Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 53 hymnals Topics: Jesus, Birth; Jesus, Savior; Praise, Adoration, Worship, Exaltation of Jesus 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 Savior?
Ask the saved of all the race
Who have found His favor.
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! Used With Tune: TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM

Joyful Is the Dark
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 5.5.10.6.5.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Birth of Lyrics: 1 Joyful is the dark,
holy, hidden God,
rolling cloud of night beyond all naming,
majesty in darkness,
energy of love,
Word in flesh, the mystery proclaiming.
2 Joyful is the dark
Spirit of the deep,
winging wildly o’er the world’s creation,
silken sheen of midnight
plumage black and bright,
swooping with the beauty of a raven.
3 Joyful is the dark,
shadowed stable floor;
angels flicker, God on earth confessing,
as with exultation,
Mary, giving birth,
hails the infant cry of need and blessing.
4 Joyful is the dark
coolness of the tomb,
waiting for the wonder of the morning.
Never was that midnight
touched by dread and gloom:
darkness was the cradle of the dawning.
5 Joyful is the dark
depth of love divine,
roaring, looming thundercloud of glory,
holy, haunting beauty,
living, loving God.
Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story! Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2 Used With Tune: JOYFUL DARK Text Sources: Bring Many Names
