  • When I think upon Christmas
    Words can't express
    How our Father in heaven
    Has sent us His best
    To be born in a manger
    The King in the hay
    And creation will worship His name

    For the joy of the world
    He was born
    Bringing peace to us all
    Through the gift of the Son
    Now the darkest of ages are done
    For the Savior of heaven has come

    When I think upon Jesus
    The King of all days
    I can't help but respond
    With an offering of praise
    Like the wise men and shepherds
    I'll follow Your light
    Like the angels I'll lift Your name high

    For the joy of the world
    You were born
    Bringing peace to us all
    Through the gift of Your love
    Now the darkest of ages are done
    For the Savior of heaven has come

    For the joy of the world
    You were born
    Bringing peace to us all
    Through the gift of Your love
    Now the darkest of ages are done
    For the Savior of heaven has come

    Now I look back in reverence
    To that holy night
    For the God of the heavens
    Had us on His mind
    Let us sing of His glory
    Rejoice in His name
    Oh, Emmanuel, with us always
    And forever His Kingdom will reign

  • 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 thy holy birth
    And praises sing to God the King
    And peace to men on earth

    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

  • Mary rode upon a donkey,
    With husband Joseph by her side.
    Mary rode upon a donkey,
    And she was anxious for her unborn child.

    Then they came to an inn in the middle of the night,
    And the inn keeper said I’m so sorry for your plight,
    But all I can give you is a stable out the back
    There’s no room in the inn tonight!

    There’s no room in the inn!
    There’s no room in the inn
    In old Bethlehem tonight.
    I don’t have a single bed
    The inn keeper said.
    There’s no room in the inn tonight!
    There’s no room in the inn tonight!

  • 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 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

  • Gloria, Gloria

    Angels we have heard on high

    Sweetly singing o’er the plains

    And the mountains in reply

    Echoing their joyous strains

    Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

    Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

    Shepherds, why this jubilee?

    Why your joyous strains prolong?

    What the gladsome tidings be

    Which inspire your heavenly song?

    Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

    Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

    Come to Bethlehem and see

    Him Whose birth the angels sing

    Come, adore on bended knee

    Christ the Lord, the newborn King

    Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

    Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

    Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

  • 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

    O’er silent flocks by night

    Behold throughout the heavens

    There shone a holy light

    I was a lonely seeker

    I saw both night and day

    And I asked the Lord to help me

    And he showed me the way

    He made me a watchman

    Up on the city wall

    And if I am a Christian

    I am the least of all, so I said

    The shepherds feared and trembled

    When lo above the earth

    Rang out the angel chorus

    That hailed our Saviour's birth

    And I said go!

    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

    Our humble Christ was born

    And God sent us salvation

    That blessed this Christmas morn

    And I said go!

    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!

    That Jesus Christ is born!

  • Said the night wind to the little lamb,
    "Do you see what I see?
    Way up in the sky, little lamb,
    Do you see what I see?
    A star, a star, dancing in the night
    With a tail as big as a kite,
    With a tail as big as a kite."

    Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
    "Do you hear what I hear?
    Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
    Do you hear what I hear?
    A song, a song high above the trees
    With a voice as big as the the sea,
    With a voice as big as the the sea."

    Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
    "Do you know what I know?
    In your palace warm, mighty king,
    Do you know what I know?
    A Child, a Child shivers in the cold~
    Let us bring him silver and gold,
    Let us bring him silver and gold."

    Said the king to the people everywhere,
    "Listen to what I say!
    Pray for peace, people, everywhere,
    Listen to what I say!
    The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
    He will bring us goodness and light,
    He will bring us goodness and light."

  • We three kings of Orient are

    Bearing gifts we traverse afar

    Field and fountain, moor and mountain

    Following yonder star

    O Star of wonder, star of night

    Star with royal beauty bright

    Westward leading, still proceeding

    Guide us to thy perfect light

    Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain

    Gold I bring to crown Him again

    King forever, ceasing never

    Over us all to reign.

    O Star of wonder, star of night

    Star with royal beauty bright

    Westward leading, still proceeding

    Guide us to thy perfect light

    Frankincense to offer have I

    Incense owns a Deity nigh

    Prayer and praising, voices raising

    Worship Him, God most high

    O Star of wonder, star of night

    Star with royal beauty bright

    Westward leading, still proceeding

    Guide us to thy perfect light

    Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume

    Breathes a life of gathering gloom

    Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying

    Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

    O Star of wonder, star of night

    Star with royal beauty bright

    Westward leading, still proceeding

    Guide us to thy perfect light

    Glorious now behold Him arise

    King and God and sacrifice

    Heaven sings, 'Alleluia!'

    ‘Alleluia!’ the Earth replies

    O Star of wonder, star of night

    Star with royal beauty bright

    Westward leading, still proceeding

    Guide us to thy perfect light

  • O come, O come, Emmanuel
    And ransom captive Israel
    That mourns in lonely exile here
    Until the Son of God appear

    O come, Thou, Dayspring from on high
    And cause Thy light on us to rise
    Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
    And death’s dark shadow put to flight
    Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
    Shall come to thee, O Israel

    O come, O come, true prophet of the Lord
    And turn the key to heaven’s door
    Be Thou our comforter and guide
    And lead us to the Father’s side
    Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
    Shall by His word our darkness dispel

    O come, our great High Priest, and intercede
    Thy sacrifice, our only plea
    The judgment we no longer fear
    Thy precious blood has brought us near
    Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
    Has banished every fear of hell

    O Come, Thou King of nations bring
    An end to all our suffering
    Bid every pain and sorrow cease
    And reign now as our Prince of Peace
    Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
    Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
    Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
    Shall come again with us to dwell

  • 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 world! 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 sound joy

    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 and wonders of His love
