Yours the glory and the crown,

stifle hymns of love:
Yours the glory and the crown,

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 888 hymnals Scripture: John 1:12 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting Light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee 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 to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.
3 How silently, how silently
the wondrous Gift is given;
so God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven!
No ear may hear his coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him still
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.

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 425 hymnals Scripture: John 1:14 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 meek and lowly
lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 For he is our childhood's pattern,
day by day like us he grew,
he was little, weak, and helpless,
tears and smiles like us he knew:
and he feels for all our sadness,
and he shares in all our gladness.
4 And 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 has gone.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie, 1829-1885 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 184 hymnals Scripture: John 1:14 Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our Lord to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood,
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heavenly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph,
cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the Presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
"Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord most high!" Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: Liturgy of St. James, 4th c.

Ah, Holy Jesus
Author: Johann Heermann; Robert Bridges Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 145 hymnals Scripture: John 1:11 First Line: Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended,
that mortal judgment has on you descended?
By foes derided, by your own rejected,
O most afflicted!
2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon you?
It is my treason, Lord, that has undone you.
'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied you;
I crucified you.
3 For me, kind Jesus, was your incarnation,
your mortal sorrow, and your life's oblation,
your death of anguish and your bitter passion,
for my salvation.
4 Therefore, dear Jesus, since I cannot pay you,
I do adore you and will ever pray you,
think on your pity and your love unswerving,
not my deserving. Topics: Confession; Jesus Christ Death; Jesus Christ Incarnation; Jesus Christ Passion; Love Christ’s Love fro Us; Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: HERZLIEBSTER JESU Text Sources: paraphrase of Jean de Fécamp, 11th C.

thou savest those that on thee call:
to those that seek thee thou art good,
to those that find thee, all in all.

and long to feast upon thee still;
we drink of thee, the fountain-head,
and thirst our souls from thee to fill.

where'er our changeful lot is cast,
glad when thy gracious smile we see,
blest when our faith can hold thee fast.

chase the dark night of sin away;
shed o'er the world thy holy light. Topics: The Church Celebrates Holy Communion; Longing Used With Tune: MARYTON Text Sources: 12th century

At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline M. Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 264 hymnals Scripture: John 1:18 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus ev'ry knee shall bow,
ev'ry tongue confess him King of glory now;
'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season, to receive a name
from the lips of sinners unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it, spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious when from death he passed,
3 bore it up triumphant with its human light,
through all ranks of creatures to the central height,
to the throne of Godhead, to the Father's breast,
filled it with the glory of that perfect rest.
4 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue
all that is not holy, all that is not true;
crown him as your Captain in temptation's hour;
let his will enfold you in its light and power.
5 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again,
with his Father's glory, with his angel-train,
for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him King of glory now.

on Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
while shepherds watch are keeping?
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 mean estate
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
the cross be borne for me, for you;
hail, hail the Word made flesh,
the babe, the son of Mary!
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.
Raise, raise the song on high,
the Virgin sings her lullaby;
joy, joy for Christ is born,
the babe, the son of Mary! Used With Tune: GREENSLEEVES
