  The Lord unto His Christ has said, “Sit Thou at My right hand, Until I make Thine enemies Submit to Thy command. A scepter prospered by the Lord Thy mighty hand shall wield; From Zion Thou shalt rule the world, And all Thy foes shall yield. “Thy people will be gladly Thine When Thou shalt come in might, Like dawning day, like hopeful youth, With holy beauty bright. A priesthood that shall never end The Lord has given Thee; This He has sworn, and evermore Fulfilled His Word shall be. “Thou shalt subdue the kings of earth With God at Thy right hand; The nations Thou shalt rule in might And judge in every land.” The Christ, refreshed by living streams, Shall neither faint nor fall, And He shall be the glorious Head, Exalted over all.

• [Mzm 110:1] Unto My Lord Jehovah Said

  Unto my Lord Jehovah said, “At My right hand I throne Thee, Till at Thy feet, in triumph laid, Thy foes their Ruler crown Thee.” From Zion shall Jehovah send Thy scepter, till before Thee bend The knees of proud rebellion. Thy saints, to greet Thy day of might, In holy raiment muster; As dewdrops in the morning light Thy youths around Thee cluster. Jehovah sware and made decree, “Thou, King of Righteousness, shalt be A royal Priest forever.” The Lord at Thy right hand shall bring On rulers desolation; The Lord shall smite each heathen king, And judge each rebel nation. He, swiftly marching in His wrath, Shall quaff the brook upon His path, And lift His head in glory.

• [Yes 7:14] Behold, The Grace Appears!

  Behold, the grace appears! The promise is fulfilled; Mary, the wondrous virgin, bears, And Jesus is the Child. The Lord, the highest God, Calls Him His only Son; He bids Him rule the lands abroad, And gives Him David’s throne. O’er Jacob shall He reign With a peculiar sway; The nations shall His grace obtain, His kingdom ne’er decay. To bring the glorious news A heav’nly form appears; He tells the shepherds of their joys, And banishes their fears. “Go, humble swains,” said he, “To David’s city fly; The promised Infant born today Doth in a manger lie.” “With looks and hearts serene, Go visit Christ your King; And straight a flaming troop was seen: The shepherds heard them sing: “Glory to God on high! And heav’nly peace on earth; Goodwill to men, to angels joy, At the Redeemer’s birth!” In worship so divine, Let saints employ their tongues; With the celestial hosts we join, And loud repeat their songs: “Glory to God on high! And heav’nly peace on earth; Goodwill to men, to angels joy, At our Redeemer’s birth!”

• [Yes 7:14] From Lands That See The Sun Arise

  From lands that see the sun arise, To earth’s remotest boundaries, The virgin born today we sing, The Son of Mary, Christ the King. Blest Author of this earthly frame, To take a servant’s form He came, That liberating flesh by flesh, Whom He had made might live afresh. In that chaste parent’s holy womb, Celestial grace hath found its home: And she, as earthly bride unknown, Yet call that Offspring blest her own. The mansion of the modest breast Becomes a shrine where God shall rest: The pure and undefiled one Conceived in her womb the Son. That Son, that royal Son she bore, Whom Gabriel’s voice had told afore: Whom, in his Mother yet concealed, The Infant Baptist had revealed. The manger and the straw He bore, The cradle did He not abhor: A little milk His infant fare Who feedeth even each fowl of air. The heavenly chorus filled the sky, The angels sang to God on high, What time to shepherds watching lone They made creation’s Shepherd known. All honor, laud, and glory be, O Jesu, virgin born, to Thee; All glory, as is ever meet, To the Father and to Paraclete.

  Gracious Savior, who didst honor Womankind as woman’s Son; Very Man, though God begotten, And with God the Father One; Grant our womanhood may be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee. Jesus, Son of human mother, Bless our motherhood, we pray; Give us grace to lead our children, Draw them to Thee day by day; May our sons and daughters be Dedicated, Lord, to Thee. Thou Who didst with Joseph labor, Nor didst humble work disdain, Grant we may Thy footsteps follow Patiently through toil and pain; May our quiet home life be Lived, O Lord, in Thee, to Thee.

  Hush, all ye sounds of war, ye nations all be still, A voice of heav’nly joy steals over vale and hill, O hear the angels sing the captive world’s release, This day is born in Bethlehem the Prince of Peace.

• [Yes 9:6] It Is A Thing Most Wonderful

  It is a thing most wonderful, Almost too wonderful to be, That God’s own Son should come from Heav’n, And die to save a child like me. And yet I know that it is true; He chose a poor and humble lot, And wept, and toiled, and mourned, and died, For love of those who loved Him not. I cannot tell how He could love A child so weak and full of sin; His love must be most wonderful, If He could die my love to win. I sometimes think about the cross, And shut my eyes, and try to see The cruel nails and crown of thorns, And Jesus crucified for me. But even could I see Him die, I could but see a little part Of that great love, which, like a fire, Is always burning in His heart. It is most wonderful to know His love for me so free and sure; But ’tis more wonderful to see My love for Him so faint and poor. And yet I want to love Thee, Lord; Oh, light the flame within my heart, And I will love Thee more and more, Until I see Thee as Thou art.

  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, everywhere, now their joy is ringing. For it dawns, the promised morrow Of His birth, who the earth rescues from her sorrow. God to wear our form descendeth; Of His grace to our race here His Son He sendeth. Yea, so truly for us careth, That His Son, all we’ve done, as our offering beareth; As our Lamb Who, dying for us, Bears our load, and to God, doeth in peace restore us. Hark! a voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, doth entreat, “Flee from woe and danger; Brethren, come; from all that grieves you You are freed; all you need I will surely give you.” Come, then, let us hasten yonder; Here let all, great and small, kneel in awe and wonder, Love Him Who with love is yearning; Hail the star that from far bright with hope is burning. Ye who pine in weary sadness, Weep no more, for the door now is found of gladness. Cling to Him, for He will guide you Where no cross, pain or loss, can again betide you. Hither come, ye poor and wretched: Know His will is to fill every hand outstretchèd; Here are riches without measure, Here forget all regret, fill your hearts with treasure. Blessèd Savior, let me find Thee! Keep Thou me close to Thee, cast me not behind Thee! Life of life, my heart Thou stillest, Calm I rest on Thy breast, all this void Thou fillest. Thee, dear Lord, with heed I’ll cherish; Live to Thee and with Thee, dying, shall not perish; But shall dwell with Thee for ever, Far on high, in the joy that can alter never. Forth today the Conqueror 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. 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. Should He who Himself imparted Aught withhold from the fold, leave us broken hearted? Should the Son of God not love us, Who, to cheer sufferers here, left His throne above us? If our blessèd Lord and Maker Hated men, would He then be of flesh partaker? If He in our woe delighted, Would He bear all the care of our race benighted? 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, meet for glory renders.

• [Luk 2:11] Come Hither, Ye Children

  Come hither, ye children, O come one and all, To Bethlehem haste, to the manger so small; God’s Son for a gift has been sent you this night To be your Redeemer, your joy and delight. He’s born in a stable for you and for me, Draw near by the bright gleaming starlight to see, In swaddling clothes lying, so meek and so mild, And purer than angels—the heavenly Child. See Mary and Joseph with love-beaming eyes Are gazing upon the rude bed where He lies; The shepherds are kneeling, with hearts full of love, While angels sing loud hallelujahs above. Kneel down and adore Him with shepherds today, Lift up little hands now and praise Him as they; Rejoice that a Savior from sin you can boast, And join in the song of the heavenly host. O Jesus, my Savior, what must not be done, What must not be suffered for sin to atone! From infancy sorrow and pain Thou must know Till Thou on the cross tasteth death’s bitter woe. Dear Christ Child, what gifts can we children bestow, By which our affection and gladness to show? No riches and treasures of value can be, But hearts that believe are accepted with Thee. Our hearts, then, to Thee we will offer today, We offer them gladly; accept them we pray, And make them so spotless and pure that we may Abide in Thy presence in Heaven for aye.

  Come, listen to my story, Christus natus hodie: Born is the King of glory, Rex de Virgine. Nowell, Nowell, good news I tell, God comes on earth a stranger: Eya! Emmanuel Lies cradled in a manger. Came angels down, a number, On the midnight of His birth: “Ye shepherds, wake from slumber: Peace, goodwill on earth, And bliss on high,” the angels cry, “To you is born and given, Eya! of maid Marie, Th’almighty Lord of Heaven.” Then rode three kings together, Over desert, hill, and dale: Nought caring for the weather, Sleet, and snow, and hail. They came from far, led by a star, With beams that never vary: Eya! full fain they are To see the Babe of Mary. Away then banish sorrow; Nato Regi psallite; Sith Christ is born this morrow, Benedicte. With angels eke and shepherds meek, And with yon eastern sages, Eya! let us go seek The newborn King of ages.

  Come, shepherds, come! shake off your sleep, And ope your weary eyes; ’Tis time to leave your folded sheep, Come, shepherds, come, arise! Hark! angels clad in bright array, Burst forth in heav’nly song; See! night grows brighter than the day, Lit by their glistening throng. Around the hut wherein I slept A gleam of light was seen. And golden strings of harps were swept By angels clad in sheen. What sounds of joy the air then stirred! What hymns of holy rest! In terra pax above I heard And Christus natus est. We, too, this welcome news did hear From angels in the air, They bade us cast away all fear, And to the town repair. We hastened to the humble stall, The Holy Child we sought; On bended knee each one did fall, And humble offerings brought. Then know, all friends, who wish to see Your sweet Redeemer’s face, Though long, the way full short will be, If ye but ask His grace. No thorns your faithful steps shall stay And light will shine around; All doubts and fears will pass away When Jesus Christ is found.

  I sing the birth was born tonight, The Author both of life and light; The angels so did sound it, And like the ravished shepherds said, Who saw the light, and were afraid, Yet searched, and true they found it. The Son of God, th’eternal King, That did us all salvation bring, And freed the soul from danger; He Whom the whole world could not take, The Word, which Heaven and earth did make, Was now laid in a manger. The Father’s wisdom willed it so, The Son’s obedience knew no “No,” Both wills were in one stature; And as that wisdom had decreed, The Word was now made Flesh indeed, And took on Him our nature. What comfort by Him do we win? Who made Himself the Prince of sin, To make us heirs of glory? To see this Babe, all innocence, A Martyr born in our defense, Can man forget this story?

  Like silver lamps in a distant shrine, The stars are sparkling bright; The bells of the city of God ring out, For the Son of Mary is born tonight. The gloom is past, and the morn at last Is coming with orient light. No earthly songs are half so sweet As those which are filling the skies, And never a palace shone half so fair As the manger-bed where our Savior lies; No night in the year is half so dear As this which has ended our sighs. The stars of heaven still shine as at first They gleamed on this wonderful night, The bells of the city of God peal out, And the angels’ song still rings in the height, And loves still turns where the Godhead burns, Hid in flesh from fleshly sight. Faith sees no longer the stable floor, The pavement of sapphire is there, The clear light of Heaven streams out to the world, And the angels of God are crowding the air, And Heaven and earth, thro’ the spotless birth, Are at peace on this night so fair.
