Born in the Night, Mary's Child

Author: Geoffrey Ainger Hymnal: WSH1972 #312 (1972) Lyrics: 1 Born in the night, Mary's Child, A long way from your home; Coming in need, Mary's Child, Born in a borrowed room. 2 Clear shining light, Mary's Child, Your face lights up our way; Light of the world, Mary's Child, Dawn on our darkened day. 3 Truth of our life, Mary's Child, You tell us God is good; Prove it is true, Mary's Child, Go to your cross of wood. 4 Hope of the world, Mary's Child, You're coming soon to reign; King of the earth, Mary's Child, Walk in our streets again.

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: WSH1972 #318 (1972) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining; Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall: Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Savior of all! 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would his favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. Amen. Topics: Christian Year Epiphany; Other Observances Christian Education Scripture: Luke 2:22-35 Tune Title: WALKER

Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella

Author: E. Cuthbert Nunn (1868-1914) Hymnal: WSH1972 #319 (1972) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella! Bring a torch, to the cradle run! It is Jesus, good folk of the village; Christ is born and Mary's calling; Ah! ah! beautiful is the Mother! Ah! ah! beautiful is her Son! 2 It is wrong when the Child is sleeping It is wrong to talk so loud; Silence, all, as you gather around. Lest your noise should waken Jesus. Hush! hush! see how fast He slumbers; Hush! hush! see how fast He sleeps! 3 Softly to the little stable. Softly for a moment come; Look and see how charming is Jesus, How he is warm, his cheeks are rosy. Hush! hush! see how the Child is sleeping; Hush! hush! see how He smiles in dreams.

Built on the Rock

Grundtvig; Carl Döving Hymnal: WSH1972 #320 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Built on the rock the church does stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the rock the church does stand, Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in every land, Bells still are chiming and calling; Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distressed, Longing for rest everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands God, the most high, is not dwelling; High above earth his temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet he whom heavens cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men, Built in our bodies his temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Builded for his habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns, Heirs of his wondrous salvation; Were we but two his name to tell, Yet he would deign with us to dwell, With all his grace and His favor. 4 Now we may gather with our King, E'en in the lowliest dwelling; Praises to him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy forth-telling; Jesus his grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all his words, His truth doth hollow the temple. Amen.
