O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

1. O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleepThe silent stars go by; Yet in the dark street shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the yearsAre met in thee tonight.

2. For Christ is born of Mary, And fathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keepTheir watch of wondering love.O morning stars, togetherProclaim the holy birthAnd praises sing to God, the King,

Silent night, holy nightAll is calm, all is brightRound yon Virgin Mother and ChildHoly Infant so tender and mildSleep in heavenly peaceSleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy nightSon of God, love's pure lightRadiant beams from Thy holy faceWith the dawn of redeeming graceJesus, Lord at Thy birthJesus, Lord at Thy birthJesus, Lord at Thy birth

Verse 1]The first Noel the angels did sayWas to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay:In fields where they lay keeping their sheepOn a cold winter's night that was so deep.

[Chorus]Noel, Noel, Noel, NoelBorn is the King of Israel.

[Verse 2]They looked up and saw a starShining in the east beyond them far:And to the earth it gave great lightAnd so it continued both day and night

AWAY IN A MANGER

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,The little Lord Jesus lay 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 awakesBut little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky.And stay by my side till morning is nigh.

Sweet bells they ring, they ring out the news today,That Christ was born, was born on Christmas day,Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stayClose by me for ever and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in Thy tender careAnd take us to Heaven to live with Thee there.

WE THREE KINGS

We three kings of Orient areBearing gifts we traverse afar.Field and fountain, moor and mountain,Following yonder star.

O star of wonder, star of night,Star with royal beauty bright,Westward leading, still proceeding,Guide us to thy perfect Light.

Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,Gold I bring to crown Him again,King forever, ceasing neverOver us all to reign.


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


Myrrh is mine: it's bitter perfumeBreaths a life of gathering gloom.Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying,Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.


Glorious now behold Him arise,

King and God and Sacrifice.Alleluia, alleluia!Sounds through the earth and skies.

O star of wonder, star of night,Star with royal beauty bright,Westward leading, still proceeding,Guide us to thy perfect Light

JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the world! The Lord is comeLet earth receive her King!Let every heart prepare Him room

And heaven and nature singAnd heaven and nature singAnd heaven, and heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world! the Savior reignsLet men their songs employWhile fields and floodsRocks, hills and plainsRepeat the sounding joyRepeat the sounding joyRepeat, repeat the sounding joy

No more let sins and sorrows growNor thorns infest the groundHe comes to makeHis blessings flowFar as the curse is foundFar as the curse is foundFar as, far as the curse is found

He rules the world with truth and graceAnd makes the nations proveThe glories of His righteousnessAnd wonders of His loveAnd wonders of His loveAnd wonders and wonders of His love
