O Come All Ye Faithful

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

O come, let us adore Him

Christ the Lord

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation

Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above

Glory to God, glory in the highest

O come, let us adore Him

Christ the Lord

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning

Jesus, to Thee be glory given

Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing

O come, let us adore Him

Christ the Lord

Hark The Herald Angels Sing

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 angelic host proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Christ, by highest heav’n adored

Christ, the everlasting Lord!

Late in time behold Him come

Offspring of a virgin’s womb

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see

Hail the incarnate Deity

Pleased as man with man to dwell

Jesus, our Emmanuel

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace

Hail the Son of Righteousness

Light and life to all He brings

Ris’n 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

The First Noel

The first Noel the angel did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winter’s night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

They looked up and saw a star

Shining in the east beyond them far

And to the earth it gave great light

And so it continued both day and night

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

This 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

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Mary's Boy Child

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say

Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas day

Hark now hear the angels sing, a new king born today

And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas day

Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say

That man will live forevermore, because of Christmas day

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,

they see a bright new shining star

They hear a choir sing, the music seemed to come from afar

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night

They found no place to bear the child, not a single room was in sight

Hark now hear the angels sing, a new king born today

And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas day

Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say

That Man will live forevermore, because of Christmas day

By and by they find a little nook in a stable all forlorn

And in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little boy child was born

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say

Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas day

Hark now hear the angels sing, a new king born today

And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas day

Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say

That man will live forevermore, because of Christmas day

Oh, My Lord

For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter
People shouted, "let everyone know,

There is hope for all to find peace"

Oh my Lord, you sent your son to save us
Oh my Lord, your very self you gave us
Oh my Lord, that sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more

Oh my Lord, when in the crib they found him
Oh my Lord, a golden halo crowned him
Oh my Lord, they gathered all around him
To see him and adore (They say He'll live forever)

Oh my Lord, (So praise the lord) they had become to doubt you
Oh my Lord, (He is the truth forever) what did they know about you?
Oh my Lord, (So praise the lord) but they were lost without you
They needed you so bad (His light is shining on us)

Oh my lord, (So praise the lord) with the child's adoration
Oh my Lord, (He is the truth forever) there came great jubilation
Oh my Lord, (So praise the lord) and full of admiration
They realized what they had (Until the sun falls from the sky)

Oh my Lord, (Oh praise the lord) you sent your son to save us
Oh my Lord, (This day will live forever) your very self you gave us
Oh my Lord, (So praise the lord) that sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more

What Child is This

What Child is this, who, laid to rest,

On Mary's lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,

While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ, the King,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Why lies He in such mean estate,

Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, fear: for sinners here

The silent Word is pleading.

This, this is Christ, the King,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,

Come, peasant, king to own Him.

The King of kings salvation brings;

Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

This, this is Christ, the King,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Come and Behold

The time is now
To praise the Lord
Give thanks with Joy
For mighty things He’s done

Let us all rejoice before the Lord
Join the angels singing out His praise
To the king of kings, the one who reigns
Testify great things we’ve seen today

The time is now
To praise the Lord
Give thanks with Joy
For mighty things He’s done

Come before the Lord of Hosts
Come before the Lord
Come and see what the Lord has done
Come and behold

The time is now
To praise the Lord
Give thanks with Joy
For mighty things He’s done

Come and behold
Come and behold Him
Come and behold
Come and behold Him

Behold the king
Behold the king
Behold the king
Behold the king
Behold the king

Silent Night

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

Silent night, holy night

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia

Christ the Savior is born

Silent night, holy night

Son of God love’s pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

Angels We Have Heard on High

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o’er the plain

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strain

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

Say what may the tidings be

Which inspire your heav’nly song?

Gloria in excelsis Deo

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

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

God rest ye merry, gentlemen; let nothing you dismay

Remember Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas day

To save us all from Satan’s pow’r when we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in Israel, this blessed Babe was born

And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn

To which His Mother Mary did nothing take in scorn

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heav’nly Father a blessed angel came

And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same

How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place

And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace

This holy tide of Christmas doth bring redeeming grace

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

Away in a Manger

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

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes

But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky

And stay by my cradle ’til morning is nigh

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 fit us for heaven to live with Thee there

Joy to the World

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 heaven, and nature sing

Joy to the world! The Saviour reigns

Let men their songs employ

While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

No more let sins and sorrow grow

Nor thorns infest the ground

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found

Far as, far as, the curse is found

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, wonders, of His love

Joy to the world! The Lord is come

Let earth receive her King
