Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #57 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From heaven high I come to you, I bring you tidings good and new; glad tidings of great joy I bring, whereof I now will say and sing. 2 To you this day is born a child of Mary chosen Virgin mild; this little child, of lowly birth, shall be the joy of all the earth. 3 This is the Christ, Our God and Lord, who in all need shall aid afford; he will himself your Saviour be from all your sins to set you free. 4 These are the tokens ye shall mark: the swaddling clothes and manger dark; there ye shall find the infant laid by whom the heavens and earth were made. 5 Now let us all with gladsome cheer go with the shepherds and draw near to see the precious gift of God, who hath his own dear Son bestowed. 6 Welcome to earth, thou noble guest, through whom the sinful world is blest! In my distress thou com'st to me; what thanks shall I return to thee? Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: VOM HIMMEL HOCH (ERFURT)

Christians, awake! Salute the happy morn

Author: John Byrom, 1692-1763 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #61 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 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 were 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 orb with alleluias rang: God's highest glory was their anthem still, peace upon earth, and unto men good will. 4 To Bethlehem straight the enlightened 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: then to their flocks, still praising God, return, and their glad hearts with holy rapture burn. 5 O may we keep and ponder in our mind God's wondrous love in saving lost mankind; trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss, from his poor manger to his bitter cross; tread in his steps, assisted by his grace, till man's first heavenly state again takes place. 6 Then may we hope, the angelic hosts 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 eternal praise to heaven's almighty King.
