An all time favorite is 'Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light' written by Johann Rist, in 1641 (inspired by
Isaiah 58) the music was later added by Johann Sebastian Bach.
'The Nativity Story'
Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light
Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light,
And usher in the morning;
O shepherds, shrink not with afright,
But hear the angel's warning.
This Child, now weak in infancy,
Our confidence and joy shall be,
The power of Satan breaking,
Our peace eternal making.
This night of wonder, night of joy,
was born the Christ, our brother;
he comes, not mighty to destroy,
to bid us love each other.
How could he quit his kingly state
for such a world of greed and hate?
What deep humiliation
secured the world's salvation!
Come, dearest child, into our hearts,
and leave your crib behind you!
Let this be where the new life starts
for all who seek and find you.
To you the honor, thanks, and praise,
for all your gifts this time of grace;
come, conquer and deliver
this world, and us, forever.
To: All
Think I need to make a correction on the last post, the song was inspired by
Isaiah 9
