As We Gather at Your Table
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: RitualSong #848 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Story Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your Table,
As we listen to your Word,
Help us know, O God, your presence:
Let our hearts and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story
Till we claim it as our own;
Teach us through this holy banquet
How to make Love’s victory known.
2 Turn our worship into witness
In the sacrament of life;
Send us forth to love and serve you,
Bringing peace where there is strife.
Give us, Christ, your great compassion
To forgive as you forgave;
May we still behold your image
In the world you died to save.
3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon
Other guests to share that feast
Where triumphant Love will welcome
Those who had been last and least.
There no more will envy blind us
Nor will pride our peace destroy,
As we join with saints and angels
To repeat the sounding joy. Scripture: Genesis 12:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON

Cradled in a manger
Hymnal: Voices of Praise #41 (1883) Topics: The Story of the Nativity Lyrics: I. THE HOLY CHILD:
1 Cradled in a manger,
In a stable bare,
Lies a little infant,
Pure and fair.
2 Over him his mother
Bends with loving eye,
While an old man watches,
Standing by.
3 Far from home, and friendless,
Who so poor as they!
From the crowded inn door
Turned away.
4 Wearied with the journey,
And the hard world's scorn,
Here the mother welcomes
Her first born.
5 Oxen share his shelter,
Cold the night wind blows,
Straw his bed, and rough his
Swaddling clothes.
6 Weak as other infants,
Child of want and care,
Claims he aught but pity,
Lying there?
II. THE MIGHTY GOD:
1 Why does that pale mother
Gaze and tremble so,
Showing deeper joy than
Mothers know?
2 Why, before her baby
Does that mother kneel?
Whence the holy light her
Eyes reveal?
1 Cradled in that manger
Lies the Eternal Son,
Who is with the Father,
Ever One.
2 On that mother's bosom
Sleeps in slumber still
He who ruleth all things
By His will.
3 Mary's child the prophets
Called Immanuel,--
God, with us His creatures
Come to dwell.
4 And the name of Jesus
God by Gabriel gave;
For, from sin His people
He shall save.
5 Faith can see the Angels
Watch around Him now,
And, before the infant,
Humbly bow.
6 Faith can hear them singing
Sweetest songs of praise,
Faith can catch the meaning
Of their lays.
III. THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD:
1 Holy Babe, we worship
At Thy manger throne,
And our Lord and Master
Thee we own.
2 Oh! what love has led Thee
To be born for us,
All Thy power and glory
Hidden thus!
3 Shall Thy love yet bring Thee
Into deeper woe
Than our coarser natures
Ever know?
4 Shalt Thou long and labour
Wandering souls to gain,
Calling sinners to Thee,
And in vain?
5 Shall those hands so tender,
Feel the piercing nails,
While Thy life in torment
Sinks and fails?
6 Shall Thy form hang naked
On the shameful tree--
Friends all fled, and foes all
Mocking Thee?
7 Yes, for this Thou camest
From Thy throne on high,
For us men to suffer,
And to die.
8 On Thy path no sorrow
Shall unlooked for fall,
Thou, from the beginning
Knowest all.
9 Yet, Thy joys are deeper
Than Thy sorrows are,
And Thy zeal to save us
Stronger far.
10 Thou wouldst have us joyful,
Even as Thou art,
Though we keep Thy sorrow
In our heart.
11 We may hail Thy coming,
Saviour, Healer, Friend,
And, with Thee, look forward
To the end.
12 When in our frail nature
Thou hast toiled and died,
Thou shalt rise to heaven,
Glorified.
13 Souls shall fill the mansions
In the home above,
Trophies of Thy sorrow
And Thy love.
IV. THE PRINCE OF PEACE:
1 Now the new Creation
Is in Thee begun,
All that Adam lost us
More than won.
2 Thou art the Incarnate,
God with man made one,
Giving man once more the
Place of Son.
3 Thou art born to free us
From the power of earth,
Building us to Thee in
The New Birth.
4 Thou art born to save us
From the power of sin,
From the evil round us
And within.
5 Thou art born to change us
By Thy grace Divine,
And to make our natures
Like to Thee.
6 Thou hast left Thy glory,
Far beyond the skies,
That with Thee to heaven
We may rise.
7 One with Thee, O Saviour,
May our lives be blest,
One with Thee O bring us
To Thy rest.
8 While by faith we see Thee,
May our hearts adore,
Till our eyes behold Thee
Evermore.
Amen.

The Angel Gabriel From Heaven Came
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: Worship in Song #57 (1996) Topics: Story of Jesus Lyrics: 1 The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
"All hail," said he, "thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favored lady."
Gloria!
2 "For know, a blessed Mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honor thee,
Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
Most highly favored lady."
Gloria!
3 Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said,
"My soul shall laud and magnify God's holy Name."
Most highly favored lady.
Gloria!
4 Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say
"Most highly favored lady."
Gloria! Scripture: Luke 1:26-34 Tune Title: GABRIEL'S MESSAGE

Watchman, Tell Us of the Night
Author: John Bowring Hymnal: Worship in Song #58 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Story of Jesus Lyrics: 1 *Watchman, tell us of the night,
What its signs of promise are:
Traveler, over yon mountain's height,
See that glory beaming star.
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of joy or hope foretell?
Traveler, yes; it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel.
2 Watchman, tell us of the night,
Higher yet that star ascends;
Traveler, blessedness and light,
Peace and truth its course portends.
Watchman, will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth?
Traveler, ages are its own;
See it bursts over all the earth.
3 Watchman, tell us of the night,
For the morning seems to dawn:
Traveler, darkness takes its flight,
Doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watchman, let thy wanderings cease;
Hie thee to thy quiet home:
Traveler, lo, the Prince of Peace,
Lo, the Son of God is come.
*Watcher, Guardian Scripture: Isaiah 21:11-12 Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH
Watchman, Tell Us of the Night
