It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: Voices United #44 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Christian Year Christmas; Angels; Christian Year Christmas; Comfort/Consolation; Courage; Hope; Jesus Christ Birth and Infancy; Justice; Kingdom of God; Music and Singing; Peace (World); Prophets; Rest; Sin; Christmas Eve Year A; Christmas Eve Year B; Advent 3 Year C; Christmas Eve Year C; Christmas Day 1 Year C 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 all,
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 blessed angels sing.
3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long;
beneath the angel strain have rolled
two thousand years of wrong;
and warring humankind hears not
the love song which they bring.
O hush the noise and cease your strife,
and hear the angels sing.
4 For, lo! the days are hastening on,
by prophets seen of old,
when with the ever-circling years
shall come the time foretold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendours fling,
and the whole world send back the song
which now the angels sing. Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: Voices United #64 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Year Christmas; Angels; Biblical Characters Mary, Mother of Jesus; Biblical Places Bethlehem; Christian Year Christmas; City/City of God; Good News, Gospel; Jesus Christ Birth and Infancy; Jesus Christ Incarnation; Jesus Christ Life In; Jesus Christ Presence; Light; Peace (Inner, Calmness, Serenity; Regeneration; Service Music Prayer Responses; Advent 4 Year A; Christmas Eve Year A; Christmas Eve Year B; Christmas Day 1 Year B; Advent 4 Year C; Christmas Day 1 Year C 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 all on earth.
3 How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessed gift of 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.

you were fasting in the wild;
forty days and forty nights
tempted, and yet undefiled.

chilly dewdrops nightly shed;
prowling beasts about our way;
stones your pillow, earth your bed.
3 Shall not we your trial share,
and from earthly joys abstain,
fasting with unceasing prayer,
strong with you to suffer pain?
4 If temptations, vexing sore,
flesh or spirit should assail,
you their vanquisher before,
grant we may not faint nor fail.
5 Keep, oh keep us, Saviour dear,
ever constant by your side;
that with you we may appear
at the eternal Eastertide. Languages: English Tune Title: HEINLEIN

you that feel the tempter's power;
your Redeemer's conflict see,
watch with him one bitter hour;
turn not from his griefs away:
learn from him to watch and pray.
2 See him at the judgment hall,
beaten, bound, reviled, arraigned;
see him meekly bearing all;
love to all his soul sustained.
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
learn from Christ to bear the cross.
3 Calvary's mournful mountain view;
there the Lord of glory see,
made a sacrifice for you,
dying on the accursed tree.
"It is finished," hear him cry:
trust in Christ and learn to die. Languages: English Tune Title: REDHEAD No. 76

In the Bleak Midwinter

earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter, long ago.
2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign:
in the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
the Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.
3 Enough for him, whom cherubim worship night and day,
a breast full of milk, and a manger full of hay.
Enough for him, whom angels fall down before,
the ox and ass and camel which adore.
4 What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
if I were a wise man, I would do my part;
yet what I can I give him -- give my heart.
