There you will find the infant laid By whom the heav'ns and earth were made." 6 How glad we'll be to find it so! Then with the shepherds let us go To see what God for us has done In sending us His own dear Son. 7 Come here, my friends, lift up your eyes, And see what in the manger lies. Who is this child, so young and fair? It is the Christ Child lying there. 8 Welcome to earth, O noble Guest, Through whom the sinful world is blest! You came to share my misery That You might share Your joy with me. 9 Ah, Lord, thou You created all, How weak You are, so poor and small, That You should choose to lay Your head Where lowly cattle lately fed! 10 Were earth a thousand times as fair And set with gold and jewels rare, It would be far too poor and small A cradle for the Lord of all. 11 Instead of soft and silken stuff You have but hay and straw so rough On which as King, so rich and great, To be enthroned in royal state. 12 And so it pleases You to see this simple truth revealed to me: That worldly honor, wealth, and might Are weak and worthless in Your sight. 13 Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child, Prepare a bed, soft, undefiled, A quiet chamber set apart For You to dwell within my heart. 14 My heart for very joy must leap; My lips no more can silence keep. I, too must sing with joyful tongue That sweetest ancient cradlesong: 15 Glory to God in highest heav'n, Who unto us His Son has giv'n! While angels sing with pious mirth A glad new year to all the earth. Scripture: Luke 2:10-20 Languages: English Tune Title: VOM HIMMEL HOCH

To show God's love aright, She bore to us a Savior, When half-spent was the night. 3 This flow'r, whose fragrance tender With sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor The darkness ev'rywhere. True man, yet very God, From sin and death he saves us And lightens ev'ry load. 4 O Savior, child of Mary, Who felt our human woe; O Savior, King of glory, Who dost our weakness know: Bring us at length we pray To the bright courts of heaven, And to the endless day.

God is man, man to deliver, And the Son Now is one With our blood forever. 3 Should we fear our God's displeasure, Who, to save, Freely gave His most precious treasure? To redeem us He has given His own Son From the throne Of His might in heaven. 4 See the lamb, our sin once taking To the cross, Suff'ring loss, Full atonement making. For our life His own He tenders, And His grace All our race Fit for glory renders. 5 Softly from His lowly manger Jesus calls One and all, "You are safe from danger. Children, from the sins that grieve you You are freed; All you need I will surely give you." 6 Come, then, banish all your sadness! One and all, Great and small, Come with songs of gladness. We shall live with Him forever There on high In that joy Which will vanish never. Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Languages: English Tune Title: FRÖHLICH SOLL MIEN HERZE SPRINGEN

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 wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the king And peace to all the earth! 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav'n. 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 Immanuel! Scripture: Luke 2:1-15 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-76 Hymnal: LSB2006 #366 (2006) 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, goodwill to all, From heav'n'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 heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world. Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hov'ring wing, And ever o'er its babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 All you, beneath your heavy load, By care and guilt bent low, Who toil along a dreary way With painful steps and slow: Look up, for golden is the hour, Come swiftly on the wing, The Prince was born to bring you peace; Of Him the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days have come to pass By prophets seen of old, When down into the circling years Came Christ as was foretold. His word of peace shall to the earth God's ancient promise bring, And all who take this gift will hear The song the angels sing.
