——— GOD REST YOU MERRY —___

GENTLEMEN

God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day,

To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray;

Refrain:

O tidings of comfortand joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

In Bethlehem, in Jewry,
This blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manager,
Upon this blessed morn;
The which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn.

From God, our heavenly Father,
A blessed angel came;

And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was born
The son of God by Name.

“Fear not then,” said the angel.
“Let nothing you affright,

This day is born a Saviour

Ofa pure virgin bright,

To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might.”

Now to the Lord sing praises.
All you within this place,

And with true love and brotherhood

Each other now embrace,
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.

We three kings of Onentare,

Bearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star

Refrain

O star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding.
Guide us to they perfect light

Solo (Melchior)

Borna King on Bethlehem's plain.
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King for ever, ceasing never.
Over us all to reign.

O LITTLE TOWN OF
BETHLEHEM

7 - Supplement to the North Shore News - Wednesday, November 26, 1980

3, Myer

— WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED —

O little town of Bethlehem, While shepherds watched their flocks by night. |
How still we see thee lie! — All seated on the ground,

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The Angel of the Lord came down,

The silent stars go by: And glory shone around.

Yetin thy dark streets shineth “Fear not,” said he (for mighty dread

The everlasting Light;

The hopes and fears of all the years
Are metin thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary;
And, gathered all above,

While mortals-sleep,the- angels
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,

And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently,

The wondrous gift is given!

So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.

No ear may hear His coming;
But in this world of sin,

Where meek souls will receive Him, still

The dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend tous, we pray;

Cast out our sin, and enter in;
Be bornin us today.

We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;

O come tous, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.

WE THREE KINGS

Solo (Gaspar)

Frankincense to offer have 1.
Incense owns a Deity nigh,
Prayer and praising, all men raising.
Worship Him, God most high

Solo (Balthazar):

Myrrhis mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying.
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

All

Glonous now behold Him anse.
King and God, and Sacnfice |;
Alleluta! Alletuta!

Had seized their troubled minds);
“Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.

“To you in David's town this day

Is born of David's line

A Saviour, who-is-Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign:

The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,

All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And ina manger laid.”

Thus spake the Seraph: and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng

Of angels praising god who thus
Addressed their joyful song:

“All glory be to God on high,

And to the earth be peace:

Good-will hence forth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease.”
