CHRISTMAS EVE

5. O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas Angels
The great glad tidings tell:
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.

Suitable till Candlemas.
Laurence Housman.

THE Maker of the sun and moon,
The Maker of our earth,
Lo! late in time, a fairer boon,
Himself is brought to birth!

2 How blest was all creation then,
When God so gave increase;
And Christ, to heal the hearts of men,
Brought righteousness and peace!

3 No star in all the heights of heaven
But burned to see him go;
Yet unto earth alone was given
His human form to know.

4 His human form, by man denied,
Took death for human sin:
His endless love, through faith descried,
Still lives the world to win.

5. O perfect Love, outpassing sight,
O Light beyond our ken,
Come down through all the world to-night,
And heal the hearts of men!
