Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
Author: Edith M. G. Reed, 1885-1933 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Infant holy, infant lowly,
For His bed a cattle stall;
Oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the child is Lord of all.
Swiftly winging, angels singing,
Bells are ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the child is Lord of all!
Christ the child is Lord of 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 child was born for you!
Christ the child was born for you! Topics: Christmas Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Used With Tune: W ZLOBIE LEZY Text Sources: Polish carol

While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And never rests by day or night.

The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.

Thy children under western skies,
And hour by hour, as day is breaking,
Fresh hymns of thankful praise arise.

Like earth’s proud empires, pass away;
Thy kingdom stands and grows forever,
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway. Topics: Evening; Church (General); Missions Scripture: Psalm 113:2-4 Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT

Mourning exiles now are we.

Make us for a while forego;
For the solemn time is coming
When our tears for sin must flow.

Grant us, blessed Trinity,
At the last to keep Thine Easter
With Thy faithful saints on high;
There to Thee forever singing
