4. IN THE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM (Basque)

In the town of Bethlehem, Bethlehem at the midnight hour,
Maria, his mother holy, was glad in her heart that night.

*Yesterday night in Bethlehem town*
*Jesus the Nazarene was born.*

Little Jesus, child divine, cold's the night! The hail pours down!
If longer the storm is raging, the flocks with the cold must die.

Now the ewes within the folds, all are dancing to show their joy.
He's born here to save all people, he lives with us on this earth.

In your temple, Nazareth, sits a woman of beauty rare.
Maria, she's called, Christ's mother, and heavenly grace has she.

*Baritone Solo:* Dave Blackwell, '87

5. NOW WHEN JOSEPH AND MARY (English)

Now when Joseph and Mary were to Bethlehem bound,
They with travel were weary, yet no lodging was found
In the city of David though they sought it o'er all.
They, alas, could not have it but in an ox stall.

Whilst the shepherds were feeding of their flocks in the field,
Then the birth of our Saviour unto them was revealed.
Many angels assembled in their glory appear,
Whilst the shepherds did tremble, being smitten with fear.

"O forbear to be fearful, you have reason to sing.
Then rejoice and be cheerful, we glad tidings do bring.
There is born in the city of David, therefore,
Such a Saviour of pity whom we do adore."

"He's the Prince of Salvation, then be not afraid."
And with this salutation to the shepherds they said;
"Be no longer a stranger, for in swaddling clothes
He's laid in a manger." Then the shepherds arose.

Being resolved together they to Bethlehem go,
Ay, and when they came thither, then they found it was so.
They in duty adore him, where he was laid.
Straight they fell down before him, this obedience they made.

*Soprano Solo:* Jane Dailey, '86

# PRAISE

## HYMN No. 112 (Standing)

### THE DAY'S PSALM (91)

(Minister)

One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty,

(All) Will say to the Lord, 'My refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.'

For God will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

(All) You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, Nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

(All) Because you have made the Lord your refuge, the Most High your habitation,

No evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.

(All) For the Lord will give angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways.

### THE GLORIA PATRI

WELCOME

We welcome to our pulpit this morning the Reverend Dr. Robert Gregg, Associate Professor of Church History, Duke University. You are invited to add your personal greetings at the coffee hour.

We welcome also the returning members of the Yale Glee Club, here for their 125th anniversary celebration, and appreciate their participation in the service. Thank you!

We commission today Battell members Lee Cruz, George and Betty Hill, who are going to Nicaragua this week as part of the Religious Delegation of the New Haven/Leon Sister City Project.

Dick Greenwood is the reader of the Second Lesson. Bruce Hammond, '86, Heather Kirk, '89, and Associate Pastor Samuel Slie are participating in a National Student Christian Movement leadership conference this weekend. The Lenten banner was designed by Patricia Vannorsdall.

A crib room for infants and toddlers is located in Farnam Hall, adjacent to the Chapel. The Church School (Kindergarten-6th grade) meets each Sunday throughout the academic year in Dwight Hall. The ushers will be happy to direct families to these locations.

LENTEN BOOKLET AVAILABLE

Copies of "A Lenten Booklet," to which a number of you contributed, are available in the narthex. Please take one or more as you like.

STUDENT LUNCH TODAY

All undergraduate and graduate-professional students are cordially invited to gather for lunch immediately following the service today. Robert Gregg will be our guest, and the place is the Dwight Hall Library. There is a suggested donation of $1 to cover food costs, but feel free to come whether or not you have the money.

COFFEE HOUR SHEET

There will be a sheet on the bulletin board at the coffee hour soliciting your help with future coffee hours. The specific request is that one or two people be in charge on a Sunday; instructions and implements will be on hand, the time commitment is short, and the date is your choice. Please sign up!
