It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: NCH1995 #131 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold; “Peace on the earth, good will to all, great news of joy we bring.” The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly music floats o’er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing, and ever o’er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. 3 And you, beneath life’s crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way, with painful steps and slow, Look now, for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing! 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, by prophets bards foretold, when with the ever-circling years comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the world send back the song which now the angels sing.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: NCH1995 #133 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see you lie! Above your deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by; Yet in your dark streets shines forth the everlasting light;, The hopes and fears of all the years are met in you tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing, and voices ring with peace to all on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts the glorious love of heaven. No one discerns God's coming, but in this world of sin, Where yearning souls long to be whole, the dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in; be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!
