God is man, man to deliver, And the Son Now is one With our blood forever. 3 Should we fear our God's displeasure, Who, to save, Freely gave His most precious treasure? To redeem us He has given His own Son From the throne Of His might in heaven. 4 See the lamb, our sin once taking To the cross, Suff'ring loss, Full atonement making. For our life His own He tenders, And His grace All our race Fit for glory renders. 5 Softly from His lowly manger Jesus calls One and all, "You are safe from danger. Children, from the sins that grieve you You are freed; All you need I will surely give you." 6 Come, then, banish all your sadness! One and all, Great and small, Come with songs of gladness. We shall live with Him forever There on high In that joy Which will vanish never. Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Languages: English Tune Title: FRÖHLICH SOLL MIEN HERZE SPRINGEN

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93 Hymnal: LSB2006 #361 (2006) 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 wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the king And peace to all the earth! 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav'n. 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! Scripture: Luke 2:1-15 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-76 Hymnal: LSB2006 #366 (2006) 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, goodwill to all, From heav'n's all-gracious king." The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world. Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hov'ring wing, And ever o'er its babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 All you, beneath your heavy load, By care and guilt bent low, Who toil along a dreary way With painful steps and slow: Look up, for golden is the hour, Come swiftly on the wing, The Prince was born to bring you peace; Of Him the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days have come to pass By prophets seen of old, When down into the circling years Came Christ as was foretold. His word of peace shall to the earth God's ancient promise bring, And all who take this gift will hear The song the angels sing.
