All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon Virgin mother and Child.
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace!
Sleep in heavenly peace!

Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born!

Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

Wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;

Once He Came in Blessing
Author: J. Horn, c. 1490-1547; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: ELH1996 #141 (1996) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Once he came in blessing,
All our ills redressing;
Came in likeness lowly,
Son of God most holy;
Bore the cross to save us,
Hope and freedom gave us.
2 Still He comes within us;
Still His voice would win us
From the sins that hurt us;
Would to truth convert us
From our foolish error
Ere He comes in terror.
3 Who by faith endureth
Bright reward secureth.
Come, then, O Lord Jesus,
From our sins release us;
Let us here confess Thee
Till in heav'n we bless Thee.

The Happy Christmas Comes Once More
Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig, 1783-1872; C. P. Krauth, 1823-83 Hymnal: ELH1996 #143 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The happy Christmas comes once more;
The heav'nly Guest is at the door,
The blessed words the shepherds thrill,
The joyous tidings: Peace, goodwill.
2 To David's city let us fly,
Where angels sing beneath the sky;
Through plainand village pressing near,
And news from God with shepherds hear.
3 O let us go with quiet mind,
The gentle Babe with shepherds find,
To gaze on Him who gladdens them,
The loveliest flow'r on Jesse's stem.
4 The lowly Savior meekly lies,
Laid off the splendor of the skies;
No crown bedecks His forehead fair,
No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there.
5 No human glory, might, and gold,
The lovely infant's form enfold;
The manger and the swaddlings poor
Are His, whom angels' songs adore.
6 O wake our hearts, in gladness sing,
And keep our Christmas with our King,
Till living song, from loving souls,
Like sound of mighty water rolls!
7 O holy Child, Thy manger gleams
Till earth and heav'n glow with it beams,
Till midnight hath noon's brightness won,
And Jacob's Star outshines the sun.
8 Thou patriarchs' joy, Thou prophets' song,
Thou heav'nly Day-spring looked for long,
Thou Son of Man, incarnate Word,
Great David's Son, great David's Lord!
9 Come, Jesus, glorious heav'nly Guest,
Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast;
Then David's harp-string, hushed so long,
Shall swell our jubilee of song.

Thy Little Ones, Dear Lord, Are We
Author: H. A. Brorson , 1694-1764; H. R. K. Spaeth, 1845-1925 Hymnal: ELH1996 #144 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thy little ones, dear Lord, are we,
And come Thy lowly bed to see;
Enlighten ev'ry soul and mind,
That we the way to Thee may find.
2 With songs we hasten Thee to greet
And kiss the dust before Thy feet;
O blessed hour, O sweetest night,
That gave Thee birth, our soul's delight.
3 Now welcome! From Thy heav'nly home
Thou to our vale of tears art come;
Man hath no off'ring for Thee save
The stable, manger, cross, and grave.
4 Jesus, alas! how can it be
So few bestow a thought on Thee
Or on the love, so wondrous great,
That drew Thee down to our estate?
5 O draw us wholly to Thee, Lord,
Do Thou to us Thy grace accord,
True faith and love to us impart,
That we may hold Thee in our heart.
6 Keep us, howe'er the world may lure,
In our baptismal cov'nant pure;
That ev'ry yearning thought may be
Directed only unto Thee.
7 Until at last we, too, proclaim,
With all Thy saints, Thy glorious name;
In Paradise our songs renew,
And praise Thee as the angels do.
8 We gather round Thee, Jesus dear,
So happy in Thy presence here;
Grant us, our Savior, ev'ry one,
To stand in heav'n before Thy throne. Topics: Nativity of our Lord Languages: English Tune Title: HER KOMMER DINE ARME SMAA

What Child Is This?
Author: W. C. Dix, 1837-98 Hymnal: ELH1996 #145 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.8.6.7 First Line: What Child is this, who, laid to rest Lyrics: 1 What child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
2 Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne for me, for you;
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh;
Come, peasant, king, to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby;
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

When Christmas Morn Is Dawning
While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
Author: N. Tate, 1672-1715 Hymnal: ELH1996 #147 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night 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.
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.
3 "To you, in David's town, this day,
Is born of David's line
A Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign:
4 The heav'nly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swaddling-clothes
And in a manger laid."
5 Thus spake the seraph,and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, and thus
Addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good will henceforth from Heav'n to men
Begin and never cease."

Praise God the Lord, Ye Sons of Men
Author: N. Herman, 1480-1561; A. Crull, 1845-1923 Hymnal: ELH1996 #148 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Praise God the Lord, ye sons of men,
Before His highest throne;
Today He opens heav'n again
And gives us His own Son,
And gives us His own Son.
2 He leaves His heav'nly Father's throne,
Is born an infant small,
And in a manger, poor and lone,
Lies in a humble stall,
Lies in a humble stall.
3 He veils in flesh His pow'r divine
A servant's form to take;
In want and lowliness must pine
Who heav'n and earth did make,
Who heav'n and earth did make.
4 He nestles at His mother's breast,
Receives her tender care,
Whom angels hail with joy most blest,
King David's royal Heir,
King David's royal Heir.
5 'Tis He who in these latter days
From Judah's tribe should come,
By whom the Father would upraise
The Church, His Christendom,
The Church, His Christendom.
6 A wondrous change which He does make!
He takes our flesh and blood,
And He conceals for sinners' sake
His majesty of God,
His majesty of God.
7 He serves that I a lord may be;
A great exchange indeed!
Could Jesus' love do more for me
To help me in my need,
To help me in my need?
8 For us He opens wide the door
Of Paradise today;
The angel guards the gate no more,
To God our thanks we pay,
To God our thanks we pay.

In Thee is Gladness
Author: J. Lindemann, 1549-1631; C. Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: ELH1996 #149 (1996) First Line: In Thee is gladness Amid all sadness Lyrics: 1 In Thee is gladness
Amid all sadness,
Jesus, Sunshine of my heart!
By Thee are given
The gifts of heaven;
Thou the true Redeemer art.
Our souls Thou wakest;
Our bonds Thou breakest.
Who trusts Thee surely
Has built securely
And stands forever: Alleluia!
Our hearts are pining
To see Thy shining,
Dying or living
To Thee are cleaving;
Naught can us sever: Alleluia!
2 If He is ours
We fear no powers,
Nor of earth or sin or death.
He sees and blesses
In worst distresses;
He can change them with a breath.
Wherefore the story
Tell of His glory
With heart and voices;
All heav'n rejoices
In Him for ever: Alleluia!
We shout for gladness,
Triumph o'er sadness,
Love Him and praise Him
And still shall raise Him
Glad hymns for ever: Alleluia!
