O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #107 (2010) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian Year-Christmastide 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.

their watch of wondering love.

proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to all 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 Emmanuel! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #132 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Christian Year-Christmastide 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 heaven'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 heavenly music floats
o'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains,
they bend on hovering wing,
and ever o'er its Babel sounds
the heavenly angels sing.
3 All 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 give back the song
which now the angels sing. Scripture: Luke 2:13-14 Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

haste, haste to bring Him laud,
the Babe, the Son of Mary!
2 Why lies He in such mean estate,
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear: for sinners here
the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spears, shall pierce Him through,
the cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
the Babe, the Son of Mary!
3 So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
come peasant, king, to own Him;
the King of kings salvation brings,

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #104 (2010) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian Year-Christmastide Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David’s city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for His bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all,
and His shelter was a stable,
and His cradle was a stall.
With the poor and meek and lowly
lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 For He is our childhood's pattern;
day by day on earth He grew;
He was tempted, scorned, rejected,
tears and smiles like us He knew.
Thus He feels for all our sadness,
and He shares in all our gladness.
4 Not in that poor lowly stable,
with the oxen standing by,
we shall see Him, but in heaven
set at God’s right hand on high;
when like stars His children crowned,
robed in white shall gather round.
