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,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
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.

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 th’angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
Christ, by highest Heav’n 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 as man with men to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel.
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
Hail the heav’n 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!”

Go Tell It on the Mountain
Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherds kept their watching over 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 angels’ chorus that hailed the Savior’s birth.
Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born.
Down in a lowly manger, the humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn.
Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born.
Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born.

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 ever lasting 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!
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!

The First Noel
The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay tending 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.
This star drew nigh to the northwest,
Over Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;
That hath made Heaven and earth of naught,
And with His blood mankind hath bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

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 Savior 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, wonders, of His love.

Come, Though Long Expected Jesus
Come, thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fear and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee
Come, thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fear and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee
Israel’s strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of ev’ry longing heart
Joy to those who long to see Thee
Dayspring from on high appear
Come thou promised rod of Jesse
Of Thy birth we long to hear
O’er the hills the angels singing
News, glad tidings of a birth!
Go to Him your praises bringing
Christ the Lord has come to Earth!
Come to Earth to taste our sadness
He whose glories knew no end
By His life He brings us gladness
Our redeemer, shepherd, friend
Leaving riches without number
Born within a cattle stall
This the everlasting wonder
Christ was born the Lord of all!
Christ was born the Lord of all!
Christ was born the Lord of all!

O Astonishing Grace
O astonishing grace
That the reprobate race
Should be reconciled
What a wonder of wonders that God is a child
What a wonder of wonders that God is a child
The Creator of all
To repair our sad fall
From heaven stoops down
Lays hold of our nature
And joins to his own
What a wonder of wonders that God is a child
What a wonder of wonders that God is a child
Our Immanuel came
The whole world to redeem
And incarnated showed
That man may again
Be united to God
To his heavenly prize
By faith let us rise
To his image ascend
Apprehended by God
Let us God apprehend
What a wonder of wonders that God is a child
What a wonder of wonders that God is a child
What a wonder of wonders that God is a child
What a wonder of wonders that God is a child

Death of Distance
Go tell it on the mountain, sing it on the hillside
God with us, God with us
Teach it to your children how deep and how wide
God with us, God with us
Wisdom wrapped in innocence
Born to be the death of distance
There is here and heaven’s near God with us
From a distant country, you see it written in the stars
God with us, God with us
Born to bear our suffr’ing, born to wear our scars
God with us, God with us
Suspended in omnipotence
On the cross of our inheritance
There is now and heaven’s found God with us
Go tell it on the mountain, sing it on the hillside
God with us, God with us
Wisdom wrapped in innocence
Born to be the death of distance
God with us
