Away in a Manger

Author: John Thomas McFarland, 1851-1913 Appears in 540 hymnals Matching Instances: 105 First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. 2 The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes; I love Thee, Lord Jesus! look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus! I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray; Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there.

Allá en el pesebre

Author: Anónimo; George P. Simmonds Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 11 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 First Line: Allá en el pesebre, do nace Jesús Lyrics: 1 Allá en el pesebre, do nace Jesús, la cuna de paja nos vierte gran luz. Estrellas lejanas del cielo al mirar, se inclinan gozosas su lumbre a prestar. 2 Pastores del campo, teniendo temor, cercados de luz y de gran resplandor, acuden aprisa buscando a Jesús, nacido en pesebre, del mundo la luz. 3 Extraño bullicio despierta al Señor; mas no llora el niño pues es puro amor. Oh vélanos, Cristo Jesús, sin cesar; y siempre felices habremos de estar. Topics: Navidad; Navidad Scripture: Psalm 42:8-11 Used With Tune: CRADLE SONG

O God, you have called us, inviting us in; You've made us your household and freed us from sin. From youngest to oldest, we find in this place Your waters of welcome, your family, your grace. We've heard here your welcome and also your call; Your Spirit inspires us to share Christ with all. The life we receive here is life we can share; We'll carry your message of love everywhere.

O Mercy Divine, O Couldst Thou Incline

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. O mercy divine, O couldst Thou incline, My God, to become such as infant as mine? What wonder of grace: The Ancient of Days Is found in the likeness of Adam’s frail race! 2. He comes from on high, who fashioned the sky, And meekly vouchsafes in a manger to lie; Our God ever blest, with oxen doth rest, Is nursed by His creature and hangs at the breast. 3. So heavenly-mild, His innocence smiled, No wonder the mother would worship the Child, The angels she knew had worshipped Him, too, And still they confess adoration His due. 4. On Jesus’ face, with eager amaze, And pleasure ecstatic the cherubim gaze; Their newly born King, transported they sing, And Heaven and earth with the triumph doth ring. 5. The shepherds behold Him, the promised of old, By angels attended, by prophets foretold; The wise men adore now, and bring Him their store, The rich are permitted to follow the poor. 6. To the inn they repair, to see the young Heir; The inn is a palace, for Jesus is there! Who now would be great, and not rather wait On Jesus their Lord in His humble estate? 7. Like Him would I be, my Master I see In a stable; a manger shall satisfy me; And here will I lie, till raised up on high, With Him on the cross I recover the sky.

We Rear Not a Temple

Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 17 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: We rear not a temple, like Judah's of old Lyrics: 1. We rear not a temple, like Judah’s of old, Whose portals were marble, whose vaultings were gold; No incense is lighted, no victims are slain, No monarch kneels praying to hallow the fane. 2. More simple and lowly the walls that we raise, And humbler the pomp of procession and praise, Where the heart is the altar whence incense shall roll, And Messiah the King who shall pray for the soul. 3. O Father, come in! but not in the cloud Which filled the bright courts where Thy chosen ones bowed; But come in that Spirit of glory and grace, Which beams on the soul and illumines the face. 4. O come in the power of Thy life giving Word, And reveal to each heart its Redeemer and Lord; Till faith bring the peace to the penitent giv’n, And love fill the air with the fragrance of Heav’n. 5. The pomp of Moriah has long passed away, And soon shall our frailer erection decay; But the souls that are builded in worship and love Shall be temples of God, everlasting above.
