stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her Baby
in a manger for his bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall.
With the poor and meek and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love;
for that Child so dear and helpless
is our Lord in heaven above;
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone.
4 Not in that poor lowly stable,
with the oxen standing by,
we shall see him; but in heaven,
set at God's right hand on high,
where his children gather round,
bright like stars, with glory crowned. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

And doubts and fears arise,
The weakest shall prevail,
And grasp the heavenly prize,
And through an endless age record
Thy love, thy changeless love, O Lord. Topics: Attributes of God Love; Love

O How He Loves You and Me
O thou, who hast redeemed of old
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #812 (1873) Scripture: 1 John 3:16 Lyrics: 1 O thou, who hast redeemed of old,
And bidd'st me of thy strength lay hold,
And be at peace with thee,
Help me thy benefits to own,
And hear me tell what thou hast done,
O dying Lamb! for me.
2 Love, only love, thy heart inclined,
And brought thee, Saviour of mankind,
Down from thy throne above;
Love made my God a Man of grief,
Distressed thee sore for my relief:
Oh, mystery of love!
3 As thou hast loved and died for me
So grant me, Saviour, love to thee,
And gladly I resign
Whate'er I have, whate'er I am:
My life be all with thine the same,
And all thy death be mine. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings; The Mystery of Christ's Love

O Christian brethern marvel not!
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 John 3:13-18 Lyrics: 1 O Christian brethern marvel not!
What if the world hate you;
It is the christians share and lot,
Whilst here on earth below.
2 The world will ever love its ways,
That of unrighteousness!
The carnal mind can ne'er embrace
The ways of life and peace.
3 Those who have pass'd from death to life
Must needs expect to find,
Continual war, and constant strife,
With those of carnal mind.
4 The soul remains with sin defil'd!
Whilst in a carnal state--
And never will be reconciled
To bear the christians fate.
5 Where there is not a living faith,
The mind is not renew'd;
And still remains in sin and death,
And enmity with God. Topics: Second Sunday after Trinity Languages: English

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #62a (2009) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Scripture: 1 John 3:1 Lyrics: O God, our Creator, you work every day:
A potter, you form us, your people, like clay.
A shepherd, you guide us and seek out the lost.
A parent, you love us, not counting the cost.
Christ Jesus, how rough were your hard-working hands!
You labored among us; our God understands!
Bless workers who struggle, their families to feed;
Bless those who face hardship, oppression, or greed.
Lord, some live among us who need constant care,
Whose work is to make us more humbly aware.
They teach us the best of your lessons, by far:
It’s not what we do, Lord, you love who we are!
We’re baptized! Your Spirit gives new work to do,
That we, through our serving, may glorify you.
Each person’s vocation, each calling, has worth
As you send us out to bring Christ’s love on earth.

One day an angel here on this earth
Author: Alison M. Robertson (b. 1940) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #299 (2005) Meter: 9.9.9.9 Scripture: 1 John 3:24 Lyrics: 1 One day an angel here on this earth
spoke of God's presence coming to birth.
Mary was listening; humbly her heart
sang at the Word God chose to impart.
2 Mary gave birth in Bethlehem's cave,
blessed by the child God chose her to have.
Love was the reason God had become
close to his mother, far from her home.
3 Out in the fields a heavenly throng
broke through the dark with resonant song.
Shepherds, who saw God's glory by night,
sped on their way to worship the Light.
4 Jesus, your Spirit, shining with care,
speaks to the world you treasure and share.
Come with the human touch of your birth;
find in our hearts your home on this earth. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Angels; Annunciation; Mary Languages: English Tune Title: STEP-WISE
