Angels, from the Realms of Glory

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: WASH1957 #31 (2006) Lyrics: 1 Angels, from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o'er all the earth; Ye who sang creation's story, Now proclaim Messiah's birth: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. 2 Shepherds, in the fields abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant light: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. 3 Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen His natal star: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. 4 Saints before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. Amen. Topics: Christ Birth of; Jesus Christ the Savior Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE

The First Noel, the Angel Did Say

Hymnal: WASH1957 #34 (2006) Refrain First Line: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Lyrics: 1 The first Noel, the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Refrain: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. 2 They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. (Refrain) 3 And by the light of that same star Three wise came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. (Refrain) 4 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) 5 Then entered in those wise men three, Full rev'rently upon their knee, And offered there, in His presence Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. (Refrain) 6 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord, That hath made heav'n and earth of naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought. (Refrain) Topics: Christ Birth of; Jesus Christ the Savior Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: THE FIRST NOEL

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: WASH1957 #35 (2006) 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 lonely plains They bend on hovering 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, Comes round the age of gold: When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing. Amen. Topics: Christ Birth of; Jesus Christ the Savior Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Author: Henry W. Longfellowm 1807-1882 Hymnal: WASH1957 #40 (2006) Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace of earth, goodwill to men. 2 I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th'unbroken song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. 3 And in despair I bowed my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men." 4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, goodwill to men." 5 Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, goodwill to men! Amen.
