From heaven above to earth I come
Good news from heaven the angels bring
Author: Arthur Tozer Russell; Martin Luther; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals Matching Instances: 12 Lyrics: 1 Good news from heaven the angels bring,
Glad tidings to the earth they sing:
To us this day a Child is given,
To crown us with the joy of heaven.
2 This is the Christ, our God and Lord,
Who in all need shall aid afford;
He will Himself our Saviour be,
From all our sins to set us free.
3 All hail, Thou noble Guest, this morn,
Whose love did not the sinner scorn:
In my distress Thou com’st to me,
What thanks shall I return to Thee?
4 Were earth a thousand times as fair,
Beset with gold and jewels rare,
She yet were far too poor to be
A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee.
5 Ah, dearest Jesus, Holy Child,
Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.
6 Praise God upon His heavenly throne,
Who gave to us His only Son;
For this His hosts, on joyful wing,
A blest New Year of mercy sing.

Behold, the Joyful Day Is Nigh
Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Emil A. Edlén Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the joyful day is nigh,
And angels’ voices from on high
Proclaim the news in early morn
That the Good Shepherd now is born.
2 In quiet splendor forth He comes,
The scattered sheep and tender lambs
To gather, and their fold prepare
With all a shepherd’s tender care.
3 The gentle Shepherd we behold
Who, not with silver and with gold,
But by His suffering and His death,
Will save us from eternal wrath.
4 His Church, though small its seed may be,
Shall grow into a mighty tree,
With fruitful branches spreading o’er
The earth till time shall be no more.
5 Arise and shine, thy Light is come,
O humankind, O Christendom;
Thy glory and thy peace is here;
The Saviour of the world draws near.
6 All praise and glory be to Thee
For wisdom, power, and majesty;
And for Thy grace and mercy, Lord,
Forever be Thy name adored.

Ye clouds, rain gladness on our head,
Thou earth, behold the time of grace,
And blossom forth in righteousness!

And pierce the gloomy clefts of earth;
Behold, the mountains melt away
Like wax beneath Thine ardent ray!

And bid this arid desert bloom!
The sorrows of Thy people see,
And take our human flesh on Thee.

The broken limb in mercy bind,
Us sinners from our guilt release,
And fill us with Thy heavenly peace.

Comes then at last the longed-for light?
Ah yes, Thou shinest, O true Sun,
In whom are God and man made one! Used With Tune: VON HIMMEL HOCH Text Sources: Odarum Sacrarum, Liber Posterior (Prague: 1612); translated from Latin to German in Praxis Pietatis Melica, by Johann Crüger, 1653; Translated from German to English in Lyra Germanica, second series, 1858, page 3
