Refrain:
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
2 In Bethlehem, in Jewry,
this blessèd babe was born,
and laid within a manger,
upon this blessèd morn;
at which his mother Mary
did nothing take in scorn. [Refrain]
3 From God, our heav'enly Father,
a blessèd angel came,
and unto certain shepherds
brought tidings of the same,
how that in Bethlehem was born
the Son of God by name. [Refrain]
4 'Fear not,' then said the angel,
'let nothing you affright,
this day is born a Saviour,
of virtue, pow'r and might;
by him the world is overcome
and Satan put to flight.'[Refrain]
5 The shepherds at those tidings
rejoicèd much in mind,
and left their flock a-feeding,
in tempest, storm and wind,
and went to Bethlehem straightway
this blessèd babe to find. [Refrain]
6 But when to Bethlehem they came,
whereat this infant lay,
they found him in a manger
where oxen feed on hay;
his mother Mary kneeling,
unto the Lord did pray. [Refrain]
7 Now to the Lord sing praises,
all you within this place,
and with true love and fellowship
each other now embrace;
this holy tide of Christmas
all others doth deface. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Used With Tune: GOD REST YOU MERRY Text Sources: Traditional English, alt.

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Christmas Day 1 Year A Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her child
lowly in a manger;
there he lay, the undefiled,
to the world a stranger.
Such a Babe in such a place,
can he be the Saviour?
Ask the saved of all the race
who have found his favour.
2 Angels sang about his birth,
wise Men sought and found him;
heaven’s star shone brightly forth,
glory all around him.
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight,
heard the angels singing;
all the plains were lit that night,
all the hills were ringing.
3 Gentle Mary laid her child
lowly in a manger;
he is still the undefiled,
but no more a stranger.
Son of God of humble birth,
beautiful the story;
praise his name in all the earth;
hail the King of glory! Used With Tune: GENTLE MARY
Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
It came upon the midnight clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears, 1810-1876 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 880 hymnals Topics: Years A, B, and C Christmas Day 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, good-will 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 Yet with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long;
beneath the angel-strain have rolled
two thousand years of wrong;
and warring humankind hears not
the love-song which they bring;
O just the noise of mortal strife,
and hear the angels sing!
4 And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
whose forms are bending low,
who toil along the climbing way
with painful steps and slow:
look now! for glad and golden hours
come swiftly on the wing,
O rest beside the weary road,
and hear the angels sing.
5 For lo! the days are hast'ning on,
by prophets seen of old,
when with the ever-circling years
comes round the age of gold;
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendours fling,
and the whole world send back the song
which now the angels sing.

It came upon the midnight clear
Once in royal David's city
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 411 hymnals Topics: Christmas Day Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall;
with the poor and mean and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And through all his wondrous childhood
he would honour and obey,
love and watch the lowly maiden,
in whose gentle arms he lay:
Christian children all must be
mild, obedient, good as he.
4 For he is our childhood's pattern,
day by day like us he grew,
he was little, weak, and helpless,
tears and smiles like us he knew;
and he feeleth for our sadness,
and he shareth in our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love,
for that child so dear and gentle
is our Lord in heaven above;
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone.
6 Not in that poor lowly stable,
with the oxen standing by,
we shall see him; but in heaven,
set at God's right hand on high;
where like stars his children crowned
all in white shall wait around. Scripture: Acts 10:36 Used With Tune: IRBY

At the name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel, 1817-1877 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 256 hymnals Topics: Years A, B, and C Christmas Day Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus
ev'ry knee shall bow,
ev'ry tongue confess him
King of glory now:
'tis the Father's pleasure
we should call him Lord,
who, from the beginning,
was the mighty Word.
2 At his voice creation
sprang at once to sight,
all the angel faces,
all the hosts of light,
thrones and dominations,
stars upon their way,
all the heavenly orders,
in their great array.
3 Humbled for a season,
to receive a name
from the lips of sinners
unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it
spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious,
when from death he passed:
4 Bore it up triumphant
with its human light,
through all ranks of creatures,
to the central height,
to the throne of Godhead,
to the Father's breast;
filled it with the glory,
of that perfect rest.
5 Name him, Christians, name him,
with love strong as death,
but with awe and wonder
and with bated breath:
he is God the Saviour,
he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshipped,
trusted, and adored.
6 In your hearts enthrone him;
there let him subdue
all that is not holy,
all that is not true:
crown him as your Captain
in temptation's hour;
let his will enfold you
in its light and power.
7 Surely, this Lord Jesus
shall return again,
with his Father's glory,
with his angel train;
for all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him
King of glory now. Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 1:7 Used With Tune: EVELYNS
At the name of Jesus

Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
