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 mean and lowly
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 And through all his wondrous childhood
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms he lay.
Christian children all should be
Kind, obedient, good as he.
4 For he is our childhood's pattern,
Day by day like us he grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us he knew:
And he feels for all our sadness,
And he shares in all our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Thru his own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heav'n above:
And he leads his children on
To the place where he has gone. Scripture: Luke 2:7 Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

The Lord of life has come.

Gaze on the wondrous child
And marvel at his gracious words
Of wisdom undefiled.
3 Yet not to them is giv'n
The mighty truth to know,
To lift the earthly veil which hides
Incarnate God below.
4 The secret of the Lord
Escapes each human eye,
And faithful, pond'ring hearts await
The full epiphany.
5 Lord, enter now our souls
And teach us by your grace
Each dim revealing of yourself
With loving awe to trace,
6 Till we behold your face
And know, as we are known,
You, Holy Spirit, Father, Son,
Co-equal Three in One. Languages: English Tune Title: OPTATUS VOTIS OMNIUM

O see in the soft light the heavenly Child,
In swaddling clothes folded, his beauty more sweet
Than angels, whose voices his lowly birth greet.

His Mother and Joseph in ecstasy pray.
The shepherds in wonder their glad worship bring,
While chorus of angels sweet Glorias sing.

O Come, Little Children
Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: Journeysongs (3rd ed.) #327 (2012) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: The Liturgical Year The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph 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 mean and lowly
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 And through all his wondrous childhood
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms he lay.
Christian children all should be
Kind, obedient, good as he.
4 For he is our childhood's pattern,
Day by day like us he grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us he knew:
And he feels for all our sadness,
And he shares in all our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Through his own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heav'n above:
And he leads his children on
To the place where he has gone.

The silent Word is pleading. [Refrain]
