Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
Author: Theodore Baker, 1851-1934 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:7 Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As seers of old have sung.
It came, a blossom bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind,
With Mary we behold it,
The Virgin Mother kind.
To show God's love aright
She bore to us a Savior,
When half spent was the night.
3 O Flower, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispel in glorious splendor
The darkness ev'rywhere;
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death now save us,
And share our ev'ry load.

Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light
Author: Johann Rist; John Troutbeck; Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Lyrics: 1 Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light,
and usher in the morning;
O shepherds, shrink not with affright,
but hear the angel's warning.
This child, now weak in infancy,
our confidence and joy shall be,
the power of Satan breaking,
our peace eternal making.
2 This night of wonder, night of joy,
was born the Christ, our brother;
he comes, not mighty to destroy,
to bid us love each other.
How could he quit his kingly state
for such a world of greed and hate?
What deep humiliation
secured the world's salvation!
3 Come, dearest child, into our hearts,
and leave your crib behind you!
Let this be where the new life starts
for all who seek and find you.
To you the honor, thanks, and praise,
for all your gifts this time of grace;
come, conquer and deliver
this world, and us, forever. Topics: Christ's Gracious Life Birth and Baptism; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Christ's Gracious Life Birth and Baptism; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ Presence; Light Used With Tune: ERMUNTRE DICH

You are freed; All you need

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis FitzGerald Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:8-15 Lyrics: 1 O sing a song of Bethlehem,
Of shepherds watching there,
And of the news that came to them
From angels in the air:
The light that shone on Bethlehem
Fills all the world today;
Of Jesus’ birth and peace on earth
The angels sing alway.
2 O sing a song of Nazareth,
Of sunny days of joy,
O sing of fragrant flowers’ breath,
And of the sinless Boy;
For now the flowers of Nazareth
In every heart may grow;
Now spreads the fame of His dear Name
On all the winds that blow.
3 O sing a song of Galilee,
Of lake and woods and hill,
Of Him who walked upon the sea
And bade the waves be still:
For though, like waves on Galilee,
Dark seas of trouble roll,
When faith has heard the Master’s word,
Falls peace upon the soul.
4 O sing a song of Calvary,
Its glory and dismay;
Of Him who hung upon the tree,
And took our sins away:
For He who died on Calvary
Is risen from the grave,
And Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored,
Is mighty now to save.

O Holy Night
Author: John S. Dwight, 19th C. Meter: Irregular Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:8-16 First Line: O holy night, the stars are brightly shining Lyrics: 1 O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
it is the night of the dear Savior’s birth;
long lay the world in sin and error pining,
till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices,
for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!
O night divine! O night when Christ was born!
O night divine! O night, O night divine!
2 Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
with glowing hearts by his cradle we stand;
so led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
in all our trials born to be our friend;
he knows our need, he guards us from all danger.
Behold your King; before him lowly bend!
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
3 Truly he taught us to love one another;
his law is love and his gospel is peace.
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,
and in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raising,
let all within us praise his holy name.
Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
