Infant holy
Author: Edith Gellibrand Reed, 1885-1933 Hymnal: Together in Song #292 (1999) Topics: Christmas Eve Lyrics: 1 Infant holy,
infant lowly,
for his bed a cattle stall;
oxen lowing,
little knowing
Christ the babe is Lord of all;
swift are winging
angels singing,
nowells ringing,
tidings bringing,
Christ the babe is Lord of all,
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
2 Flocks were sleeping,
shepherds keeping
vigil till the morning new
saw the glory,
heard the story,
tidings of a gospel true;
thus rejoicing,
free from sorrow,
praises voicing
greet the morrow,
Christ the babe was born for you,
Christ the babe was born for you. Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Tune Title: INFANT HOLY

Behold, a rose is growing
Author: Harriet Reynolds Spaeth, 1847-1925; John Caspar Mattes Hymnal: Together in Song #294 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Topics: Christmas Eve Lyrics: 1 Behold, a rose is growing,
of loveliest form and grace,
as prophets sang, foreknowing;
it springs from Jesse's race,
and comes a perfect flower,
in midst of coldest winter,
at deepest midnight hour.
2 Isaiah hath foretold it
in words of promise sure,
and Mary's arms enfold it -
a gentle maiden pure.
Through God's eternal will
this child to her is given
at midnight calm and still.
3 This rose, whose fragrance tender
with sweetness fills the air,
dispels with glorious splendour
the darkness everywhere.
As human, yet true God,
from sin and death he saves us
and lightens every load.
4 0 Saviour, child of Mary,
you felt our human woe;
O Saviour, King of glory.
you all our weakness know.
Lead us at last, we pray.
to the full joys of heaven
and into endless day. Scripture: Colossians 1:19-20 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST EIN ROS

Brightest and best of the stars of the morning
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Together in Song #310a (1999) Topics: Christmas Eve Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid:
star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining,
low lies his head with the beasts of the stall;
angels adore him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all.
3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion,
odours of Edom and offerings divine?
gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
myrrh from the forest or gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
vainly with gifts would his favour secure:
richer by far is the heart's adoration,
dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
5 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid:
star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Never in all human story
Author: Joseph Pittman, 1842-1930 Hymnal: Together in Song #320 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Christmas Eve Lyrics: 1 Never in all human story
was a sight so wondrous seen,
Jesus Christ, the King of Glory,
cradled in a manger mean,
angel heralds in the sky,
lowly shepherds kneeling by.
2 Then the lamp of life was lighted,
brighter than the rising sun;
then were heaven and earth united,
peace of God on earth begun,
peace the troubled world to fill,
peace to those of holy will.
3 Prince of Peace! Your way before you
lies through nameless grief and pain:
death's dark shadow ever o'er you,
but it leads to highest reign:
glory that could never be,
but by way of Calvary. Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

Deck Yourself, My Soul, with Gladness
Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Voices United #463 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Christmas Eve Year A Lyrics: 1 Deck yourself, my soul, with gladness,
leave the gloomy haunts of sadness,
come into the daylight’s splendour,
there with joy your praises render
unto Christ, whose grace unbounded
has this wondrous banquet founded;
high o’er all the heavens reigning,
yet to dwell with you is deigning.
2 Now I come before you lowly,
filled with joy most deep and holy,
as with trembling awe and wonder
on your mighty works I ponder;
how, by mystery surrounded,
depth no one has ever sounded,
none may dare to pierce unbidden
secrets that with you are hidden.
3 Sun, which all my living brightens;
Light, which heart and soul enlightens;
Joy, most sweet and spirit freeing;
Fount, the source of all my being;
at your feet I cry, my Maker,
let me be a fit partaker
of this blessed food from heaven,
for our good your glory given.
4 Jesus, bread of life, I pray you
let me gladly here obey you;
never to my hurt invited,
be your love with love requited;
from this banquet let me measure,
God, how vast and deep its treasure;
through the gifts you here now give me,
as your guest in heaven receive me. Languages: English Tune Title: SCHMÜCKE DICH
Deck Yourself, My Soul, with Gladness
