Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem. Christ, by highest heav n adored: Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the favored one. Veil d in fl esh, the Godhead see; Hail, th incarnate Deity: Pleased, as man, with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel! Hail! the heav n born Prince of peace! Hail! the Son 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. Ding Dong Merrily on High Ding dong merrily on high, In heav n the bells are ringing: Ding dong! verily the sky Is riv n with angel singing E en so here below, below, Let steeple bells be swungen, And Io, io, io! By priest and people sungen Pray you, dutifully prime Your matin chime, ye ringers, May you beautifully rhyme Your eve time song, ye singers Hosanna in excelsis!
Away in a Manger Away in a manger No crib for His bed The little Lord Jesus Lay down His sweet head The stars in the bright sky Look down where He lay The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay The cattle are lowing The poor Baby wakes But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes I love Thee, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky And stay by my side 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 take us to Heaven To live with Thee there Silent 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 Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia, Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born Son of God love s pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face With dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus Lord, at Thy birth, Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
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 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 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 to us today We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell O come to us, abide with us Our Lord Emmanuel O come to us, abide with us Our Lord Emmanuel
