O Hear, My People
Author: Rabbi Nachman of Bratzlav, 1770-1831 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #219 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Days of Awe First Line: O hear, my people, hear me well Lyrics: 1 O hear, my people, hear me well:
"I have no need for sacrifice;
but mercy, loving kindness shall
alone for life and good suffice."
2 Then source of peace, lead us to peace,
a place profound, and wholly true.
And lead us to a mastery

3 May deeds we do inscribe our names
as blessings in the Book of Life.
O source of peace, lead us to heal.
O source of peace, lead us from strife.

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Carl G. Seaburg, 1932-; Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #228 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings 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;
so may we when lie turns hard
find in love our stay and guard.
2 Shepherds came to see this wonder,
and to kneel in holy awe
at that lowly stable manger
where the infant lay on straw;
so may we this happy morn
honor every child that's born.
3 From afar three magi journeyed
to that stable rude and bare,
to pay homage to the infant,
offering gifts both rich and rare;
so may we our gifts bestow,
whether we be high or low.
4 In that happy Christmas spirit,
hear the angels from on high
sing their ancient salutations:
joy's a gift you cannot buy.
So may we, with heart that sings,
share the truth this season brings. Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

three magi came from country far;
to seek for a king was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
