Joy to the World! The Lord Is Come
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,857 hymnals Topics: Christian Year-Christmastide Lyrics: 1 Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
let earth receive her King:
let every heart prepare Him room,
and heaven and nature sing,

and heaven, and heaven and nature sing.

let men their songs employ;
while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
far as the curse is found,
far as the curse is found,
far as, far as the curse is found.

and makes the nations prove
the glories of His righteousness,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders, wonders of His love. Scripture: Psalm 98:4-9 Used With Tune: ANTIOCH

Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
Author: Edith M. G. Reed Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Christian Year-Christmastide Lyrics: 1 Infant holy, infant lowly,
for His bed a cattle stall;
oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging, angels singing,
noels ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the Babe is Lord of all,
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.
2 Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
vigil till the morning new
saw the glory, heard the story,
tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
praises voicing greet the morrow:
Christ the Babe is Lord of all,
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.

falls peace upon the soul.

It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 870 hymnals 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 Used With Tune: CAROL

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: Irregular Appears in 407 hymnals 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.
Scripture: Luke 2:7 Used With Tune: IRBY

all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,

had seized their troubled mind.
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring

to you and humankind.

is born of David's line
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord,

to human view displayed,
all meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
and in a manger laid,
and in a manger laid."
5 Thus spoke the seraph and forthwith
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God on high,
who thus addressed their song,
who thus addressed their song:

and to the earth be peace;
good will henceforth from heaven to earth
begin and never cease,
begin and never cease!" Scripture: Luke 2:8-16 Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS
