'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime
Author: Jesse Edgar Middleton; Jean de Brébeuf Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 with refrain Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Refrain First Line: Jesus Emmanuel, Jesus is born Lyrics: 1 ’Twas in the moon of wintertime,
when all the birds had fled,
that mighty Gitchi Manitou
sent angel choirs instead;
Before their light the stars grew dim,
and wondering hunters heard the hymn:
Refrain:
Jesus Emmanuel, Jesus is born,
in excelsis gloria.
2 Within a lodge of broken bark
the tender babe was found;
a ragged robe of rabbit skin
enwrapped his beauty round;
But as the hunter braves drew nigh,
the angel song rang loud and high: [Refrain]
3 The earliest moon of wintertime
is not so round and fair
as was the ring of glory on
the helpless Infant there.
The chiefs from far before him knelt
with gifts of fox and beaver pelt. [Refrain]
4 O children of the forest free,
O seed of Manitou,
the holy Child of earth and heaven
is born today for you.
Come kneel before the radiant Child,
who brings you beauty, peace, so mild. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Jesus Christ Birth and Infancy; Year A Epiphany; Year B Epiphany; Year C Epiphany Used With Tune: UNE JEUNE PUCELLE

Jesus, Our Brother, Strong and Good

“I carried your mother uphill and down,
I carried your mother to Bethlehem town;
I,” said the donkey, shaggy and brown.

“I gave you my manger for your bed,
I gave you hay to pillow your head;
I,” said the cow, all white and red.

“I gave you my wool for a blanket warm,
you wore my coat on Christmas morn;
I,” said the sheep with curly horn.

“I cooed you to sleep that you should not cry,
we cooed you to sleep, my love and I;
I,” said the dove, from the rafters high.

in the stable dark were glad to tell
of the gifts they gave Emmanuel,
the gifts they gave Emmanuel. Topics: Christmas; Jesus Christ Birth and Infancy; Year A Advent 4 Used With Tune: ORIENTIS PARTIBUS Text Sources: French carol, 12th century, Trans. anon.

Author: Philipp Nicolai; John Christian Jacobi; William Mercer Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.2.2.4.4.4.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Lyrics: 1 How bright appears the Morning Star
with mercy beaming from afar;
the host of heav'n rejoices;
O righteous Branch, O Jesse’s Rod,
O Son of man, and Son of God,
we too will lift our voices.
Jesus, Jesus, holy, holy, yet most lowly,
now draw near us;
great Emmanuel, kindly hear us.
2 Though circled by the hosts on high,
he deigned to cast a loving eye
upon his helpless creature;
the whole creation’s Head and Lord,
by highest seraphim adored,
assumed our very nature.
Jesus, grant us through your merit, to inherit
your salvation;
hear, O hear our supplication.
3 Rejoice, O heav'ns, and earth reply;
with praise, you sinners, fill the sky
for this, his incarnation.
Incarnate God, put forth your pow'r;
ride on, ride on, great Conqueror,
till all know your salvation.
Amen, amen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise be given
evermore by earth and heaven. Topics: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas Used With Tune: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET DER MORGENSTERN (NICOLAI)

God, we praise you, God, we bless you!
Author: Christopher M. Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:21-23 Lyrics: 1 God, we praise you, God, we bless you!
God, we name you sovereign Lord!
Mighty King whom angels worship,
Father, by your Church adored:
all creation shows your glory,
heaven and earth draw near your throne,
singing 'Holy, holy, holy,
Lord of hosts, and God alone!'
2 True apostles, faithful prophets,
saints who set their world ablaze,
martyrs, once unknown, unheeded,
join one growing song of praise,
while your church on earth confesses
one majestic Trinity:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
God, our hope eternally.
3 Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
everlasting Son of God,
humble was your virgin mother,
hard the lonely path you trod.
By your cross is sin defeated,
hell confronted face to face,
heaven opened to believers,
sinners justified by grace.
4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious,
you will judge the world you made;
Lord, in mercy help your servants
for whose freedom you have paid.
Raise us up from dust to glory,
guard us from all sin today;
King enthroned above all praises,
save your people, God, we pray! Topics: Easter II Year C Used With Tune: REX GLORIÆ Text Sources: Te Deum Laudamus
God, we praise you, God, we bless you!
