The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. 2 The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky, and stay by my side until morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay close by me for ever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in your tender care, and fit us for heaven, to live with you there. Used With Tune: CRADLE SONG

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Christmas 2 The Wise Men Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom, finding one wiser than they knew; rich men, they met with one yet richer — King of the kings, they knelt to you: Jesus, our wisdom from above, wealth and redemption, life and love. 2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries, searching for one who knows the world; lost are their names, and strange their journeys, famed is their zeal to find the child: Jesus, in you the lost are claimed, aliens are found, and known, and named. 3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendour, led by a star to light supreme; promised Messiah, Lord eternal, glory and peace are in your name. Joy of each day, our Song by night, shine on our path your holy light. 4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures, incense and gold and solemn myrrh; welcoming one too young to question how came these gifts, and what they were: Gift beyond price of gold or gem, make among us your Bethlehem. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11 Used With Tune: NEUMARK
