While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #296 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Matthew 1:23 First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around,
and glory shone around.
2 "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind,
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and humankind,
to you and humankind.
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 The angel spoke, and suddenly
appeared a shining throng
of angels, praising God, who now
begin their joyful song,
begin their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
good will henceforth from heav'n to all
begin and never cease,
begin and never cease." Topics: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #286 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Matthew 1:23 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 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 O 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 hast'ning on,
by prophet bards foretold,
when with the ever-circling years
comes round the age of gold,
when the new heav'n 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; Christian year--Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

O little town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Hymnal: Common Praise #63a (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Lyrics: 1 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 O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.
For Christ is born of Mary;
and, gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.
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. Topics: Christmas; Chirstimas Midnight Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

1 ¡Oh, aldehuela de Belén!
Afortunada tú,
pues en tus campos brilla hoy
la sempiterna luz.
El Hijo tan deseado
con santa expectación,
el anunciado Salvador
en ti, Belén, nació.
2 Allá do el Redentor nació
los ángeles están
velando todos con amor
al niño sin igual.
¡Estrellas rutilantes,
a Dios la gloria dad!
Pues hoy el cielo nos mostró
Su buena voluntad.
3 Calladamente Dios nos da
su incomparable don;
así también impartirá
Sus bendiciones hoy.
Ningún oído acaso
perciba su venir,
mas el de humilde corazón
le habrá de recibir.
4 ¡Oh Santo Niño de Belén!
Desciende con tu paz;
en nuestras almas nace hoy
limpiando todo mal.
Los ángeles del cielo
te anuncian al nacer;
¡ven con nosotros a morar,
oh Cristo, Emanuel! Topics: Año Cristiano Navidad; Christian Year Christmas Languages: English; Spanish Tune Title: ST. LOUIS
