What Child Is This?

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
William Dix, 1865

"Adoration of a King" - Rembrandt

O Holy Night

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.

Placide Cappeau, 1847

Free yourself from the chains on your neck,

O captive Daughter of Zion
Isaiah 52:2

O Come, All Ye Faithful,

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest
John Wade, 1743
