Once in royal David's city
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #81 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 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 And through all his wondrous childhood
he would honour and obey,
love and watch the lowly maiden,
in whose gentle arms he lay:
Christian children all must be
mild, obedient, good as he.
4 For he 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.
5 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.
6 Not in that poor lowly stable,
with the oxen standing by,
we shall see him; but in heaven,
set at God's right hand on high;
where like stars his children crowned
all in white shall wait around. Topics: Children; Children and All-Age Worship; Christmas; Christmas Midnight; Church Year Christmas; Dévotion; Future hope; Heaven; Mary; Obedience Scripture: Daniel 12:3 Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

Troparia (From the Canon for Apocreos): Ode I
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church #82 (1902) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 First Line: When with Powers of heaven attending Lyrics:
When with Powers of heaven attending,
Angel hosts ten thousand strong,
Christ the Lord to earth descending,
Brings the hour expected long;
Rising to the clouds in air,
Give us grace to meet Thee there.
When for Judgment, earth awaiting
Looks towards the awful throne,
Word nor deed of mine relating,
Ne'er my penitence disown;
From the ill in life I've done,
Save me, Thou Almighty One.

How Delightful Are Your Dwellings
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus only
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #86 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus only
Can my heart-felt longing still;
Without Him my soul is lonely,
And I wish what Jesus will.
For my heart, which He hath filled,
Ever cries: Lord, as Thou wilt.
2 One it is for whom I'm living,
Whom I'm loving faithfully;
Jesus, unto whom I'm giving
What in love He gave to me.
Jesus' blood hides all my guilt;
Lord, O lead me as Thou wilt.
3 Seems a thing to me a treasure,
Which displeasing is to Thee,
Then remove such dangerous pleasure;
Give instead what profits me.
Let my heart by Thee be stilled,
Make me Thine, Lord, as Thou wilt.
4 Grant that always I endeavor
Thy good pleasure to fulfill,
In me, through me, with me ever,
Lord, accomplish Thou Thy will.
Let me die, Lord, on Thee built,
When, and where, and as Thou wilt.
5 Lord, my praise shall be unceasing,
For Thou gav'st thyself to me,
And besides so many a blessing,
That I sing now joyfully:
Be it unto me, my Shield,
As Thou wilt, Lord, as Thou wilt. Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #87 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 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 meek, and lowly
lived on earth our Savior 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 feels for all our sadness,
and he shares in all 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 has gone.
5 Not in that poor lowly stable
with the oxen standing by
we shall see him, but in heaven,
set at God’s right hand on high;
there his children gather round,
bright like stars, with glory crowned. Topics: Biblical Names and Places David; Biblical Names and Places Mary; Church Year Christmas; Jesus Christ Example Scripture: Luke 2:4-7 Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

He Is Risen
Author: Cecil F. Alexander, 1823-1895 Hymnal: Hymns for Youth #93 (1966) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 First Line: He is risen! He is risen! Lyrics: 1. He is risen! He is risen!
Tell it with a joyful voice;
He has burst His three days' prison;
Let the whole wide earth rejoice.
Death is conquered, man is free,
Christ has won the victory.
2. Tell it to the sinners, weeping
Over deeds in darkness done,
Weary watch of sorrow keeping,
Brightly breaks their Easter sun.
Blood can wash all sins away,
Christ has conquered hell today.
3. Come, with high and holy gladness,
Chant our Lord's triumphant lay;
Not one touch of twilight sadness
Dims His resurrection day.
Brightly dawns the radiant east,
Brighter far our Easter feast.
4. He is risen! He is risen!
He has opened heaven's gate;
We are free from sin's dark prison,
Risen to a holier state.
Soon a brighter Easter beam
On our longing eyes shall stream. Languages: English Tune Title: UNSER HERRSCHER (NEANDER)
He Is Risen
