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 all 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

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.

- 

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 is gone.

Away in a manger,

no crib for a bed,

the little Lord Jesus

laid down His sweet head;

the stars in the heavens

looked down where He lay,

the little Lord Jesus

asleep on the hay.

-

The cattle are lowing,

the Baby awakes,

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 fit us for heaven,

to live with Thee there.

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,

heav'nly 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!

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 for ever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

-

Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, voices raising
Worshipping God on high

- 

Myrrh is mine, it's bitter perfume

Breathes a life of gathering gloom

Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying

Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

-

Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, alleluia
Sound through the earth and skies

O little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in the 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 in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels,

the great glad tidings tell;

O come to us, abide with us,

our Lord Emmanuel!

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 soul 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!

-

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! and ever we will praise thee

His power and glory ever more proclaim!

His power and glory ever more proclaim!

-

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!

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;

Snow had fallen, snow on snow,

snow on snow,

In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

-

Our god, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;

Heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.

In the bleak midwinter

a stable place sufficed

The Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.

-

Angels and archangels may have gathered there,

Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air

But his mother only, in her maiden bliss,

Worshiped the beloved with a kiss.

-

What can I give him, poor as I am?

If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;

If I were a wise man, I would do my part;

Yet what I can I give him: give my heart.

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 th'angelic hosts 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 the Virgin's womb:

veiled in flesh the Godhead see;

hail th'incarnate Deity,

pleased with us in flesh to dwell,

Jesus, our Immanuel.

Hark! the herald angels sing,

"Glory to the newborn King"

-

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

Light and life to all he brings,

risen with healing in his wings.

Mild he lays his glory by,

born that we no more may die,

born to raise us from the earth,

born to give us second birth.

Hark! the herald angels sing,

"Glory to the newborn King"
