Go to dark Gethsemane
It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-1876 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 873 hymnals Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Christmas; Christian Year Christmas 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, good will 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 it Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife,
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the heav'nly hymn have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And waring humankind hears not
The tidings which they bring;
O hush the noise and cease your strife
And hear the angels sing.
4 For, lo, the days are hast'ning on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And all the world give back the song
Which now the angels sing. Scripture: Luke 2:10-11 Used With Tune: CAROL

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
Author: Anonymous Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 547 hymnals Topics: The Christian Year Christmas Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
And stay by my bedside till morning is nigh.

Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there. Used With Tune: CRADLE SONG Text Sources: Philadelphia 1883

Great David's greater Son!
Hail in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Are precious in His sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
Love, joy, and hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth:
Before Him, on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald, go,
And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.
4 To Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end:
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove,
His name shall stand forever;
That Name to us is Love. Scripture: Luke 4:18 Used With Tune: SHEFFIELD
