Charles Wesley

Come to earth to taste our sadness, he whose glories knew no end;_x000D_ by his life he brings us gladness, our Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend._x000D_ Leaving riches without number, born within a cattle stall;_x000D_ this the everlasting wonder, Christ was born the Lord of all.

The Bible must be the invention either of good men or angels, bad men or devils, or of God. However, it was not written by good men, because good men would not tell lies by saying 'Thus saith the Lord;' it was not written by bad men because they would not write about doing good duty, while condemning sin, and themselves to hell; thus, it must be written by divine inspiration

Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees, And looks to God alone; Laughs at impossibilities, And cries it shall be done.

O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace!

And all things as they change proclaim _x000D_ The Lord eternally the same.

Expand Thy wings, celestial Dove, brood o'er our nature's night; on our disordered spirits move, and let there now be light.

Keep us little and unknown, prized and loved by God alone.

HARK how all the Welkin rings_x000D_ "Glory to the Kings of Kings,_x000D_ "Peace on Earth, and Mercy mild,_x000D_ "GOD and Sinners reconcil'd!_x000D_ Joyful all ye Nations rise,_x000D_ Join the Triumph of the Skies,_x000D_ Universal Nature say_x000D_ "CHRIST the LORD is born to Day!

Christ the Lord is risen to-day, Sons of men and angels say. Raise your joys and triumphs high; Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.

Jesus, Thou art all compassion, pure unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, enter every trembling heart.
