We Christians May Rejoice Today
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Caspar Füger Meter: 4.4.11.4.4.11 Appears in 9 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 First Line: We Christians may Lyrics: 1 We Christians may Rejoice today,
When Christ was born to comfort and to save us.
Who thus believes No longer grieves,
For none are lost who grasp the hope He gave us.
2 Oh, wondrous joy That God most high
Should take our flesh and thus our race should honor!
A Virgin mild Hath borne this Child;
Such grace and glory God hath put upon her.
3 Sin bro't us grief, But Christ relief,
When down to earth He came for our salvation.
Since God with us Is dwelling thus,
Who dares to speak the Christian's condemnation?
4 Then hither throng With happy song
To Him whose birth and death are our assurance;
Through whom are we At last set free
From sins and burdens that surpassed endurance.
5 Yea, let us praise Our God and raise
Loud hallelujahs to the skies above us.
The bliss bestowed Today by God
To ceaseless thankfulness and joy should move us.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Close of Service Scripture: Luke 2:20 Used With Tune: O JESU CHRIST, DEIN KRIPPLEIN

O Savior Dear
Author: Paul E. Kretzmann; P. Gerhardt Meter: 4.4.11.4.4.11 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: O Savior dear, Thy manger drear Lyrics: 1 O Savior dear,
Thy manger drear
I fain would call a paradise of glory.
Here Thou, O Lord,
Incarnate Word,
Dost lie as prophets told in sacred story.
2 The wind and sea
Are calmed by Thee,
Thou art enthroned as King in highest heaven;
And yet Thy dress
Is lowliness,
Thou as an infant small to us art given.
3 O God of love,
To heav'n above
Upon Thy throne our weakness Thou hast lifted;
Thine only Son
Is now as one
With us, who had like passing vapor drifted.
4 What though our foe
Would bring us low?
His deadly anger can no more appall us.
Though Adam's fall
Has tainted all,
Thy saving grace to glory doth recall us.
5 Thou prince of hell,
Thy plans so fell
Do not avail thee for our condemnation;
Thy vaunted gain
Is all in vain,
For Jesus is the Fount of our salvation.
6 The highest Good,
Our flesh and blood,
Is Lord of all and governs every nation;
It cannot be
That ever He
Should let us suffer needless tribulation.
7 Let others hold
Their wealth of gold,
Thou truly hast a more abiding treasure;
Rejoice and sing,
Thy praises bring
To Him who blesseth thee in fullest measure. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Used With Tune: MANGER
O Savior Dear
O Jesu Christ, Dein Kripplein Ist
Author: Paul Gerhardt Appears in 21 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Jesu Christ, dein Kripplein ist
Mein Paradies,
Da meine Seele weidet!
Hier ist der Ort, hier liegt das Wort
Mit unserm Fleisch persönlich angekleidet.
2 Dem Meer und Wind gehorsam sind,
Gibt sich zum Dienst
Und wird ein Knecht der Sünder.
Du, Gottes Sohn, wirst Erd’ und Ton,
Gering und schwach wie wir und unsre Kinder.
3 Sein Licht und Heil macht alles heil;
Der Himmelsschatz
Bringt allen Schaden wieder.
Der Freudenquell Immanuel,
Schlägt Teufel, Höll’ und all ihr Reich danieder.
4 Drum, frommer Christ,
Wer du ach bist,
Sei gutes Muts und laß dich nicht betrüben!
Weil Gottes Kind dich ihm verbind’t
So kann’s nicht anders sein, Gott muß dich lieben.
5 Gedenke doch, wie herrlich hoch
Er über allen
Jammer dich geführet!
Der Engel Heer ist selbst nicht mehr
Als eben du mit Seligkeit gezieret.
6 Laß aller Welt ihr Gut und Geld
Und siehe nur,
Daß dieser Schatz dir bleibe!
Wer den hier fest hält und nicht läßt,
Den ehrt und krönt er dort an Seel’ und Leibe. Used With Tune: [O Jesu Christ, dein Kripplein ist]
O Jesu Christ, Dein Kripplein Ist
