O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: Voices United #64 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: Advent 4 Year A; Advent 4 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. Languages: English Tune Title: ST LOUIS

To a Maid Whose Name Was Mary

Author: Gracia Grindal Hymnal: Voices United #14 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Advent 4 Year A Lyrics: 1 To a maid whose name was Mary, the angel Gabriel came. “Fear not” the angel told her, “I come to bring good news; good news I come to tell you, good news, I say, good news." 2 “For you are highly favoured by the God the Lord of all, who even now is with you. You are on earth most blest; you are most blest, most blessèd, God chose you, you are blest!” 3 But Mary was most troubled to hear the angel’s word. What was the angel saying? It troubled her to hear, to hear the angel’s message, it troubled her to hear. 4 “Fear not, for God is with you, and you shall bear a child. His name shall be called Jesus, God’s offspring from on high. And he shall reign forever, forever reign on high.” 5 “How shall this be?” said Mary, “that I should be with child.” The angel answered quickly, “The power of the Most High will come upon you shortly, your child shall be God’s child.” 6 As Mary heard the angel, she wondered at his words. “Behold, I am your handmaid,” she said unto her God. “So be it; I am ready according to your word.” Languages: English Tune Title: ANNUNCIATION
