Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!” Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies: Universal nature say, "Christ the Lord is born today!' Refrain: Hark! the herald angels sing: “Glory to the newborn King!” 2 Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail the incarnate Deity! Pleased as Man with us to dwell, Jesus, our Immanuel. Hail, the heavenly Prince of Peace, Hail, the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings. [Refrain] 3 Mild He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die; Born to raise the sons of earth; Born to give them second birth. Come, Desire of nations, come, Fix in us Thy humble home; O to all Thyself impart, Formed in each believing heart! [Refrain] Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MENDELSSOHN

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #36 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: Mystical union 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 darkness 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 men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous Gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. 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 to-day. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell: O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel! Amen.

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #47 (1926) Meter: Irregular Topics: Mystical union First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown When Thou camest to earth for me; But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room For Thy holy nativity. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus" There is room in my heart for Thee. 3 The foxes found rest, and the bird had its nest In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word That should set Thy children free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. 5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room, There is room at my side for thee." My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest to call for me. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 8:20 Languages: English Tune Title: MARGARET

Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WER WEISS, WIE NAHE MIR MEIN ENDE

Light of the Gentile Nations

Author: Johann Franck; Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #65 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Mystical union Lyrics: 1 Light of the Gentile nations, Thy people’s joy and love, Drawn by Thy Spirit hither, We gladly come to prove Thy presence in Thy temple, And wait with earnest mind, As Simeon once had waited His Saviour God to find. 2 O Lord, Thy servants meet Thee, E’en now, in every place, Where Thy true Word hath promised, That they should see Thy face. Thou yet wilt gently grant us, Who gather round Thee here, In faith’s strong arms to bear Thee As once that aged seer. 3 Be Thou our joy, our brightness, That shines ’mid pain and loss, Our sun in times of terror, The glory round our cross: A glow in sinking spirits, A sunbeam in distress, Physician, friend in sickness, In death our happiness. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful With Simeon to the end, That so his dying song may From all our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let Thy servant Depart in peace for aye, Since I have seen my Saviour, Have here beheld His day." 5 My Saviour, I behold Thee Now with the eye of faith; No foe of Thee can rob me, Though bitter words he saith; Within Thy heart abiding, As Thou dost dwell in me, No pain, no death has terrors To part my soul from Thee. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN
