O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
Christ, the Lord.

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.

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
born this happy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv’n.
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.

Sing, choirs of angels,
sing in exultation,
O sing, all ye citizens
of heaven above;
Glory to God,
glory in the highest;

O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
Christ, the Lord.

Hark, the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn 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 newborn King!”

Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of the Virgin’s womb.

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail th’incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man
with us to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark, the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail the heaven-born
Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings.

Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that we no more may die;
Born to raise us from the earth,
Born to give us second birth.
Hark, the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”

On Christmas day a humble girl
Gives birth to hope for all the world
This is Emmanuel

How awesome and mysterious
The Lord of heaven draws near to us
This is Emmanuel

The hands that once
split night from day
Now feebly clutch a blade of hay
This is Emmanuel

Majestic king now small and weak
The Word of God must learn to speak
This is Emmanuel

This is our God seen by our eyes
The love of the Father
made known in Jesus Christ

This is our God worthy of praise
The love of the Father
revealed on Christmas day

The shepherds come and bow to him
The Lamb who takes away our sin
This is Emmanuel

For God has entered time and space
To show the world his endless grace
This is Emmanuel

This is our God seen by our eyes
The love of the Father
made known in Jesus Christ

This is our God worthy of praise
The love of the Father
revealed on Christmas day

Emmanuel Emmanuel
Our God is with us now
Emmanuel Emmanuel
Our God is with us now

This is our God seen by our eyes
The love of the Father
made known in Jesus Christ

This is our God worthy of praise
The love of the Father
revealed on Christmas day

This is our God seen by our eyes
The love of the Father
made known in Jesus Christ

This is our God worthy of praise
The love of the Father
revealed on Christmas day

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 baby awakes,
The little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus!
Look down from the sky,
And stay by my side until 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.

Silent Night
Silent night, holy night:
all is calm, all is bright
round the 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 Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.’

Silent night, holy night:
Son of God, love’s pure light,
radiant beams from Your holy face,
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Your birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Your birth.

Silent night, holy night:
Wonderous star, lend thy light.
With the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts, we travel 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, till proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

Frankincense to offer have I,
God on earth yet Priest on High;
Prayer and praising, all of us raising,
Worship Him, God on 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, it’s bitter perfume
Tells of death and Calvary’s 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 cries out “Alleluia!”
“Amen” 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.

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 Saviour reigns:
Let us their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks,
hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

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.

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.
