, dying, finds in Thee repose.
