While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

Author: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Appears in 1,096 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ the Savior Christmas Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around, And glory shone around. 2 "Fear not!" said he; for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind, "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind, To you and all mankind. 3 "To you, in David's town this day Is born of David's line, The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord, And this shall be the sign: And this shall be the sign: 4 "The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid; And in a manger laid. 5 "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."

There’s a star in the sky! There’s a mother’s deep prayer, And a baby’s low cry! And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing, For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King! 2 There’s a tumult of joy O’er the wonderful birth, For the virgin’s sweet boy Is the Lord of the earth. Ay! the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing, For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King! 3 In the light of that star Lie the ages impearled, And that song from afar Has swept over the world. Every hearth is aflame, and the beautiful sing In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King! 4 We rejoice in the light, And we echo the song That comes down through the night From the heavenly throng. Ay! we shout to the lovely evangel they bring, And we greet in His cradle our Savior and King! Amen. Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS SONG

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Appears in 842 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ the Savior Christmas 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 Emmanuel. Amen.

Look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there. Amen. Used With Tune: MUELLER Text Sources: Source unknown (sts. 1, 2)
