God Himself comes down from heaven; 2 God of God, and Light of Light, 3 God with us, Emmanuel, 4 God comes down that man may rise, 5 Oh, renew us, Lord, we pray, With the Father and with Thee. 58 P. M. LITTLE town of Bethlehem! How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep Yet in thy dark streets shineth The hopes and fears of all the years 2 For Christ is born of Mary, Proclaim the holy birth! 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem! 59 IT D. C. M. T came upon the midnight clear, To touch their harps of gold; 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, 30 ye, beneath life's crushing load, 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, When with the ever-circling years, Shall come the time foretold, When the new heaven and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing. 60 AN 8.7.8.7.4.7.
