To you, in David’s town, this day is born, of David’s line, The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord; and this shall be the sign: The heav’nly Babe you there shall find to human view displayed, All meanly wrapt in swaddling-bands, and in a manger laid. 138 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God; and thus addressed their joyful song: All glory be to God on high, and to the earth be peace; Good-will is shown by Heav’n to men, and never more shall cease.

Author: Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 542 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:13-14 Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When he spake, and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when he Captive led captivity. 3 Heaven and earth must pass away-- Songs of praise shall crown that day; God will make new heavens and earth-- Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 And shall man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No; the Church delights to raise Psalms and hymns and songs of praise. 5 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 6 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amid eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ.

Once in royal David's city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 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 Saviour holy. 3 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that Child so dear and helpless is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 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, where his children gather round, bright like stars, with glory crowned.
