Author: L. C. Hamerton Hymnal: CHRC1920 #651 (1920) First Line: Waken, Christian children! Lyrics: 1 Waken, Christian children! Up and let us sing With glad voice, the praises Of our newborn King. Up! 'tis meet to welcome With a joyous lay Christ, the King of Glory, Born for us to-day. Come, nor fear to seek Him, Children though we be; Once He said of children, "Let them come to me." Waken, Christian children, Up! and let us sing, With glad voice, the praises Of our newborn King. 2 In a manger lowly Sleeps the heavenly Child; O'er Him fondly bendeth Mary, Mother mild. Far above that stable, Up in Heaven so high, One bright star outshineth Watching silently. Fear not then to enter, Though we cannot bring Gold, or myrrh or incense Fitting for a King. Waken, etc. 3 Gifts He asketh richer, Offerings costlier still; Yet may Christian children Bring them if they will. Brighter than all jewels Shines the modest eye; Best of gifts, He loveth Infant purity. Haste we then to welcome With a joyous lay Christ, the King of Glory, Born for us to-day. Waken, etc. Topics: Youth and School Life Carols Languages: English Tune Title: [Waken, Christian children!]

Yet wakes the sun as joyous As when the Lord was born, And still He comes to greet you On every Christmas morn. [Chorus] 3 Where'er His sweet lambs gather Within this gentle fold, The Saviour dear is waiting near As in the days of old; In each young heart you see Him, In every guileless face You see the Holy Jesus, Who grew in truth and grace. [Chorus] 4 Then sing your gladsome carols, And hail the newborn Sun; For Christmas light is passing bright, It smiles on every one. And feast Christ's little children His poor, His orphan call; For He who chose the manger, He loveth one and all.

Like silver lamps in a distant shrine

Author: W. C. Dix Hymnal: CHRC1920 #658 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Like silver lamps in a distant shrine, The stars are sparkling bright; The bells of the city of God ring out, For the Son of Mary is born tonight. The gloom is past, And the morn at last Is coming with orient light. 2 No earthly songs are half so sweet As those which are filling the skies, And never a palace shone half so fair As the manger bed where our Saviour lies; No night in the year Is half so dear As this which has ended our sighs. 3 The stars of heaven still shine as at first They gleamed on this wonderful night, The bells of the city of God peal out, And the angels' song still rings in the height, And love still turns Where the God-head burns, Hid in flesh from fleshly sight. 4 Faith sees no longer the stable floor, The pavement of sapphire is there, The clear light of heaven streams out to the world, And the angels of God are crowding the air. And heaven and earth, Thro' the spotless birth, Are at peace on this night so fair. Topics: Youth and School Life Carols Languages: English Tune Title: [Like silver lamps in a distant shrine]

Nowell, Nowell

Hymnal: CHRC1920 #660 (1920) First Line: The first Nowell the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Refrain: Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. 2 They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East, beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain] 3 And by the light of that same star Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain] 4 This star drew nigh to the north-west, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain] 5 Then entered in those wise men three Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there in His presence, Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [Refrain] 6 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord; That hath made heaven and earth of nought, And with His Blood mankind hath bought.
