O Lord! how happy is the time

Author: Wolfgang Christoph Dessler; Greville Matheson Hymnal: ELHW1908 #421 (1908) Tune Title: CHESTER Lyrics: 1 O Lord! how happy is the time, When in Thy love I rest, When from my weariness I climb E'en to Thy tender breast. The night of sorrow endeth there, The rays outshine the sun, And in Thy pardon, and Thy care, The heav'n of heav'ns is won. 2 The world may call itself my foe, Or let the world allure, I care not for the world, I go To this tried Friend and sure. And when life's fiercest storms are sent, Upon life's wildest sea, My little bark is confident, Because it holds by Thee. 3 When the law threatens endless death, Upon the dreadful hill, Straightway from its consuming breath My soul mounts higher still; It hastes to Jesus, wounded, slain, And finds in Him its home, Whence it shall not go forth again, And where no death can come. 4 I do not fear the wilderness, Where Thou hast been before; Nay! rather would I daily press Toward Thee, and near Thee more! Thou art my strength, on Thee I lean, My heart Thou makest sing, And to Thy pastures rich and green Thy chosen flock wilt bring. 5 And if the gate that opens there Be closed to other men, It is not closed to those who share The heart of Jesus then. That is not losing much of life, Which is not losing thee, Who art as present in the strife, As in the victory!

Lord, I would own Thy tender care

Author: Jane Taylor; Ann Taylor Hymnal: ELHW1908 #352 (1908) Tune Title: CHIMES Lyrics: 1 Lord, I would own Thy tender care And all Thy love to me; The food I eat, the clothes I wear, Are all bestowed by Thee. 2 And Thou preservest me from death And dangers, ev'ry hour: I cannot draw another breath, Unless Thou give the power. 3 My health and friends and parents dear To me by God are given; I have not any blessings here, But what are sent from heaven. 4 Such goodness, Lord, and constant care A child can ne'er repay; But may it be my daily prayer To trust Thee and obey.

Th'atoning work is done

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: ELHW1908 #98 (1908) Tune Title: CHRIST CHURCH Lyrics: 1 Th'atoning work is done, The Victim’s blood is shed, And Jesus now is gone His people’s cause to plead: He stands in heav'n their great High Priest, And bears their names upon His breast. 2 No temple made with hands His place of service is; In heav'n itself He stands, A heavenly priesthood His: In Him the shadows of the Law Are all fulfilled, and now withdraw. 3 And though awhile He be Hid from the eyes of men, His people look to see Their great High Priest again: In brightest glory He will come, And take His waiting people home.

Praise ye the Lord, ye Christians!

Author: Nicolaus Herman; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: ELHW1908 #31b (1908) Tune Title: CHRISTMAS Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, ye Christians! Yea, Praise the Eternal One, Who opens heaven to us this day, And gives us His own Son. 2 He comes from His loved Father's side, Becomes an infant small, And lies with scarce a want supplied Weak in an humble stall. 3 His power divine aside is laid, No crown adorns His brow; The mighty God who all things made Comes as a servant now. 4 He nestles at His mothers' breast, Her precious nursling boy, Whom saints and angels call the Blest, And who is all their joy. 5 He is the Root of David's line, King David's Lord and Son, Through whom and by whose grace divine The kingdom must be won. 6 A wonderful exchange He makes, He puts on flesh and blood, Then gives us back in what He takes, His Godhead as our good. 7 He serves, that I a lord may be, And gives His life for mine; How could His love do more for me? O mystery divine! 8 To-day He opens us the door Of blissful Paradise, The cherub threatens there no more; Then let His praises rise! Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English

Am I soldier of the cross

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: ELHW1908 #382a (1908) Tune Title: CHRISTMAS Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross? A foll'wer of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His Name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flow'ry beds of ease? While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war Shall conquer though they die; They see the triumph from afar, With faith's discerning eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thine armies shine, In robes of vict'ry through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.

Author: John H.

Joy to the world, the Lord has come! Prepare the holy Christ-child room; Lo, see, the Day-star dawneth bright! O blessed Star, be Thou our light! Thou heav'nly Guide, With us abide! Amen. 2 Let heaven and earth with gladness ring! The Savior comes, the new-born King! Behold Him in a manger laid, Sweet Babe in swaddling clothes arrayed: He, the eternal Word of grace, Comes down to save our fallen race. Let earth rejoice in highest strains! Glory to God, Messiah reigns! In Him confide, Whate'er betide! Amen. 3 Bright angel choirs in glitt'ring train, With grand hosannas sweep the plain; And unto humble shepherds bring Tidings of Christ, the heav'nly King. O loving Savior of our race, In whom the rich and poor find grace, We'll spread Thy Gospel's cheering ray! Thou art the Life, the Truth, the Way: Thyself accord To us, O Lord! Amen.
