16 Christmas Carol Lyrics

Joy to the World Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Joy to The world! the Lord is come Hark! the herald angels sing, Let earth receive her King "Glory to the newborn King!" Let ev'ry heart prepare him room Peace on earth, and mercy mild, And heaven and nature sing God and sinners reconciled And heaven and nature sing Joyful, all ye nations, rise, And heaven and nature sing Join the triumph of the skies; With th' angelic host proclaim, We Three Kings "Christ is born in Bethlehem." We three kings of orient are, Hark! the herald angels sing, Bearing gifts we traverse afar "Glory to the newborn King!" Field and fountain, Moor and mountain, Silent Night Following yonder star. Silent night, holy night! All is calm, all is bright. O star of wonder, star of night, Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child. Star with royal beauty bright. Holy infant so tender and mild, Westward leading, still proceeding, Sleep in heavenly peace, Guide us to thy perfect light. Sleep in heavenly peace

It Came Upon The Midnight Clear O Come, All Ye Faithful It came upon the midnight clear, O come, all ye faithful, That glorious song of old, Joyful and triumphant, From angels bending near the earth O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem. To touch their harps of gold! Come and behold Him, Peace on the earth, good will to men, Born the King of Angels! From heaven's all gracious King! The world in solemn stillness lay O come, let us adore Him, To hear the angels sing. O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O Little Town of Bethlehem Christ the Lord. 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

Playing under John has been such a personally enriching experience. He knows how to bring out the best in each of us as individuals and as an orchestra. He is passionate about the music and has such a gifted way of sharing that passion with the musicians. He brings an awareness of what is going on so we understand the unity of the whole. He excels at doing his "homework" and that motivates us to do our homework. – Lynda Pettersen, violinist
