O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 897 hymnals Topics: Year C Advent 4 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see you lie!
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by;
Yet in your dark streets shines forth
the everlasting light;,
The hopes and fears of all the years
are met in you 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, and voices ring
with peace to all on earth.
3 How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
the glorious love of heaven.
No one discerns God's coming,
but in this world of sin,
Where yearning souls long to be whole,
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! Scripture: Micah 5:2 Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS

unaccompanied by thee;
joyless is the day's return,
till thy mercy's beams I see,
till they inward light impart,
glad my eyes, and warm my heart.
3 Visit then this soul of mine,
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day. Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: RATISBON

till all our wanderings cease,
and at our Father's loved abode
our souls arrive in peace. Scripture: Luke 11:2-4 Used With Tune: BURFORD

and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my noblest powers;
my days of praise are never past
while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures.
2 Happy are those whose hopes rely
on God the Lord, who made the sky,
and earth, the sea, the night and day;
God's truth forever stands secure,
he keeps his promise to the poor,
and none who seeks is turned away.
3 The Lord gives eyesight to the blind,
he calms and heals the troubled mind,
and sends the wounded conscience peace.
God helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner glad release.
4 I'll praise you while you lend me breath,
and, when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my noblest powers;
my days of praise are never past
while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: OLD 113TH

A Message Came to a Maiden Young
Author: E. B. G.; Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Meter: Irregular Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Advent 4 Year B Lyrics: 1 A message came to a maiden young;
The angel stood beside her
In shining robes, and with golden tongue
He told what should betide her:
The maid was lost in wonder;
Her world was rent asunder;
Ah! how could she
Christ's mother be
By God's most high decree!
2 No greater news could a messenger bring;
For 'twas from the young mother
He came, who walked on the earth as a king,
And yet to all a brother:
His truth has spread like leaven;
'Twill marry earth to heaven,
Till all agree
In charity
To dwell from sea to sea.
3 He came, God's Word to the world here below;
And round him there did gather
A band who found that this teacher to know
Was e'en to know the Father:
He healed the sick who sought him,
Forgave the foes who fought him;
Beside the sea
Of Galilee
He set the nations free.
4 And sometimes trumpets from Sion ring out,
And tramping comes, and drumming;
"Thy kingdom come," so we cry; and they shout,
"It comes!" and still 'tis coming.
Far, far ahead, to win us,
Yet with us, nay within us;
Till all shall see
That King is he,
The Love from Galilee! Scripture: Luke 1:26-38 Used With Tune: ANNUNCIATION Text Sources: St. 1: Dutch
