Go, Tell It On the Mountain
Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #101 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 with refrain First Line: While shepherds kept their watching Lyrics: Refrain:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere,
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ was born.
1 While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light. [Refrain]
2 The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth. [Refrain]
3 Down in a lonely manger
The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain] Topics: Advent and Nativity Languages: English Tune Title: GO TELL IT

Once In Royal David's City
Author: Cecil F Alexander, 1823-1895 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #102 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And, thro' all His wondrous childhood,
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms He lay:
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as He.
4 But our eyes at last shall see Him
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
5 Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
Shall we see Him; but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high:
Then like stars His children crowned,
All in white shall wait around.
Amen. Topics: Advent and Nativity Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

There's a Song in the Air
Author: Josiah G Holland Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #103 (1999) Meter: 6.6.6.6.12.12 First Line: There's a song in the air! Lyrics: 1 There’s a song in the air!
There’s a star in the sky!
There’s a mother’s deep prayer
and a baby’s low cry!
And the star rains its fire
while the beautiful sing,
for the manger of Bethlehem
cradles a king!
2 There’s a tumult of joy
o’er the wonderful birth,
For the virgin’s sweet boy
is the Lord of the earth.
Ay! the star rains its fire
while the beautiful sing,
For the manger of Bethlehem
cradles a king!
3 In the light of that star
lie the ages impearled;
And that song from afar
has swept over the world.
Every hearth is aflame,
and the beautiful sing
in the homes of the nations
that Jesus is king!
4 We rejoice in the light,
and we echo the song
that comes down through the night
from the heavenly throng.
Ay! we shout to the lovely
evangel they bring,
And we greet in His cradle
our Savior and king!

Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light
Author: Johann Rist; John Troutbeck; Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #104 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light,
and usher in the morning;
O shepherds, shrink not with affright,
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.
2 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!
3 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. Topics: Advent and Nativity Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Languages: English Tune Title: ERMUNTRE DICH

On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
Refrain:
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
2 Why lies He in such low estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading. [Refrain]
3 So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come, peasant, King to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him. [Refrain] Topics: Advent and Nativity Languages: English Tune Title: GREENSLEEVES

Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
Author: Theodore Baker Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #106 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
from tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming,
as those of old have sung.
It came, a floweret bright,
amid the cold of winter
when half spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
the Rose I have in mind;
with Mary we behold it,
The Virgin Mother kind.
To show God's love aright,
she bore to men a Savior,
when half spent was the night. Topics: Advent and Nativity Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST EIN ROS

Jesus, Joy of Our Desiring
Author: Martin Janus; Anon. Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #107 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, joy of our desiring,
holy wisdom, love most bright;
drawn by thee, our souls aspiring
soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned,
with the fire of life impassioned,
striving still to truth unknown,
soaring, dying round thy throne.
2 Through the way where hope is guiding,
hark, what peaceful music rings;
where the flock, in thee confiding,
drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead thine own
in the love of joys unknown. Topics: Advent and Nativity Languages: English Tune Title: JESU, JOY OF MAN'S DES

Hail, to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #109 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Are precious in His sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
Love, joy, and hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth:
Before Him, on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald, go,
And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.
4 To Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end:
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His Name shall stand forever;
That Name to us is Love.
AMEN.
