Once in royal David's city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #315 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany 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 Saviour holy. 3 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love, for that Child so dear and helpless is our Lord in heaven 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; where his children gather round, bright like stars, with glory crowned.

O little town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93 Hymnal: Together in Song #316 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ Incarnation Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see you lie! Above your deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by: yet, in your dark streets shining the everlasting light, the hopes and fears of all the years are met in you 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! So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his 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 their great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel. Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Languages: English Tune Title: FORET GREEN
