Phillips Brooks - lyricist of "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and namesake of the Phillips Brooks House Association
Phillips Brooks' O Little Town of Bethlehem (1867) has the lines "O morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth, / And praises sing to God the King, and peace to men on earth!" The originally German carol Silent Night has "Shepherds quake at the sight; / Glories stream from heaven afar, / Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!"
William Rhys-Herbert included a new hymn-tune and harmonization as part of his 1909 cantata, Bethany.
