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!
God, of God,
Light of Light eternal,
lo, he abhors not the virgin’s womb;
Son of the Father,
begotten, not created;
Sing, choirs of angels,
sing in exultation,
sing, all ye citizens
of heaven above:
“Glory to God, all,
Glory in the highest!”
Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.
Born thy people to deliver,
born a child and yet a king,
born to reign in us forever,
now thy gracious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal Spirit
rule in all our hearts alone;
by thine all-sufficient merit
raise us to thy glorious throne.
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.
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 today:
We hear the Christmas angels
the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel.
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
Glo….ria, in excelsis Deo
Glo….ria, in excelsis Deo
Shepherds why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
which inspire your heav'nly song?
Come to Bethlehem and see
him whose birth the angels sing;
come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King.
On Christmas Night
On Christmas night all Christians sing
to hear the news the angels bring.
On Christmas night all Christians sing
to hear the news the angels bring:
news of great joy news of great mirth
news of our merciful Kings birth.
Then why should we on earth be so sad
since our Redeemer made us glad?
Then why should we on earth be so sad
Since our Redeemer made us glad,
when from our sin he set us free,
all for to gain our liberty
When sin departs before his face
then life and health come in its place.
When sin departs before his face
then life and health come in its place.
Angels rejoice with us and sing,
all for to see the new born 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!
Why lies he in such mean estate
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, 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 the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby;
joy, joy for Christ is born,
the babe, the son of Mary.
Come And Stand Amazed You People
Come and stand amazed, you people,
see how God is reconciled!
See his plans of love accomplished,
see his gift, this newborn child.
See the Mighty, weak and tender,
see the Word who now is mute.
See the Sovereign without splendor,
see the Fullness destitute;
the Beloved, whom we covet,
in a state of low repute.
See how humankind received him;
see Him wrapped in swaddling bands,
who as Lord of all creation
rules the wind by His commands.
See him lying in a manger
without sign of reasoning;
Word of God to flesh surrendered,
he is wisdom's crown, our King.
See how tender our Defender
at whose birth the angels sing.
O Lord Jesus, God incarnate,
who assumed this humble form,
counsel me and let my wishes
to your perfect will conform.
Light of life, dispel my darkness,
let your frailty strengthen me;
let your meekness give me boldness,
let your burden set me free;
let your sadness give me gladness,
let your death be life for me.
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,
heav'nly 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 face
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth!
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth!
