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, goodwill 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 heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world
Above its sad and low—ly plains, they bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds; the blessed angels sing.
For lo, the days are hastening on by prophets long 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 send back the song which now the angels sing
Glo-ry to God, Peace on earth to all!
Glo-ry to God, Peace on earth to all!
Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners re—con—ciled!”
Joyful, all ye nations, rise, join the triumph of the skies;
With angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethle—hem!”
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 vir—gin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; hail th’ incarnate De—ity,
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell, Jesus our Emmanu—el.
Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new—born King!”
King of Heaven come down, King of Heaven come now
Let Your glory reign, shining like the day, King of Heaven come
King of Heaven rise up, who can stand against us?
You are strong to save, in Your mighty name, King of Heaven come
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 new—born King!”
O Holy Night
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Til he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, Oh, hear the angel voices!
O ni---ght di---vine, O night when Christ was born!
O ni---ght div---ine, O night, O night divine!
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.
Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever,
His power and glory e—vermore proclaim!
His power and glory e—vermore proclaim!
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
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
There’s joy in the house of the Lord
There’s joy in the house of the Lord today
And we won’t be quiet; we shout out Your praise
There’s joy in the house of the Lord
Our God is surely in this place
And we won’t be quiet; we shout out Your praise
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
The First Noel
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.
Noel, noel, noel, noel,
Born is the King of Is rael.
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.
This star drew nigh to the north west;
O'er Beth le hem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
