1. HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING(C Wesley & F Mendelssohn)

1. Hark! the herald angels sing,‘Glory to the new-born 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 host proclaim,‘Christ is born in Bethlehem.’Hark! the herald angels sing:‘Glory to the new-born King.’

2. Christ, by highest heav’n adored,Christ, the everlasting Lord,

Late in time behold Him come,Off-spring of a virgin’s womb!

Veiled in flesh the God-head see;Hail th’incarnate Deity!

Pleased as man with man to dwell,Jesus our Immanuel!

Hark! the herald angels sing:‘Glory to the new-born King.’

2. WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED THEIR FLOCKS(N Tate, C Tye & G Kirbye)

1. While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground,

The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around.

2. Fear not! said he; for mighty dread Had seized their troubled minds; Glad tidings of great joy I bring

To you and all mankind.

3. To you, in David’s town, this day, Is born of David’s line

A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord; And this shall be the sign:

4. The heavenly babe you there shall find To human view displayed,

All meanly wrapped in swathing bands And in a manger laid.

5. Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith Appeared a shining throng

Of angels, praising God, and thus Addressed their joyful song:

6. All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace;

Goodwill henceforth from Heaven to men Begin and never cease!

3. JOY TO THE WORLD(I Watts & G F Handel)

1. Joy to the world! The Lord has 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.

2. Joy to the world! 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.

3. No more let sins and sorrow grow,Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flowFar as the curse is found,Far as the curse is found,

Far as, far as the curse is found.

4. He rules the world with truth and grace,And makes the nation prove

The glories of His righteousnessAnd wonders of His love,And wonders of His love,

And wonders, wonders of His love.

4. AWAY IN A MANGER(M Luther, J T McFarland, W J Kirkpatrick arr. E Ball)

1. 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.

2. 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 until morning is nigh.

3. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stayClose 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.

5. MARY’S BOY CHILD(J Hairston arr. K Norbury)

1. Long time ago in Bethlehem So the Holy Bible say

Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ Was born on Christmas Day.

Hark now hear the angels sing A new King’s born today

And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas Day.

2. While shepherds watched their flocks by night, They saw a bright new shining star

And heard a choir from Heaven sing, The music came from afar.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, A new King’s born today,

And man will live for evermore, Because of Christmas Day.

3. 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.

11

4. By and by they find a little nook In a stable all forlorn,

And in a manger cold and dark, Mary’s little boy was born.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, A new King’s born today,

And man will live for evermore, Because of Christmas Day.

Trumpets sound and angels sing, Listen to what they say.

That man will live for evermore, Because of Christmas Day.

6. GOOD KING WENCESLAS(J M Neale)

1. Good King Wenceslas looked outOn the feast of Stephen,

When the snow lay ‘round about,Deep and crisp and even.

Brightly shone the moon that night,Though the frost was cruel.

When a poor man came in sight,Gath’ring winter fuel.

2. ‘Hither page and stand by me,If thou know’st it telling,

Yonder peasant, who is he?Where and what his dwelling?’

‘Sire he lives a good league hence,Underneath the mountain;

Right against the forest fence,By Saint Agnes’ fountain.’

3. ‘Bring me flesh and bring me wine,Bring me pine-logs hither;

Thou and I will see him dine,When we bear them thither.’

Page and monarch forth they went,Forth they went together;

Through the rude wind’s wild lament:And the bitter weather.

13

4. ‘Sire the night is darker now,And the wind blows stronger;Fails my heart I know not how,

I can go no longer.’‘Mark my footsteps, my good page,

Tread thou in them boldly:Thou shalt find the winter’s rage

Freeze thy blood less coldly.’

5. In his master’s steps he trod,Where the snow lay dinted;

Heat was in the very sodWhich the saint had printed.

Therefore, Christian men, be sure,Wealth or rank possessing,

Ye who now will bless the poor,Shall yourselves find blessing

14

7. JINGLE BELLS(J Pierpont)

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.

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 bobtails ring, making spirits bright,What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

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!

8. O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM(P Brooks & L H Redner)

1. 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.

2. O morning stars together Proclaim the Holy birth,

And praises sing to God, the King, And peace to men on earth. For Christ is born of Mary; And, gathered all above,

While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond’ring love.

3. O Holy Child of Bethlehem,

Descend to 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,

Our Lord Emmanuel.

Remember Christ our Saviour Was born on Christmas Day;

To save us all from Satan’s pow’r When we were gone astray;

From God our Heav’nly Father A blessed angel came;

And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same:

How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by name.

O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy!

O tidings of comfort and joy!

Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place,

And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace;

This holy tide of Christmas All other doth deface.

O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy!

O tidings of comfort and joy!
