It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #157 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Christ Birth of Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold; "Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King:" The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hov'ring wing, And ever o'er its Babel-sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hast'ning on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 25:7 Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

Hail the Bless’d Morn

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Voices Together #272 (2020) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Jesus Christ Birth of First Line: Hail the bless’d morn, see the great Mediator Lyrics: 1 Hail the bless’d morn, see the great Mediator down from the region of glory descend! Shepherds, go worship the babe in the manger, lo, for his guard the bright angels attend. 2 Shall we not yield him, in costly devotion, fragrance of Edom and off’rings divine, gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, myrrh from the forest or gold from the mine? 3 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. 4 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining, low lies his head with the beasts of the stall. Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Savior of all. 5 Bright-est and best of the stars 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. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Tune Title: MORNING STAR

Joyful Is the Dark

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices Together #281 (2020) Meter: 5.5.10.6.5.10 Topics: Jesus Christ Birth of Lyrics: 1 Joyful is the dark, holy, hidden God, rolling cloud of night beyond all naming, majesty in darkness, energy of love, Word in flesh, the mystery proclaiming. 2 Joyful is the dark Spirit of the deep, winging wildly o’er the world’s creation, silken sheen of midnight plumage black and bright, swooping with the beauty of a raven. 3 Joyful is the dark, shadowed stable floor; angels flicker, God on earth confessing, as with exultation, Mary, giving birth, hails the infant cry of need and blessing. 4 Joyful is the dark coolness of the tomb, waiting for the wonder of the morning. Never was that midnight touched by dread and gloom: darkness was the cradle of the dawning. 5 Joyful is the dark depth of love divine, roaring, looming thundercloud of glory, holy, haunting beauty, living, loving God. Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story! Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2 Tune Title: JOYFUL DARK
