Woman in the Night
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 5.5.5.5 D Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Lyrics: 1 Woman in the night,
spent from giving birth,
guard our precious light;
peace is on the earth.
Woman in the crowd,
creeping up behind,
touching is allowed:
seek and you will find!
Refrain:
Come and join the song,
women, children, men.
Jesus makes us free to live again!
2 Woman at the well,
question the Messiah;
find your friends and tell:
drink your heart's desire!
Woman at the feast,
let the righteous stare;
come and go in peace;
love him with your hair! [Refrain]
3 Woman in the house,
nurtured to be meek,
leave your second place,
listen, think and speak!
Women on the road,
from your sickness freed,
witness and provide,
joining word and deed: [Refrain]
4 Women on the hill,
stand when men have fled;
Christ needs loving still,
though your hope is dead.
Women in the dawn,
care and spices bring,
earliest to mourn,
earliest to sing! [Refrain] Used With Tune: NEW DISCIPLES

Joyful Is the Dark
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 10.10.11.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:1-8 First Line: Joyful is the dark, holy, hidden, God Lyrics: 1 Joyful is the dark, holy, hidden God,
Rolling cloud of night beyond all naming:
Majesty in darkness, Energy of love,
Word-in-Flesh, the mystery proclaiming.
2 Joyful is the dark, Spirit of the deep,
Winging wildly o'er the world's creation,
Silken sheen of midnight plumage black and bright,
Swooping with the beauty of a raven.
3 Joyful is the dark, shadowed stable floor;
Angels flicker, God on earth confessing,
As with exultation, Mary, giving birth,
Hails the infant cry of need and blessing.
4 Joyful is the dark, coolness of the tomb,
Waiting for the wonder of the morning;
Never was that midnight touched by dread and gloom:
Darkness was the cradle of the dawning.
5 Joyful is the dark, depth of love divine,
Roaring, looming thundercloud of glory;
Holy, haunting beauty, living, loving God.
Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story! Used With Tune: JOYFUL DARKNESS
Joyful Is the Dark

Author: Stopford Augustus Brooke (1832-1916); Joseph Mohr (1792-1848) Meter: Irregular Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Lyrics: 1 Still the night, holy the night!
Sleeps the world; hid from sight,
Mary and Joseph in stable bare
watch o'er the child belovèd and fair,
sleeping in heavenly rest,
sleeping in heavenly rest.
2 Still the night, holy the night!
Shepherds first saw the light,
heard resounding clear and long,
far and near, the angel-song,
'Christ the Redeemer is here!'
'Christ the Redeemer is here!'
3 Still the night, holy the night!
Son of God, O how bright
love is smiling from thy face!
Strikes for us now the hour of grace,
Saviour, since thou art born!
Saviour, since thou art born!

Alles schläft; einsam wacht
nur das traute heilige Paar.
Holder Knab im lockigten Harr,
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

Hirten erst kund gemacht!
Durch der Engel Halleluja
tönet es laut von fern und nah:
Christ der Retter ist da!
Christ der Retter ist da!
3 Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht
Lieb' aus deinem göttlichen Mund,
da uns schlägt die rettende Stund,

A Mother Lined a Basket
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2 Lyrics: A mother lined a basket to keep her baby dry,then rocked him on a river,lest he awake and cry.She let a princess name himher son that he might live.God's people had a leader.She had such hope to give.A mother sewed a jacket,lined in the softest wool,then dressed her little boy-child,her cup of blessing full.She brought him to the templewhere he would serve and live.God's people had a prophet.She had such faith to give. A mother laid her baby in manger lined with straw;then, in the shepherds' story,his call from God foresaw.She nurtured him and taught himthe way that he must live. God's people had a savior.She had such love to give.Like Jochebed and Hannah,and Mary too, we knowthe hardest part of lovingis learning to let go,so when we send our childrenout in the world to live,grant us such hope and faith, God,and love enough to give.
