Author: Laurentius Laurenti, 1660-1722; Sarah B. Findlater, 1823-1907 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #98 (2011) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ Advent and Nativity; Jesus Advent and Nativity Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers,
And let your lights appear;
The evening is advancing,
And darker night is near.
The Bridegroom is arising,
And soon He draweth nigh;
Up, pray and watch and wrestle;
At midnight comes the cry.
2 See that your lamps are burning;
Replenish them with oil;
Look now for your salvation,
The end of earthly toil.
The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near;
Go meet Him as He cometh,
With alleluias clear.
3 Our Hope and Expectation,
O Jesus, now appear!
Arise, Thou Sun so longed for,
O'er this benighted sphere!
With hearts and hands up lifted,
We plead, O Lord, to see
The day of earth's redemption
That brings us unto Thee.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 25:1-13 Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASHIRE

It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #108 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ Advent and Nativity; Jesus Advent and Nativity 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 men,
From heaven's all-gracious King:"
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 ye, 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 prophet-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 whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing. Scripture: Luke 2:13-14 Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

And glory shone around,

2 "Fear not!" said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind,
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind,
To you and all mankind.
3 "To you, in David's town, this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign,
And this shall be the sign:
4 "The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid,
And in a manger laid."
5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song,
Addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease,
Begin and never cease."
Amen. Scripture: Luke 2:14 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS

On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Shining in the east beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]

Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]

O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]

Full reverently upon the knee,
And offered there, in His presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frank incense. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 2:8 Languages: English Tune Title: THE FIRST NOEL

And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,

And wonders, wonders of His love.

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
Author: Emily E S Elliott, 1836-1897 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #94 (1999) Meter: Irregular Topics: Advent and Nativity First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
For Thy holy Nativity.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
Proclaiming Thy royal degree;
But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,
And in great humility.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
4 Thou cam'st, O Lord, with the living word
That should set Thy people free;
But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
5 When heavens arches shall ring and her choir shall sing
At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room,
There is room at My side for thee!"
and my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest and callest for me.
AMEN. Languages: English Tune Title: MARGARET (ELLIOTT)
