In the bleak midwinter
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) Meter: Irregular Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter
frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron,
water like a stone:
snow had fallen,
snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter,
long ago.
2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him,
nor earth sustain;
heaven and earth shall flee away
when he comes to reign:
in the bleak midwinter
a stable place sufficed
the Lord God Almighty,
Jesus Christ.
3 Enough for him whom cherubim
worship night and day,
a breastful of milk
and a mangerful of hay:
enough for him
whom angels fall down before,
the ox and ass and camel
which adore.
4 Angels and archangels
may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim
thronged the air,
but only his mother,
in her maiden bliss,
worshiped the Beloved
with a kiss.
5 What can I give him,
poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,
I would bring a lamb,
if I were a wise man
I would do my part,
yet what I can I give him,
give my heart.

When all the birds had fled,
That God the Lord of all the earth
Sent angel choirs instead;
Before their light the stars grew dim,
And wand'ring hunters heard the hymn:
Jesus your king is born;
Jesus is born,
In excelsis gloria.
2 The earliest moon of wintertime
Is not so round and fair
As was the ring of glory 'round
The helpless infant there.
The chiefs from far before him knelt
With gifts of fox and beaver pelt.
Jesus your king is born;
Jesus is born,
In excelsis gloria.
3 O children of the forest free,
The angel song is true;
The holy child of earth and sky
Is born this day for you;
Come kneel before the radiant boy,
Who brings you beauty, peace, and joy.
Jesus your king is born;
Jesus is born,
In excelsis gloria. Topics: Seasons and Feasts Epiphany Used With Tune: UNE JEUNE PUCELLE

Of the Virgin undefiled!

Eager now his race to run!

Back to God he runs his course,
Down to death and hell descends,
God's high throne he reascends.

Hallows night with newborn light;
Let no night this light subdue,
Let our faith shine ever new.

Tú dejaste tu trono
Author: Emily Steele Elliot Meter: 12.9.12.9 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:7 First Line: Tú dejaste tu trono y corona por mí Lyrics: 1 Tú dejaste tu trono y corona por mí,
al venir a Belén a nacer;
mas a ti no fue dado el entrar al mesón
y en pesebre te hicieron nacer.
2 Alabanzas celestes los ángeles dan,
en que rinden al Verbo loor;
mas humilde viniste a la tierra, Señor,
a dar vida al más vil pecador.
3 Siempre pueden las zorras sus cuevas tener,
y las aves sus nidos también;
Mas el Hijo del Hombre no tuvo un lugar
en el cual reclinara su sien.
4 Tú viniste, Señor, con tu gran bendición
para dar libertad y salud;
Mas con odio y desprecio te hicieron morir,
aunque vieron tu amor y virtud.
5 Alabanzas sublimes los cielos darán,
cuando vengas glorioso de allí,
Y tu voz en las nubes dirá: "Ven a mí,
que hay lugar junto a mí para ti".
