It Came Upon A Midnight Clear It came upon the midnight clear, And man, at war with man, hears not That glorious song of old, The tidings which they bring; From angels bending near the earth O hush the noise, ye men of strife, To touch their harps of gold: And hear the angels sing! “Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven’s all-gracious King.” O ye, beneath life’s crushing load, The world in solemn stillness lay Whose forms are bending low, To hear the angels sing. Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Still through the cloven skies they come Look now! for glad and golden hours With peaceful wings unfurled, Come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road And still their heavenly music floats And hear the angels sing! O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains For lo! the days are hastening on, They bend on hovering wing, By prophets seen of old, And ever o’er its Babel-sounds When with the ever-circling years The blessed angels sing. Shall come the time foretold, When peace shall over all the earth Yet with the woes of sin and strife Its ancient splendors fling, The world has suffered long; And the whole world give back the song Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled Which now the angels sing. Two thousand years of wrong; 2019 HOLIDAY SONG BOOKO 7 What Child Is This What child is this, who, laid to rest, Where ox and ass are feeding? On Mary’s lap is sleeping? Good Christian, fear: for sinners here Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, The silent Word is pleading. While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Come, peasant, king, to own him. Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary. the King of kings salvation brings, Why lies he in such mean estate Let loving hearts enthrone him.

Down the chimney St.Nicholas And the beard on his chin came with a bound. was as white as the snow. He was dressed all in furs The stump of a pipe he held from his head to his foot, tight in his teeth, and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; And the smoke it encircled A bundle of toys his head like a wreath. he had flung on his back, He had a broad face and And he looked like a pedlar a little round belly just opening his pack. That shook, when he laughed, His eyes how they twinkled! like a bowl full of jelly. His dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, He was chubby and plump, his nose like a cherry; a right jolly old elf, His droll little mouth And laughed when I saw him, was drawn up like a bow, in spite of myself.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem O little town of Bethlehem, And praises sing to God the King, Son of the mother mild; How still we see the lie! And peace to men on earth. Where charity stands watching Above thy deep and dreamless sleep And faith holds wide the door, The silent stars go by; How silently, how silently, The dark night wakes, the glory breaks, Yet in thy dark streets shineth The wondrous gift is given! And Christmas comes once more. The everlasting Light; So God imparts to human hearts The hopes and fears of all the years The blessings of his heaven. O holy Child of Bethlehem! Are met in thee to-night. No ear may hear his coming, Descend to us, we pray; But in this world of sin, Cast out our sin and enter in, For Christ is born of Mary, Where meek souls will receive him, still And gathered all above, The dear Christ enters in. Be born in us to-day. While mortals sleep, the angels keep We hear the Christmas angels Their watch of wondering love. Where children pure and happy The great glad tidings tell; O morning stars, together Pray to the blessed Child, O come to us, abide with us, Proclaim the holy birth! Where misery cries out to thee, Our Lord Emmanuel! O Come, O Come Emmanuel O come, O come, Emmanuel, O come, O come, Emmanuel, And close the path to misery. Refrain And ransom captive Israel, And ransom captive Israel, O come, Thou Wisdom That mourns in lonely exile here That mourns in lonely exile here from on high, Until the Son of God appear. Until the Son of God appear. And order all things, far and nigh; Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel To us the path of knowledge show, Shall come to thee, O Israel. Shall come to thee, O Israel. And cause us in her ways to go.

O come, O come, O come, Thou Dayspring, O come, O come, Emmanuel, Thou Lord of Might, come and cheer And ransom captive Israel, Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height, Our spirits by Thine here; That mourns in lonely exile here In ancient times didst give the law, Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, Until the Son of God appear. In cloud, and majesty, and awe. And death’s dark shadows Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel put to flight. Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, O come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel, O come, O come, Emmanuel, O come, Desire of nations, bind That mourns in lonely exile here And ransom captive Israel, In one the hearts of all mankind; Until the Son of God appear. That mourns in lonely exile here Bid Thou our sad divisions cease, Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel Until the Son of God appear. And be Thyself our King of peace. Shall come to thee, O Israel. Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, O come, Emmanuel, O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free And ransom captive Israel, Thine own from Satan’s tyranny; O come, Thou Key of David, come, That mourns in lonely exile here From depths of hell Thy people save And open wide our heavenly home; Until the Son of God appear.
