1.O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

Lyrics:Latin Hymm
Music:Plainsong Melody
Arranger:Thomas Helmore

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

* Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O Come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy shades of night
And pierce the clouds and bring us light


2.It Came Upon The Midnight Clear

Lyrics:Edmund H.Sears
Music:Richard S.Willis

It came upon the midnight clear
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold.

Still through the cloven skies they came
With peaceful wings unfurled.
(You can hear the angels)
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world.

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.

* Sing Gloria!
I can hear the angels singing
Oh! Sing Gloria!

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.

Joy To The World
Lyrics:Isaax Watts

Angels We Have Heard On High
Written:Tina English

Gloria… In excelsis Deo
Gloria!
Joy to the world! The Lord is 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 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
Gloria!

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
Sing Gloria! Sing Gloria!

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!

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King.

Gloriaa, sing Gloria!
Joy to the world
Sing Gloria
Gloria!


4.The First Noel

Lyrics:Tdaditional
Music:Tdaditional

Noel, Noel
The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keep 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
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.

So let us all with accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of naught
And with His blood mankind hath bought.

7.Away In a Manger

Lyrics:1St Verse:N 2Ndverse:John Thomas Mcforlan
Music:Ames R.Murray/William Jk.Kirkpatrick

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

Near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close bye 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.

And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there.
Away in a manger

O Come All Ye Faithful
Lyrics:Latin Hymm Music:John Francis Wade

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 hope and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight.

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
Our Lord, Emmanuel!
Emmanuel!

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, abode with us
Our Lord, Emmanuel.


9.Go Tell It on the Mountain

Lyrics:Traditional
Music:Traditional

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Say that Jesus Christ is born.

Once I was a seeker
And I sought both night and day
I asked the Lord to help me
And He showed me the way.

He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall
And though I am a Christian
I am the least of all


10.O Holy Night

Lyrics:John S.Dwight
Music:Adolphe Adam

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 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 divine
O 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 power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
