1. Angels We Have Heard On High -A

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing over the plains

And the mountains in reply,

Echoing their joyous strains.

Glo-ori-a In excelsis de-o

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee

Christ, the Lord, the newborn King

Glo-ori-a In excelsis de-o Glo-ori-a In excelsis de-o

2. Away In a Manger - C (high)

The stars in the night sky

looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

3. Deck The Halls - A

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'Tis the season to be jolly

Don we now our gay apparel

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.

Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

See the blazing Yule before us.

Strike the harp and join the chorus.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Follow me in merry measure.

While I tell of Yule-tide Treasure.

4. Go, Tell It On The Mountain - A

While shepherds kept their watching

Over silent flocks by night,

Behold throughout the heavens,

There shone a holy light:

(Chorus) 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 send us salvation,
That blessed Christmas morn:

(Chorus)

5. God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen - D

God rest ye merry, gentlemen,

Let nothing you dismay;

Remember Christ, our Savior,

Was born on Christmas day,

To save us all from Satan's power

When we were gone astray.
O tidings of comfort and joy,

comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God our Heavenly Father,

A blessed angel came;
And unto certain shepherds

Brought tidings of the same:

How that in Bethlehem was born

The Son of God by name.
O tidings of comfort and joy,

comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

And a happy New Year.

7. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing - C

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 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 the incarnate Deity

Pleased as man with men to dwell,

Jesus, our Emmanuel

Hark! the herald angels sing,

"Glory to the newborn King"

Hail! the heaven-born Prince of Peace!

Hail! the Son of Righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings,

risen 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 newborn King"

8. It Came Upon The Midnight Clear - E

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, good will to men

From heaven's all gracious King."

The world in solemn stillness lay,

To hear the angels sing.

O ye, beneath life's crushing load

Whose forms are bending low,

Who toil along the climbing way

With painful steps and slow;

Look now! For glad and golden hours

Come swiftly on the wing;
O rest beside the weary road

And hear the angels sing.

9. Jingle Bells - G

Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go,

laughing all the way;

Bells on bob-tail ring,

making spirits bright,

What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

10. Joy to The World – C (high)

Joy to the world!

The Lord is come.

Let earth receive her King
Let every heart

prepare Him room

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, 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 and wonders of His love

11. O Little Town of Bethlehem - G

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.

12. O Come, All Ye Faithful - G

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.

Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation,

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.

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,

Born this happy morning,

Jesus, to Thee be all glory given;

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.

13. Silent Night - C (high)

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 Al-le-lu-ia!

Christ the Savior is born!

Silent night, holy night!

Wondrous star, lend thy light!

With the angels let us sing

Alleluia to our King!

Christ the Saviour is born,

Jesus the Saviour is born!

14. We Three Kings - B

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.

Glorious now behold Him arise,

King and God and Sacrifice!

Al-le-lu-ia, al-le-lu-ia, heaven to earth replies.

O star of wonder, star of night,

star with royal beauty bright.

Westward leading, still proceeding,

Guide us to thy perfect light.

15. The First Noel - E

The first Noel the angels 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 look-ed 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!

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,

That hath made heaven and earth of naught

And with His blood
mankind hath bought.
Noel Noel Noel Noel!

Born is the King of Israel!

16. What Child Is This? - D

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.

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

17. Angels from the Realms of Glory - E

Angels from the realms of glory,

Wing your flight o’er all the earth;

Ye who sang creation’s story

Now proclaim Messiah’s birth.

(Chorus)
Come and worship, come and worship,

Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Shepherds, in the field abiding,

Watching o’er your flocks by night,

God with us is now residing;

Yonder shines the infant light:

(Chorus)
