BE 136 E YE joyful, earth and sky, Unto us God's Son came nigh, He for our salvation Left God's habitation, Yes, He left God's habitation. 2 Here the fairest Rose we see, Blooming forth from Jesse's tree, He for our salvation Yes, He left God's habitation. 3 He, the great incarnate Word, Jesus Christ doth help afford, He for our salvation Left God's habitation, Yes, He left God's habitation. Anon. H. Brueckner, Tr. 137 AS S JOSEPH was a-walking, This night shall be the birthday 2 He neither shall be bornen 3 He neither shall be clothéd 4 He neither shall be rockéd 5 As Joseph was a-walking 6 Then be ye glad, good people, 138 ALL my heart this night rejoices, As I hear, Far and near, Sweetest angel voices; Anon. "Christ is born," their choirs are singing, Till the air Ev'rywhere Now with joy is ringing. 2 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. 3 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. P. Gerhardt. C. Winkworth, Tr. 139 JESUS! ESUS! Name of wondrous love, 2 Jesus! Name of priceless worth 4 Jesus! Only name that's given 5 Jesus! Name of wondrous love! 140 ROM glory unto glory! FROM Be this our joyous song; W. W. How. We bravely march along: O word of stirring cheer, 2 From glory unto glory! What great things He hath done! What mighty blessings crown 3 The fulness of His blessing Is beaming from above, While more and more are taught of God To know that mighty love. 4 And closer yet and closer And wider yet and wider shall As more and more are taught of God That mighty love to know. |
