Jesus, Our Brother

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #243 (1993) Meter: Irregular Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Christmas First Line: Jesus, our brother, kind and good Lyrics: 1 Jesus, our brother, kind and good, was humbly born in a stable rude, and the friendly beasts around him stood, Jesus, our brother, kind and good. 2 "I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown, "I carried his mother uphill and down. I carried her safely to Bethlehem town; I," said the donkey shaggy and brown. 3 "I," said the cow, all white and red, "I gave him my manger for his bed. I gave him hay to pillow his head; I," said the cow, all white and red. 4 "I," said the sheep with curly horn, "I gave him my wool for his blanket warm, he wore my coat on Christmas morn; I," said the sheep with curly horn. 5 "I," said the dove, from rafters high, "I cooed him to sleep that he should not cry, we cooed him to sleep, my mate and I; I," said the dove, from rafters high. 6 And all the beasts, by some good spell, in the stable dark was glad to tell of the gifts they gave Emmanuel, the gifts they gave Emmanuel.

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #244 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Christmas 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, to all good will, from heaven the news we bring." 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 But with the woes of war and strife the world has suffered long; beneath the angel-strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong; and we who fight the wars hear not the love song which they bring. O hush the noise of battle strife, and hear the angels sing. 4 For, lo! the days are hastening on, by prophet bards foretold, when with the ever-circling years comes round the age of gold: when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world give back the song which now the angels sing.

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. Let praises ring: from God they bring goodwill to all on earth. 3 How silently, how silently the wonder is made known, when God imparts to human hearts the gift that is our own. No ear may hear that coming, but in this worldly din, when souls are truly humble, then the dear babe rests within. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS
