Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, heard the angels singing; all the plains were lit that night, all the hills were ringing. 3 Gentle Mary laid her child lowly in a manger; he is still the undefiled, but no more a stranger. Son of God of humble birth, beautiful the story; praise his name in all the earth; hail the King of glory! Used With Tune: GENTLE MARY

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. 3 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be overthrown; God shall help her at the break of day. 4 The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are shaken; God has spoken, and the earth shall melt away.

It is he who makes war to cease in all the world; he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, and burns the shields with fire. 6 "Be still, then, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth." The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: [God is our refuge and strength] Text Sources: The Book of Common Prayer
