O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: Mor1995 #282 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 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 wond'ring 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 giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heav'n. 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.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: Mor1995 #286 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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 heav'n'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 heav'nly music floats o'er all the weary world; above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hov'ring wing, and ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. 3 O 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 hast'ning on, by prophet bards foretold, when with the ever-circling years comes round the age of gold, when the new heav'n and earth shall own the Prince of Peace their King and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.
