Oh come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant

Oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem

Come and behold him

Born the king of angels

Oh 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

Oh come, let us adore him

Christ the Lord

Sing choirs of angel, sing in exultation

Sing all ye citizens of heaven above

Glory to God in the highest

Oh come, let us adore him

Christ the Lord

3. 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 light
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

O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

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

O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Glorious now behold him arise
King and God and sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Sounds through the earth and skies

O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

4. Deck the halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la, La la, La la!
'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa 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!
Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa 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!

Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la, La la, La la!
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa 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 & weather, Fa la la la la, La la, La la!

5. 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 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!

6. Away in a Manger

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

The cattle are lowing
The Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love You, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
Until morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask You to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care
And fit us for heaven
To live with You there

7. Hark the Herald

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 the 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 the incarnate Deity
Pleased as Man with 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 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 the sons of earth
born to give us second birth

Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King"

9. 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 wait around

10. 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
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!

Silent night! Holy night!
Wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing
"Alleluia" to our King:
“Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the Saviour is born.”

11. Rudolph The Red-Nose Reindeer

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”

12. Rocking Around The Christmas Tree

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see

Every couple tries to stop

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Let the Christmas spirit ring

Later we'll have some pumpkin pie

And we'll do some caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing, let's be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancin' merrily

In the new old-fashioned way

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing, let's be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancin' merrily

In the new old-fashioned way

13. Joy to the world

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 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

No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found
Far as the curse is found
Far as, far as the curse is found

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

14. We wish you a merry Christmas
