Musical offering for the ninth day of Christmas
January 2, 2022
Infant holy, infant lowly,
For his bed a cattle stall;
Oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
Noels ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the babe is Lord of all!
Christ the babe is Lord of all!
Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
Vigil till the morning new;
Saw the glory, heard the story,
Tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
Praises voicing, greet the morrow:
Christ the babe was born for you!
Christ the babe was born for you!
Musical offering for Christmas Day
December 25, 2021
On Christmas night, all Christians sing
To hear the news the angels bring;
News of great joy, news of great mirth,
News of our merciful King’s birth.
Then why should men on earth be so sad,
Since our Redeemer made us glad,
When from our sin he set us free
All for to gain our liberty.
When sin departs before his grace,
Then life and health come in its place;
Angels and men with joy may sing
All for to see the newborn King.
All out of darkness we have light,
Which made the angels sing this night:
Glory to God and peace to men,
Now and forevermore. Amen.
