JOY TO THE WORLD
Joy to the world the Lord has come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heav’n and nature sing,
And heav’n and nature sing,
And heav’n, and heav’n
and nature sing.
Joy to the earth; the Savior 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.
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, and wonders of His love.

O LITTLE TOWN
OF BETHLEHEM
O 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.
O Holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in;
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.

DECK THE HALLS
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la la la la la
’Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
See the blazing Yule before us,
Strike the harp and join the chorus,
Follow me in merry measure,
While I tell of Yuletide treasure,
Fast away the old year passes,
Hail the new year, ye lad and lasses,
Sing we joyous all together,
Heedless of the wind and weather.
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!
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.

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 the angelic hosts 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 a virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail, the incarnate Deity,
Pleased as Man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
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 give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the new born King.

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 joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

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 laud,
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 to song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby;
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
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,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above;
Glory to God,
In the highest.

JINGLE BELLS
Dashing through the snow,
In a one-horse open sleigh.
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

I’ll be home for Christmas,

Where the love light gleams,

GOD REST
YOU MERRY,
GENTLEMEN
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas day,
To save us all from Satans 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 blessed 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.
LET IT SNOW
Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we’ve no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally kiss good night
How I hate going out in the storm
But if you’d really hold me tight,
All the way home I’d be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

AWAY IN A
MANGER
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus
laid 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 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 night.
Be near me, Lord Jesus;
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me for ever,
and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children
in Thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven
to live with Thee there.

THE FIRST NOEL
The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
infields as they lay;
In fields where they lay
keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night
that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star,
Shinning in the east,
beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued
both day and night.
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavn’ly Lord
That hath made heav’n
and earth of nought
And with his blood
mankind hath bought
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
WHITE CHRISTMAS
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.
