O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #715 (1969) 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! Topics: The Christian Year Christmastide Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Author: Joseph Simpson Cook, 1859-1933 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #716 (1969) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her Child Lowly in a manger; There he lay, the Undefiled, To the world a stranger. Such a Babe in such a place, Can he be the Saviour? Ask the saved of all the race Who have found his favor. 2 Angels sang about his birth, Wise men sought and found him; Heaven's star shone brightly forth Glory all around him. 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! Topics: The Christian Year Christmastide Tune Title: TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM

This Little Babe So Few Days Old

Author: Robert Southwell, 1561-95 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #717 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 This little Babe so few days old Is come to rifle Satan's fold; All hell doth at his presence quake, Though he himself for cold do shake; For in this weak unarmed wise The gates of hell he will surprise. 2 With tears he fights and wins the field His naked breast stands for a shield; His battering shot are babish cries, His arrows looks of weeping eyes, His martial ensigns Cold and Need, And feeble Flesh his warrior's steed. 3 His camp is pitchèd in a stall, His bulwark but a broken wall; The crib his trench, haystalks his stakes; Of shepherds he his muster makes; And thus, as sure his foe to wound, The angels' trumps alarum sound. 4 My soul, with Christ join thou in fight; Stick to His tents that he hath pight.* Within his crib is surest ward; This little Babe will be thy Guard. If thou wilt foil thy foes with joy, Then flit not from this heavenly Boy. * pight=pitched, set up Topics: The Christian Year Christmastide Tune Title: DAS NEUGEBORNE KINDELEIN

The glorious angels came today Aglow with light into the night of darkness deep, To shepherds who by moon's bright ray Did in the field o'er sheep their silent vigil keep. "Joy, great joy and tidings glad we bring from heaven resounding, For you, for you and all the world abounding." God's own Son is born a child, is born a child; God the Father is reconciled, is reconciled! 2 He whom sages, westward faring, Myrrh and gold and incense bearing. Humbly worshiped, offerings sharing: Judah's Lion reigns this morn! "God's majesty has come to earth And sent his only Son to you in humankind; A chosen virgin gave him birth, In David's town the holy Infant you will find, Lying helpless in a manger, poor and bare and lowly, To set you free from all your sorrow wholly." God's own Son is born a child, is born a child; God the Father is reconciled, is reconciled! 3 Sing with Mary, maiden mother; Laud her Son, our newborn Brother; Angel ranks, lead one another, Hailing him in holy joy! Then sang the angels this refrain: "To God on high alone give praise and glory, And peace on earth again shall reign; Let all mankind with gladness heed this story And rejoice in his good will." The Savior came in meekness For you, for you to bear your flesh in weakness. God's own Son is born a child, is born a child; God the Father is reconciled, is reconciled! 4 To our King, God ever-reigning, Yet of Mary manhood gaining, Heavenly gifts for us obtaining, Raise your hymns of homage high! The wondering shepherds said, "Behold, Let us now go with all good speed to Bethlehem To see this thing the Lord has told. The cattle leave; he will indeed take care of them." There they found the Wonder Babe, in lowly swaddling clothes lying, Though all the world with his free grace supplying.
