O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93 Hymnal: LW1982 #59 (1982) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 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 wond'ring love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing
To God the king
And peace to all the earth!
3 How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts
To human hearts
The blessings of his heav'n.
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;
Oh, come to us,
Abide with us,
Our Lord Immanuel!

What Child Is This
Author: William C. Dix, 1837-98 Hymnal: LW1982 #61 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.8.6.7 First Line: What child is this, who, laid to rest Lyrics: 1 What child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the king,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary!
2 Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
The cross be borne for me, for you;
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The babe, the son of Mary!
3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh;
Come, peasant, king, to own him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby;
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The babe, the son of Mary! Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: GREENSLEEVES
What Child Is This
It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-76 Hymnal: LW1982 #62 (1982) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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, goodwill to all,
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 All you, beneath your heavy load,
By care and guilt bent low,
Who toil along a dreary way
With painful steps and slow:
Look up, for golden is the hour,
Come swiftly on the wing,
The Prince was born to bring you peace;
Of him the angels sing.
4 For lo, the days have come to pass
By prophets seen of old,
When down into the circling years
Came Christ as was foretold.
His word of peace shall to the earth
God's ancient promise bring,
And all who take this gift will hear
The song the angels sing. Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

Away in a Manger
Author: John T. McFarland, 1851-1913 Hymnal: LW1982 #64 (1982) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
2 The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
And stay by my side until morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And take us to heaven to live with thee there. Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CRADLE SONG
