Joy to the World
Away in a Manger
Oh Come, All Ye Faithful
It Came upon The Midnight Clear
O Little Town of Bethlehem
Silent Night
We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Jov to the World

Joy to the world! The Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every 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.

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.

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 sky looked down where He lay.
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes,
I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle, till morning is nigh.

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 take us to heaven, To live with Thee there.

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;

Chorus
O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!

Praise choirs of angels, praise in exultation,
O bring, all ye bright hosts of heav'n above;
Glory to God, all glory in the highest;

(Chorus)

It Came upon The Midnight Clear

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 heav'n's all gracious King.
The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hoi/ ring wing.
And ever o'er its Babel sounds, The blessed angels sing.

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 wand'ring love.
O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth.
