Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

Author: Gerard Moultrie Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #107 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Jesus Christ Incarnation Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand; ponder nothing earthly minded, for with blessing in His hand, Christ our God to earth descendeth, our full homage to demand. 2 King of kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth He stood, Lord of lords, in human vesture-- in the body and the blood. He will give to all the faithful His own self for heav'nly food. 3 Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way, as the Light of light descendeth from the realms of endless day, that the pow'rs of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away. 4 At His feet the six-winged seraph, cherubim, with sleepless eye, veil their faces to the Presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry, “Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, Lord most high!” Languages: English Tune Title: PICARDY

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #120 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Jesus Christ Incarnation 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 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 is gone. 4 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; when like stars His children crowned all in white shall wait around.

Author: Theodore Baker; Harriet Spaeth; John Mattes Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #125 (2017) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Topics: Jesus Christ Incarnation Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a rose e'er blooming from tender stem hath sprung, of Jesse's lineage coming, as men of old have sung. It came, a flower bright, amid the cold of winter, when half spent was the night. 2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it, the rose I have in mind, with Mary we behold it, the virgin mother kind. To show God's love aright she bore to men a Savior, when half spent was the night. 3 The shepherds heard the story, proclaimed by angels bright, how Christ, the Lord of glory, was born on earth this night. To Bethlehem they sped and in the manger found Him, as angel heralds said. 4 This flow'r, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, dispels with glorious splendor the darkness ev'rywhere. True man, yet very God; from sin and death He saves us and lightens ev'ry load. 5 O Savior, child of Mary, who felt our human woe; O Savior, King of glory, who dost our weakness know, bring us at last, we pray, to the bright courts of heaven and to Thy endless day.

All My Heart This Night Rejoices

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #130 (2017) Meter: 8.3.3.6.7.3.3.6 Topics: Jesus Christ Incarnation Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night rejoices as I hear far and near sweetest angel voices. "Christ is born," their choirs are singing till the air ev'rywhere now with joy is ringing. 2 Forth today the Conqu'ror goeth, who the foe, sin and woe, death and hell, o'erthroweth. God is man, man to deliver; His dear Son now is one with our blood forever. 3 Shall we still dread God's displeasure, who, to save, freely gave His most cherished Treasure? To redeem us, He hath given His own Son from the throne of His might in heaven. 4 He becomes the Lamb that taketh sin away and for aye full atonement maketh. For our life His own He tenders; and our race, by His grace, fit for glory renders. 5 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, soft and sweet, doth entreat, "Flee from woe and danger; brethren, from all ills that grieve you you are freed; all you need I will surely give you." 6 Come, then, banish all your sadness, one and all, great and small; come with songs of gladness. Love Him who with love is glowing; hail the star, near and far light and joy bestowing. 7 Dearest Lord, Thee will I cherish. Though my breath fail in death, yet I shall not perish, but with Thee abide for ever there on high, in that joy which can vanish never. Languages: English Tune Title: WARUM SOLLT' ICH MICH DENN GRAMEN
