Once in royal David’s city
Author: Cecil F. Alexander (1818-1895) Hymnal: HTC #67 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David’s city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all;
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall:
with the poor and meek and lowly
lived on earth our saviour holy.
3 And through all his wondrous childhood
he would honour and obey,
love and watch the gentle mother
in whose tender arms he lay:
Christian children all should be
kind, obedient,good as he.
4 For he is our childhood’s pattern:
day by day like us he grew;
he was little, weak and helpless;
tears and smiles like us he knew:
and he feels for all our sadness,
and he shares in all our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love;
for that child, so dear and gentle,
is our Lord in heaven above:
and he leads his children on
to the place where he has gone.
6 Not in that poor lowly stable
with the oxen standing by,
we shall see him, but in heaven,
set at God’s right hand on high;
there his children gather round,
bright like stars, with glory crowned. Topics: God, Saviour Promised and Incarnate; Christmas 1 The Incarnation Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

When things began to happen
Within a crib my saviour lay
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Hymnal: HTC #70 (1987) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Within a crib my saviour lay,
a wooden manger filled with hay,
come down for love on Christmas Day:
all glory be to Jesus!
2 Upon a cross my saviour died,
to ransom sinners crucified,
his loving arms still open wide:
all glory be to Jesus!
3 A victor's crown my saviour won,
his work of love and mercy done,
the Father's high-ascended Son:
all glory be to Jesus! Topics: God, Saviour Promised and Incarnate; Christmas 1 The Incarnation Languages: English Tune Title: LORD OF LOVE

The people who in darkness walked
Author: J. Morison, 1750-1798 Hymnal: HTC #71 (1987) Lyrics: 1 The people who in darkness walked
have seen a glorious light;
that light shines out on those who lived
in shadows of the night.
2 To greet you, Sun of righteousness,
the gathering nations come;
rejoicing as when reapers bring
their harvest treasures home.
3 For now to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and on his shoulders ever rests
all power in earth and heaven.
4 His name shall be the prince of peace,
eternally adored;
most wonderful of counselors,
the great and mighty Lord.
5 His peace and righteous government
shall over all extend;
on judgment and on justice based,
his reign shall never end. Topics: God, Saviour Promised and Incarnate; Christmas 1 The Incarnation Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE
The people who in darkness walked
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
Author: unknown; J. T. McFarland Hymnal: HTC #72 (1987) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head;
the stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay;
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
2 The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes:
I love you, Lord Jesus — look down from on high
and stay by my side until morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask you to stay
close by me for ever and love me, I pray;
Bless all the dear children in your tender care;
and fit us for heaven to live with you there.
