O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 882 hymnals Topics: Blessing (blessedness) 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 wondering 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 today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel!

The man is ever blest

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Blessedness of obedience Lyrics: 1 That one is ever blest Who shuns the sinners’ ways, Among their councils never stands, Nor takes a scorner's place. 2 But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amidst the labors of the day And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root: Fresh as the leaf, his name shall live, His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th'ungodly race, They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before the judgment-seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves The way the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow.
