1 O LITTLE TOWN OF BEHLEHEM How still we see you lie above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heav'n So when meek souls receive Him the dear Christ enters in O holy Child Descend to us, we pray Cast out our sin and enter in Be born in us today Because you came to Bethlehem to wash our sins away of Beth - lehem!

4 IT CAME UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR 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 heavens all gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled And still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing And always over its troubled sounds the blessed angels sing For lo! the days are hastening on by prophets seen of old When with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold When the new Heaven and Earth shall see the Prince of Peace, their King And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing Vocals: Diana Wood, Mark Bradford.

5 WHAT CHILD IS THIS? 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?
