Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming,
As seers of old have sung.
It came, a blossom bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind;
With Mary we behold it,
The Virgin Mother kind.
To show God's love aright,
She bore to us a Savior,
When half spent was the night.
3 This Flow'r, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor
The darkness ev'rywhere.
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death he saves us,
And lightens ev'ry load.

And that future years shall see
Evermore and evermore!

When the Virgin, full of grace,
Overshadowed by the Spirit,
Bore the Savior of our race;
And the babe, the world's redeemer,
First revealed his sacred face,
Evermore and evermore!

Sang of old with one accord,
Whom the voices of the prophets
Promised in their faithful word;
Now he shines, the long expected;
Let creation praise its Lord
Evermore and evermore!

Angel hosts, his praises sing;
Pow'rs, dominions, bow before him
And extol our God and King;
Let no tongue on earth be silent,
Ev'ry voice in concert ring
Evermore and evermore!
5 Christ, to you, with God the Father,
And the Spirit, One in Three,
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
And unwearied praises be:
Honor, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory
Evermore and evermore!

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 meek and lowly
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 And, through all his wondrous childhood,
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms he lay.
Christian children all should be
Kind, obedient, good as he.
4 For he is our childhood's pattern,
Day by day like us he grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us he knew.
And he feels for all our sadness,
And he shares in all our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Through his own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heav'n above.
And he leads his children on
To the place where he is gone. Scripture: Luke 2:7 Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

Shining in the east beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]

Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]

O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]

Full rev'rently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [Refrain]

Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord,
Who made the heaven's and earth of naught,
And with his blood our life has bought. [Refrain] Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Languages: English Tune Title: THE FIRST NOWELL
