Irish Carol
Author: Bishop Luke Wadding (1588-1687) Hymnal: The Oxford Book of Carols #6 (1928) Topics: Christmas First Line: Christmas Day is come; let's all prepare for mirth Lyrics: 1 Christmas Day is come; let's all prepare for mirth,
Which fills the heavens and earth at this amazing birth.
Through both the joyous angels, in strife and hurry fly,
With glory and Hosannas, 'All Holy' do they cry.
In Heaven the Church triumphant adores with all her choirs,
The militant on earth with humble faith admires.
2 But why should we rejoice? Should we not rather mourn
To see the Hope of Nations thus in a stable born?
Where are his crown and sceptre, where is his throne sublime,
Where is his train majestic that should the stars outshine?
Is there no sumptuous palace nor any inn at all
To lodge his heavenly mother but in a filthy stall?
3 Oh! cease, ye blessed angels, such clamorous joys to make!
Though midnight silence favours, the Shepherds are awake;
And you, O glorious star! that with new splendour brings
From the remotest parts three learned eastern Kings,
Turn somewhere else your lustre, your rays elsewhere display;
For Herod he may slay the babe, and Christ must straight away.
4 If we would rejoice, let's cancel the old score,
And, purposing amendment, resolve to sin no more—
For mirth can ne’er content us, without a conscience clear;
And thus we'll find true pleasure in all the usual cheer,
In dancing, sporting, revelling, with masquerade and drum;
So let our Christmas merry be, as Christians doth become.

When Christmas morn is dawning
Hymnal: Sunday School Book #24 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Christmas Lyrics: 1 When Christmas morn is dawning
In faith I would repair
Unto the lowly manger;
My Saviour lieth there.
2 How kind, O loving Saviour,
To come from heaven above!
From sin and evil save us.
And keep us in Thy love.
3 We need Thee, blessed Jesus,
Our dearest friend Thou art;
Forbid that we by sinning
Should grieve Thy loving heart.

Now we Bring Our Christmas Treasures
Author: Maria H. Bulfinch Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #31 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Christmas Lyrics: 1 Now we bring our Christmas treasures,
Loving thoughts and deeds we bring.
Child-like hearts we gladly offer
To the child, the children's King;
To the Child, who, in the manger,
Lay upon that Christmas morn,
When the angels came to tell us
That the children's King was born.
2 And He lives, throughout the ages,
Lives and reigns in earth and sky;
Angel hosts still sing the glory
Of the children's King on high.
Yet He cares for children's praises;
So, with heart and voice we sing:
"Glory in the highest glory
To the child, the children's King!"
Amen.

Sing with joy, 'tis Christmas Morn
Hymnal: Voices of Praise #54 (1883) Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ Christmas Lyrics: 1 Sing with joy, 'tis Christmas Morn,
Unto us a Child is born;
Christ hath come on earth to dwell,
God with us, Immanuel!
2 Shepherds, watching thro' the night,
Wondering at the dazzling light,
Hear the glorious Angel tell
Of the Hope of Israel.
3 Thousand thousand angels raise
Songs of glad triumphant praise;
Singing, through the starry sky,
"Glory be to God on High!"
4 Joyously the shepherds ran,
Knelt to Jesus--God and Man;
"Come," they bid us haste with them,
"See the Babe of Bethlehem"!
5 Jesus! whom we now adore,
May we love Thee more and more;
As by faith we, wondering, see
This Thy great humility!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS MORN
