Hark! The Herald Angles 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 th’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 th’incarnate Deity,

Pleased with us in flesh to dwell,Jesus our Emmanuel.

Hark! the herald angels sing,“Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail the heav’nly Prince of Peace!Hail the Sun 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!”

It Came Upon a Midnight ClearIt came upon the midnight clear,

That glorious song of old,From angels bending near the earth,

To touch their harps of gold;

“Peace on the earth, good will to men,From Heaven’s all gracious King.”The world in solemn stillness lay,

To hear the angels sing.

Yet with the woes of sin and strife, The world hath suffered long;

Beneath the angel-strain have rolled, Two thousand years of wrong;

And man, at war with man, hears not, The love song which they bring:

O hush the noise, ye men of strife, And hear the angels sing.

For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold,

When, with the ever-circling years, Shall come the Age of Gold;

When peace shall over all the earth, Its ancient splendors fling,

And all the world give back the song, Which now the angels sing.

Joy to the WorldJoy 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.

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plainsRepeat the sounding joy,Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessing flow far as the curse is found, 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 of His love,

And wonders, wonders, of His love.

O 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, O hear the angel voices!O night divine, O night when Christ was born!

O night, O holy night, O night divine!

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 came the wise men from far away land.The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,

In all our trials born to be our Friend!

He knows our needto our weakness is no stranger.

O night divine, O night when Christ was born!O night, O holy night, O night divine!

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 brotherAnd 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!O night divine, O night when Christ was born!

O night, O holy night, O night divine!

O night divine!

O night….O night divine!

Oh Little Town of BethlehemO 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 to-night.

How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given!

So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heaven.

No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin,

Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray;

Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us to-day.

We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell;

O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel!

Silent NightSilent 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 faceWith the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

 

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 praise, The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christians, fear, for sinners here The silent Word is pleading.

Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, The cross be borne for me, for you.

Hail, hail the Word made flesh, 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.

Raise, raise a song on high, The virgin sings her lullaby. Joy, joy for Christ is born,

The Babe, the Son of Mary.

This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;

Haste, haste, to bring Him praise, The Babe, the Son of Mary…The Babe, the Son of Mary…The Babe, the Son of Mary.
