Cold Was The Night

Author: Anonymous Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Cold was the night in winter wild Refrain First Line: Gloria in excelsis Deo Lyrics: 1 Cold was the night in winter wild, When in her arms the maiden mild, Enfolds her first, the Heaven born Child; And whilst the mother over Him hung, This carol from the angels’ tongue, In strange mysterious tones is sung: Refrain: Gloria in excelsis Deo; Et in terra pax hominibus; Bonae bonae voluntatis. 2 The stars sit still in deep amaze, In solemn silence steadfast gaze, While listening to th’angelic lays; Then wafted high, in joyous time, The songs in loud harmonious chime, To Heaven’s bright empyrean climb. [Refrain] 3 And doth this stall, in shaded gloom, Contain the fruit of Mary’s womb, For whom the world could not make room? O grace, all praise of men above, O Son, beyond all depth of love, How do these our all passions move! [Refrain] 4 On thro’ the brightest day of days, We, with its choir, our voices raise, Sing jubilee in thankful praise; To God on high be glory meet, To earthborn Son—to Paraclete— In this goodwill, in music sweet. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Cold was the night in winter wild] Text Sources: Christmas Minstrelsy by Joseph Williams and Henry Gauntlett (London and Mancehster: Novello & Bremner, 1864)

O, no, my friends, for is it not Pour'd out by hands divine? Chorus: Pour'd out by hands divine, my friends, Pour'd out by hands divine. From springs and wells it gushes forth, Pour'd out by hands divine, 2 To beauty's cheek, tho' strange it seems, 'Tis not more strange than true! Cold water, tho' itself so pale, Imparts the rosiest hue; Chorus: Imparts the rosiest hue, my friends, Imparts the rosiest hue,-- Yes, Beauty in a water-pail, Imparts the rosiest hue. 3 The sturdy oak, full many a cup Doth hold up to the sky, To catch the rain: then drinks it up, And thus the oak gets high; 'Tis thus the oak gets high, my friends, 'Tis thus the oak gets high, By having water in its cup, Then why not you and I? 4 Then let cold water armies give Their banners to the air; So shall the boys like oaks be strong, The girls like tulips fair; The girls like tulips fair, my friends, The girls like tulips fair; The boys shall grow like sturdy oaks, The girls like tulips fair, Used With Tune: COLD WATER
