Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott, 1836-1897 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #25 (1957) Topics: Christ Birth of First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Refrain First Line: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus! Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown When Thou camest to earth for me; But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room For Thy holy nativity: Refrain: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus! There is room in my heart for Thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But in lowly birth Thou didst come to earth, And in great humility: (Refrain) 3 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word That should set Thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary: (Refrain) 4 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing, At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying, "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee:" My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus! When Thou comest and callest for me. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MARGARET

As with Gladness, Men of Old

Author: William C. Dix, 1837-1898 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #28 (1957) Topics: Christ Birth of First Line: As with gladness men of old Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright, So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger bed, There to bend the knee before Thee whom heav'n and earth adore, So, may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare, So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heav'nly King. 4 Holy Jesus, ev'ry day Keep us in the narrow way; And when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: DIX

A Child is Born, the Birth Proclaim

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #33 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Christ Birth of Lyrics: A child is born,--the birth proclaim, A son is given,--declare his name; Messiah, from the Fall foretold, The Deity in human mould; --That mould from which, God's image lost In Eden at so dire a cost, The new creation shall restore, And guilt efface its lines no more. Hail! to His rising from afar, He is the bright and morning star; His healing beams, ye nations, bless, He is the Sun of Righteousness To save His people from their sins, Jesus His suffering life begins; Ere long as Christ our sacrifice, The Holy and the Just One dies. Again His glorious name record, As David's Son and David's Lord; He mounts the mediatorial throne, To claim earth's kingdoms for his own: Him every eye again shall see Descend in power and majesty, His ransom'd in the clouds to meet, And put all foes beneath his feet.

The First Noel, the Angel Did Say

Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #34 (1957) Topics: Christ Birth of Refrain First Line: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Lyrics: 1 The first Noel, the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Refrain: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. 2 They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. (Refrain) 3 And by the light of that same star Three wise came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. (Refrain) 4 This star drew nigh to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. (Refrain) 5 Then entered in those wise men three, Full rev'rently upon their knee, And offered there, in His presence Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. (Refrain) 6 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord, That hath made heav'n and earth of naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought. (Refrain) Languages: English Tune Title: THE FIRST NOEL

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #35 (1957) Topics: Christ Birth of 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 lonely plains They bend on hovering wing: And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And 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 hastening on, By prophet-bards foretold, When, with the ever-circling years, Comes round the age of gold: When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL
