Sometimes Christmas hymns feel so familiar that I miss the beauty in their lyrics. Soak in these less known phrases from common carols and draw your hearts to worship—rejoice with the saints of history before His throne!
Paul Gerhardt, 1653
Shall we still dread God’s displeasure, who to save freely gave his most cherished treasure?
Martin Luther, 1524
A little child, thou art our guest, that weary ones in thee may rest
Martin Luther, 1535
This little child of lowly birth shall be the joy of all the earth.
German hymn, @ 1500
This flower whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, dispels with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere.
Isaac Watts, 1719
He comes to make His blessing flow far as the curse is found
Charles Wesley, 1739
God and sinners reconciled
William Dix, 1865
Nails, spear, shall pierce him through, the cross be borne for me, for you
