Community singing - we invite you to join in 1. The First Nowell The first Nowell the Angel did say Was to certain 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. Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, 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. Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, Born is the King of Israel. Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord; That hath made heaven and earth of nought, And with his blood mankind hath bought. Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, Born is the King of Israel. 2
1. ALL: KING: PAGE: KING: ALL: Good King Wenceslas Good King Wenceslas looked out, On the feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, Deep and crisp and even: Brightly shone the moon that night, Though the frost was cruel, When a poor man came in sight, Gath ring winter fuel. Hither page and stand by me, If thou know st it, telling, Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling? Sire, he lives a good league hence Underneath the mountain, Right against the forest fence, By Saint Agnes fountain. Bring me flesh and bring me wine, Bring me pine logs hither: Thou and I will see him dine, When we bear him thither. Page and monarch, forth they went, Forth they went together: Through the rude wind s wild lament And the bitter weather. 4. PAGE: Sire, the night is darker now, And the wind blows stronger; Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer. KING: Mark my footsteps, my good page; Tread thou in them boldly: Thou shalt find the winter s rage Freeze thy blood less coldly. 5. ALL: In his master s steps he trod, Where the snow lay dinted; Heat was in the very sod Which the Saint had printed. Therefore, Christian men, be sure, Wealth or rank possessing, Ye who now will bless the poor, Shall yourselves find blessing. 3
1. 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. Joy to the earth, the Saviour 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. 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. 1. Angels We Have Heard On High Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heavenly song? Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King. 4
1. O Come, All Ye Faithful 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, Christ the Lord. Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation, Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above; Glory to God In the highest; O Come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord. Yea, Lord, we greet thee, Born this happy morning; Jesus, to thee be glory given; Word of the Father, Now in flesh appearing; O Come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord. 1. Silent Night 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! Shepherds quake at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia: Christ the Saviour is born, Christ the Saviour is born. Silent night, Holy night! Son of God, love s pure light; Radiance beams from thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace; Jesus, Lord at thy birth, Jesus, Lord at thy birth. 5

Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail, the Son of Righteousness!

Jingle Bells 1. Dashing thro the snow, 1. In a one horse open sleigh, O er the hills we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob tail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight. Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way; Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way; Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. Now the ground is white, Go it while you re young, Take the girls to-night And sing this sleighing song; Just get a bob tailed bay Two forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack, you ll take the lead. Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way; Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way; Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. 4.
