In Bethlehem’s fields at even,
When, lo! a star, in radiance bright,
Shed o’er the plains its glorious light,
And angel bands, harmonious quite,
His praises sang from heaven.

II

Say, came He forth by myriads led? —
Come, gaily sound his praises high;
A crown of gold upon his head?
While angels praise Him in the sky.
Refrain.

III

Of earthly pomp the Lord had none, —
Come, gaily sound His praises high;
His kingly crown had not been won,
While angels praise Him in the sky.
Refrain.

IV

A little child the Lord became, —
Come, gaily sound His praises high,
To bear our guilt, and share our shame,
While angels praise Him in the sky.
Refrain.

V

O Jesu, Who in manger lay, —
Come, gaily sound his praises high,
Make me a little child to-day,
While angels praise Thee in the sky.
Refrain.

VI

And may I come, with spirit meet, —
Come, gaily sound His praises high,
To lay my tribute at Thy feet,
While angels praise Thee in the sky.
Refrain.

VII

To Father, Spirit, One with Christ, —
Come, gaily sound His praises high,
Be endless praise, Whose love sufficed,
While angels praise Him in the sky.
Refrain.

CAROL[2 - Music by Mr. Arthur Henry Brown.]

εὐφράνθητι Ἱερουσαλὴμ

I

Jerusalem, rejoice!
Keep festival and sing;
All ye who dwell in Zion’s courts,
Bring forth an offering.
Rejoice, rejoice,
Jerusalem, rejoice;
And sing with glee, right merrily,
Let every heart and voice.

II

To-day the chain is loosed
That long hath bound our race,
The condemnation is removed
Through God’s abounding grace.
Rejoice, rejoice, etc.

III

The gates of heaven are wide,
And Satan’s work undone;
For She[3 - Woman.] who fell beneath his power,
Now gives the world God’s Son.
Rejoice, rejoice, etc.

IV

O depth of riches great!
O height of wisdom strong!
O knowledge of the Living God,
To right such grievous wrong!
Rejoice, rejoice, etc.

V

Now, let creation sing
And leap, nor brook control,
For Christ hath come to call it back,
And save each ruined soul.
Rejoice, rejoice,
