Advent Hymn #5: No More Turning From the Child [Reprise]

carl@carlthomasgladstone.com (emergedetroit) — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 19:17:15 +0000

Perhaps a fitting song for this day after Christmas. It speaks of our tendency to turn away from Jesus soon after celebrating his birth, to look for him in the wrong places. The truth of the incarnation is that Jesus comes not through the seats of power, and yet overpowers those seats anyway. Of course his is a power unlike any other which not so much coerces and transforms those that it touches.

No More Turning From The Child
word by Charles Wesley, music by Carl Thomas Gladstone

Where is the holy heaven-born child,
Heir of the everlasting throne,
Who heaven and earth hath reconciled,
And God and human joined in one?
Shall we of earthly kings enquire,
To courts or palaces repair?
The nation's hope, the world's desire,
Alas! We cannot find him there.

No more turning!
See there! The new born Saviour see,
By faith discern the great I AM;
'Tis he! The eternal God! 'tis he
That bears the mild Immanuel's name.

We search the outward church in vain,
They cannot him we seek declare,
They have not found the Son of Man,
Or known the sacred name they bear.
Then let us turn no more aside,
But use the light himself imparts,
His Spirit is our surest guide,
His Spirit glimmering in our hearts.

Drawn by his grace we come from far,
And fix on heaven our wishful eyes,
That ray divine, that orient star
Directs us where the infant lies.
The Prince of Peace on earth is found,
The child is born, the son is given;
Tell it to all the nations round,
Jehovah is come down from heaven!

Advent Hymn #6: Heaven Cannot Contain

carl@carlthomasgladstone.com (emergedetroit) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 15:46:14 +0000

This song brings the mystery of the incarnation into real personal imagery. Jesus our brother. God is born. Part of this dust. And even though the the recording is a little rough, I hope it is a song that helps us remember the great paradox of the season - God among us. Pdf chord chart available over on the Local Liturgy. Please download and share!

Heaven Cannot Contain
Words by Charles Wesley, Music by Carl Thomas Gladstone

Glory be to God on high,
And peace on earth descend;
God comes down; bows the sky,
and shows himself our friend!

God invisible appears,
God the great I AM
Sojourns in this vale of tears,
And Jesus is his name.

Heaven cannot contain!
Knees and hearts to him we bow;
Jesus is our brother now.

Stand amazed, ye heavens, at this!
Lord of earth and skies
Humbled to the dust he is,
And in a manger lies!

Emptied of all majesty,
Dazzling glories shorn,
Being's source begins to be,
And God himself is born!

When Cultures Collide, We Are Given

Advent Hymn #5: Shepherd's Hymn

carl@carlthomasgladstone.com (emergedetroit) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 03:00:34 +0000

I didn't realize how fond of the shepherds was CW until working with this text and noticing the ones around it. It seems that all of his songs claim solidarity with these "regulars." You do get the vague sense that Charles saw shepherds as somehow lowlier than himself, "even shepherds..." is the usual context. But if we strip away what might be latent class-ism, we get song texts about the moment when God's angels make the announcement of Jesus' birth to the most normal of folk.

Shepherds' Hymn
words by Charles Wesley, music by Carl Thomas Gladstone

News they bring us of salvation,
Sounds of joy
To employ
Every tongue and nation, and nation
Every tongue and nation.

Welcome tidings! To retrieve us
From our fall,
Born for all,
Christ is born to save us, to save us
Christ is born to save us.

Simple shepherds us God raises,
Bids us sing,
Christ the King
And show forth his praises, his praises
And show forth his praises

Sing we with the host of heaven,
Reconciled,
By a child,
Who to us is given, is given
Who to us is given.

Glory be to God the giver,
Peace and love
From above
Reign on earth for ever, for ever
Reign on earth for ever, for ever
Reign on earth for ever, for ever
Reign on earth for ever.

Advent Hymn #3: Jesus Will Not Refuse the Song [Reprise]

carl@carlthomasgladstone.com (emergedetroit) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 21:56:44 +0000

Advent and Christmas are known for the music that we sing in worship services and on caroling trips. In this song Wesley confirms the tendency to sing about such a joyful time. Maintaining his solidarity with the shepherds Wesley acknowledges that not all of our music-making will be professional done. But, he says, Jesus as our shepherd knows, understands, and loves us anyways. (Get the chart on the Local Liturgy page!)

Jesus Will Not Refuse The Song
Words by Charles Wesley, Music by Carl Thomas Gladstone

Sing, ye ransomed nations, sing,
Praises to our new-born King,
Son of man our Maker is,
Lord of hosts and Prince of peace!

[chorus]
Jesus will not refuse the song
Ransomed nations sing along!

Will his majesty disdain
The poor shepherd's simple strain?
No; for Israel's shepherd, he
Loves their artless melody.

Let us then our Prince proclaim,
Humbly chant Immanuel's name,
Publish at his wondrous birth,
Praise in heaven and peace on earth.

Advent Hymn #2: Away With Our Fears [Reprise]

carl@carlthomasgladstone.com (emergedetroit) — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 22:50:43 +0000

This song captures the inscrutable reality of the Divine taking up residence among the mundane. The Father present as Child. God's holiness revealed in this human. The Christmas season might beg the question, "Why this way God?" Wesley helps us remember that even in this mystery we can find beauty, hope, and an end to fear if we will let God enter as God plans.

Away With Our Fears
words by Charles Wesley, music by Carl Thomas Gladstone

Immanuel’s birth
Immanuel's birth
What triumph on earth!
Yet could it afford
Yet could it afford
No better a place for its heavenly Lord?

Away with our fears!
Away with our fears!
The Godhead appears
In Christ reconciled
O, Christ reconciled
The Father of mercies in Jesus the Child.

Made flesh for our sake
Made flesh for our sake
That we might partake
The nature divine,
The nature divine
Again in His image, His holiness shine.

And while we are here,
While we are here
Our King shall appear,
His Spirit impart,
His Spirit impart
And form His full image of love in our heart.

A heavenly birth,
A heavenly birth.
Experience on earth,
And rise to His throne,
And rise to His throne,
And life with our Jesus eternally One.

Advent Hymn #1: Those Infant Hands [Reprise]

carl@carlthomasgladstone.com (emergedetroit) — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 02:49:18 +0000

Bringing back the Advent song texts from Charles Wesley that we've been reclaiming over the past few years. Those Infant Hands is a great text that revels in both the innocence and utter power of what God does in the Baby Jesus. Watch for links on the Local Liturgy page for chord charts - we hope these songs will be used and shared by communities all over.

Those Infant Hands
word by Charles Wesley, music by Carl Thomas Gladstone

Those infant hands,
of the heavenly stranger,
So poor and mean,
His court an inn,
His cradle is a manger:

Those infant hands
now for us descended,
Who built the skies,
On earth he lies,
With only beasts attended.

Lie hid in human nature;
Incarnate see
The deity,
The infinite Creator!
Godly hands, those infant hands.

Those infant hands,
Of endless adoration!
Those infant hands
Shall burst our bands,
And work out our salvation;

Those infant hands,
Strangle the serpent ever,
Till open set
The glorious gate
And take us up to heaven.
