Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem

Author: Michael Arnold Perry (1942-1996) Meter: Irregular Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Christ Incarnate Christmas and Epiphany First Line: See him lying on a bed of straw Lyrics: 1 See him lying on a bed of straw: a draughty stable with an open door; Mary cradling the babe she bore - the Prince of glory is his name. Refrain: Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem to see the Lord of love again: just as poor as was the stable then, the Prince of glory when he came. 2 Star of silver, sweep across the skies, show where Jesus in the manger lies; shepherds, swiftly from your stupor rise to see the Saviour of the world! [Refrain] 3 Angels, sing again the song you sang, sing the glory of God's gracious plan; sing that Bethl'em's little baby can be the saviour of us all. 4 Mine are riches, from your poverty, from your innocence, eternity; mine, forgiveness by your death for me, child of sorrow for my joy. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:9 Used With Tune: CALYPSO CAROL

Built on the Rock

Author: Carl Doving; Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: Christ Incarnation First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand, Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in every land, Bells still are chiming and calling; Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distressed, Longing for rest everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands, God, the Most High, is not dwelling, High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet He whom heavens cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men, Built in our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Builded for His habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns, Heirs of His wondrous salvation; Were we but two His name to tell, Yet He would deign with us to dwell, With all His grace and His favor. 4 Now we may gather with our King; E'en in the lowliest dwelling; Praises to Him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy forth-telling; Jesus His grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hollow the temple. 5 Still we our earthly temples rear, That we may herald His praises; They are the homes where He draws near And little children embraces, Beautiful things in them are said, God there with us His covenant made, Making us heirs of His Kingdom. Amen. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:19 Used With Tune: BUILT ON THE ROCK

O How Shall I Receive Thee?

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Christ Incarnation; Incarnation of Christ First Line: O how shall I receive Thee Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee, How greet Thee, Lord, aright? All nations long to see Thee, My Hope, my heart's Delight! O kindle, Lord most holy, Thy lamp within my breast, To do in spirit lowly All that may please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, And branches fresh and fair; My heart, its powers renewing, An anthem shall prepare. My soul puts off her sadness Thy glories to proclaim; With all her strength and gladness She fain would serve Thy Name. 3 I lay in fetters groaning, Thou com'st to set me free; I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com'st to honor me. A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thine incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me; Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom; He who alone can cheer you, Is standing at the door; He brings His pity near you, And bids you weep no more. Amen. Scripture: Haggai 2:7 Used With Tune: O, DU MITT HJÄRTAS TRÄNGTAN

Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Alleluia! 5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia!
