Thou shalt call His name Jesus.

JE

ESUS! Name of wondrous love,
Name all other names above,
Unto which must every knee
Bow in deep humility.

Jesus! Name decreed of old,
To the maiden-mother told,
Kneeling in her lonely cell,
By the angel Gabriel.

Jesus! Name of priceless worth
To the fallen sons of earth,
For the promise that it gave,
"Jesus shall His people save."

Jesus! Name of mercy mild,
Given to the Holy Child
When the cup of human woe
First He tasted here below.

Jesus! only Name that's given
Under all the mighty heaven,
Whereby man, to sin enslaved,
Bursts his fetters, and is saved.

Jesus! Name of wondrous love;
Human name of God above;
Pleading only thus we flee,
Helpless, O our God, to Thee.

Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,
and see this thing which is come to

pass.

28

COME, all ye faithful,
Joyfully triumphant,

To Bethlehem hasten with glad accord:
He lies in a manger,

The Monarch of Angels;

O come, let us adore Him!
O come, let us adore Him!

P.M.

O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!

Very God of very God,
Light of Light eternal,

The Virgin's womb He hath not abhorred;
True God everlasting,

Not made, but begotten;
O come, let us adore Him!
O come, let us adore Him!

O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!

Sing, chorus of angels,

Sing in exultation,

And let the high song through heaven be poured;

To God in the highest

Be honour and glory;
O come, let us adore Him!

O come, let us adore Him!

O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!

29

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning;

For ever, O Christ, be Thy name adored;
True Word of the Father,
Late in flesh appearing ;
O come, let us adore Him!
O come, let us adore Him!

O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!

Unto you is born this day, in the city of
David, a Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord.

HILE shepherds watched their flocks by night,

All seated on the ground,

The angel of the Lord came down,

And glory shone around.

"Fear not," said he; for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds,
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
То you and all mankind.

"To you, in David's town, this day,
Is born of David's line,

The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign.

"The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,

All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid."

Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:

"All glory be to God on high,
And in the earth be peace,

Good-will henceforth from heaven to men Begin, and never cease."

Circumcision.

Thou shalt call His Name Jesus, for He
shall save His people from their sins.

ONQUERING kings their titles take

the foes they captive make;

Jesus, by a nobler deed,

From the thousands He hath freed.

So, no other name is given

Unto mortals under heaven,

Which can make the dead arise,

And exalt them to the skies.

That which Christ so hardly wrought,
That which He so dearly bought,
That salvation, mortals, say,

Will ye madly cast away?

Rather gladly, for that name,

Bear the cross, endure the shame,
Joyfully for Him to die

Is not death, but victory.

Jesu, who dost condescend
To be called the sinner's Friend,
Hear us, as to Thee we pray,
Glorying in Thy Name to-day.
