Carol No.1
O Come, all ye faithful,
O Come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye
to Bethlehem;
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels:
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O 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:
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord!
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens
of heaven above;
Glory to God
In the highest:
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord!
Yea, Lord we greet thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesu, to thee be glory given;
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord!
Carol No.2
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.
Carol No.3
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 all 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 Immanuel.
Carol No.4
O come, O come, Immanuel
O come, O come, Immanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice, rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, O come,
Thou Lord of might
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times didst give the law,
In cloud, and majesty, and awe.
Rejoice, rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell
Thy people save
And give them victory
o'er the grave.
Rejoice, rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way
that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice, rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Carol No.5
Angels, from the realms of glory
Angels, from the realms of glory,
wing your flight o'er all the earth;
ye who sang creation's story,
now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Come and worship
Christ, the new-born King:
come and worship,
worship Christ,
the new-born King.
Shepherds, in the field abiding,
watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
yonder shines the infant Light:
Come and worship
Christ, the new-born King:
come and worship,
worship Christ,
the new-born King.
Sages, leave your contemplations;
brighter visions beam afar:
seek the great Desire of Nations;
ye have seen his natal star:
Come and worship
Christ, the new-born King:
come and worship,
worship Christ,
the new-born King.
Though an infant now we view him,
he shall share his Father's throne,
gather all the nations to him;
every knee shall then bow down:
Come and worship
Christ, the new-born King:
come and worship,
worship Christ,
the new-born King.
Carol No.6
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 mean and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
And through all His
wondrous childhood
He would honour and obey,
love, and watch the lowly mother,
in whose gentle arms he lay:
Christian children all should be,
Kind, obedient, good as He.
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;
there His children gather round,
bright like stars, with glory crowned.
Carol No.7
The first nowell
The first nowell the angel did say
was to Bethlehem's shepherds
in fields as they lay;
in fields where they lay
keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night
that was so deep:
Nowell, nowell,
nowell, nowell,
born is the king of Israel!
Then wise men from a country far
looked up and saw a guiding star;
they travelled on by night and day
to reach the place where Jesus lay:
Nowell, nowell,
nowell, nowell,
born is the king of Israel!
At Bethlehem they entered in,
on bended knee
they worshipped him,
and offered there in his presence
their gold and myrrh
and frankincense:
Nowell, nowell,
nowell, nowell,
born is the king of Israel!
Then let us all with one accord
sing praises to our heavenly Lord;
for Christ has our salvation wrought
and with his blood
mankind has bought:
Nowell, nowell,
nowell, nowell,
born is the king of Israel!
Carol No.8
While shepherds watched
their
flocks by night
While shepherds
watched their flocks by night,
all seated on the ground,
the angel of the Lord came down
and glory shone around.
'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:
The heavenly babe
you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all meanly wrapped
in swaddling bands,
and in a manger laid'
'All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
goodwill henceforth
from heaven to men
begin and never cease!'
Carol No.9
Silent night, Holy 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 quail at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly 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.
Carol No.10
Infant holy, Infant lowly
Infant holy, infant lowly,
for his bed a cattle stall;
oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
nowells ringing, tidings bringing,
Christ the babe is Lord of all,
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Flocks were sleeping,
shepherds keeping
vigil till the morning new;
saw the glory, heard the story,
tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
praises voicing, greet the morrow,
Christ the babe was born for you,
Christ the babe was born for you.
Carol No.11
The Holly and the Ivy
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown:
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a blossom,
As white as the lily flower,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To be our sweet Saviour,
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a berry,
As red as any blood,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To do poor sinners good:
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a bark,
As bitter as any gall,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all:
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
Carol No.12
Hark the Herald Angels sing
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 the angelic host proclaim:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new-born King!
Christ by highest heav'n adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord,
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of a 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 new-born 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 new-born King!
