Behold, the great creator makes
Author: Thomas Pestel (1585-1659) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:11 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the great Creator makes
himself a house of clay,
in human flesh, our form he takes
which he will bear alway.
2 Hark, how the wise eternal Word
as a weak infant cries!
In form of servant is the Lord,
and God in cradle lies.
3 This wonder all the world amazed,
it shook the starry frame;
the hosts of heaven stood to gaze,
and bless the Saviour's name.
4 Glad shepherds ran to view this sight;
a choir of angels sings,
and eastern sages with delight
adore this King of kings.
5 Join then, all hearts that are not stone,
to sing with choirs above
and celebrate this Holy One,
the God of peace and love. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Christian Year Season of Epiphany Used With Tune: DUNLAP'S CREEK

Ho eta urbo Betlehem'
Author: Phillips Brooks; W. Harvey Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:6 Lyrics: 1. Ho eta urbo Betlehem'! Vi kuŝas en trankvil'
En paco de sensonĝa dorm' sub milda stela bril'.

Kun miro ame gardas lin, dum dormas la homar'.

Se oni nur akceptos lin, li venos je respond'.

Naskiĝu vi jam nun en ni kaj pekon pelu for.

When, marshaled on the nightly plain
Author: Kirke White Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 481 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:9 Lyrics: 1 When, marshaled on the nightly plain,
The glittering hosts bestud the sky,
One star alone, of all the train,
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye.
2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks,
From every host, from every gem;
But one alone the Saviour speaks,--
It is the Star of Bethlehem.
3 Once on the raging seas I rode,
The storm was loud, the night was dark--
The ocean yawned--and rudely blowed
The wind, that tossed my foundering bark.
4 Deep horror then my vitals froze,
Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem;--
When suddenly a star arose,--
It was the Star of Bethlehem.
5 It was my guide, my light, my all;
It bad my dark forebodings cease;
And, through the storm, and danger's thrall,
It led me to the port of peace.
6 Now safely moored, my perils o'er,
I'll sing, first in night's diadem,
Forever and for evermore,
The Star--the Star of Bethlehem!

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:8-12 Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger;
There He lay, the undefiled,
To the world a stranger.
Such a Babe in such a place,
Can He be the Savior?
Ask the saved of all the race
Who have found His favor.
2 Angels sang about His birth;
Wise men sought and found Him;
Heaven’s star shone brightly forth,
Glory all around Him.
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight,
Heard the angels singing;
All the plains were lit that night,
All the hills were ringing.
3 Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger;
He is still the undefiled,
But no more a stranger.
Son of God, of humble birth,
Beautiful the story;
Praise His Name in all the earth,
Hail the King of glory!

Where is this stupendous stranger
Author: Christopher Smart (1722-1771) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 First Line: Where is this stupendous stranger? Lyrics: 1 Where is this stupendous stranger?
Gentle shepherd now, advise.
Lead me to my Master's manger,
show me where my Savior lies.
O Most Mighty! O Most Holy!
Far beyond the seraph's thought,
art thou then so weak and lowly
as unheeded prophets taught?
2 O the magnitude of meekness!
Worth from worth immortal sprung;
O the strength of infant weakness,
if eternal is so young!
God all bounteous, all creative,
whom no ills from good dissuade,
is incarnate, and a native
of the very world he made. Topics: Hymns and Spiritual Songs Advent and Christmas Used With Tune: MARIPOSA
