The King of Glory sends his Son

Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Birth of Christ Miracles at it Lyrics: 1 The King of Glory sends his Son To make his Entrance on this Earth; Behold the Midnight bright as Noon, And heav'nly Hosts declare his Birth. 2 About the young Redeemer's Head What Wonders and what Glories meet! An unknown Star arose, and led The Eastern Sages to his Feet. 3 Simeon and Anna both conspire The Infant-Saviour to proclaim; Inward they felt the sacred Fire, And bless'd the Babe, and own'd his Name. 4 Let Jews and Greeks blaspheme aloud, And treat the holy Child with Scorn; Our Souls adore th' eternal God, Who condescended to be born.

Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 428 hymnals Topics: Christ Birth and Infancy of Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little Child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall: With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us He grew; He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us He knew: And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above, And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone. Amen. Used With Tune: IRBY

Christmas Bells

Longfellow Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: Christ Birth of First Line: I heard the bells on Christmas day Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace of earth, good will to men. 2 I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th'unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. 3 And in despair I bowed my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men." 4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, good will to men." 5 Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, good will to men. Baptist Hymnal, 1991
