I Am Not Skilled to Understand
Author: Dorothy Greenwell Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #480 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Scripture: Acts 5:31 Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand
what God hath willed, what God has planned;
I only know at his right hand
stands one who is my Savior!
2 I take him at his word and deed;
“Christ died to save me,” this I read;
and in my heart I find a need
of him to be my Savior.
3 That he should leave his place on high
and come for sinners here to die;
you find it strange? So once did I,
before I knew my Savior.
4 I hope that Christ my Lord may see
fulfillment of his work in me;
and with his child contented be
as I with my dear Savior!
5 Yes, living, dying, let me bring
my strength, my comfort from this spring:
that he who lives to be my King
once died to be my Savior.

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #51 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Acts 5:30-31 Lyrics: 1 O sing a song of Bethlehem,
of shepherds watching there,
and of the news that came to them
from angels in the air:
The light that shone on Bethlehem
fills all the world today;
of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
the angels sing alway.
2 O sing a song of Nazareth,
of days of joy and sun,
O sing of fragrant flowers' breath,
and of the sinless One:
For now the flowers of Nazareth
in every heart may grow;
now spreads the fame of his dear name
on all the winds that blow.
3 O sing a song of Galilee,
of lake and woods and hill,
of One who walked upon the sea
and bade the waves be still:
For though, like waves on Galilee,
rough seas of trouble roll,
when faith has heard the Master's word,
falls peace upon the soul.
4 O sing a song of Calvary,
its glory and dismay,
of One who hung upon the tree,
and took our sins away:
For Christ who died on Calvary
is risen from the grave;
God's sovereign Child, who reconciled,
is mighty now to save. Topics: Adoration and Praise Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ Life and Ministry; Jesus Christ Presentation of; Year A Christmas 1; Year A Proper 14; Year A Presentation; Year B Proper 12; Year B Presentation; Year C Presentation Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD

of shepherds watching there,
and of the news that came to them
from angels in the air.
The light that shone on Bethlehem
fills all the world today.
Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
the angels sing alway.
2 O sing a song of Nazareth,
of sunny days of joy;
O sing of fragrant flowers' breath,
and of the sinless boy.
For now the flowers of Nazareth
in every heart may grow.
Now spreads the fame of his dear name
on all the winds that blow.
3 O sing a song of Galilee,
of lake and woods and hill,
of him who walked upon the sea
and bade its waves be still.
For though, like waves on Galilee,
dark seas of trouble roll,
when faith has heard the Master's word,
falls peace upon the soul.
4 O sing a song of Calvary,
its glory and dismay,
of him who hung upon the tree,
and took our sins away.
For he who died on Calvary
is risen from the grave,
and Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored,
is mighty now to save.

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Jesus, exalted as a Prince and a Saviour
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CLXXVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Acts 5:32 First Line: Exalted Prince of life, we own Lyrics: 1 Exalted Prince of Life, we own
The royal honors of thy throne:
'Tis fix'd by God's Almighty hand,
And seraphs bow at thy command.
2 Exalted Saviour, we confess
The sov'reign triumphs of thy grace;
Where beams of gentle radiance shine,
And temper majesty divine.
3 Wide thy resistless sceptre sway,
Till all thine enemies obey;
Wide may thy cross its virtue prove,
And conquer millions by its love.
4 Mighty to vanquish, and forgive!
Thine Isr'el shall repent and live;
And laud proclaim thy healing breath,
Which works their life, who wrought thy death.

Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands
Author: Richard Massie, 1800-87; Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: Together in Song #364 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Scripture: Acts 5:29-32 Lyrics: 1 Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands
for our offences given;
but now at God’s right hand he stands
and brings us light from heaven:
let us then with joy adore
and thank our God for evermore,
and sing loud hallelujahs.
Hallelujah!
2 It was a strange and dreadful strife
when life and death contended;
the victory remained with life,
the reign of death was ended:
Stripped of power, no more it reigns,
an empty form alone remains:
death's sting is gone forever.
Hallelujah!
3 So let us keep the festival
our Lord himself invites us;
Christ is the Lamb, the joy of all,
the sun that warms and lights us;
through the glory of his grace
all darkness must today give place,
the night of sin is ended.
Hallelujah!
4 Then let us feast this holy day
on the true bread of heaven.
The word of grace has purged away
the old and wicked leaven.
Christ alone our souls can feed,
he is our food and drink indeed,
faith lives upon no other.

Child in the manger
Author: Lachlan Macbean (1853-1931); Mary MacDonald (1789-1872) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #314 (2005) Meter: 5.5.5.3 D Scripture: Acts 5:30-31 Lyrics: 1 Child in the manger,
infant of Mary;
outcast and stranger,
Lord of all!
Child who inherits
all our transgressions,
all our demerits
on him fall.
2 Once the most holy
child of salvation
gently and lowly
lived below;
now, as our glorious
mighty Redeemer,
see him victorious
o'er each foe.
3 Prophets foretold him
infant of wonder;
angels behold him
on his throne;
worthy our Saviour
of all their praises;
happy forever
are his own.

2 Ged a bhios leanaban
aig rìghrean na talmhainn,

an àilleachd 's an dealbh

3 Cha b'ionnan 's an t-Uan
a tháinig gar fuasgladh,
iriosal stuama
ghluais e 'n tùs;
e naomha gun truailleachd.
Cruithear an t-sluaigh,
dh'èirich e suas
le buaidh on ùir.
4 Leanabh an àigh
mar dh'aithris na faidhean,
's na h-ainglean àrd'
b'e miann an sùl:
's e 's airidh ar gràdh
's ar n-urram thoirt dha:
is sona an àireamh
bhitheas dha dlùth. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: BUNESSAN
