HYMNS:
204
GLORY be to God on high,
and peace on earth descend:
God comes down, He bows the sky,
and shows Himself our friend:
God the invisible appears:
God, the blest, the great I AM,
sojourns in this vale of tears,
and Jesus is His name.
2 Him the angels all adored,
their maker and their King;
tidings of their humbled Lord
they now to mortals bring.
Emptied of His majesty,
of His dazzling glories shorn,
being’s source begins to be,
and God Himself is born!
3 See the eternal Son of God
a mortal Son of man;
dwelling in an earthly clod,
whom heaven cannot contain.
Stand amazed, ye heavens, at this!
See the Lord of earth and skies;
humbled to the dust He is,
and in a manger lies.
4 We, the sons of men, rejoice,
the Prince of Peace proclaim;
with heaven’s host lift up our voice,
and shout Immanuel’s name:
knees and hearts to Him we bow;
of our flesh and of our bone,
Jesus is our brother now,
and God is all our own.
Charles Wesley, 1707-88

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you
Verse Two
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will calm the storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?
Verse Three
The blind will see, the deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb
Verse Four
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you’re holding
Is the great, I Am.
Mark Lowry & Buddy Greene. CCLI 839225

1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
the stars in the heavens looked down where He lay,
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
2 The cattle are 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 side until 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 fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there.
M. Luther atrr.

ANGELS from the realms of glory,
wing your flight o’er all the earth;
ye who sang creation’s story,
now proclaim Messiah’s birth;
Come and worship
Christ, the new-born King:
come and worship,
worship Christ the new-born King.
2 Shepherds, in the field abiding,
watching o’er your flocks by night,
God with man 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;
James Montgomery, 1771-1854
