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
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
Not in that poor lowly stable with the oxen standing by We shall see Him, but in heaven set at God’s right hand on high When like stars His children crowned All in white shall be around
17 Angels from the Realms of Glory Angels from the realms of glory, wing your flight o’er all the earth; Ye who sang creation’s story, now proclaim Messiah’s birth
Gloria………………… In Excelsis Deo Gloria………………… In Excelsis Deo
Shepherds, in the field abiding, watching o’er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing; yonder shines the infant light
Gloria………………… In Excelsis Deo Gloria………………… In Excelsis Deo
Though an Infant now we view Him He shall fill His Father’s throne Gather all the nations to Him Every knee shall then bow down
Gloria………………… In Excelsis Deo Gloria………………… In Excelsis Deo
All creation, join in praising God, the Father, Spirit, Son Evermore your voices raising To th’eternal Three in One
Gloria………………… In Excelsis Deo Gloria………………… In Excelsis Deo

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey Jingle bells, jingle bells jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride And soon Miss Fanny Bright, was seated by my side The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot We got into a drifted bank and then we got upshot
18 Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey Jingle bells, jingle bells jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go laughing all the way Bells on bob tails ring making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight

The First Noel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel The First Noel, the Angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where 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
And let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly lord That hath in heaven and earth of naught And with his blood mankind hath bought
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel
19 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 Glory streams from heaven afar Heavenly host sing Halleluiah Christ the savior is born Christ the savior 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
20 O Come All Ye Faithful O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant Oh 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
God of God, light of light, lo, he abhors not the Virgin’s womb
Very God, begotten not created
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, sing, all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God in the highest
O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord
21 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 wonderous gift is given So, God imparts to human hearts the blessing 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 on 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, O Lord Emmanuel
Ding Dong Merrily on High Ding dong! merrily on high, in heaven the bells are ringing Ding dong! verily the sky, is riven with angels singing
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
E’en so here below, below Let steeple bells be swungen, And i-o, i-o, i-o, by priest and people sungen
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Pray you dutifully prime, your matin chime ye ringers May you beautifully rhyme, your eve’time song ye singers
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
22 God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our Savior, was born on Christmas Day To save us all from Satan’s pow’r when we were gone astray Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem, in Israel, this blessed Babe was born And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn The which His Mother Mary did nothing take in scorn Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Fear not then, said the Angel let nothing you affright This day is born a Savior of a pure Virgin bright To free all those who trust in Him from Satan’s pow’r and might Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
We Wish You a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year
