The Shepherds Had an Angel
Author: Christina G. Rossetti Meter: Irregular Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The shepherds had an angel,
The wise men had a star,
But what have I, a little child,
To guide me home from far
Where glad stars sing together,
And singing angels are?
2 Lord Jesus is my guiding star,
My beacon light in heav'n;
He leads me step by step along
The path of life unev'n.
He, true Light, leads me to that land,
Whose day shall be as seven.
3 Those shepherds through the lonely night
Sat watching by their sheep,
Until they saw the heav'nly host
Who neither tire nor sleep,
All singing "Glory, glory"
In festival they keep.
4 Christ watches me, His little child,
Cares for me day and night,
That I may be His own in heav'n:
So angels clad in white
Shall sing their "Glory, glory"
For my sake in the height. Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: FELVER

Glad That I Live Am I
Author: Lizette Woodworth Reese Meter: 6.5.6.5 irregular Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glad that I live am I;
That the sky is blue;
Glad for the country lanes
And the fall of dew.
2. After the sun the rain,
After the rain the sun;
This is the way of life,
Till the work be done.
All that we need to do,
Be we low or high,
Is to see that we grow,
Nearer the sky.

The Little Jesus Came to Town
Author: Lizette Woodworth Reese Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The little Jesus came to town;
The wind blew up, the wind blew down;
Out in the street the wind was bold;
Now who would house him from the cold?
2 Then opened wide a stable door,
Fair were the rushes on the floor;
The Ox put forth a horned head;
"Come little Lord, here make thy bed."
3 Up rose the Sheep were folded near;
"Thou Lamb of God, come, enter here."
He entered there to rush and reed,
Who was the Lamb of God indeed.
4 The little Jesus came to town;
With ox and sheep he laid him down;
Peace tothe byre, and peac to the fold,
For that they housed him from the cold! Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: MANGER HYMN

Wise Men Seeking Jesus
Author: James East Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: Wise men seeking Jesus Lyrics: 1 Wise men seeking Jesus,
Traveled from afar,
Guided on their journey
By a beauteous star.
But if we desire him,
He is close at hand;
For our native country
Is our Holy Land.
2 Prayerful souls may find him
By our quiet lakes,
Meet him on our hillsides
When the morning breaks.
In our fertile cornfields
While the sheaves are bound,
In our busy markets
Jesus may be found.
3 Every peaceful village
In our land might be,
Made by Jesus' presence
Like sweet Bethany.
He is more than near us,
If we love him well;
For he seeketh ever
In our hearts to dwell. Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: GUIDING STAR
