THE FIRST NOEL The first Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In field where they lay keeping 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 Noel Noel Noel Noel Born is the King of Israel 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 wherever it went Noel Noel Noel Noel Born is the King of Israel VERSE 4 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord That hath made heav n and earth of naught And with His blood mankind hath bought Noel Noel Noel Noel Born is the King of Israel The First Noel CCLI Song # 31047 Public Domain CCLI Licence # 88980 5
AWAY IN A MANGER Away in a manger no crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay 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 cattle are lowing the baby awakes But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes I love the Lord Jesus look down from the sky And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh 6 Away in A Manger CCLI Song # 38583 James Ramsey Murray John Thomas McFarland Martin Luther Public Domain CCLI Licence # 88980

O HOLY NIGHT O holy night, the stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Saviour s birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till He appeared and the soul felt it s 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 s voices O night divine O night when Christ was born O night, Divine, O night, O night Divine Led by the light of faith serenely beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming Here came the wise men from Orient land The King of Kings, lay thus in lowly manger In all our trials born to be our friend He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger Behold, your king Before Him lowly bend Behold, your king before Him lowly bend 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, O praise His name forever His power and glory ever more proclaim His power and glory ever more proclaim 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.

ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID S CITY Once in royal David s city Stood a lowly cattle shed Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for His bed Mary was that mother mild Jesus Christ her little child. He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all And His shelter was a stable And His cradle was a stall With the poor and meek and lowly Lived on earth our Saviour holy. Jesus is our childhood s pattern Day by day like us He grew He was little weak and helpless Tears and smiles like us He knew And He feels for all our sadness And He shares in all our gladness. VERSE 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him Through His own redeeming love For that child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above And He leads His children on To the place where He has gone. 10 Once in Royal David s City CCLI Song # 197156 Cecil Frances Humphreys Alexander Henry John Gauntlett Public Domain CCLI Licence # 88980
MARY S BOY CHILD Long time ago in Bethlehem So the Holy Bible say Mary s boy child, Jesus Christ Was born on Christmas Day. Chorus Hark now hear the angels sing A king was born today And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas Day. While shepherds watched their flock by night, They saw a bright new shining star they hear a choir sing a song The music seemed to come from afar. CHORUS Hark, now hear the angels sing, A king was born today, And man will live for evermore, Because of Christmas Day. Joseph and his wife, Mary, Came to Bethlehem that night, They found no place to bear her child, Not a single room was in sight. Chorus Hark now hear the angels sing, A king was born today, And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas Day VERSE 4 By and by they find a nook In a stable all forlorn, And in a manger cold and dark, Mary s little boy was born. Chorus Hark, now hear the angels sing, A king was born today, And man will live for evermore, Because of Christmas Day. Mary s Boy Child Public Domain 11
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. VERSE 4 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. 12
JOY TO THE WORLD Joy to the world the Lord is come Let earth receive her King Let every heart prepare Him room And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven and heaven and nature sing 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. Joy to the earth the Saviour reigns Let men their songs employ While field and floods Rocks hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat repeat the sounding joy.
