Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes!
Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #123 (1917) Topics: Christmas Hymns Lyrics: 1 Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes!
The Saviour promised long;
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.
2 He comes! the prisoners to release,
Of sin's dread sickness healed;
The gates of brass before Him burst,
The iron letter yield.
3 He comes! the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure;
And with the treasures of His grace
To enrich the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With Thy beloved name. Languages: English Tune Title: BYZANTIUM
Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes!
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Author: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #125 (1917) Topics: Christmas Hymns Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
2 "Fear not," said he for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
3 "To you, in David's town, this day
Is born of David's line
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign:
4 "The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid."
5 Thus spake the seraph; and forth with
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace;
Good will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin, and never cease."

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
O little town of Bethlehem
Author: Bp. Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #126 (1917) Topics: Christmas Hymns Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by:
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.
2 For Christ is born of Mary;
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth!
3 How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven:
No ear may hear His coming;
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him, still
The dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in;
Be born in us to-day,
We hear the heavenly angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord, Immanuel. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM
O little town of Bethlehem
When marshalled on the nightly plain
Author: H. Kirke White, 1785-1806 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #127 (1917) Topics: Christmas Hymns Lyrics: 1 When, marshalled on the nightly plain,
The glittering hosts bestud the sky,
One star alone of all the train
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye.
2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks
From every host, from every gem;
But one alone the Saviour speaks,
It is the Star of Bethlehem.
3 In storm and darkness, once I feared,
And, death-struck, ceased the tide to stem,
When suddenly a star appeared,
It was the Star of Bethlehem.
4 It is my guide, my light, my all;
It bids my dark forebodings cease;
And through life's storm and danger's thrall,
It leads me to the port of peace.
5 Thus, safely moored, my perils o'er,
I'll sing first in night's diadem,
For ever, and for evermore,
The Star! the Star of Bethlehem!
Languages: English Tune Title: SIMEON
When marshalled on the nightly plain
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Author: Bp. R. Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #128a (1917) Topics: Christmas Hymns Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on HIs cradle the dew-drops are shining;
Low lies His bed with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore Him, in slumber reclining,
Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all.
3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odours of Edom, and offerings divine?
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation;
Vainly with gifts would His favour secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. Languages: English Tune Title: EPIPHANY

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Thou didst leave Thy throne
Author: Emily E. S. Elliott, 1836-1897 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #130 (1917) Topics: Christmas Hymns 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:
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 of lowly birth
Didst Thou come to earth,
And in great humility;
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee!
3 The foxes found rest,
And the birds had their nest
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was the sod,
O Thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee!
4 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:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
Thy cross is my only plea!
5 When heaven's arches shall ring,
And her choirs shall 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!"
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest and callest for me. Languages: English Tune Title: MARGARET

And makes the nations prove

And wonders of His love.
