This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing! Haste, haste to bring Him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary! 2 Why lies He in such mean estate, where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians, fear, for sinners here the silent Word is pleading. Nails, spears, shall pierce Him through, the cross be borne for me, for you. Hail, hail, the Word made flesh, the Babe, the Son of Mary! 3 So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, come, peasant, king, to own Him; the King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him. Raise, raise the song on high! The Virgin sings her lullaby. Joy, joy for Christ is born, the Babe, the Son of Mary!

Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake, all now mysterious shall be clear at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know his voice, who ruled them while he dwelt below. 3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart and all is darkened in the vale of tears, then you shall better know his love, his heart, who comes to soothe your sorrow, calm your fears. Be still, my soul: for Jesus can repay from his own fullness all he takes away. 4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on when we shall be for ever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief and fear are gone, sorrow forgotten, love's pure joy restored.

Her noblest life my spirit draws from his dear wounds, and bleeding side. 5 I would for ever speak his name in sounds to mortal ears unknown, with angels join to praise the Lamb, and worship at his Father's throne.
