CHRISTMAS CAROL LYRICS
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, 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
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
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing, and Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, Heaven, nature sing
ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
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 heav'nly 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
SCRIPTURE READING
O HOLY NIGHT
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
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
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 ever more proclaim
His power and glory ever more proclaim
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine
AWAY IN A MANGER
Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay 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 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 fit us for Heaven
To live with Thee there
SCRIPTURE READING
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 men 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 calling, 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 to us today
We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell
O come to us abide with us, our Lord emanuel
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
SCRIPTURE READING
What Child is This
What Child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
So bring Him incense gold and myrrh
Come peasant King to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Raise, raise the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe the Son of Mary
This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Nails, spears shall pierce Him through
The cross He bore for me, for you
Hail, hail the Word made flesh
The Babe, the Son of Mary

COMMUNION
You Gave Your Life Away
You spoke and worlds were formed
You breathed and life was born
You knew that one day
You would come
So far from Heaven's throne
Clothed in human form
You showed the world the Father's love
You gave you gave your life away,
You gave you gave your life away
You gave you gave your life away for me
Your grace has broken ev'ry chain
My sins are gone
My debt's been paid
You gave you gave your life away for me
You lived a sin-less life
Yet you were crucified
You bought our freedom on the cross
Forsaken for our sin, you died and rose again
Jesus you are the Lamb of God
You gave you gave your life away
You gave you gave your life away
You gave you gave your life away for me
Your grace has broken ev'ry chain
My sins are gone
My debt's been paid
You gave you gave your life away for me
How glorious is your love, if I could
Sing forever it's not enough
How glorious is your love, if I could
Sing forever it's not enough
It's not enough
You gave you gave your life away
You gave you gave your life away
You gave you gave your life away for me
Your grace has broken ev'ry chain
My sins are gone
My debt's been paid
You gave you gave your life away for me
You gave you gave your life away
You gave you gave your life away
You gave you gave your life away for me
Your grace has broken ev'ry chain
My sins are gone
My debt's been paid
You gave you gave your life away for me
For me
Forsaken for our sin, you died and rose again
Jesus You are the Lamb of God
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 Allelujah
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
