O Come All Ye Faithful John Francis Wade wrote this beloved Christmas hymn, which was translated from Latin into English for the first time nearly a century later.
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
Lo, humble shepherd Hasting to his cradle Leaving their flocks in The fields draw near We, too, with gladness Thither bend our footsteps
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 O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above Glory to God All glory in the highest
O come let us adore him O come let us adore him O come let us adore him Christ the Lord

O Come O Come Emmanuel This hymn originated in Latin in the 9 th century and was recast to emphasize the mystical.
O Come, O come Emmanuel And with your captive children dwell Give comfort to all exiles here And to the aching heart bid cheer Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel shall come within as Love to dwell
O come, you splendor very bright As joy that never yields to might O come, and turn all hearts to peace That greed and war at last shall cease Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come within as Truth to dwell
O come, you Day-spring, come and cheer Our spirits by your presence here And dawn in every broken soul As vision that can see the whole Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come within as Light to dwell
O come, you Wisdom from on high From depths that hide within a sigh To temper knowledge with our care To render every act a prayer Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come within as Hope to dwell

We Three Kings of Orient Are This Epiphany carol, celebrating the recognition of Jesus significance just after his birth, was created in 1857 by American Episcopal priest John Henry Hopkins, Jr.
We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar Field and fountain, moor and mountain Following yonder star
O Star of wonder, star of night Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy Perfect Light
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain Gold I bring to crown Him again King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign
O Star of wonder, star of night Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy Perfect Light
Frankincense to offer have I Incense owns a Deity nigh Pray'r and praising, all men raising Worship Him, God most high
O Star of wonder, star of night Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy Perfect Light
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume Breathes of life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying Sealed in the stone-cold tomb
O Star of wonder, star of night Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy Perfect Light
Glorious now behold Him arise King and God and Sacrifice Alleluia, Alleluia Earth to heav'n replies
O Star of wonder, star of night Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy Perfect Light

Away in a Manger This 1885 hymn, possibly based on a poem in honor of the 400 th anniversary of Martin Luther s birth, appeared first in a Lutheran Sunday School collection called Little Children s Book for Schools and Families.
Away in a manger no crib for his bed The little Lord Jesus lay 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 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 cradle till 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
The Rev. Greg Ward Minister, Unitarian UniversalistChurch of the Monterey Peninsula
Silent Night When the organ in 19 th -century German choir director Franz Gruber s poverty-stricken church succumbed to mice, he wrote this hymn using words by Joseph Mohr, with guitar accompaniment.
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, All is calm, all is bright. Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar, Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia; Christ a Savior is born. Christ a Savior is born.
Silent night, holy night, Child of God, love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace. Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace Sleep in Heavenly Peace
