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 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. Where children pure and happy pray to the blessèd Child, Where misery cries out to Thee, Son of the mother mild; Where charity stands watching and faith holds wide the door, The dark night wakes, the glory breaks, and Christmas comes once more.

5. 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!

2. Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching o’er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing; Yonder shines the infant light:

3. Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations; Ye have seen His natal star.

4. Saints, before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear; Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear.

5. Sinners, wrung with true repentance, Doomed for guilt to endless pains, Justice now revokes the sentence, Mercy calls you; break your chains.

6. Though an Infant now we view Him, He shall fill His Father’s throne, Gather all the nations to Him; Every knee shall then bow down:

7. All creation, join in praising God, the Father, Spirit, Son, Evermore your voices raising To th’eternal Three in One.

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 mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy.

3. Jesus is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us He grew; He was little, weak and helpless, Tears and smiles like us He knew: And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness.

4. 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.

5. "I" said the dove from the rafters high Cooed him to sleep that he should not cry We cooed him to sleep my love and I "I" said the dove from the rafters high

6. And "I" said the camel all yellow and black Over the desert upon my back I brought him a gift in the wise men's pack "I" said the camel all yellow and black

7. Thus every beast remembering it well In the stable dark was so proud to tell Of the gifts that they gave Emmanuel The gifts that they gave Emmanuel

Refrain:

6. The holly and the ivy Now both are full well grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown. O the rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing of the choir

2. Born a King on Bethlehem's plain, Gold I bring to crown him again, King forever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign.

3. Frankincense to offer have I; Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer and praising, voices raising, Worshiping God on high.

4. Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

5. Glorious now behold him arise; King and God and sacrifice: Alleluia, Alleluia, Sounds through the earth and skies.

2. The night before that happy tide, The noble Virgin and her guide Were long time seeking up and down To find a lodging in the town. But mark how all things came to pass: From ev'ry door repell'd, alas! As long foretold, their refuge all Was but an humble ox's stall.

3. Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep; To whom God's angels did appear, Which put the shepherds in great fear. "Prepare and go," the angels said, "To Bethlehem, be not afraid; For there you'll find, this happy morn, A princely Babe, sweet Jesus born."

4. With thankful heart and joyful mind, The shepherds went the Babe to find, And as God's angel had foretold, They did our Saviour Christ behold. Within a manger He was laid, And by his side the Virgin Maid, Attending on the Lord of Life, Who came on earth to end all strife.

5. There were three wise men from afar Directed by a glorious star, And on they wandered night and day Until they came where Jesus lay. And when they came unto that place Where our beloved Messiah was, They humbly cast them at His feet, With gifts of gold and incense sweet.
