O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
O come, O Branch of Jesse’s stem
Unto your own, and rescue them!
From depths of hell your people save,
And give them victory o’er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
O come, O Bright and Morning Star,
And bring us comfort from afar!
Dispel the shadows of the night,
And turn our darkness into light.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind.
O bid our sad divisions cease
And be yourself our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
Once in royal David’s city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little child.
He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heav’n above:
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
Amen.
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 Israel.
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.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.
This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O’er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.
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.
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.
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;
Heav’nly 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!
Silent night, holy night!
Earth, awake! Silence, break!
High your anthems of melody raise,
Heav’n and earth, in full chorus of praise.
Peace forever shall reign,
Peace forever shall reign.
Go, and tell it. Go, go, and tell about it.
Go, tell it. Go, go, and tell about it.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
The shepherds all were watching
While seated on the ground.
A light from heaven descended,
And glory shone around.
Now we will . . .
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
This light shone in the heavens
To cover all the earth.
It was a sign to tell them
About our Savior’s birth.
Now we will . . .
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. Go, go, and tell about it.
Go . . .
