When Christmas morn is dawning
Author: Claude William Foss, 1855 - 1935; Elizabeth Ehrenborg-Posse, 1818 - 80 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #35 (1958) Lyrics: 1 When Christmas morn is dawning
In faith I would repair
Unto the lowly manger;
My Saviour lieth there,
Unto the lowly manger;
My Saviour lieth there. A-men.
2 How kind, O loving Saviour,
To come from heaven above;
From sin and evil save us,
And keep us in thy love.
3 We need thee, blessèd Jesus,
Our dearest friend thou art;
Forbid that we by sinning
Should grieve thy loving heart. A-men
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS DAWN
When Christmas morn is dawning
In the bleak midwinter
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti, 1830 - 94 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #36 (1958) Lyrics: 1 In the bleak mid-winter,
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter,
Long ago.
2 Heaven cannot hold him,
Nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When he comes to reign;
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty,
Jesus Christ.
3 Angels and archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Throngèd the air;
But his mother only,
In her maiden bliss,
Worshiped the Belovèd
With a kiss.
4 What can I give him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb;
If I were a wise man
I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give him--
Give my heart. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CRANHAM
In the bleak midwinter
Love came down at Christmas
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti, 1830 - 94 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #37 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and angels gave the sign.
2 Worship we the Godhead,
Love incarnate, Love divine;
Worship we our Jesus:
But wherewith for sacred sign?
3 Love shall be our token,
Love be yours and love be mine,
Love to God and all men,
Love for plea and gift and sign. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: GARTAN
Love came down at Christmas
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
Author: Theodore Baker, 1851 - 1934; Harriet R. Krauth, 1845 - 1925; John Caspar Mattes, 1876 - 1948 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #38 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As men of old have sung.
It came, a floweret bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind,
With Mary we behold it,
The Virgin Mother kind.
To show God's love aright,
She bore to men a Saviour,
When half spent was the night. A-men.
3 This Flower, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor
The darkness everywhere.
True Man, yet very God,
From sin and death he saves us
And lightens every load.
4 O Saviour, Child of Mary,
Who felt our human woe;
O Saviour, 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.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST EIN' ROS'ENTSPRUNGEN
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
Good Christian men, rejoice

With heart, and soul, and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say:
Jesus Christ is born today;
Ox and ass before him bow,
And he is in the manger now.

Now ye hear of endless bliss:
Jesus Christ was born for this!
He hath ope'd the heavenly door,
And man is blessèd evermore.
Christ was born for this!

3 Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all
To gain his everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save!

Hymnal: SBHC1958 #40 (1958) First Line: The first Noel the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Refrain:
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
2 They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]
3 And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
4 This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O’er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
5 Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain]
6 Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of naught,
And with his Blood mankind hath bought. [Refrain] Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: THE FIRST NOWELL

Once in royal David’s city
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823 - 95 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #41 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle-shed,
Where a Mother laid her baby
In a manger for his bed;
Mary was that Mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And his shelter was a stable,
And his cradle was a stall;
With the poor and mean and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And through all his wondrous childhood
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms he lay;
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as he.
4 For he is our childhood's pattern:
Day by day like us he grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless;
Tears and smiles like us he knew;
And he feeleth for our sadness,
And he shareth in our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see him
Through his own redeeming love,
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above;
And he leads his children on
To the place where he is gone.
6 Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
Shall we see him; but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high,
When like stars his children crowned
All in white shall wait around. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

Born the King of angels:
Refrain:
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord!
2 God of God,
Light of Light,
Lo, he abhors not the Virgin's womb;
Very God, Begotten not created: [Refrain]
3 Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God
In the highest: [Refrain]
4 Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning,
Jesus, to thee be glory given;
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing: [Refrain] Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ADESTE FIDELES
O come, let us adore him
Angels on wing
Author: Arnold Frederick Keller, 1890 - Hymnal: SBHC1958 #43 (1958) Meter: 8.8.9.9.8.8 First Line: Under the feeble stable light Lyrics: 1 Under the feeble stable light
Come and behold the wondrous sight!
Lies here a babe so heavenly sweet,
Mother and angels the Infant keep.
Refrain:
Angels on wing,
What do they sing?
'Glory to God, the Saviour, King!'
2 Brighter the radiant heavens shine,
Shepherds afield hear voices divine,
'For unto you a child is born!'
Go and behold him, this blessèd morn. [Refrain]
3 Far away too, in eastern lands,
Wise Men obey the star's commands;
Follow the gleam to where the child lay,
Offer their royal gifts this day. [Refrain] Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY MANGER
Angels on wing
He came among us at Christmastide
Author: Edward Traill Horn, III, 1909 - Hymnal: SBHC1958 #44 (1958) First Line: Long ago and far away Lyrics: 1 Long ago and far away
Heaven rang with joy today,
Jesus in the manger lay
In Bethlehem
Upon a Christmas morning.
Refrain:
He came among us at Christmas-tide,
At Christmas-tide, in Bethlehem;
Men shall bring him from far and wide
Love's diadem:
Jesus, Jesus,
Lo, he comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us.
2 Shepherds heard and wondered why
Angels sang up in the sky
'Glory be to God most high,'
In Bethlehem
Upon a Christmas morning. [Refrain]
3 Said the angel, 'For a sign
Ye shall find the Babe divine
Cradled with the lowing kine,
In Bethlehem
Upon a Christmas morning. [Refrain]
4 Hard upon the angel's word
Came they all with one accord,
In the manger found the Lord,
In Bethlehem
Upon a Christmas morning. [Refrain]
5 Glory, honor, laud and praise
Be to God for endless days
For the Babe his love displays
In Bethlehem
Upon a Christmas morning. [Refrain]
