Amen. Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Author: Bishop Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Hymnal #136 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Christ Birth and Infancy of Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining; Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall: Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all! 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Amen. Tune Title: MORNING STAR

"The child Jesus"

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: Laudes Domini #137 (1890) Topics: Advent of Christ At Birth; Advent of Christ At Birth First Line: Once in royal David's city 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 lowly, poor, and mean, Lived on earth our Saviour then. 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 must be Mild, obedient, good as he. 4 Oh, our eyes at last shall see him, Through his own redeeming love, For that child so dear and gentle Is our God in heaven above; And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. 5 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 wait around.

"Friend of Sinners"

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #138 (1890) Topics: Advent of Christ At Birth; Advent of Christ At Birth First Line: One there is above all others Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend; His is love beyond a brother's. Costly, free, and knows no end: They who once his kindness prove Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But our Jesus died to have us Reconciled in him to God: This was boundless love indeed! Jesus is a friend in need. 3 When he lived on earth abased, "Friend of sinners" was his name; Now above all glories raised, He rejoices in the same; Still he calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 Could we bear from one another What he daily bears from us? Yet this glorious Friend and Brother Loved us though we treat him thus: Though for good we render ill, He accounts us brethren still. 5 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love; We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love thee as we ought. Languages: English

When peace shall over all the earth Its final splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing! Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL
