God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen 

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay,

Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day;

To save us all from Satan’s power when we were gone astray.

 

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy;O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God our heavenly Father a blessèd 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.

Oh…..star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to that perfect light.

Born a king on Bethlehem's plain; Gold they bring to crown Him again;

King forever, ceasing never, Over us all He'll reign.

Oh…..star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to that perfect light.

Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and sacrifice,

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Worship Him, God Most High.

Oh…..star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to that perfect light.

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,To hear the angels sing!

And ye, beneath life’s crushing load,Whose forms are bending low,Who toil along the climbing way

With painful steps and slow,

Look now! for glad and golden hoursCome swiftly on the wing.

O rest beside the weary road,And hear the angels sing…And hear the angels sing!

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

When with the ever circling yearsShall come the time foretold;

When the new heaven and earth shall hold

The Prince of Peace their kingAnd the whole world give back the song

Which now the angels sing…Which now the angels sing!

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,O come, let us adore Him,O come, let us adore Him,

Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!

Glory to God, all glory in the highest;

O come, let us adore Him,O come, let us adore Him,O come, let us adore Him,

Christ the Lord.

O comeO comeO come

O come let us…O come let us…

O come let us adore Him!Christ, my Lord!

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.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel

O come, O come, Emmanuel,And ransom captive Israel,

That mourns in lonely exile hereUntil the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice!Emmanuel

O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer

Our spirits by Thine advent here;Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,

And death’s dark shadows put to flight.

Rejoice! Rejoice!Emmanuel

O come, Thou Key of David, come,And open wide our heavenly home;

Make safe the way that leads on high,And close the path to misery.

Bid Thou our sad divisions cease,And be Thyself our King of Peace.

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!

O 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 tonight.

How silently, how silently, the wondrous Gift is giv’n;So God imparts to human hearts

the blessings of His Heav’n.No ear may hear His coming,

but in this world of sin,Where meek souls will receive Him still,

the dear Christ enters in.
