While shepherds watched their flocks by night

Verse 1

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around


Verse 2

To you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
A Saviour who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign


Verse 3

The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in
swaddling-clothes
And in a manger laid


Verse 4

All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace
Good will henceforth from
Heaven to men
Begin and never cease



The First Noel

Verse 1

The First Noel the Angels 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


Chorus

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel


Verse 2

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


Verse 3

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and
earth of nought
And with his blood mankind
has bought



Away in a Manger

Verse 1

Away in a manger no crib
for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down
His sweet head
The stars in the bright skies look
down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep
on the hay


Verse 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 sky
And stay by my side until
morning is nigh


Verse 3

Be near me Lord Jesus
I ask you to stay
Close by me forever and
love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
in your tender care
And fit us for heaven
to live with thee there



Silent Night

Verse 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


Verse 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


Verse 3

Silent night holy night
Son of God love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at Thy birth
Jesus Lord at Thy birth



We Three Kings

Verse 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


Verse 2

Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever ceasing never
Over us all to reign


Verse 3

Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising all men raising
Worship Him God most high


Verse 4

Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and sacrifice
Alleluia Alleluia
Earth to heav’n replies



Jingle Bells

Verse 1

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tail ring
Making spirits rise
What fun it is to ride and sign
A sleighing song tonight, oh


Chorus

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way


Verse 2

Second verse, same as the first...




Angels we have heard on high

Verse 1

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains


Chorus

Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria in Excelsis Deo


Verse 2

Shepherds why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song


Verse 2

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ our Lord, the new born King




Mary's Boy Child

Verse 1

Long time ago in Bethlehem

So the Holy Bible say

Mary’s Boy Child, Jesus Christ

Was born on Christmas Day!


Verse 2
While shepherds watched their flocks by night

They saw a bright new shining star

And heard a choir from heaven sing

The music came from afar


Chorus

Hark! Now hear the angels sing:

“New King’s born today

And man will live for evermore

Because of Christmas Day!”


Verse 3

Now Joseph and his wife Mary

Came to Bethlehem that night.

They found no place to bear her Child,

Not a single room was in sight.


Verse 4

By and by they found a little nook

In a stable all forlorn.

And in a manger cold and dark

Mary’s little Boy/Child was born


Chorus

Hark! Now hear the angels sing:

“New King’s born today

And man will live for evermore

Because of Christmas Day!”


Trumpets sound and angels sing,

Listen to what they say!

That man will live forevermore

Because of Christmas Day!



Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Verse 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


Chorus

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King


Verse 2

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


Verse 3

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




Joy to the World

Verse 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


Verse 2

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 the sounding joy
Repeat repeat the sounding joy


Verse 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
