Incarnation

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #313 (1884) Topics: Advent of Christ At Birth; Advent of Christ At Birth; Advent of Christ At Birth First Line: Before the heavens were spread abroad Lyrics: 1 Before the heavens were spread abroad, From everlasting was the Word; With God he was, the Word was God! And must divinely be adored. 2 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars: His generation who can tell, Or count the number of his years? 3 But lo! he leaves those heavenly forms: The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may converse hold with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. 4 Mortals with joy behold his face, The eternal Father's only Son: How full of truth, how full of grace, When in his eyes the Godhead shone! 5 Archangels leave their high abode, To learn new mysteries here, and tell The love of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel.

Making this poor earth his home; Come to bear our sin's sad load; Son of David, Son of God! He has come, whose name of grace Speaks deliverance to our race; Left for us his glad abode; Son of Mary, Son of God! 3 Unto us a child is born! Ne'er has earth beheld a morn, Among all the morns of time, Half so glorious in its prime. Unto us a Son is given!

Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks From every host, from every gem; But one alone the Saviour speaks,-- It is the Star of Bethlehem. 2 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud, the night was dark, The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed The wind that tossed my foundering bark. Deep horror then my vitals froze; Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem; When suddenly a star arose, It was the Star of Bethlehem! 3 It was my guide, my light, my all; It bade my dark forebodings cease, And through the storm and danger's thrall It led me to the port of peace. Now safely moored, my perils o'er, I'll sing, first in night's diadem, For ever and for evermore, The Star, the Star of Bethlehem! Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

When peace shall over all the earth Its final splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing! Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL
