7 (4) 1. 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 host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem. Hark! the herald-angels sing Glory in the new-born King. 2. 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 Diety! Pleased as Man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel, Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the new born King. 3. Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace! Hail, the Sun of righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healings 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.

9 (6) 1. While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. 2. Fear not said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind; Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind. 3. To you, in David s town this day is born of David s line; A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord; And this shall be the sign 4. The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid.

11 (8) JOY TO THE WORLD Isaac Watts Music: Handel 1. Joy to the world! the Lord is come; Let earth receive her King; Let ev ry heart, pre-pare Him room And heav n and na-ture Sing, And heav n and na-ture Sing, And heav n and heav n and na-ture sing. 2. Joy to the earth! the Sa-viour reigns; Let men their songs, employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Re-peat the sounding joy, Re-peat the sounding joy, Re-peat, Re-peat the sounding joy. 3. He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the na-tions prove The glo-ries of... His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And won-ders, won-ders of His love.

13 (10) ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY 1. Angels from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o er all the earth; Ye who sang cre-a-tion s sto-ry, Now pro-claim Mes-si-ah s birth: Ch: Come and wor-ship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King! 2. Shepherds, in the fields a-bid-ing, Watch-ing o er your flocks by night, God with man is now re-sid-ing, Yonder shines the in-fant Light: (Come and wor-ship..) 3. Sag-es, leave your con-tem-pla-tions, Bright-er vi-sions beam a-far; Seek the great de-sire of na-tions, Ye have seen His na-tal star: (come and wor-ship...)

15 (12) THE FIRST NOEL: THE ANGEL DID SAY 1. The first No-el the an-gel did say, Was to cer-tain 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. Ch: No-el,No-el, No-el, No-el Born is the King of Is-ra-el 2. They look-ed 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. No-el 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 wher-ever it went. No-el Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord Who hath made heaven and earth of naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought. No-el...

17 (14) AWAY IN A MANGER 1. A-way in a man-ger, 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 li-ttle Lord Je-sus a-sleep on the hay 2. The cat-tle are low-ing the Ba-by a-wakes, But lit-tle Lord Je-sus, no cry-ing He makes; I love, Thee, Lord Jesus look down from the sky, And stay by my cra-dle till morn-ing is nigh 3. Be near me, Lord Je-sus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me for-ev-er and love me, I pray; Bless all the dear children in Thy ten-der care, And fit us for heav-en, to live with Thee there.a men

19 (16) 1. It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold: Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, From heaven s all-gracious King: The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing. 2. 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. 3. 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!

21 (18) 1. O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie! A-bove thy deep and dream less sleep The si-lent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shin-eth The ev-er-last-ing Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to-night 2. For Christ in born of Ma-ry; And gath-ered all a-bove, While mor-tals sleep, the an-gels keep Their watch of wondering love O morning stars to-geth-er Proclaim the ho-ly birth, And prais-es sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. 3. How si-lent-ly how si-lent-ly, The won-drous Gift is given! So God imparts to hum-an hearts The bless-ings of His heaven No ear may hear His com-ing But in this world of sin Where meek souts will re-ceive Him still, The dear Christ en-ters in. 4. O ho-ly Child of Beth-le-hem, De-scend to us we pray; Cast out our sin and en-ter in, Be born in us to-day We hear the Christmas an-gels The great glad tid-ings tell, O come to us a-bide with us, Our Lord Em-man-u-el. A-men.
