From Heaven Above to Earth I Come
From heaven above to earth I come
Author: M. Luther Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #181 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From heaven above to earth I come
To bear good news to every home;
Glad tidings of great joy I bring,
Whereof I now will say and sing.
2 To you this night is born a child
Of Mary, chosen mother mild;
This little child, of lowly birth,
Shall be the joy of all the earth.
3 'Tis Christ, our God, who far no high
Hath heard your sad and bitter cry;
Himself will your salvation be,
Himself from sin will make you free.
4 He brings those blessings, long ago
Prepared by God for all below;
Henceforth His kingdom open stands
To you, as to the angel bands.
5 These are the tokens ye shall mark,
The swaddling clothes and manger dark;
There shall ye find the young child laid,
By whom the heavens and earth were made.
6 Now let us all with gladsome cheer
Follow the shepherds, and draw near
To see this wondrous gift of God,
Who hath His only Son bestowed.
7 Give heed, my heart,lift up thine eyes!
Who is it in yon manger lies?
Who is this child so young and fair?
The blessed Christ-child lieth there.
8 Welcome to earth, Thou noble Guest,
Through whom the sinful world is blest!
Thou com'st to share our misery,
What can we render, Lord, to Thee!
9 Ah, Lord, who hast created all,
How hast Thou made Thee weak and small,
That Thou must choose Thine infant bed
Where ass and ox but lately fed!
10 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.
11 For velvets soft and silken stuff
Thou hast but hay and straw so rough,
Whereon thou, King, so rich and great,
As 'twere Thy heaven, art throned in state.
12 Thus hath it pleased Thee to make plain
The truth to sinners poor and vain,
That this world's honor, wealth and might
Are naught and worthless in Thy sight.
13 Ah, dearest Jesus, Holy Child,
Make Thee a bed, soft undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.
14 My heart for very joy must leap,
My lips no more can silence keep;
I, too, must sing with joyful tongue
That sweetest ancient cradle song:
15 Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given!--
While angels sing with pious mirth
A glad New Year to all the earth.

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: Christian Worship #331 (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: From heav'n above to earth I come Lyrics: 1 "From heav'n above to earth I come
to bear good news to ev'ry home;
glad tidings of great joy I bring,
whereof I now will say and sing:
2 "To you this night is born a child
of Mary, chosen virgin mild;
this little child of lowly birth
shall be the joy of all the earth.
3 "This is the Christ, our God most high,
who hears your sad and bitter cry;
he will himself your Savior be
from all your sins to set you free.
4 "He will on you the gifts bestow
prepared by God for all below,
that in his kingdom bright and fair,
you may with us his glory share.
5 "These are the signs which you shall mark:
the swaddling clothes and manger dark.
There you will find the infant laid
by whom the heav'ns and earth were made."
6 How glad we'll be to find it so!
Then with the shepherds let us go
to see what God for us has done
in sending us his own dear Son.
7 Come here, my friends, lift up your eyes,
and see what in the manger lies.
Who is this child, so young and fair?
It is the Christ Child lying there.
8 Welcome to earth, O noble Guest,
through whom this sinful world is blest!
You came to share my misery,
that you might share your joy with me.
9 Ah, Lord, though you created all,
how weak you are, so poor and small,
that you should choose to lay your head
where lowly cattle lately fed!
10 Were earth a thousand times as fair,
and set with gold and jewels rare,
it would be far too poor and small
a cradle for the Lord of all.
11 Instead of soft and silken stuff
you have but hay and straw so rough
on which as king, so rich and great,
to be enthroned in royal state.
12 And so it pleases you to see
this simple truth revealed to me:
that worldly honor, wealth, and might
are weak and worthless in your sight.
13 Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child,
prepare a bed, soft, undefiled
within my heart, made clean and new
a quiet chamber kept for you.
14 My heart for very joy must leap;
my lips no more can silence keep.
I too must sing with joyful tongue
that sweetest ancient cradle song:
15 Glory to God in highest heaven,
who unto us his Son has given,
while angels sing in pious mirth
a glad new year to all the earth! Topics: Christmas Scripture: Luke 2:8-20 Languages: English Tune Title: VOM HIMMEL HOCH

5 We too must join the angel throng
to sing again this joyful song:
"All glory be to God in heaven,
who unto us his Son has given."
