1. ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
1.Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

2.Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

3. Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing,
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

2. AWAY IN A MANGER
1. Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His
sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked
down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the
hay.

2. The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,

But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the
ffffsky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

3. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay

Close by me forever, and love me, I pray;
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
And take us to Heaven to live with
Thee there.

3. THE FIRST NOEL
1. The Pirst Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in Pields as they
lay;
In Pields where they lay, keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
(Chorus)
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

2. The star drew nigh to the north-west;

O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
(Chorus)
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

3. Then entered in those Wise Men three,

Fell reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
(Chorus)
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

4. HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING
1. Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King,
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With the angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"

2. Christ, by highest heaven adored;

Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of the Virgin's womb.
Veiled in Plesh the Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Deity,
Pleased as Man with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"

3. Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings.
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"

5. O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL
1. O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!
Come and behold him
Born the King of Angels:
(Chorus)
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

2. Sing, choirs of angels,

Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens
Of Heaven above!
Glory to God in the highest:
(Chorus)
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

3. Yea, Lord, we greet thee,

Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be glory given!
Word of the Father,
Now in Plesh appearing!
(Chorus)
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

6. ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID CITY
1. Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.

2. He came down to earth from heaven,

Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall;
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Savior holy.

3. Not in that poor lowly stable,

With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him; but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high;
Where like stars His children crowned,
All in white shall wait around.

7. SILENT NIGHT
1. Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child.
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

2. Silent night, holy night,

Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from Heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour, is born,
Christ, the Saviour, is born!

3. Silent night, holy night

Wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born!*

8. GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
1. While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent Plocks by night,
Behold, throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light.
(Chorus)
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

2. The shepherds feared and trembled,

When lo! above the earth,
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed our Saviour’s birth.
(Chorus)
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

3. Down in a lowly manger

The humble Christ was born,
And God sent out salvation,
That blessed Christmas morn.
(Chorus)
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

9. JOY TO THE WORLD
1. Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

2. Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;

Let men their songs employ;
While Pields and Ploods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

3. He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love

10. WE THREE KINGS
1. We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
(Chorus)
O star of wonder, star of night*,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

2. Born a King on Bethlehem's plain

Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.
(Chorus)
O star of wonder, star of night*,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

3. Glorious now behold Him arise;

King and God and sacriPice;
Heaven sings, "Hallelujah!"
Hallelujah!" the Earth replies.
(Chorus)
O star of wonder, star of night*,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

11. DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH
1. Ding dong merrily on high,
In heav'n the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

2. E'en so here below, below,

Let steeple bells be swungen,
And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

3. Pray you, dutifully prime

Your matin chime, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

12. O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
1. O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee
lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent
stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting
Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in
thee tonight.

2. For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above,

While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch
of wondering love.
O morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King, and peace to
men on earth!

3. O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we

pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in, be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels the great glad
tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!

12
13. OH HOLY NIGHT
1. O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
'Til He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!

O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night divine, O night, O night Divine.

2. Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,

With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here come the wise men from Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.

He knows our need, to our weakness is no

stranger,
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, Before Him lowly bend!

3. Truly He taught us to love one another;

His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.

Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,

His power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
