Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:7 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! Used With Tune: TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM

Author: Louis FitzGerald Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 66 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:8-15 Lyrics: 1 O sing a song of Bethlehem, Of shepherds watching there, And of the news that came to them From angels in the air: The light that shone on Bethlehem Fills all the world today; Of Jesus’ birth and peace on earth The angels sing alway. 2 O sing a song of Nazareth, Of sunny days of joy, O sing of fragrant flowers’ breath, And of the sinless Boy; For now the flowers of Nazareth In every heart may grow; Now spreads the fame of His dear Name On all the winds that blow. 3 O sing a song of Galilee, Of lake and woods and hill, Of Him who walked upon the sea And bade the waves be still: For though, like waves on Galilee, Dark seas of trouble roll, When faith has heard the Master’s word, Falls peace upon the soul. 4 O sing a song of Calvary, Its glory and dismay; Of Him who hung upon the tree, And took our sins away: For He who died on Calvary Is risen from the grave, And Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored, Is mighty now to save.

O Holy Night

Author: John S. Dwight, 19th C. Meter: Irregular Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:8-16 First Line: O holy night, the stars are brightly shining Lyrics: 1 O holy night, the stars are brightly shining, it is the night of the dear Savior’s birth; long lay the world in sin and error pining, till He appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn! Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices! O night divine! O night when Christ was born! O night divine! O night, O night divine! 2 Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, with glowing hearts by his cradle we stand; so led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, here came the wise men from Orient land. The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger, in all our trials born to be our friend; he knows our need, he guards us from all danger. Behold your King; before him lowly bend! Behold your King; before Him lowly bend! 3 Truly he taught us to love one another; his law is love and his gospel is peace. Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother, and in his name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raising, let all within us praise his holy name. Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever! His power and glory evermore proclaim! His power and glory evermore proclaim! Topics: Christmas Season Used With Tune: CANTIQUE DE NOEL
