2. Hark The Herald Angels Sing

Hark the herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled”
Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies,
With angelic host proclaim:
“Christ is born in Bethlehem”,
Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”

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 Deity,
Pleased as man with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel,
Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail the heaven 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,
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!”

Glory to the King!
Glory to the King!
Glory to the King!

3. Mary's Boy Child

Long time ago in Bethlehem,
So the Holy Bible says
Mary’s Boy Child, Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas Day

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
They heard a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar

Hark, now hear the angels sing,
“A New King’s born today
And man will live forevermore,
Because of Christmas Day”
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore,
Because of Christmas Day

Now 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

Hark, now hear the angels sing,
“A New King’s born today
And man will live forevermore,
Because of Christmas Day”
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore,
Because of Christmas Day

By and by they found a little nook,
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary’s little Boy Child was born

Hark, now hear the angels sing,
“A New King’s born today
And man will live forevermore,
Because of Christmas Day”
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore,
Because of Christmas Day

That man will live forevermore,
Because of Christmas Day

4. Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
(Do you see what I see?)
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see?
(Do you see what I see?)

A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite;
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
(Do you hear what I hear?)
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
(Do you hear what I hear?)

A song, a song, high above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea;
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
(Do you know what I know?)
In your palace walls mighty king
Do you know what I know?
(Do you know what I know?)

A child, a child, shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold;
Let us bring Him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
(Listen to what I say)
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
(Listen to what I say)

The child, the child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light;
He will bring us goodness and light
Do you hear what I hear? (x4)

5. Away In A Manger

Away in a manger
no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
laid down his sweet head
The stars in the bright 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
'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 fit us for heaven,
to live with Thee there.

And fit us for heaven,
to live with Thee there.

6. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say:
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you’ll go down in history!

7. White Christmas

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling “Yoo Hoo”

For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up let’s go
Let’s look at the show
We’re riding in a wonderland of snow

Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up it’s grand

Of a wintery fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cosy are we

And sing a chorus or two

9. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow hang a shining star
upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

10. 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 giv’n
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of His heav’n

No ear may hear His coming
but in this world of sin
when 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 in us today

We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

11. Go Tell It On The Mountain

Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.

Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

Down in a lowly manger,
The humble Christ was born.
And brought us God's salvation
That blessed Christmas morn.

Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
(Repeat)

That Jesus Christ is born.
That Jesus Christ is born.

12. Grown Up Christmas List

Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well I’m all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I’m not a child but my heart still can dream

So here’s my lifelong wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for myself but for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, no
This is my grown up Christmas list

As children we believe
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely wrapped beneath the tree
But Heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, no
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown up Christmas list

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, no
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown up Christmas list

a sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

14. O Holy Night!

O holy night,
the stars are brightly shining
It is the night
of the dear Saviour’s birth.

Long lay the world
in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared
and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks
a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees,
O hear the angel 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

O’er the world
a star sweetly gleaming,
Now comes the wise men
from the Orient land.

The King of Kings
lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born
to be our friend.

He knows our need,
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
evermore proclaim.
His power and glory
evermore proclaim.

15. O Come O Come Emmanuel

O come O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel

O come Thou Dayspring come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadow put to flight

Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel

O come Thou Key of David come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery

Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel

16. Welcome To Our World

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child
Welcome Holy Child

Hope that you don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But long-awaited Holy Stranger
Make yourself at home
Please make yourself at home

Bring your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
Word now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world

Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born

So wrap our injured flesh around You
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son of God
Welcome to our world

17. The First Noel

The first Noel 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.

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

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel

This Star drew nigh to the North West;
O’er Bethlehem it took its rest.
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel

Noel, noel, noel, noel

Born is the King…
Born is the King…
Born is the King of Israel.

18. 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
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
