While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

Begin and never cease!" Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: NNBH2001 #84 (2001) 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 men, From heav'n's all gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still thru 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 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. 4 For lo, the days are hast'ning on By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.

Angels, from the Realms of Glory

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.

The First Noel

Hymnal: NNBH2001 #87 (2001) First Line: The first noel the angel did say Refrain First Line: Noel, noel! Lyrics: 1 The first noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay - In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Refrain: Noel, noel! Noel, noel! 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 northwest, 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 rev'rently 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 heav'nly Lord, That hath made heav'n and earth of naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: NNBH2001 #90 (2001) 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 men on 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; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel! Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS
