Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
It fills the heart with ecstasy,
that God, in Jesus Christ, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 God sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place,
but wore the robe of human frame,
and freely to this lost world came.
3 For us he was baptized, and bore
a holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharply knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us great daily works were wrought,
by words, and signs, and actions, thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
5 For us to wicked foes betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
6 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
7 To God whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through the Son,
to God all praise and glory be
both now and through eternity. Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR Text Sources: Latin, 15th century

the power of Satan breaking,
our peace eternal making."

and leave your crib behind you!
Let this be where the new life starts
for all who seek and find you.

for all your gifts this time of grace;

and us, forever. Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Used With Tune: ERMUNTRE DICH

Who hath truly kept His word
And the sinners' Help and Friend
Now at last to us doth send.
2 What the fathers most desired,
What the prophets' heart inspired,
What they longed for many a year,
Stands fulfilled in glory here.
3 Abram's promised great Reward,
Zion's Helper, Jacob's Lord--
Him of twofold race behold--
Truly came, as long foretold.
4 Welcome, 0 my Savior, now!
Hail! My Portion, Lord, art Thou.
Here, too, in my heart, I pray,
Oh, prepare Thyself a way!
5 King of Glory, enter in;
Cleanse it from the filth of sin,
As Thou hast so often done;
It belongs to Thee alone.
6 As Thy coming was in peace,
Quiet, full of gentleness,
Let the same mind dwell in me
That was ever found in Thee.
7 Comfort, comfort Thou my heart,
Thou my Strength and Refuge art.
I am weak, and cunningly
Satan lays his snares for me.
8 Bruise for me the Serpent's head,
That, set free from doubt and dread,
I may cleave to Thee in faith,
Safely kept through life and death,
9 And when Thou dost come again
As a glorious King to reign,
I with joy may see Thy face,
Freely ransomed by Thy grace.

Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
noels ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the babe is Lord for all,
Christ the babe is Lord for 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 was born for you,
Christ the babe was born for you. Used With Tune: W ŻŁOBIE LEŻY Text Sources: Polish carol

Lord, who left the highest heaven
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Christmas 2 The Holy Family Lyrics: 1 Lord, who left the highest heaven
for a homeless human birth
and, a child within a stable,
came to share the life of earth —
with your grace and mercy bless
all who suffer homelessness.
2 Lord, who sought by cloak of darkness
refuge under foreign skies
from the swords of Herod's soldiers,
ravaged homes and parents' cries —
may your grace and mercy rest
on the homeless and oppressed.
3 Lord, who lived secure and settled,
safe within the Father's plan,
and in wisdom, stature, favour
growing up from boy to man —
with your grace and mercy bless
all who strive for holiness.
4 Lord, who leaving home and kindred,
followed still as duty led,
sky the roof and earth the pillow
for the Prince of glory's head —
with your grace and mercy bless
sacrifice for righteousness.
5 Lord, who in your cross and passion
hung beneath a darkened sky,
yet whose thoughts were for your mother,
and a thief condemned to die —
may your grace and mercy rest
on the helpless and distressed.
6 Lord, who rose to life triumphant
with our whole salvation won,
risen, glorified, ascended,
all the Father's purpose done —
may your grace, all conflict past,
bring your children home at last. Used With Tune: OTTAWA

they reign with him above,
