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
In the bleak mid-winter
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

Hvordan takke vi vor Herre
Author: Brorson Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #151 (1919) Topics: Second Christmas Day Lyrics: 1 Hvordan takke vi vor Herre,
For han gav sin Søn herned?
Mange skjønne lidt, desværre,
Paa saa stor en Kjærlighed;
Deres onde Syndelyst
Dække de med Naadens Trøst,
Vil af Jesus intet lære,
Og dog sande Kristne være.
2 Vistnok ingen Sjæl fordømmes,
Naar man paa sin Jesus tror,
Naadens Kilde aldrig tømmes,
Naaden er og bliver stor;
Men det er en afsagt Dom,
Siden Jesus til os kom,
Skal man sig fra SYnden vende,
Eller ogsaa evig brænde.
3 At du vil i dine Lyster
Fare fort, som du er van,
Og dig dog ved Jesus trøster,
Gaar i Evighed ei an.
Kjære Hjerte, Et af To:
Enten udi Bøn og Tro
Syndens Vei at fly og hade,
Eller lide Sjæleskade.
4 Lyset er i Verden kommet;
Veed du ogsaa om du tror?
Har du nogen Tid fornummet,
At din Jesus i dig bor?
Har hans Naade-Straalers Kraft
I din Sjæl sin Virkning havt?
Kan du i dit Hjerte finde,
At der er et Lys derinde?
5 Hvordan gaar man dog og drømmer
Udi saadan vigtig Sag,
Og i Sikkerhed forsømmer
Naadens dyrbare Dag!
Sagen burde vides vist,
Mens der end er Bedrings Frist.
Evig, Evighedens Tanke
Bør jo vore Sanser sanke.
6 Bort, du Syndens fæle Taage,
Satans helvedsorte Magt!
Det er Tid engang at vaage
Og at passe paa sin Vagt;
Det er Tid at sanse Vel
Og at sørge for sin Sjæl;
Det er Tid at forekomme
Herrens grumme Vredes Domme.
7 Gud, som Lyset lod opklare
Udi Naadens blide Aar,
Vil og ingenlunde spare
Den, som dette Lys forsmaar.
Vil du vende Ryggen til,
Gud dig fra sig støde vil;
Den, som ei vil Lyset kjende,
Han skal sig paa Lyset brænde.
8 Lad din Naades glans oprinde,
Søde Jesus, at jeg maa
Derved altid Veien finde,
Som jeg bør at vandre paa!
Vær min Formand, at jeg ei
Kommer paa den brede Vei,
Eller fra dit Fodspor viger,
Til jeg ind i Himlen stiger.

The first Nowell
Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #641 (2000) Meter: Irregular Topics: Years A, B, and C Christmas Day First Line: The first Nowell the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say
was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
in fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
on a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Refrain:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
born is the King of Israel!
2 They lookèd up and saw a star,
shining in the east, beyond them far,
and to the earth it gave great light,
and so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]
3 And by the light of that same star,
three wise men came from country far;
to seek for a king was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
4 This star drew nigh to the north-west,
o'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
and there it did both stop and stay,
right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
5 Then entered in those Wise Men three,
full rev'rently upon their knee,
and offered there in his presence,
their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [Refrain]
6 Then let us all with one accord
sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
who with the Father we adore
and Spirit blest for evermore. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 2:8-20 Languages: English Tune Title: THE FIRST NOWELL

Calm on the Listening Ear of Night
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #38 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Christmas Day First Line: Calm on the list'ning ear of night Lyrics: 1 Calm on the list'ning ear of night
Come heav'n's melodious strains,
Where wild Judea stretches forth
Her silver-mantled plains;
Celestial choirs from courts above
Shed sacred glories there;
And angels, with their sparkling lyres,
Make music on the air.
2 The answ'ring hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply,
And greet from all their holy heights
The Day-spring from on high:
O'er the blue depths of Galilee
There comes a holier calm;
And Sharon waves in solemn praise
Her silent groves of palm.
3 "Glory to God!" the lofty strain
The realm of ether fills;
How sweeps the song of solemn joy
O'er Judah's sacred hills!
"Glory to God!" the sounding skies
Loud with their anthems ring:
"Peace on the earth; good will to men,"
From heaven's eternal King.
4 This day shall Christian tongues be mute,
And Christian hearts be cold?
O catch the anthem that from heaven
O'er Judah's mountains rolled,
When burst upon that listening night
The high and solemn lay,
"Glory to God; on earth be peace":
Salvation comes to-day.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM (NEW)

came to light holy love;
Jesus Christ from above
bringing great salvation
meant for every nation.
[Refrain:]
Let us sing, sing, sing,
dance and spring, spring, spring.
Christ is here, ever near!
Gloria in excelsis.
2 This is love come to light,
now is fear put to flight.
God defeats darkest night,
giving for our sorrows
hope of new tomorrows. [Refrain]
3 Christ the Lord comes to feed
hungry souls in their need;
in the house there is bread:
Jesus in a stable,
in the church a table. [Refrain] Tune Title: THEODORIC (PERSONENT HODIE)

Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
Author: Edith M. G. Reed Hymnal: Voices United #58 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Topics: Christmas Day 1 Year B Lyrics: 1 Infant holy, infant lowly,
for his bed a cattle-stall;
oxen lowing, little knowing
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. Tune Title: W ŻŁOBIE LEŻY
Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
