Our Lady Came to Bethlehem
As I sat on a sunny bank
Hymnal: H4BG1935 #32 (1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 As I sat on a sunny bank,
On Christmas Day in the morning,
I spied three ships come sailing by,
On Christmas Day in the morning.
2 And who should be with those three ships
But Joseph and his fair lady!
O he did whistle, and she did sing,
On Christmas Day in the morning.
3 And all the bells on earth did ring,
On Christmas Day in the morning,
For joy that our Saviour he was born
On Christmas Day in the morning. Topics: Christmas Tune Title: CHRISTMAS

I Saw Three Ships
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: H4BG1935 #34 (1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold;
Peace on the earth, good-will to men,
From heav'n's all-gracious King;
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heav'nly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on heavenly wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way,
With painful steps and slow, -
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
4 For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years,
Come round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.
Amen.

Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: H4BG1935 #35 (1936) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring a torch, to the cradle run!
It is Jesus, good folk of the village;
Christ is born and Mary's calling:
Ah! ah! beautiful is the mother!
Ah! ah! beautiful is her Son!
2 It is wrong when the Child is sleeping,
It is wrong to talk so loud;
Silence, all as you gather around,
Lest your noise should waken Jesus;
Hush! hush! see how fast he slumbers;
Hush! hush! see how fast he sleeps!
3 Softly to the little stable,
Softly for a moment come;
Look and see how charming is Jesus;
How he is white, his cheeks are rosy!
Hush! hush! see how the Child is sleeping;
Hush! hush! see how he smiles in dream. Topics: Christmas Tune Title: UN FLAMBEAU

The First Nowell
Hymnal: H4BG1935 #36 (1936) First Line: The first Nowel the angel did say Refrain First Line: Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Refrain:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
2 Three wise men guided by a star
Came from the eastern country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went: [Refrain]
3 This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
Amen. Topics: Christmas Tune Title: [The First Nowell the angel did say]

We Three Kings of Orient Are
Author: John Henry Hopkins Hymnal: H4BG1935 #38 (1936) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 We three kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain,
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
Refrain:
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright;
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.
2 Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown him again,
King for ever,
Ceasing never
Over us all to reign. [Refrain]
3 Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh,
Prayer and praising,
All men raising,
Worship Him, God on high. [Refrain]
4 Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing,
Bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. [Refrain]
5 Glorious now behold Him arise,
King, and God and Sacrifice;
Heav'n sings
Alleluia;
Alleluia the earth replies. [Refrain]
Amen.

Join the triumph of the skies;
With th'angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."

Hail the Son of Righteousness!

Risen with healing in His wings,
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth. [Refrain]

Wise Men Seeking Jesus
Author: James East Hymnal: H4BG1935 #40 (1936) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D First Line: Wise men seeking Jesus Lyrics: 1 Wise men seeking Jesus,
Traveled from afar,
Guided on their journey
By a beauteous star.
But if we desire him,
He is close at hand;
For our native country
Is our Holy Land.
2 Prayerful souls may find him
By our quiet lakes,
Meet him on our hillsides
When the morning breaks.
In our fertile cornfields
While the sheaves are bound,
In our busy markets
Jesus may be found.
3 Every peaceful village
In our land might be,
Made by Jesus' presence
Like sweet Bethany.
He is more than near us,
If we love him well;
For he seeketh ever
In our hearts to dwell. Topics: Christmas Tune Title: GUIDING STAR
