O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth. Your voices raise to God in praise; and peace to all on earth; 3 How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts the joys of highest heaven. No ear may hear Christ 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 God, Emmanuel. Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS

We trust we were not made to die, for you have made us, you are just. 3 In you meet human and divine, the highest, holiest union known. We falsely call our powers our own until our wills with yours combine. 4 Our little systems have their day; they have their day and cease to be; They are but fleeting certainty, and you, O Christ, are more than they. 5 We have but faith; we cannot know, for knowledge is of things proved true; And yet we trust it comes from you, a sign of promise; let it grow. 6 Let knowledge grow from more to more, but more of reverence in us dwell; That mind and soul, according well, may make one music as before.
