O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
Verse 1:
O little town of Bethlehem
how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight

proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
and peace to men on earth
For Christ is born of Mary
and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
their watch of wond’ring love

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

Cast out our sin and enter in

Once In Royal David’s City (Irby)
Verse 1
Once in royal David’s city
Stood a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little child
Verse 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 meek and lowly
Lived on earth our Savior holy
Verse 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 feels for all our sadness
And He shares in all our gladness
Verse 4
And our eyes at last shall see Him
Through His own redeeming lov
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above
And He leads His children on
To the place where He has gone
