Away in a Manger

Author: John T. McFarland Hymnal: PHLG2023 #230 (2023) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; the stars in the heavens 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 Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky and stay by my side until morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, and fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there. Topics: Jesus Christ Incarnation Languages: English Tune Title: CRADLE SONG

What Child Is This?

Author: William Dix Hymnal: PHLG2023 #231 (2023) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.8.6.7 First Line: What Child is this who, laid to rest Lyrics: 1 What Child is this who, laid to rest, on Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet while shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing: haste, haste to bring Him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary. 2 Why lies He in such low estate where ox and lamb are feeding? Good Christian, fear: for sinners here the silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear shall pierce Him through; the cross be borne for me, for you. Hail, hail, the Word made flesh, the Babe, the Son of Mary. 3 So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, come peasant, king, to own Him. The King of kings salvation brings; let loving hearts enthrone Him. Raise, raise the song on high. The virgin sings her lullaby. Joy, joy, for Christ is born, the Babe, the Son of Mary! Topics: Jesus Christ Incarnation Languages: English Tune Title: GREENSLEEVES

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Philipps Brooks Hymnal: PHLG2023 #232 (2023) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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 wond'ring love. O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth, and praises sing to God the King, and peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heav'n. 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! Topics: Jesus Christ Incarnation Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

Thou Son of Man and Son of God! We, too, will lift our voices: Jesus, Jesus! Holy, holy, yet most lowly, draw Thou near us; great Emmanuel, come and hear us. 2 Though circled by the hosts on high, He deigned to cast a pitying eye upon His helpless creature; the whole creation’s Head and Lord, by highest seraphim adored, assumed our very nature; Jesus, grant us, thro' Your merit, to inherit Your salvation; hear, O hear our supplication. 3 Rejoice, O heav'ns, and earth, reply; with praise, O sinners, fill the sky for this, His incarnation. Incarnate God, put forth Your pow'r; ride on, ride on, great Conqueror, till all know Your salvation. Amen, amen! Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise be given evermore by earth and heaven.

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Hymnal: PHLG2023 #235 (2023) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 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!

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: PHLG2023 #236 (2023) 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 meek, and lowly, lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 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. 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; when like stars His children crowned all in white shall wait around.

Christians, Awake!

Author: John Byrom Hymnal: PHLG2023 #237 (2023) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 First Line: Christians, awake, salute the happy morn Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn, whereon the Savior of the world was born; rise to adore the mystery of love, which hosts of angels chanted from above; with them the joyful tidings were begun of God incarnate and the virgin's Son. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, who heard th'angelic herald's voice: "Behold, I bring good tidings of a Savior's birth to you and all the nations of the earth; this day hath God fulfilled His promised word; this day is born a Savior, Christ the Lord." 3 He spake, and straightway the celestial choir in hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire; the praises of redeeming love they sang, and heav'n's whole orb with alleluias rang; God's highest glory was their anthem still, peace on the earth, and unto men good will. 4 To Bethl'hem straight the happy shepherds ran, to see the wonder God had wrought for man; and found, with Joseph and the blessed maid, her Son, the Savior, in a manger laid; amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim, the earliest heralds of the Savior's name. 5 Oh, may we keep and ponder in our mind God's wondrous love in saving lost mankind! Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss, from His poor manger to His bitter cross. Tread in His steps, assisted by His grace, till our imperfect state God doth replace. 6 Then may we hope, th'angelic hosts among, to sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song; He that was born upon this joyful day around us all His glory shall display; saved by His love, incessant we shall sing eternal praise to heav'n's almighty King.
