O little town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #508b (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Years A, B, and C Christmas Day 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 O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to all the earth;
For Christ is born of Mary;
and, gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wond'ring love.
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. Scripture: Job 38:7-11 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS CAROL

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #36 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: Christmas Day 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 darkness 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 given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His 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 to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels

O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Immanuel!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Hymnal: Voices United #46 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Christmas Day 1 Year A Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her child
lowly in a manger;
there he lay, the undefiled,
to the world a stranger.
Such a Babe in such a place,
can he be the Saviour?
Ask the saved of all the race
who have found his favour.
2 Angels sang about his birth,
wise Men sought and found him;
heaven’s star shone brightly forth,
glory all around him.
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight,
heard the angels singing;
all the plains were lit that night,
all the hills were ringing.
3 Gentle Mary laid her child
lowly in a manger;
he is still the undefiled,
but no more a stranger.
Son of God of humble birth,
beautiful the story;
praise his name in all the earth;
hail the King of glory! Languages: English Tune Title: GENTLE MARY

O come, let us adore him
In the bleak mid-winter
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #68 (2013) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christmas Day Lyrics: 1 In the bleak mid-winter
frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron,
water like a stone;
snow had fallen, snow on snow,
snow on snow,
in the bleak mid-winter
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 mid-winter
a stable-place sufficed
the Lord God Almighty,
Jesus Christ.
3 Enough for him whom cherubim
worship night and day,
a breast-ful of milk
and a manger-ful of hay;
enough for him whom angels
fall down before,
the ox and ass and camel
which adore.
4 Angels and archangels
may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim
thronged the air,
but only his mother
in her maiden bliss
worshipped the Belovèd
with a kiss.
5 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. Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Languages: English Tune Title: CRANHAM

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Author: Nahum Tate (1652-1715) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #89a (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christmas Day Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
all seated on the ground,
the angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around.
2 'Fear not,' said he (for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind);
'glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and all mankind.
3 'To you in David's town this day
is born of David's line
a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:
4 'the heavenly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
and in a manger laid.'
5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:
6 'All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
good will henceforth from heaven to men
begin and never cease.' Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER OLD
