It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 927 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heav'n's all-gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heav'nly music floats o'er all the weary world; above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hov'ring wing, and ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. 3 O ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow; look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing. O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing. 4 For lo! the days are hast'ning on, by prophet bards foretold, when with the ever-circling years comes round the age of gold, when the new heav'n and earth shall own the Prince of Peace their King and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.

Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894 Appears in 838 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne; hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless king through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Virgin's Son, the God incarnate born, whose arm those crimson trophies won which now his brow adorn: Fruit of the mystic Rose, as of that Rose the Stem; the Root whence mercy ever flows, the Babe of Bethlehem. 3 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, those wounds yet visible above in beauty glorified: no angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a sceptre sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise: his reign shall know no end, and round his piercèd feet fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time, creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime: all hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 430 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 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 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 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 heav'n 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: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas; Christ's Example Used With Tune: IRBY

Join all the glorious names

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 344 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25 Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names of wisdom, love, and power, that ever mortals knew, that angels ever bore: all are too mean to speak his worth, too mean to set my Saviour forth. 2 But O what gentle terms, what condescending ways doth our Redeemer use to teach his heavenly grace! Mine eyes with joy and wonder see what forms of love he bears for me. 3 Arrayed in mortal flesh, he like an Angel stands, and holds his promises and pardons in his hands; commissioned from his Father's throne to make his grace to mortals known. 4 Great Prophet of my God, my tongue would bless thy name; by thee the joyful news of our salvation came: the joyful news of sins forgiven, of hell subdued and peace with heaven. 5 Be thou my Counsellor, my Pattern, and my Guide; and through this desert land still keep me near thy side: O let my feet ne'er run astray, nor rove, nor seek the crooked way. 6 I love my Shepherd's voice, his watchful eyes shall keep my wandering soul among the thousands of his sheep: he feeds his flock, he calls their names his bosom bears the tender lambs. 7 To this dear Surety's hand will I commit my cause; he answers and fulfils his Father's broken laws: behold my soul at freedom set! my Surety paid the dreadful debt. 8 Jesus my great High-Priest offered his blood and died; my guilty conscience seeks no sacrifice beside: his powerful blood did once atone and now it pleads before the throne. 9 My Advocate appears for my defence on high; the Father bows his ear and lays his thunder by: not all that hell or sin can say shall turn his heart, his love away. 10 My dear almighty Lord, my Conqueror and my King, thy sceptre and thy sword, thy reigning grace I sing. Thine is the power, behold I sit in willing bonds before thy feet. 11 Now let my soul arise, and tread the tempter down; my Captain leads me forth to conquest and a crown. A feeble saint shall win the day, though death and hell obstruct the way. 12 Should all the hosts of death, and powers of hell unknown, put their most dreadful forms of rage and mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays superior power, and guardian-grace.
