DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR

Do you hear what I hear?

 

Said the lamb to the shepherd boy

Do you hear what I hear?

Ringing through the skies, shepherd boy

Do you hear what I hear?

A song, a song, high above the trees

With a voice as big as the sea

Do you hear what I hear?

Said the shepherd boy to the Mighty King

Do you know what I know?

In your palace warm, Mighty King

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

Do you hear what I hear?

Said the king to the people everywhere

Listen to what I say

Pray for peace, people everywhere

Listen to what I say

A child, a child, sleeping in the night

He will bring us goodness and light

He will bring us goodness and light

He will bring us goodness and lightt

Do you hear what I hear?

AWAY IN A MANGER (FOREVER AMEN)

 

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head

The stars in the sky, look down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes

The day of salvation beginning to break

I love thee, Lord Jesus, oh gift from above

The King of the heavens forever with us

I worship You, Jesus for all my days

The highest praises be unto Your name

My God and my Saviour

My King and my friend

Yours is the glory forever amen

Yours is the glory forever amen

Yours is the glory forever amen

WHAT CHILD IS THIS

 

What Child is this who laid to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch are keeping

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste haste to bring Him Laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary, oh

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh

Come peasant king to own Him

The King of Kings salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him, oh

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste haste to bring Him Laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary

Oh come adore our King

Glory in the highest, glory in the highest

Let all creation sing

Glory in the highest, glory in the highest

ANGELS (GLORY TO GOD)

Gloria, Gloria

 

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o’er the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains

 

Gloria in excelsis Deo

 

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be?

Which inspire your heav’nly song?

 

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Gloria in excelsis Deo

 

Glory to God, Glory to God

Glory to God in the highest forever

For all He has done, His unfailing love

Glory to God in the highest forever

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing

Come, adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord, the newborn King

 

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Gloria, gloria, glory to God in the highest

Gloria, gloria, glory to God in the highest

DECK THE HALLS

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

(fa la la la la, la la la la)
'Tis the season to be jolly

(fa la la la la, la la la la)
Don we now our gay apparel

(fa la la la la, la la la la)
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol

(fa la la la la, la la la la)

See the blazing yule before us

(fa la la la la, la la la la)
Strike the harp and join the chorus

(fa la la la la, la la la la)
Follow me in merry measure

(fa la la la la, la la la la)
While I tell of Yuletide treasure

(fa la la la la, la la la la)

Christmas time is my favourite time of year

Deck the halls with holiday cheer

Watch our troubles disappear

As we celebrate Jesus birth tonight

 

Fast away, the old year passes

(fa la la la la, la la la la)

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses

(fa la la la la, la la la la)
Sing we joyous all together

(fa la la la la, la la la la)
Heedless of the wind and weather

RUDOLF 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 it
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 how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history

JINGLE BELLS

 

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

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

 

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

 

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town

 

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He's making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out 
Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

OH LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

Oh 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 given

So God imparts to human hearts

The blessing of His heaven

No ear may hear His coming

But in the 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 to us this day

We hear the Christmas angels

The great glad tidings tell

O come to us abide with us

Our Lord Emmanuel

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight

MARY DID YOU KNOW

Mary did you know

That your baby boy will one day walk on water?

Mary did you know

That your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know that your baby boy

Has come to make you new?

This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you

Mary did you know

That your baby boy would give sight to a blind man?

Mary did you know

That your baby boy would calm the storms with His hand?

Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?

When you kissed your little baby, you've kissed the face of God

Oh Mary did you know?
 

The blind will see

And the deaf will hear

And the dead will live again

 

The lame will leap

And the dumb will speak

The praises of the lamb

 

Mary did you know

That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?

Mary did you know

That your baby boy would one day rule the nations?

Did you know that your baby boy is Heaven's perfect lamb

And that sleeping Child you're holding is the great I am

Oh Mary oh​​

BEHOLD

Behold, the King has come,

Divinity incarnate

Creator of the world,

Breathing our air

Behold, what light has come

And the dark cannot contain it

The Saviour of the world is finally here

O come, let us adore Him,

Come, let us adore Him

For He alone is worthy,

Christ, the Lord

Behold, the Father's love

Beyond all comprehension

He gave His only Son

To die in our place

Go and see that empty tomb

He's not there, for He is risen

Ev'ry heart prepare Him room

Jesus Christ, the King of Heaven

We give you all the glory,

We give you all the glory

We give you all the glory,

Christ, the Lord

We praise Your name forever

We praise Your name forever

We praise Your name forever

Christ, the Lord

O come, let us adore Him,

Come, let us adore Him

For He alone is worthy,

Christ, the Lord

Christ, the Lord,

He is Christ, the Lord

OH HOLY NIGHT/HOLY FOREVER

 

Oh Holy night, the stars are brightly shining

It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth

Long lay the world, in sin and error pining

'Til 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

​​

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, oh praise His name forever

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

And the angels cry, Holy

All creation cries, Holy

You are lifted high, Holy

Holy forever

Hear your people sing, Holy

To the King of Kings, Holy

You will always be, Holy

Holy forever

(Jesus) Your name is the highest

Your name is the greatest

Your name stands above them all

All thrones and dominions

All powers and positions

Your name stands above them all

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

 

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

 

The shepherds feared and trembled
When, lo! Above the Earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth

 

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
On that blessed Christmas morn

 

I was a lonely seeker

I saw both night and day

I asked the Lord to help me

And He showed me the way

He made me a watchman

Upon the city wall

And if I am a Christian

I am the least of all

Go, tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Go, tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ is born

DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH

 

Ding dong, merrily on high
In heav’n the bells are ringing
Ding dong, verily the sky
Is riv’n with angel singing


Gloria, hosannah in excelsis
Gloria, hosannah in excelsis

E'en so here below, below
Let steeple bells be swungen
And io, io, io
By priest and people sungen


Gloria, hosannah in excelsis
Gloria, hosannah in excelsis

Ding dong, merrily on high

The curse and sin is broken

Ding dong, open up your eyes

The celebration starting


Gloria, hosannah in excelsis
Gloria, hosannah in excelsis

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 the Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail th'incarnate Deity
Pleased with man as man 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
Ris'n 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

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
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

Silent night, Holy night
Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah


Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born

WE THREE KINGS

 

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 forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high

Myrrh is mine; its 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
Earth to heaven replies

 

O star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to thy perfect light

JOY TO THE WORLD

 

Joy to the world; the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room
And heav'n and nature sing

And heav'n and nature sing

And heav'n and heav'n 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, and wonders of His love

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring 

Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Dancin' and prancin' in jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time

To rock the night away,

Jingle bell time it's a swell time

 

Giddyup, jingle horse, pick up your feet,

Jingle a-round the clock

Mix and a-mingle in a jinglin' beat,

That's the jingle bell rock

 

That's the jingle bell

That's the jingle bell

That's the jingle bell rock​​
