The Angel Gabriel
On a dark and mysterious night,
It was Mary, a maiden so gentle and kind,
Who was struck by the strangest of sights,
An angel appearing before her declared,
“Don’t be scared!
Don’t be scared!”
“I am the Angel Gabriel,
Sent down from heaven above.
I bring joy and happy news from God
His message of love.
So don’t be afraid!
I tell of a day
When Jesus your child shall be born.”
The Saviour in a manger
“And He shall be known for all time
As the Saviour divine,
Ooh.
Yes the Saviour divine.”
Ooh.
“What it pleases my God I shall be!”
Said Mary to Gabriel, down on her knees.
No more troubled in thought or in deed.
Most favoured of ladies what God has decreed;
It shall be!
It shall be!
“I am the Angel Gabriel,
Sent down from heaven above.
I bring joy and happy news from God
His message of love.
So don’t be afraid!
I tell of a day
When Jesus your child shall be born.”
The Saviour in a manger
“And He shall be known for all time
As the Saviour divine,
Ooh.
Yes the Saviour divine.”
Ooh.
“Yes the Saviour divine.”
Three Wise Men From The Orient
There were three wise men from the Orient,
Great and noble kings in the east;
Bearing gifts of gold, precious myrrh and frankincense
For a child born King of Kings.
And they travelled afar to follow a star
To follow a star to Bethlehem;
And they travelled afar
To follow a star
All the way to Bethlehem.
From the dawn of time and through history
There was much foretold of this King.
From the scriptures, reading the ancient prophecies;
In the sky now signs revealed.
And they travelled afar to follow a star
To follow a star to Bethlehem;
And they travelled afar
To follow a star
All the way to Bethlehem.
As the wise men searched for the baby King,
To Jerus’lem’s splendour they strayed;
‘twas a humble stable in little Bethlehem
Where at last they found him laid.
And they travelled afar to follow a star
To follow a star to Bethlehem;
And they travelled afar
To follow a star
All the way to Bethlehem.
And they travelled afar to follow a star
To follow a star to Bethlehem;
And they travelled afar
To follow a star
All the way to Bethlehem.
All the way to Bethlehem.

Light a Candle
When the winter day is dying
And the wind is blowing wild,
Listen for a lonely crying.
It may be a wand'ring child.
Light a candle in your window
When your final hope is gone.
Light a candle in the window,
And the Child will lead you on.
2 When at times you fear to follow
On the track that you must tread,
Friendly promises are hollow
For the tests that lie ahead –
Light a candle in your window
When your final hope is gone.
Light a candle in the window,
And the Child will lead you on.
3 When the world outside is waiting
But you can't give any more-
There's no end to war and hating
And you long to close the door
Light a candle in your window
Let it shine beyond your pain.
Light a candle in the window,
And the Child will come again.
Wait for the Lord
Wait for the Lord, whose day is near.
Wait for the Lord, keep watch, take heart.
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 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 Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Once in royal David’s city
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 Saviour holy.
For He is our childhood's pattern;
Day by day, like us, He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles, like us He knew;
And He careth for our sadness,
And he shareth in our gladness
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And He leads His children on,
To the place where He is gone.
The First Nowell
The first Nowell 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.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
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.
Nowell …
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.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel!
This star drew nigh to the north-west,
O’er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus layThen entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
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 nought,
And with his blood mankind hath bought.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel!
It came upon the midnight clear
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.
Yet with te woes of sin and strife
The world hath suffered long;
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring:
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When, with the ever-circling years,
Shall come the Age of Gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And all the world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.

O Come all ye Faithful
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.
Chorus
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 that happy morning,
Jesu, to thee be glory giv’n:
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing
Chorus
O come let us adore him,
O come let us adore him,
O come let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.
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
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to men on earth
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may his His coming,
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 Emmanuel
