“O Come to the Manger” combines this hymn set to FOREST GREEN with the German children's carol, “O Come, Little Children,” employing men's voices and a children's choir with piano and flute accompaniment. “Christmas Carol Fest III” contains a handbell arrangement that can be used as an instrumental piece or to accompany singing. “O Little Town of Bethlehem” is an arrangement for choir and piano accompaniment with varying choral textures. LOUIS may be used to introduce or conclude a time of silent prayer. It was originally written for children, but is used by Christians of all ages. This hymn is suitable for the Advent and Christmas seasons. It was originally named “The Ploughboy’s Dream,” but Vaughan Williams named it after the village of Forest Green in Surrey, where he first heard it. It first appeared in the English Hymnal in 1906 with this text. The other tune, FOREST GREEN is an English folk tune transcribed and arranged by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1903. Though the origin of the name of the tune is unclear, it was probably named after the composer by the publisher of The Church Porch of 1874, where this hymn was first published (with “Lewis” altered to “Louis”). Brooks nor I ever thought the carol or the music to it would live beyond that Christmas of 1868.” However, this tune and text pairing has lasted over one hundred forty years, and is one of the best-loved American Christmas hymns. Redner delayed composing the tune until the night before it was to be sung for the first time, on December 27, 1868. LOUIS was commissioned by Brooks for the text in 1868 from the organist for Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Lewis Redner. There are two tunes in common use with this text, and some hymnals include both. The final stanza is a prayer that Christ would come and transform our lives. The heraldic chorus of angels is minimized in the lines “While mortals sleep, the angels keep The hymn focuses on the relative silence of the birth of Christ – Bethlehem was just a little town, and only a few people paid attention to the event. It was originally written in five stanzas, but the fourth is usually omitted. That year, he commissioned a tune for it from his church organist so that it could be sung at the Sunday school service at his church for Christmas on December 27, 1868. This hymn was probably inspired by this journey, but Brooks did not complete the hymn until 1868. (Hallowed be Thy name.) Chorus (2XS) (Hallowed be thy Name Hallowed be thy Name) Well Your my Jehovah Jireh (Hallowed be thy Name) You're my provider. (Hallowed be Thy name.) And everybody will see that You set my soul afire.
At that time, Brooks was rector of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. (Hallowed be Thy name.) I'm going to lift You up. He rode on horseback through the fields around Bethlehem, and attended the Church of the Nativity on Christmas Eve. In 1865, Phillips Brooks spent some time in Israel, and was in Bethlehem for Christmas.
