Jesus! the very thought of Thee
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Edward Caswell Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #284a (1908) Topics: Sunday after Christmas Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the mem'ry find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
O Savior of mankind!
3 O hope of ev'ry contrite heart,
O Joy of all the meek!
To those who fall, how kind Thou art,
How good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? ah, this
Nor tongue nor pen can show.
The Love of Jesus, what it is,
None but His loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only Joy be Thou!
As Thou our Prize wilt be:
Jesus, be Thou our Glory now,
And through eternity! Languages: English Tune Title: EVAN

Thou Prince of Life, Thou Fount of Grace,
With all Thy saints, Thee, Lord, we sing;

How many a heart hath longed for Thee!
And Thou, O long expected Guest,
Hast come at last to make us blest!

In lowly manger liest Thou:
A Child, yet makest all things great;
Poor, yet the earth Thy robe of state.

From sin and grief O set me free!
Turn wrath away, dread death destroy,
And turn my sorrow into joy.
5 Thou art my Head, my Lord divine:
I am Thy member, wholly Thine;
And by Thy Spirit’s strength gracious power
Will seek to serve Thee evermore.

A great and mighty wonder
Author: St. Anatolius; John Mason Neale, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #35a (1908) Topics: Sunday after Christmas Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder
Our Christmas festal brings:
On earth, a lowly Infant,
Behold the King of kings.
2 The Word is made incarnate,
Descending from on high;
And Cherubim to shepherds
Sing anthems from the sky.
3 And we with them triumphant,
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be glory,
And peace on earth to men!"
4 While thus they sing your Monarch,
Those bright angelic bands,
Rejoice, ye vales and mountains!
Ye oceans, clap your hands!
5 Since all He comes to ransom,
By all be He adored,
The Infant born in Bethlehem,
The Savior and the Lord!
6 And idol-forms shall perish,
And error shall decay,
And Christ shall wield His scepter,
Our Lord and God for aye. Languages: English Tune Title: MONARCH (St. Alphege)

Joy to the world; the Lord is come!
Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #134 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sunday after Christmas Lyrics: 1 Joy to the world; the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing.
2 Joy to the earth; the Saviour reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy.
3 No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground.
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found.
4 He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His Righteousness,
And wonders of His Love. Scripture: Psalm 98 Languages: English Tune Title: HARTMANN

Now praise we Christ, the Holy One
Author: Dr. M. Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #30 (1908) Topics: Sunday after Christmas Lyrics: 1 Now praise we Christ, the Holy One,
The spotless virgin Mary’s Son,
Far as the glorious sun doth shine,
E’en to the world’s remote confine.
2 He who Himself all things did make,
A servant’s form vouchsafed to take,
That He as man mankind might win,
And save His creatures from their sin.
3 The grace of God, the mighty Lord,
On the chaste mother was outpoured;
A virgin pure and undefiled
In wondrous wise conceived a child.
4 The holy maid became th'abode
And temple of the living God,
And she, who knew not man, was blest
With God's own Word made manifest.
5 The noble mother bore a Son,
For so did Gabriel’s promise run,
Whom John confessed, and leapt with joy,
Ere yet the mother knew her boy.
6 In a rude manger stretched on hay,
In poverty content He lay;
With milk was fed the Lord of all,
Who feeds the ravens when they call.
7 Th'angelic choirs rejoice, and raise
Their voice to God in songs of praise;
To humble shepherds is proclaimed
The Shepherd who the world hath framed.
8 Honor to Thee, O Christ, be paid,
Pure offspring of a holy maid,
With Father, and the Holy Ghost,
Till time in time's abyss be lost. Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO
Now praise we Christ, the Holy One
