O Little Town Of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #605 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas First Line: O little town of Bethlehem! 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 wond'ring love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God our King,
And peace to men on earth!
3 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.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS
O Little Town Of Bethlehem
Splendid Are The Heavens High
Author: J. C. Aaberg; N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #606 (1930) Meter: 7.7.8.8.7 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Lyrics: 1 Splendid are the heavens high,
Beautiful the radiant sky,
Where the golden stars are shining
And their rays, to earth inclining,
Beckon us to heav'n above,
Beckon us to heav'n above.
2 It was on the holy night,
Darkness veiled the stars so bright;
But at once the heavens hoary
Flooded were with light and glory,
Coming from a wondrous star,
Coming from a wondrous star.
3 When this star so fair and clear
Filled with light the midnight drear,
Then, according to tradition,
Should a King with heav'nly mission
Unto earth from heav'n descend,
Unto earth from heav'n descend.
4 Sages from the East afar,
When they saw this wondrous star,
Went to find this King of nations
And to offer their oblations
Unto Him as Lord and King,
Unto Him as Lord and King.
5 Him they found in Bethlehem,
Yet He wore no diadem;
They but saw a maiden lowly
With an infant pure and holy,
Resting in her loving arms,
Resting in her loving arms.
6 Guided by the star, they found
Him whose praise the ages sound,
We, too, have a star to guide us,
Which forever will provide us
With the light to find our Lord.
7 And this star, as bright as day,
Which will ever lead astray
With its message so appealing,
Is the Word of God, revealing
Christ to us, our Lord and King.

Once In Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances (Humphreys) Alexander Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #608 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas 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 poorest of the earth
Was our holy Savior's birth.
3 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,
All in white shall wait around. Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

When Christmas Morn Is Dawning
Author: C. W. Foss Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #610 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Lyrics: 1 When Christmas morn is dawning
In faith I would repair
Unto the lowly manger;
My Savior lieth there;
Unto the lowly manger;
My Savior lieth there.
2 How kind, O loving Savior,
To come from heav'n above!
From sin and evil save us,
And keep us in Thy love;
From sin and evil save us,
And keep us in Thy love.
3 We need thee, blessed Jesus,
Our dearest friend Thou art;
Forbid that we by sinning
Should grieve Thy loving heart;
Forbid that we by sinning
Should grieve Thy loving heart.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS DAWN

O Have You Heard The Wondrous Story
Author: F. W. Herzberger Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #611 (1930) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8.9.8.9.10.10 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Lyrics: 1 O have you heard the wondrous story,
And have you learned the news so blest?
The King of kings and Lord of glory
From heav'n descends to be our guest!
Behold in Bethlehem a mother
Beside her newborn Babe recline,
A little child like any other,
So human and yet all divine.
2 God's very Son comes down from heav'n
In man's poor flesh and blood to dwell,
A Savior by the Father given,
Glad cherubim the tidings tell.
O if this Child by angels cherished,
Had not appeared our race to save,
Mankind in sin and death had perished
As Satan's helpless, trembling slave.
3 Then, dearest Child, let me enfold Thee
And fondly draw Thee to my breast.
My heart's Delight, firm will I hold Thee,
In Thy great love forever blest.
Before Thy manger kneeling ever,
Thy poverty my wealth shall be,
Nor life nor death my love shall sever
From Thee until Thy face I see.
[Solo]
Christ-child, Christ-child,
Thy great love I prize,
Bring me, O bring me to sweet Paradise!
[All]
Bring me, O bring me to sweet Paradise! Languages: English Tune Title: WONDROUS STORY

Sing Forth With Gladsome Voice
Author: Paul E. Kretzmann Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #613 (1930) Meter: 6.6.7.6.7.6.5 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Lyrics: 1 Sing forth with gladsome voice,
With grateful hearts rejoice:
All the world's salvation
Sleeps in a manger-bed,
The hope of ev'ry nation
Laid there His royal head:
Great eternal God!
Great eternal God!
2 O Son of God on high,
For Thee my heart doth sigh;
Fill with consolation
The soul that needs Thy love;
And teach me Thy salvation:
With mercy from above
Draw my heart to Thee!
Draw my heart to Thee!
3 Tho' we were lost in guilt,
His word He has fulfilled;
Destined for perdition
We lay beneath His wrath;
But His great love's compassion
Has opened heaven's path:
There we are at home.
There we are at home.
4 Where is the home of bliss?
It can be only this:
Where the saints are singing
In hymns of loud acclaim,
And their hosannas bringing
All glory to His name:
There we are at home!
There we are at home! Languages: English Tune Title: KLUG

To Us From Heaven's Lofty Height
Author: H. Brueckner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #614 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.7.8 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Lyrics: 1 To us from heaven's lofty height
Fair angels now descend;
Behold, how to the gloomy night
They radiant brightness lend!
A thousand harps are ringing,
And all unite in singing:
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
2 What prompts you thus to leave your home,
Where all is joy and glee?
Why should you wish on earth to roam,
What have you come to see?
Ye heralds consecrated,
Why sing ye so elated:
Hallelujah, hallelujah?
3 'Tis on the Child of Bethlehem
These angel hosts would gaze:
He is the world's most precious Gem,
And heaven sings His praise.
To work out our salvation
He left God's habitation.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
4 O Child so wonderful and great,
Thou camest from above;
Thy lips the Father's will relate,
Thou art His pledge of love.
By Thee the peace of heaven
To us on earth is given.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
5 We join the angels in their glee,
Dear Christ, this Christmas day.
O come our welcome Guest to be,
Yes, come with us to stay.
Be pleased to hear our voices
While ev'ry heart rejoices:
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MAYER

O Come, Little Children
Author: H. Brueckner; C. v. Schmidt Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #615 (1930) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas First Line: O come, little children, O come, one and all Lyrics: 1 O come, little children, O come, one and all,
O come to the manger in Bethlehem’s stall
And see what the Father in heaven so true
Has done to prepare a bright Christmas for you.
2 Behold, in the manger, that strange little bed,
A Child, sweet and gentle, is resting His head,
A Babe, clad in garments so pure and so white,
And fairer by far than the angels of light.
3 On hay and on straw in the manger He lies;
Both Mary and Joseph, with fond, loving eyes,
Are gazing upon Him, and shepherds draw near,
And jubilant angels from heaven appear.
4 O kneel with the shepherds in worshipful prayer
And join the dear angels who also are there;
Sing glory to God in the heavens above
And thank Him for Jesus, the gift of His love.
5 O dearest, O sweetest, O wonderful Child,
So pure and so holy, so good and so mild;
For us poor and weak in the manger hast lain,
For us like an innocent lamb Thou wast slain.
6 Receive then our hearts, which we offer to Thee,
And keep them from sin and from wickedness free;
O render them holy and blessed like Thine,
Thou Son of the Highest, Thou Infant divine. Languages: English Tune Title: TEKNA
