 O’er young and old, o’er burgess bold,
 And guests in goodly number;
 For sheltered safe from winter’s frost,
 Well housed and warm all lie,
 Secure from snow in street below,
 And screened from frozen sky.

 Save lowly manger stall,
 Where cold winds blow on Thy form divine,
 Who comest to save us all.The crowds who sleep in Bethle’em’s walls 
 Both citizen and stranger,
 From royal blood alike have sprung,
 And spurn the humble manger.
 But all one day must wend their way,
 Heaving their latest sigh,
 To mortal doom in lonesome tomb,
 And in corruption lie.
 But Babe benign! No power malign
 Shall over Thee bear sway;
 Thy life of light in the heavens bright
 Shall glow in eternal day!To us, sweet Babe! Thy lowly crib 
 Than costly couch is dearer,
 It seems to make Thee more our own,
 To bring the Godhead nearer!
 It seems to show Thy sympathy
 For human grief and pain,
 And makes us long to raise the song
 Of Noel o’er again!
 O Babe benign! Thy love divine
 Shed round us, day by day;
 Sweet Child of light! Be Thou our might,
 Our gentle King for aye!Play source: Cyberhymnal

									 [Mat 2:16] When Christ Was Born In Bethlehem [Mat 2:16] When Christ Was Born In Bethlehem  When Christ was born in Bethlehem, 
 Fair peace on earth to bring,
 In lowly state of love He came
 To be the children’s King.And round Him, then, a holy band 
 Of children blest was born,
 Fair guardians of His throne to stand
 Attendant night and morn.And unto them this grace was giv’n 
 A Savior’s Name to own,
 And die for Him who out of Heav’n
 Had found on earth a throne.O blessèd babes of Bethlehem, 
 Who died to save our King,
 Ye share the martyrs’ diadem,
 And in their anthem sing!Your lips, on earth that never spake, 
 Now sound th’eternal word;
 And in the courts of love ye make
 Your children’s voices heard.Lord Jesus Christ, eternal Child, 
 Make Thou our childhood Thine;
 That we with Thee the meek and mild
 May share the love divine.Play source: Cyberhymnal
