Strong Son of God, immortal Love

Author: Alfred Tennyson Hymnal: The Hymnal #175 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Living Presence Lyrics: 1 Strong Son of God, immortal Love, Whom we, that have not seen Thy face, By faith, and faith alone, embrace, Believing where we cannot prove; 2 Thou seemest human and divine, The highest, holiest manhood, Thou: Our wills are ours, we know not how; Our wills are ours, to make them Thine. 3 Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be; They are but broken lights of Thee, And Thou, O Lord, art more than they. 4 Let knowledge grow from more to more, But more of reverence in us dwell; That mind and soul, according well, May make one music as before. Amen. Tune Title: ST CRISPIN

Let all mortal flesh keep silence

Author: Rev. Gerard Moultrie (1829-1885) Hymnal: The Hymnal #112 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Advent Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence, And with fear and trembling stand; Ponder nothing earthly minded, For with blessing in His hand, Christ our God to earth descendeth, Our full homage to demand. 2 King of Kings, yet born of Mary, As of old on earth He stood, Lord of Lords, in human vesture— In the body and the blood— He will give to all the faithful His own self for heavenly food. 3 Rank on rank the host of heaven Spreads its vanguard on the way, As the Light of Light descendeth From the realms of endless day, That the powers of hell may vanish As the darkness clears away. 4 At His feet the six-winged seraph; Cherubim, with sleepless eye, Veil their faces to the presence, As with ceaseless voice they cry, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord Most High! Amen. Tune Title: PICARDY

Findlater; Laurentius Laurenti Hymnal: The Hymnal #115 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Advent Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers, And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, And darker night is near: The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh; Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle: At midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lamps are burning; Replenish them with oil; And wait for your salvation, The end of earthly toil. The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near, Go meet Him as He cometh, With alleluias clear. 3 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear! Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption That brings us unto Thee. Amen.

O little town of Bethlehem

Author: Bishop Phillips Brooks Hymnal: The Hymnal #121 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Birth 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 Emmanuel. Amen. Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell

Hymnal: The Hymnal #129 (1950) Meter: Irregular with refrain Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Birth First Line: The first Nowell, the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay, In fields where they lay a-keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Refrain: Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel! 2 They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain] 3 And by the light of that same star, Three Wise Men came from country afar; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain] 4 This star drew nigh to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain] 5 Then entered in those Wise Men three Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there in His presence Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain] 6 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord; That both made heaven and earth of naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought. [Refrain] Amen. Tune Title: THE FIRST NOWELL
