Christmas Gala 2025 Hymn Verses

David City Verse 3

And through all his wondrous childhood. He would honour and obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden, in whose gentle arms he lay, Christian children all must be mild, obedient, and good as he.

David City verse 4

For he is our childhood’s pattern, Day by Day like us he grew, He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us he knew. And he feeleth for our sadness, and he shareth in our gladness.

David’s City verse 5

And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love, For that child so dear and gentle Is our lord in heaven above; And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone.

David City verse 6

Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see him, but in heaven, Set at God’s right hand on high, Where like stars his children crowned, All in white shall wait around.

O little 1

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.

O little 2

O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth, and praises sing to God the King, and peace to men on Earth; For Christ is born of Mary; And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angles keep their watch of wond’ring love. 

O little 3

How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is giv’n! So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heav’n. 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 Little 4

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 tiding tell: O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel.

God of God, Light of Light, Lo! he abhors not the Virgin’s womb; Very God begotten, not created. O come let us adore him, o come let us adore him, o come, let us adore him Christ the lord.

Sing choirs of angels, sing in exulation, Sing, all ye citizens of Heav’n above; Glory to God In the Highest. O come let us adore him, o come let us adore him, o come, let us adore him Christ the lord. 

O Come 7

Yea, Lord, we greet thee, Born this happy morning, Jesu, to thee be glory giv’n; Word of the Father, Now in flesh appearing: O come let us adore him, o come let us adore him, o come, let us adore him Christ the lord.
