the God made Man.

3.
She laid Him in the stall at Bethlehem;
The ass and oxen shared the roof with him.

4.
Saint Joseph to was by, to tend the Child;
To guard Him, and protect His Mother mild.

5.
The angels hovered 'round, and sang this song;
"Venite, adoremus Dominum."

6.
And then that manger poor became a throne;
For He whom Mary bore was God the Son.

7.
O come then, let us join the heav'nly host,
To praise the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

CHRISTMAS

Stars of Glory

Carol
Dr. Husenbeth
S. Janowska

Slowly

1.
Stars of glory, shine more brightly,
Purer be the moonlight's beam,
Glide, ye hours and moments, lightly,
Swiftly down time's deepening stream;
Bring the hour that banished sadness
Brought redemption down to earth;
When the shepherds heard with gladness
Tidings of the Saviour's birth.

2.
See a beauteous angel soaring
In the bright celestial blaze,
On the shepherds, low adoring
Rest his mild effulgent rays;
"Fear not," cries the heav'nly stranger,
"Him Whom ancient seers foretold,
Weeping in a lowly manger
Shepherds, haste ye to behold."

3.
See the shepherd quickly rising,
Hast'ning to the humble stall,
And the newborn Infant prizing,
As the mighty Lord of all;
Lowly now they bend before Him
In His helpless infant state,
Firmly faithful, they adore Him,
And His greatness celebrate.

4.
Hark! The swell of heav'nly voices
Peals along the vaulted sky;
Angels sing while earth rejoices
"Glory to our God on high;
Glory in the highest heaven,
Peace to humble men on earth;"
Joy to these and bliss is given
In the great Redeemer's birth.

CHRISTMAS
O Sing a joyous carol

Sister M. B.
from "Alte Katholische geistliche Kirchengesang" (Koln, 1599)*

* Catholic melody incorrectly attributed to M. Praetorius

Joyously

1.
O sing a joyful carol
Unto the holy Child,
And praise with gladsome voices
His Mother undefiled.
Our gladsome voices greeting
Shall hail our Infant King
And our sweet Lady listens
When joyful voices sing.

2.
Who is there meekly lying
In yonder stable poor?
Dear children, it is Jesus;
He bids you now adore.
Who is there kneeling by Him
In Virgin beauty fair?
It is our Mother Mary,
She bids you all draw near.

3.
Who is there near the cradle,
That guards the holy Child?
It is our father Joseph
Chaste spouse of M
