2.O Son of God on high, He brought us salvation.

For Thee I weep and sigh. All heaven's ecstasy.
Comfort my sad spirit, O that we were there!
O fairest, purest Child.
Through Thy grace and merit, 4. Where are those mansions fair?
O Jesus meek and mild. In that blest yonder, where
Draw me hence to Thee. Angel choirs are singing
3. How
rich His love God proves! Around the Christ-child dear.
The Son our guilt removes. And their harps keep ringing
When man's sinful nation In heaven sweet and clear.
Lay dead in vanity, O that we were there!

2.Zion's King in sore compassion, 4..See, that Child in yonder manger

Comes, though just, in servant's fashion Frees the world from sin and danger;
To us sinners, all transgressing, Our Lord Savior comes from heaven;
He brings grace and heavenly blessing. Now through faith are sins forgiven.
Chorus Chorus:
He brings grace. He brings grace. Now through faith, now through faith.
He brings grace and heavenly blessing. Now through faith are sins forgiven.
3. See, here is our consolation, 5.Naught can pay Thee, well Thou knowest,
God has heard our supplication; For the love and grace Thou showest.
As He swore in many places, Naught but woe Thou here receivest.
God's own Son our flesh embraces. For the throne which there Thou leavest.
Chorus: Chorus:
God's ow^n Son, God's own Son, For the throne, for the throne,

2. List while I tell:
The Lord to earth was given.
The Savior, who with holy light,
Led lost and sinful man aright
And brought him back to heaven.
3. His gracious rays illume the earth,
The night of fear dispelling,
Your Christmas gifts, your joyous mirth
1
one glorious night, To-day the Christ-child sends to earth.
Come make your heart His dwelling.
4. O let Him in! 'tis not a dream;
Your heart shall be His garden,
Wherein shall grow a tree most fair,
Protected by His tender care.
And yielding peace and pardon.

Shepherds quake at the sight! Son of God, loves pure light!
Glories stream from heaven afar, Radiant beams from Thy holy Face,
Heav'nly hosts sing Hallelujah, With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Christ the Savior, is born, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Christ the Savior, is bom. Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

Christ, the everlasting Lord: Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!
Late in time behold Him come, Light and life to all He brings,
Offspring of a virgin's womb! Ris'n with healing in His wings.
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see, Mild He lays His glory by.
Hail the incarnate Deity! Born that man no more may die;
Pleased as Man with men to dwell Born to raise the sons of earth;

Watching o'er your flocks by night; Ye have seen His natal star.
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the heav'nly Light. 4. Saints, before the altar bending.
Watching long in hope and fear,

Savior, great and holy, 3.Thou precious Gift from heaven
How wondrous is Thy love! Be Thou our one and all,
To sinners, poor and lowly, The dearest Treasure given,
Thou comest from above. Though cradled in a stall.
So, let us now adore Thee And grant that every nation
With hearts, unfeigned and true. And every child on earth,
And ever sing before Thee, Rejoice in Thy salvation.
Glad melodies anew. And in Thy holy birth.

2. For Christ is born of Mary, 3. How silently, how silently,

And gathered above, all The wondrous gift is given!
While mortals sleep, the angels keep So God imparts to human hearts
Their watch of wondering love. The blessings of His heaven.
O morning stars, together No ear may hear His coming,
Proclaim the holy birth! But in the world of sin.
And praises sing to God our King, Where meek souls will receive Him still,
And peace to men on earth. 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 Christmas angels.
The great glad tidings tell:
O come to us, abide with us.
Our Lord Emmanuel!

What the many presents tell:
Christ the precious Gift from heaven
God on Christmas day has
3. See the green and living branches
On the brilliant Christmas tree!
Though the frost of winter changes
Life to death most cruelly.
Little children, mark you well,
What the living branches tell:
Christ the precious Life from heaven
given. God on Christmas day has given.

2. The Christmas
tree is blazing 3.Thy sweet and hallowed story,
Itsgreetings through the night; O precious Christmas-tide,
And happy folks are gazing Thy holy bliss and glory.
With visions in their sight; May evermore abide!
And children's eyes are streaming No richer joy is given.
With tears of radiant joy; No purer peace on earth
And every heart is dreaming Than which is come from heaven
Of love without alloy. By Jesus' wondrous birth.

2. Rejoice ye, then, that through His Son 3. Not one He will, nor can, forsake
God is with sinners now at one; Who Him his confidant doth make;
Made like yourselves of flesh and blood, E'en if their worst your en'mies try,
Your brother is th' eternal God. Ye may their pow'rless rage defy.
What harm can sin and death then do Ye must prevail at last, for ye
The true God now abides with you. Have now become God's family;
Let hell and Satan rage and chafe, To God forever give ye praise,
God is your brother ye are safe. — Patient and cheerful all your days.

2. With joy I gaze upon Thy face; 3.O grant me this abundant grace-
Thy glory and Thy splendor Ihope 'twill meet Thy pleasure
Is greater than my heart can praise That I may be Thy dwelling place,
And songs can fitly render, Dear Savior, sweetest Treasure.
O how I wish my mind would be O let me be Thy manger-bed,
As boundless as the deepest sea, Then shall I lift my lowly head
'Twould still be lost in wonder. With Joy beyond all measure.

2.The cattle are lowing, 3. Be near me. Lord Jesus,

The poor baby wakes. I ask Thee to stay
But little Lord Jesus Close by me forever,
No crying He makes. And love me, I pray.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, Bless all the dear children
Look down from the sky, In Thy tender care,
And stay by my cradle And take us to heaven.
Till morning is nigh. To live with Thee there.
