What Child Is This

Author: Willam C. Dix Hymnal: CWLH1993 #67 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.8.6.7 First Line: What child is this who, laid to rest Lyrics: 1 What child is this who, laid to rest, On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet With anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping? 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 oxen now are feeding? Good Christians, fear; For sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear shall pierce him through; The cross he'll bear 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!

The stars in the bright sky 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 you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask you to stay Close by me forever and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in your tender care, And take us to heaven to live with you there. Topics: Christmas; Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CRADLE SONG

Across the Sky the Shades of Night

Author: James Hamilton Hymnal: CWLH1993 #69 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Across the sky the shades of night This New Year's Eve are fleeting. We deck your altar, Lord, with light, In solemn worship meeting, And, as the year's last hours go by, We raise to you our earnest cry, Once more your love entreating. 2 We gather up in this brief hour The mem'ry of your mercies. Your wondrous goodness, love, and pow'r Our grateful song rehearses, For you have been our strength and stay In many a dark and dreary day Of sorrow and reverses. 3 Before the cross, subdued, we bow, To you our prayers addressing, Recounting all your mercies now And all our sins confessing. We ask you, Lord, this coming year To keep us in your faith and fear And crown us with your blessing. 4 And while we pray, we lift our eyes To dear ones gone before us, Safe home with you in Paradise, Where Jesus will reign o'er us, And ask of you, when life is past, To reunite us all at last With those who've gone before us. 5 Then, gracious God, in years to come, Whatever may betide us, Right onward through our journey home, Oh, stay at hand to guide us, Nor leave us till, at close of life, Safe from all peril, toil, and strife, Heav'n shall enfold and hide us.

Help Us, O Lord, For Now We Enter

Author: Johann Rist; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: CWLH1993 #70 (1993) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Help us, O Lord, for now we enter Upon another year today. In you our hopes and thoughts now center; Renew our courage for the way. New life, new strength, new happiness We ask of you -- oh, hear and bless. 2 May ev'ry plan and undertaking Begin this year, O Lord, with you; When I am sleeping or am waking, Help me, dear Lord, your will to do. In you alone, my God, I live; You only can my sins forgive. 3 And may this year to me be holy; Your grace so fill my ev'ry thought That all my life be pure and lowly And truthful, as a Christian's ought. So make me while I'm living here Your faithful servant through the year. 4 Jesus, be with me and direct me; Jesus, my plans and hopes inspire; Jesus, from tempting thoughts protect me; Jesus, be all my heart's desire; Jesus, be in my thoughts all day And never let me fall away. 5 And grant, Lord, when the year is over, That it for me in peace may close. In all things care for me and cover My head in time of fear and woes. So may I, when my life is done, Appear with joy before your throne.
