Lord, who left the highest heaven

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #97b (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Christmas 2 The Holy Family Lyrics: 1 Lord, who left the highest heaven for a homeless human birth and, a child within a stable, came to share the life of earth — with your grace and mercy bless all who suffer homelessness. 2 Lord, who sought by cloak of darkness refuge under foreign skies from the swords of Herod's soldiers, ravaged homes and parents' cries — may your grace and mercy rest on the homeless and oppressed. 3 Lord, who lived secure and settled, safe within the Father's plan, and in wisdom, stature, favour growing up from boy to man — with your grace and mercy bless all who strive for holiness. 4 Lord, who leaving home and kindred, followed still as duty led, sky the roof and earth the pillow for the Prince of glory's head — with your grace and mercy bless sacrifice for righteousness. 5 Lord, who in your cross and passion hung beneath a darkened sky, yet whose thoughts were for your mother, and a thief condemned to die — may your grace and mercy rest on the helpless and distressed. 6 Lord, who rose to life triumphant with our whole salvation won, risen, glorified, ascended, all the Father's purpose done — may your grace, all conflict past, bring your children home at last.

There he wins our full salvation, dies that we may die no more; then arising, lives for ever, reigning where he was before. 4 High on yon celestial mountains stands his sapphire throne, all bright, midst unending alleluias bursting from the saints in light; Sion's people tell his praises, victor after hard-won fight. 5 Bring your harps, and bring your incense, sweep the string and pour the lay; let the earth proclaim his wonders, King of that celestial day; he the Lamb once slain is worthy, who was dead, and lives for ay. 6 Laud and honour to the Father, laud and honour to the Son, laud and honour to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One, consubstantial, co-eternal, while unending ages run.

Min Sol, min Lyst, min Glæde

Author: Kingo Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #154 (1919) Topics: Christmas 2 Lyrics: 1 Min Sol, min Lyst, min Glæde, Min Jesus, Hjertens Ven, Hvor længes jeg at træde Og komme til dig hen! Jeg har en Julesang I Hjertet dig at yde, Som skal med Tak udflyde, Hjælp selv min Troes Gang! 2 Men, ak, de Verdens Bomme Og Bolte hindre mig, Jeg ei saa fort kan komme Til, søde Jesus, dig. Her lægges Sten og Stød For Foden alle Steder, I dig jeg mig dog glæder Og længes til min Død. 3 Man siger mig, du ligger I Krybbe, Hø og Straa, Kun lig en ussel Tigger; Jeg dig dog gjerne saa! Nu siger man: hvad kan Er Arm hos Arme gjøre? Dog hviskes i met Øre, Du er af anden Stand. 4 Man siger, at dig følger Kun Kors og Kummer med, Og at man gaar i Bølger I dine Fodefjed; At Død, og Satan til, Samt Verdens onde Skare Vil sætte dem i Fare, Som dig opsøge vil. 5 Sligt mig vel meget hindrer, Og isner mig mit Blod, Dog er der Et, som lindrer Mig ved min Hjerterod; Jeg veed ei, hvad det er, Det er en Lyst, en Længsel At følge dig, om Trængsel Mig end til Døde skjær.

Søde Jesus Festens Fyrste

Author: Kingo Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #155 (1919) Topics: Christmas 2 Evening Service Lyrics: 1 Søde Jesus, Festens Fyrste, Spire ud af Jesse Rod, Vil man dog saa hastig tørste Efter dit og Dines Blod? Vi igaar blandt Englelyd Sang din Fødsel ind med Fryd, Skal vi klage nu og græde, Og idag en Ligsang kvæde? 2 Efter du stod op af Døde, Stefan første Martyr blev; Han frivillig vilde bløde, Med sit blod sin Tro beskrev; Han var frisk og uforferd Til at føre Aandens Sverd, Hvo, som turde imodsige, Maatte ham med Blussel vige. 3 Falske tungers Slange-Brodde Hemmelig paa hannem stak, Og ved Løgn ham undertraadde, Det blev al hans Gjernings Tak. De beløi ham mer og mer, Som saa tidt i Verden sker: Herrens Lov og Tempels Ære Skalkeskjul maa ofte være. 4 Om end Englelys og Ære Skinner af hans Øieften, Ville de dog Tænder skjære Til at knuse ham hans Ben. Han har Gud i Syn og Sind, Langt han ser i Himlen ind, Raaber, mens de Oren stoppe: Jesus staar i glans deroppe! 5 De nu hannem overfalde, Og af Staden støde ham, Han paa Jesus fast mon kalde, Midlertid er hver ham gram, Stener, slaar og gjør ham Meen, Knuser ham hans Pandeben; Saulus samme Stund sig glæder, Træder paa Guds Martyrs Klæder. 6 Der han vil til Døden blegne, Og har Munden fuld af Blod, Beder han, Gud ei tilregne Vil dem deres Synderflod, Dermed han i Jesu Tro Sov hen til Guds evig Ro. Jesus os den Naade kjende, I slig Tro vort Liv at ende! Languages: Norwegian

Hvor tryg en Vei

Author: Kingo Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #156 (1919) Topics: Christmas 2 Evening Service Lyrics: 1 Hvor tryg en Vei Er du, o Jesus god! Sig ikke nei, Min Sjæl, og kvi dig ei, Om det gjaldt dit Liv og Blod! Gak du kun fort, Hvor han vil, Og se til, Du stille, taksom gaar, Fordi du Korset faar! Naar kun Jesus Formand er, Og din Byrde med dig bær, Sæl er da din Reisefærd. 2 O Jesus, bliv Min Vandrings rettesnor, Din Naade giv, At jeg i dette Liv Mister ei dit Fodespor! Tag, Jesus, mig Ved din Haand, Lad din Aand Oplyse mine Trin Med Naadens Sol og Skin, Lad i dine Fjed mig gaa, At jeg under Korset maa Evigt Liv og Ære saa! Languages: Norwegian
