A Child This Day Is Born
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #812 Refrain First Line: Noëls, noëls, noëls Lyrics: 1. A child this day is born,
A child of high renown.
Most worthy of a scepter,
A scepter and a crown.
Refrain
Noëls, noëls, noëls,
Noëls sing all we may,
Because the King of all kings
Was born this blessèd day.
2. The which the holy prophets
Spoke of long time before,
That from the fall of Adam
He should us all restore. [Refrain]
3. This child both God and man
From Heaven down to us came,
He is the King of all kings,
And Jesus is His name. [Refrain]
4. These tidings shepherds heard
In their field watching their fold,
Was by an angel unto them
That night revealed and told. [Refrain]
5. Who standing near by them
To them shinèd so bright,
That they amazèd were
At that most glorious sight. [Refrain]
6. To whom the angel spoke,
Saying, "Be not afraid;
Be glad, poor silly shepherds;
Why are you so dismayed?" [Refrain]
7. "For lo, I bring you tidings
Of gladness and of mirth,
Which cometh to all people by
This holy infant’s birth." [Refrain]
8. "Him hath God lifted up
As light and shepherd’s horn,
Which in the city of David
This present time was born." [Refrain]
9. "The only Son of God was He
The Lord and God most highest;
And He is the true shepherd,
The young child Jesus Christ." [Refrain]
10. Then there was with the angel
A host incontinent
Of heavenly bright soldiers,
Which from the Highest was sent. [Refrain]
11. Lauding the Lord our God,
And His celestial King;
"All glory be in paradise,"
This heavenly host did sing. [Refrain]
12. "Glory be unto our God,
That sitteth still on high,
With praises and with triumph great,
And joyful melody." [Refrain]
13. But when this holy army
Of heavenly soldiers bright
Was unto God returnèd
And vanished out of sight; [Refrain]
14. The shepherds hearts joyful
At this great glorious news
That the King of all kings
Was risen amongst the Jews. [Refrain]
15. Without the least of hindrance
Anon they went in then,
And found the young child Jesus Christ
Thus born in Bethlehem. [Refrain]
16.And as the angel told them,
So to them did appear;
They found the young child Jesus Christ
With Mary His mother dear. [Refrain]
17. Now such a place it was
Where this was come to pass
For want of room this child was laid
Betwixt an ox and ass. [Refrain]
18. Not sumptuously, but simply
Was this young King arrayed,
A manger was the cradle
Where this young child was laid. [Refrain]
19. No pride at all was found
In this most holy child,
But He being void of all sin
The Lamb of god most mild. [Refrain]
20. His body unto bitter pains
He gave to set us free:
He is our Savior Jesus Christ
And none but only He. [Refrain]
21. To Father, Son and Holy Ghost
All glory be therefore,
To whom be all dominion
Both now and evermore. [Refrain]

Richard R. Chope
1830 - 1928 Author of "This Day a Child Is Born" in The Cyber Hymnal Chope, Richard Robert, M.A., born Sept. 21, 1830, educated at Exeter College, Oxford, B.A., 1855, and took Holy Orders as Curate of Stapleton, 1856. During his residence at Stapleton the necessities of the Choir led him to plan his Congregational Hymn and Tune Book, published in 1857. In 1858 he took the Curacy of Sherborne, Dorset; in the following year that of Upton Scudamore, where he undertook the training of the Chorus of the Warminster district for the first Choral Festival in Salisbury Cathedral; and in 1861 that of Brompton. The enlarged edition of The Congregational Hymn Book was published 1862, and The Canticles, Psalter, &c, of the Prayer Book, Noted and Pointed, during the same year. In 1865 he was preferred to the parish of St. Augustine's, Queen's Gate, South Kensington, and subsequently published Carols for Use in Church during Christmas and Epiphany, 1875; Carols for Easier and Other Tides, 1887; and other works. Mr. Chope has been one of the leaders in the revival and reform of Church Music as adapted to the Public Services. He was one of the originators of The Choir and Musical Record, and was for some time the proprietor and assistant editor of the Literary Churchman.
--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Author of "A Child This Day Is Born" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
