Silent night

Silent night holy night 

All is calm I’m singin’ all is bright 

‘Round yon virgin mother and Child 

Holy Infant so tender and mild 

Sleep in heavenly peace 

Oh sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night holy night 

Shepherds quake oh at the sight 

Glories stream from heaven afar 

Heavenly hosts sing alleluia 

Christ the Savior is born

Verse 3

Silent night holy night 

Son of God oh 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

 

Oh holy night

Verse 1

O holy night the stars are brightly shining 

It is the night of the dear Savior's birth 

Long lay the world in sin and error pining 

Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth 

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices 

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

 

Chorus 1

Fall on your knees 

O hear the angel voices 

O night divine 

O night when Christ was born 

O night O holy night 

O night divine

 

Verse 2

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming 

With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand 

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming 

Here came the wise men from Orient land 

The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger 

In all our trials born to be our Friend

 

Chorus 2

He knows our need 

To weakness is no stranger 

Behold your King 

Before Him lowly bend 

Behold your King 

Before Him lowly bend

 

Verse 3

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

 

Chorus 3

Christ is the Lord 

O praise His name forever 

His power and glory 

Evermore proclaim 

His power and glory 

Evermore proclaim

 

Hark the herald angels

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 hosts proclaim 

Christ is born in Bethlehem 

Hark the herald angels sing 

Glory to the newborn King

 

Verse 2

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

 

Verse 3

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace 

Hail the Sun 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

 

Verse 4

Come Desire of nations come 

Fix in us Thy humble home 

Rise the woman's conqu’ring seed 

Bruise in us the serpent's head 

Adam’s likeness now efface 

Stamp Thine image in its place 

Second Adam from above 

Reinstate us in Thy love 

Hark the herald angels sing 

Glory to the newborn King

And makes the nations prove 

The glories of His righteousness 

And wonders of His love

Away in a manger

 

Verse 1

Away in a manger no crib for a bed 

The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head 

The stars in the sky looked down where He lay 

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

 

Verse 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 cradle 'til morning is nigh

 

Verse 3

Be near me Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay 

Close 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

 

It came upon the midnight clear

 

Verse 1

It came upon the midnight clear 

That glorious song of old 

From angels bending near the earth 

To touch their harps of gold 

Peace on the earth good will to men 

From heaven's all gracious King 

The world in solemn stillness lay 

To hear the angels sing

 

Verse 2

Still thro' the cloven skies they come 

With peaceful wings unfurled 

And still their heavenly music floats 

O'er all the weary world 

Above its sad and lowly plains 

They bend on hovering wing 

And ever o'er its Babel sounds 

The blessed angels sing

 

Verse 3

And ye beneath life's crushing load 

Whose forms are bending low 

Who toil along the climbing way 

With painful steps and slow 

Look now for glad and golden hours 

Come swiftly on the wing 

O rest beside the weary road 

And hear the angels sing

 

Verse 4

For lo the days are hastening on 

By prophet bards foretold 

When with the ever-circling years 

Comes round the age of gold 

When peace shall over all the earth 

Its ancient splendors fling 

And the whole world give back the song 

Which now the angels sing

 

Verse 5

Yet with the woes of sin and strife 

The world has suffered long 

Beneath the angel strain have rolled 

Two thousand years of wrong 

And man at war with man hears not 

The love song which they bring 

O hush the noise ye men of strife 

And hear the angels sing

 

Angels we have heard on high

 

Intro

Deo oh Deo oh

 

Verse 1

Angels we have heard on high 

Sweetly singing o'er the plains 

And the mountains in reply 

Echoing their joyous strains

 

Chorus

Gloria in excelsis Deo

 

Verse 2

Come to Bethlehem and see 

Him whose birth the angels sing 

Come adore on bended knee 

Christ the Lord the newborn King

 

Bridge

We will raise our voices Deo oh 

Join the angel's song on high Deo oh 

We behold Your beautiful light 

Shining glory through the night Deo oh

 

Ending

Deo oh Deo oh 

(REPEAT) 

Oh Deo oh

 

The first Noel

 

Verse 1

The first Noel the angel did say 

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay 

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep 

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

 

Chorus

Noel Noel Noel Noel 

Born is the King of Israel

 

Verse 2

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

 

Verse 3

And by the light of that same star 

Three wise men came from country far 

To seek for a king was their intent 

And to follow the star wherever it went

 

Verse 4

This star drew nigh to the northwest 

O'er Bethlehem it took its rest 

And there it did both stop and stay 

Right over the place where Jesus lay

 

Verse 5

Then entered in those wise men three 

Full rev'rently upon the knee 

And offered there in His presence 

Their gold and myrrh and frankincense

 

Oh little town of Bethlehem

 

Verse 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

 

Verse 2

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

 

Verse 3

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

 

Verse 4

Where children pure and happy 

Pray to the blessed Child 

Where misery cries out to Thee 

Son of the mother mild 

Where charity stands watching 

And faith holds wide the door 

The dark night wakes the glory breaks 

And Christmas comes once more

 

Verse 5

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

 

We'd love to see you on a Sunday morning service at 11am - all welcome!
