O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks (1831-1893) Hymnal: CP1998 #121 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 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
as love imparts to human hearts
the blessings of God's 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.

O Little Town of Bethlehem
In the Bleak Midwinter
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) Hymnal: CP1998 #122 (1998) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter, 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 midwinter, 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 midwinter a stable place sufficed
the Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.
3 Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
but his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
worshipped the beloved with a kiss.
4 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.

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Hymnal: CP1998 #123 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
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 mean and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 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,
when, like stars, his children crowned
all in white shall gather round.

Stay, My Child, My Body Sharing
Author: Anna Briggs (1947-) Hymnal: CP1998 #124 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.7.3 Lyrics: 1 Stay, my child, my body sharing.
Girlhood's peace from me is torn;
well I know a mother's fearing,
hope miscarried, joy stillborn.
Lullaby, lullaby,
God has heard a mother's cry, lullaby.
2 Grow, my child, in body chosen
by the God who made the earth;
mine the answer, in confusion,
young, unready to give birth.
Lullaby, lullaby,
God awaits a baby's cry, lullaby.
3 Sleep, my child, for love surrounds us;
we have not been left alone.
Though disgrace and shame may hound us,
Joseph stays and shields his own.
Lullaby, lullaby,
Word of God in baby's cry, lullaby.
4 Wake, my child, the world is crying,
calls you, evil's power to cross;
opens you to early dying,
motherhood's most dreaded loss.
Lullaby, lullaby,
pain of God in mother's cry, lullaby.
5 Go, my child, grace protect you,
shape your living, fill your breath;
by its power to resurrect you,
break the grip of fear and death.
Lullaby, lullaby,
hope for all in mother's cry, lullaby. Topics: Christmas; Mary; Christian Year; Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25 Languages: English Tune Title: DANIEL'S

Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
Author: Edith M. G. Reed (1885-1933) Hymnal: CP1998 #125 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 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,
nowells ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the babe is Lord of all,
Christ the babe 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 tomorrow:
Christ the babe was born for you,
Christ the babe was born for you! Topics: Christmas; Epiphany Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Languages: English Tune Title: POLISH CAROL (W ZLOBIE LEZY)

Away in a Manger
Hymnal: CP1998 #126 (1998) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for his bed Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay;
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
2 The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love you, Lord Jesus -- look down from on high
and stay by my side until morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask you to stay
close by me forever and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in your tender care,
and fit us for heaven to live with you there. Topics: Christmas; Epiphany Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Languages: English Tune Title: CRADLE SONG

Author: Geoffrey Ainger (1925-) Hymnal: CP1998 #130 (1998) Meter: 4.3.6 D Lyrics: 1 Born in the night, Mary's child,
a long way from your home:
coming in need, Mary's child,
born in a borrowed room.

your face lights up our way;
light of the world, Mary's child,
dawn on our darkened day.

you tell us God is good;
prove it is true, Mary's child.
Go to your cross of wood.

you're coming soon to reign;
king of the earth, Mary's child,
walk in our streets again. Topics: Christmas; Mary; Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25 Languages: English Tune Title: MARY'S CHILD
