Hark! the Herald Angels Sing

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1,366 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth, and mercy mild; God and sinners reconciled!" Joyful, all ye nations, rise; Join the triumphs of the skies; With th'angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem! With th'angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem! 2 Mild, He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die; Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; Hail th'incarnate Deity; Pleased as man with men to dwell Jesus, our Immanuel! Pleased as man with men to dwell Jesus, our Immanuel! 3 Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Ris'n with healing in His wings; Christ, by highest heav'n adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord; Come, Desire of nations, come, Fix in us Thy humble home; Come, Desire of nations, come, Fix in us Thy humble home. Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN

The First Noel

Appears in 420 hymnals First Line: The first Noel the angels did say Lyrics: 1 The first Noel the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds, in field as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night That was so deep. Chorus: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. 2 And by the light of that same Star, Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a Kig was their intent, And so follow the Star wherever it went. [Chorus] 3 This Star drew nigh to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest; And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Chorus] 4 Then entered in those wise men there Full rev'rently upon their knee; And offered there in His presence Their gold, and myrrh and frankincense. [Chorus] 6 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord; That hath made heaven and earth of naught, And with his blood mankind hath bought. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [The first Noel the angels did say] Text Sources: Traditional

Away In A Manger

Appears in 567 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, No crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head; The stars in the sky Looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, Asleep on the hay. 2 The cattle were lowing— The Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, No crying He makes: I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle, Till morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, And love me, I pray; Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care, And take us to heaven, To live with Thee there.

It Came Upon the Midnighty Clear

Author: E. H. Sears Appears in 905 hymnals First Line: It came upon the midnight clear 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, goodwill to men, From heav'n's all-gracious King." The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still thro' 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 lonely plains They bend on hov'ring wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife The world has suffered long; Beneath the angel-strain have rolled Two thousand years of wrong; And men, at war with men, hear not The love-song which they bring: O hush the noise, ye men of strife And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo! the days are hast'ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years, Shall come the time foretold. When the new heav'n and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song, Which now the angels sing. Used With Tune: CAROL
