Parade Day, Supplement of The Canadian Statesman/Newcastle Independent, Wednesday, November 13,1991 9 O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary; And gathering all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep 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 to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell ; O come to us, abide with us, WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT ARE We three Kings of Orient are, 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 Thy perfect light. Born a king of Bethlehem's plain, Gold I bring to crown Him again, King forever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign. Frankincense to offer have I Incense owns a Deity high, Pray and praising, all men raising, Worship Him, God most High. Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and Sacrifice, Alleluia, Alleluia, Earth to the heavens replies. HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King! Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled." Joyful, all ye nations rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th' angelic host proclaim, "Christ is born in Bethlehem". Hark the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King!" Christ, by highest heav'n adored; Christ the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Off-spring of the favored one. Veiled in flesh, the God-head see; Hail th'incarnate Deity Pleased, as man with men to dwell, Jesus, our Immanuel! Hark the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King!" Hail! the heav'n born Prince of Peace! Hail! the Son of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Ris'n with healing in His wings. Mild He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die: Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark the herald angels sing, *'Glory to the new-born King!"
