Carols & Lyrics
Angels We Have Heard on High
Away in a Manger
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
Go Tell It on the Mountain
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Joy to the World
O Come, All Ye Faithful
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
O Holy Night
O Little Town of Bethlehem
Silent Night
The First Noel
What Child is This
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
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Glo————————-ria
In excelsis Deo (repeat)
In excelsis Deo (repeat)
Verse 2:
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song?

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 sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the 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 cradle ’til morning is nigh
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love Thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle ’til morning is nigh
Be near me Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

To save us all from Satan’s pow’r

O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy!
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
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
Now to the Lord sing praises
all you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
all other doth deface
all you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
all other doth deface
Go Tell It on the Mountain
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherds kept their watching o’er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens there shone a Holy Light.
Behold throughout the heavens there shone a Holy Light.
The shepherds feared and trembled when lo! Above the earth,
Rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Saviour’s birth.
Rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Saviour’s birth.
Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born
And brought us God’s salvation that blessed Christmas morn!
And brought us God’s salvation that blessed Christmas morn!

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the Earth
To touch their harps of gold
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
From heaven’s all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
Still thro’ the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O’er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
And ever o’er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O’er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
And ever o’er its Babel sounds
The blessed 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 hours
Come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing
Whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing
For lo the days are hastening on
By prophet bards foretold
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing
By prophet bards foretold
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has 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
The world has 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
Joy to the World
Joy to the world the Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing

And heaven heaven and nature sing
Let earth receive her King
Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world the Saviour reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy

With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise men from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our Friend

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming

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
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
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep
The angels keep their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth

While mortals sleep
The angels keep their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth
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

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

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep

Born is the King of Israel
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 great light
And so it continued both day and night
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O’er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
O’er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
Then entered in those wise men three
Full rev’rently upon the knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
