Angels We Have Heard on High
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
Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyful strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be, which inspire your heav'nly song?
Gloria in excelsis Deo, 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, Gloria in excelsis Deo

Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the new born 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 new born King
Christ, by highest heaven adored; Christ the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the favored one.
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see; hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus, our Immanuel
Hark the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new born King"
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace. Hail the son 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 five them second birth
Hark the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new born King"

On Christmas night all Christians sing to hear the news the angels bring
On Christmas night all Christians sing to hear the news the angels bring
News of great joy news of great mirth news of our merciful King’s birth
When sin departs before His grace then life and health come in its place
When sin departs before His grace then life and health come in its place
Angels and men with joy may sing All for to praise the newborn King
Angels and men with joy may sing All for to praise the newborn King
Then why should men on earth be sad since our Redeemer made us glad
Then why should men on earth be sad since our Redeemer made us glad
Then why should men on earth be sad since our Redeemer made us glad
Then why should men on earth be sad since our Redeemer made us glad
When from our sin He set us free, all for to gain our liberty
Glory to God and peace to men, now and forever more amen

Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella;
Bring a torch, come swiftly and run.
Christ is born, tell the folk of the village;
Jesus is sleeping in His cradle.
Ah, ah, beautiful is the Mother;
Ah, ah, beautiful is her Son.
Hasten now, good folk of the village;
Hasten now, the Christ-Child to see.
You will find Him asleep in the manger;
Quietly come and whisper softly,
Hush, hush, peacefully now He slumbers;
Hush, hush, peacefully now He sleeps.
Solo:
Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella;
Bring a torch, come swiftly and run.
Christ is born, the hope of all nations;
Jesus is here, God with us.
Ah, ah, praise his Holy name on high;
Ah, ah, praise his Holy name.
Ah, ah, beautiful is the Mother;
Ah, ah, beautiful is the Son.

In The Bleak Mid-winter

In The Bleak Midwinter
In the bleak midwinter, icy wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow on snow had fallen, snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter, long and long ago
Angels and archangels, may have gathered there.
Cherubim and seraphim rising in the air.
Oh but only Mary in her maiden bliss
Worshipped the beloved with a mother's kiss.
What then can I give Him, empty as I am
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man, I would know my part
What then can I give Him; I must give my heart
Heaven cannot hold Him, nor can earth sustain
Heaven and earth shall fall away when He comes to reign
What then can I give Him; I must give my heart

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 winters 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 good light;
And so it continued both day and night.
This star drew nigh to the North West,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
Then enter'd in there Wise Men three
Full rev'rently on bended knee,
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.

Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh,
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
I went out on the snow and on my back I fell
A gent was riding by in a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as I there lay but quickly drove away. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seemed his lot
We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

A Little Joy
Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, for the little baby boy
Gimme little joy for the little baby boy oh the boy in Bethlehem
Isaiah was foretold how the story would unfold
About the boy born in Bethlehem
Every word of it came true at the moment it was due
For the boy in Bethlehem
Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, for the little baby boy
Gimme little joy for the little baby boy oh the boy in Bethlehem
Angels said to Joe don’t you leave your lady so
There’s a boy in Bethlehem
The virgin bore a son, He’s the only righteous one
Oh the boy in Bethlehem
Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, for the little baby boy
Gimme little joy for the little baby boy oh the boy in Bethlehem
Sheppard’s in the night they were drawn to the light
Of the boy in Bethlehem
Brought him Frankincense and Myrrh because he is the only cure
Oh the boy in Bethlehem
Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, for the little baby boy
Gimme little joy for the little baby boy oh the boy in Bethlehem
Gonna save us from our sins is there room in the inn?
For the boy from Bethlehem
Let the world rejoice every man has the choice
For the boy in Bethlehem
Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, for the little baby boy
Gimme little joy for the little baby boy oh the boy in Bethlehem

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, 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; Christ the Savior is born.
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.

Lo How A Rose E’Er Blooming
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming,
As those of old have sung.
It came, a flower bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.
Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind;
With Mary we behold it,
The virgin mother kind.
To show God's love aright,
She bore to us a Savior,
When half spent was the night.
This Flower, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor
The darkness everywhere;
True Man, yet very God,
From sin and death He saves us,
And lightens every load.

Oh, Holy Night!
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees,
Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, divine, O night O night divine!
Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall 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! Then ever, ever praise we,Noel, Noel, O night, oh night divine!
Noel, Noel, O night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,Now come the wise men from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Noel, Noel, O night, oh night divine!
Behold, Behold your king, O night, O night divine!

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night
While shepherds watched Their flocks by night All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down And glory shone around, and glory shone around "Fear not," he said, For mighty dread Had seized their troubled minds "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind.” To you and all mankind
"All glory be to God on high And to the earth be peace; Goodwill henceforth From heaven to men Begin and never cease!" Begin and never cease
"To you in David's Town this day Is born of David's line the Savior who is Christ the Lord And this shall be the sign." And this shall be the sign."
"The heavenly Babe You there shall find To human view displayed
And meanly wrapped In swathing bands And in a manger laid." And in a manger laid."
"All glory be to God on high And to the earth be peace; Goodwill henceforth From heaven to men Begin and never cease!", Begin and never cease
Thus spake the seraph, And forthwith Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus Addressed their joyful song
"All glory be to God on high And to the earth be peace; Goodwill henceforth From heaven to men Begin and never cease!", Begin and never cease
