all seated on the ground,
the angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around,
and glory shone around.

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 heav'nly 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:

and to the earth be peace;
good will henceforth, from heav'n to men,
begin and never cease,
begin and never cease!" Topics: Angels; Christ Birth of; Christ As Messiah; Christ As Son of David; Peace Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #85a (2000) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Scripture: Luke 2:7 First Line: Brightest and best of the suns of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid;
star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining;
low lies his head with the beasts of the stall;
angels adore him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all.
3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion,
odours of Edom, and offerings divine,
gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each humble oblation,
vainly with gifts would his favour secure:
richer by far is the heart's adoration,
dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. Topics: Years A, B, and C Christmas Day; Years A, B, and C Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: EPIPHANY

It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears (1810-1876) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #140 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 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, to all good will
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 Yet with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long;
beneath the angel-strain have rolled
two thousand years of wrong;
and we amid our wars hear not
the words of peace they bring;
O listen now, and still your strife
to hear the angels sing.
4 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.
5 For lo, the days are hastening on,
by prophets seen of old,
when with the ever-circling years
shall come the time foretold:
when the new heaven and earth shall own
the Prince of Peace their King,
and the whole world send back the song
which now the angels sing. Topics: Christmas; Epiphany; Angels Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL
