O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 872 hymnals Topics: Blessing (blessedness) 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 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 men 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!

One word of thy supporting breath drives all my fears away. Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, doth still my table spread. My cup with blessings overflows, thine oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days. Oh, may thy house be mine abode, and all my work be praise.

How beauteous are their feet

Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 715 hymnals Topics: The Blessedness of Gospel Times Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet, Who stand on Zion's hill, Who brings salvation on their tongues And words of peace reveal! 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found. 4 How blessed are our eyes, That see this heav'nly light! Prophets and saints desir'd it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare his arm Thro' all the earth abroad; Let every nation now behold Their Saviour and their God.
