Marvel now, O heaven and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth. 2 Not by human flesh and blood, By the Spirit of our God Was the Word of God made flesh-- Woman's Offspring, pure and fresh. 3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child Of the Virgin undefiled! Mighty God and man in one, Eager now his race to run! 4 God the Father is his source, Back to God he runs his course, Down to death and hell descends, God's high throne he reascends. 5 Thou, the ageless Father's Peer, Gird thy might in mortal gear; Take on flesh to rout the wrong, Make our flesh in frailty strong. 6 Now thy manger's halo bright Hallows night with newborn light; Let no night this light subdue, Let our faith shine ever new. 7 Praise to God the Father sing, Praise to God the Son, our King, Praise to God the Spirit be Ever and eternally. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Adventtide; Advent I Tune Title: NUN KOMM, DER HEIDEN HEILAND

Where rest but on your faithful Word? None ever called on you in vain. Give peace, O God, give peace again. 4 Where saints and angels dwell above, All hearts are knit in holy love; O bind us in that heavenly chain. Give peace, O God, give peace again. Amen.

The bread and wine remove, but thou art here-- Nearer than ever--still my Shield and Sun. 4 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by; Yet, passing, points to the glad feast above, Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, The Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love.

The Master praises--what are men? 3 Go labor on, while it is day, The world's dark night is hastening on; Speed, speed your work, cast sloth away; It is not thus that souls are won. 4 Men die in darkness at your side, Without a hope to cheer the tomb; Take up the torch and wave it wide, The torch that lights time's thickest gloom. 5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch, and pray; Be wise the erring soul to win; Go forth into the world's highway, Compel the wanderer to come in. 6 Toil on, and in your toil rejoice; For toil comes rest, for exile home; Soon shall you hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight cry, "Behold, I come!"

When evening shadows fall, This rings my curfew call: May Jesus Christ be praised. When mirth for music longs, This is my song of songs: May Jesus Christ be praised. God's holy house of prayer Has none that can compare With "Jesus Christ be praised." 2 To him, my highest and best, Sing I, when love-possessed: May Jesus Christ be praisèd. Whate'er my hands begin, This blessing shall break in: May Jesus Christ be praisèd. No lovelier antiphon In all high heaven is known Than "Jesus Christ be praisèd." There to the eternal Word The eternal psalm is heard: "O Jesus Christ be praisèd." 3 You nations of mankind, In this your concord find: May Jesus Christ be praisèd. Let all the earth around Ring joyous with the sound: May Jesus Christ be praisèd. Sing, suns and stars of space, Sing, ye who see his face, Sing, "Jesus Christ be praisèd." God’s whole creation o'er, For aye and evermore, Shall Jesus Christ be praisèd. Topics: Times and Seasons Morning Tune Title: O SEIGNEUR

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #715 (1969) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Person Name: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God, the King, And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous Gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel! Topics: The Christian Year Christmastide Tune Title: FOREST GREEN
