Joyful, all ye nations, rise, join the triumph of the skies; with the angelic host proclaim, 'Christ is born in Bethlehem.' Refrain: Hark, the herald angels sing glory to the new-born King. 2 Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, late in time behold him come, offspring of a Virgin's womb! Veiled in flesh the Godhead see: Hail the incarnate Deity, pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel. [Refrain] 3 Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail, the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, risen with healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by, born that man no more may die, born to raise the sons of earth, born to give them second birth.

I Am His, and He Is Mine

Author: George W. Robinson Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 95 hymnals First Line: Loved with everlasting love Lyrics: 1. Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know; Gracious Spirit from above, Thou hast taught me it is so! O this full and perfect peace! O this transport all divine! In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine. In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine. 2. Heav’n above is softer blue, Earth around is sweeter green! Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen; Birds with gladder songs o’erflow, flowers with deeper beauties shine, Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine. Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine. 3. Things that once were wild alarms cannot now disturb my rest; Closed in everlasting arms, pillowed on the loving breast. O to lie forever here, doubt and care and self resign, While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine. While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine. 4. His forever, only His; who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart! Heav’n and earth may fade and flee, firstborn light in gloom decline; But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine. But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine.

One Named Lazarus

Author: Susan H. Peterson Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: One named Lazarus was sick Lyrics: 1. One named Lazarus was sick; his two sisters feared he’d die. So to Jesus they sent word, hoping He would soon come nigh. But when He received their word, two more days He did abide. He said, This won’t end in death; rather, I’ll be glorified. This is for God’s glory great; through it I’ll be glorified. 2. Now when Jesus finally came, Laz’rus had been dead four days. Martha went to welcome Him, asking why He’d stayed away. She said, Lord, if You’d been here, my dear brother still would live. But I know that even now, all you ask, God will now give. Though he’s dead, yet still I know, all You ask, God will now give. 3. Resurrection and the life— I am both, Jesus did say. He who does believe in Me, he will live beyond the grave. He who lives, believes in Me, he will ne’er to death succumb. Martha said, You are the Christ; You’re the One who was to come. You’re the Christ, the Son of God; You’re the One who was to come. 4. Martha then her sister called; Mary went to meet the Lord. When she reached Him, knelt in tears, seeking comfort from His word. Jesus, deeply moved, did ask, Where have you his body laid? And He wept when He did see, for His love was very great. Jesus wept and shared their grief, for His love was very great. 5. Jesus then approached the tomb. Take away the stone, He said. But, said Martha, there’s a stench, for four days he has been dead. Jesus said, You now will see God’s great glory—just believe. So they took away the stone, and He prayed, May they believe; Father, thank You, You have heard; may they now in Me believe. 6. Jesus then did give command; in a loud voice He did say, Laz’rus, come out of the tomb! And the dead man did obey. Both his hands and feet were bound, and a cloth did hide his face. Take the grave clothes; let him go, Jesus said to those amazed. Said I not, believe and see God’s great glory in this place? 7. Just as Jesus gave new life to a man when he was dead, He can do the same for all who believe what He has said. For we all in sin are dead; resurrection life we need. Jesus died and rose again, that we might from sin be freed. All who put their trust in Him will not die but live indeed.

Earth To Earth, And Dust To Dust

Author: George Croly, 178-=1860 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Earth to earth, and dust to dust Here the evil and the just, Here the youthful and the old, Here the fearful and the bold, Here the matron and the maid, In one silent bed are laid; Here the vassal and the king Side by side lie withering; Here the sword and scepter rust— Earth to earth and dust to dust! 2 Age on age shall roll along O’er this pale and mighty throng; Those that wept them, those that weep, All shall with these sleepers sleep; Brothers, sisters of the worm, Summer’s storm, or winter’s storm, Song of peace, or battle’s roar, Ne’er shall break their slumbers more; Death shall keep his solemn trust— Earth to earth, and dust to dust. 3 But a day is coming fast, Earth, thy mightiest and thy last; It shall come and fear and wonder, Heralded by trump and thunder; It shall come in strife and toil; It shall come in blood and spoil; It shall come in empire’s groans, Burning temples, trampled thrones. Then, Ambition, rue thy lust! Earth to earth and dust to dust! 4 Then shall come the judgment sign, In the east the King shall shine; Flashing from Heav’n’s golden gate, Thousand thousands round His state; Spirits with the crown and plume, Tremble then, thou sullen tomb! Heav’n shall open on our sight, Earth be turned to living light, Kingdoms of the ransomed just— Earth to earth, and dust to dust. 5 Then shall, gorgeous as a gem, Shine thy mount, Jerusalem; Then shall in the desert rise Fruits of more than paradise; Earth by angel feet be trod, One great garden of her God; Till are dried the martyr’s tears Through a glorious thousand years. Now in hope of Him we trust— Earth to earth, and dust to dust!
