Joy to the World

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
let ev’ry 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 world, 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.

No more let sins and sorrows grow
nor thorns infest the ground;
he comes to make his blessings flow
far as the curse is found,
far as the curse is found,
far as, far as the curse is found.

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, wonders of his love.

Hark! 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 angelic host proclaim
“Christ is born in Bethlehem”
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the new-born king”

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun 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

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.
For Jesus 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 Heav’nly 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!

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 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.

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.

The First Noël

The first Noël, the angels did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay.
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël,
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.
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël,
born is the King of Israel.

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.

Refrain:
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 heav’n above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest: [Refrain]

Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be all glory giv’n!
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing: [Refrain]

O Holy Night

O Holy night the stars are brightly shining,
it is the night of our dear Savior’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
’til He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices!
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 brother,
And 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, oh praise His name forever!
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim!
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim!

The Friendly Beasts

Jesus, our brother, strong and good,
Was humbly born in a stable rude,
And the friendly beasts around him stood;
Jesus, our brother, strong and good.

“I,” said the donkey, shaggy and brown,
“I carried his mother uphill and down;
“I carried her safely to Bethlehem town.
“I,” said the donkey, shaggy and brown.

“I,” said the cow, all white and red,
“I gave him my manger for his bed,
“I gave him my hay to pillow his head.
“I,” said the, cow all white and red.

“I,” said the sheep with curly horn,
“I gave him my wool for his blanket warm;
“he wore my coat on Christmas morn.
“I,” said the sheep with curly horn.

“I,” said the dove from the rafters high,
“I cooed him to sleep so he would not cry;
“we cooed him to sleep, my mate and I.
I,” said the dove from the rafters high.

And every beast, by some good spell,
In the stable dark was glad to tell
Of the gift he gave Emmanuel;
The gift he gave Emmanuel.

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!
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.

O Come, O Come, Immanuel

O come, O come, Em­ma­nu­el,
And ran­som cap­tive Is­ra­el,
That mourns in lone­ly ex­ile here
Until the Son of God ap­pear. Refrain.

Refrain:

Rejoice! Re­joice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Is­ra­el.

O come, Thou Wis­dom from on high,
Who or­der­est all things migh­ti­ly;
To us the path of know­ledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go. Refrain.

O come, Thou Rod of Jes­se, free
Thine own from Sa­tan’s tyr­an­ny;
From depths of hell Thy peo­ple save,
And give them vic­to­ry ov­er the grave. Refrain.

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. Refrain.

And op­en wide our heav­en­ly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to mi­se­ry. Refrain.

Who to Thy tribes on Si­nai’s height
In an­cient times once gave the law
In cloud and ma­jes­ty and awe. Refrain.

O come, Thou Root of Jes­se’s tree,
An en­sign of Thy peo­ple be;
Before Thee rul­ers si­lent fall;
All peo­ples on Thy mer­cy call. Refrain.

O come, De­sire of na­tions, bind
In one the hearts of all man­kind;
Bid Thou our sad di­vi­sions cease,
And be Thy­self our king of Peace. Refrain.

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh.
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight! Oh!

Chorus:
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!

A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride,
And soon Miss Fannie Bright was sitting my side.
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot.
He got into a drifted bank and we, we got upshot! Oh!

Now the ground is white, go it while you’re young.
Take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song.
Just get a bobtail bay, two-forty for his speed.
Then hitch him to an open sleigh and crack, you’ll take the lead! Oh!

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas!
We wish you a merry Christmas!
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin!
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
