Away in a Manger
Author: Unknown Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 561 hymnals Topics: Christmas Day 2 Year A; Christmas Day 2 Year C First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
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.

Son of God, eternal saviour
Author: S. T. C. Lowry (1855-1932) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Christmas 2 The Holy Family Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal saviour,
source of life and truth and grace;
Son of Man whose birth among us
hallows all our human race:
Christ our head, for all your people
you have never ceased to plead;
fill us with your love and pity,
heal our wrongs, and help our need.
2 Lord, as you have lived for others,
so may we for others live;
freely have your gifts been granted,
freely may your servants give:
yours the gold and yours the silver,
all the wealth of sea and land;
we but stewards of your riches
held in trust at your command.
3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us,
king of Love, and prince of peace;
hush the storm of strife and passion,
bid its cruel discords cease:
by your patient years of toiling,
by your silent hours of pain,
quench our fevered thirst of pleasure,
shame our selfish greed for gain.
4 Son of God, eternal saviour,
source of life and truth and grace;
Son of Man, whose birth among us
hallows all our human race:
you have prayed and you have purposed
that your people shall be one;
grant to us our hope’s fulfilment —
here on earth your will be done! Used With Tune: EVERTON

Wise men, they came to look for wisdom
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
Wise men, they came to look for wisdom

reigning omnipotent in every place:
so come, O King, and our whole being sway;
shine on us with the light of thy pure day.

and all our substance and our strength receive;
sustain us by thy faith and by thy power,
and give us strength in every trying hour.
4 Thou hast the true and perfect gentleness,
no harshness hast thou and no bitterness:
O grant to us the grace we find in thee,
that we may dwell in perfect unity.
5 Our hope is in no other save in thee;
our faith is built upon thy promise free;
Lord, give us peace, and make us calm and sure,
that in thy strength we evermore endure. Used With Tune: SONG 24 Text Sources: French Psalter, Strassburg, 1545
