O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillip Brooks, 1835-1893 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #91 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 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 Immanuel! AMEN.

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: Emily E S Elliott, 1836-1897 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #94 (1999) Meter: Irregular First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown, When Thou camest to earth for me; But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room For Thy holy Nativity. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 4 Thou cam'st, O Lord, with the living word That should set Thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 5 When heavens arches shall ring and her choir shall sing At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee!" and my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest and callest for me. AMEN. Topics: Advent and Nativity Languages: English Tune Title: MARGARET (ELLIOTT)

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #97 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King." The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing. 2 Still thro' the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way, With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo! The days are hastening on, By prophet-bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing. AMEN. Topics: Advent and Nativity Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid, And in a manger laid." 5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God on high, Who thus addressed their song, Who thus addressed their song. 6 "All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace: Good will henceforth from heaven to men, Begin and never cease! Begin and never cease!" AMEN. Topics: Advent and Nativity Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS

In the Bleak Midwinter

Author: Christina G. Rossetti Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #100 (1999) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak midwinter, long ago. 2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain; heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign. In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. 3 Angels and archangels may have gathered there, cherubim and seraphim thronged the air, but only his mother only, in her maiden bliss, worshiped the beloved with a kiss. 4 What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb, if I were a Wise Man, I would do my part, yet what I can I give him: give my heart.
