how they had seen the risen Lord,
he doubted the disciples' word.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

my hands, my feet, I show to thee;
not faithless, but believing be."
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
3 No longer Thomas then denied;
he saw the feet, the hands, the side;
"Thou art my Lord and God," he cried.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
4 How blest are they who have not seen,
and yet whose faith has constant been,
for they eternal life shall win.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #218 (1989) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Christ's Gracious Life Birth and Baptism; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Christ's Gracious Life Birth and Baptism; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Jesus Christ; Peace, World 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 seen of old,
when with the ever-circling years
shall come the time foretold
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendors fling,
and the whole world send back the song
which now the angels sing. Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

O Little Town of Bethlehem

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 all 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! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

Joyful Is the Dark
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Glory to God #230 (2013) Meter: 5.5.10.6.5.10 Topics: Christian Year Nativity/Christmas; Christian Year Easter Vigil; Christian Year Resurrection/Easter; Christian Year Ascension; Creation; Incarnation; Jesus Christ Resurrection; Joy; Christian Year Easter Lyrics: 1 Joyful is the dark,
holy, hidden God,
rolling cloud of night beyond all naming:
majesty in darkness,
energy of love,
Word-in-flesh, the mystery proclaiming.
2 Joyful is the dark
Spirit of the deep,
winging wildly o'er the world's creation,
silken sheen of midnight
plumage black and bright,
swooping with the beauty of a raven.
3 Joyful is the dark,
shadowed stable floor;
angels flicker, God on earth confessing,
as with exultation,
Mary, giving birth,
hails the infant cry of need and blessing.
4 Joyful is the dark
coolness of the tomb,
waiting for the wonder of the morning;
never was that midnight
touched by dread and gloom:
darkness was the cradle of the dawning.
5 Joyful is the dark
depth of love divine,
roaring, looming thundercloud of glory,
holy, haunting beauty,
living, loving God.
Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story!
Scripture: Genesis 1:2 Languages: English Tune Title: LINDNER

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Worshipbook #526 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Christian Year Lent; Civil Year New Year; Other Observances Christian Education 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 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.
Amen. Tune Title: KINGSFOLD

may hope to wear the glorious crown. Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS (QUEBEC)

and from earthly joys abstain,
fasting with unceasing prayer,
strong with you to suffer pain?
4 If temptations, vexing sore,
flesh or spirit should assail,
you their vanquisher before,
grant we may not faint nor fail.
5 Keep, oh keep us, Saviour dear,
ever constant by your side;
that with you we may appear
at the eternal Eastertide. Languages: English Tune Title: HEINLEIN

there the Lord of glory see,
made a sacrifice for you,
dying on the accursed tree.

trust in Christ and learn to die. Languages: English Tune Title: REDHEAD No. 76
