Song 2 - The Angel Gabriel from
Heaven Came
The angel Gabriel from Heaven
came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes
as flame;
“All hail,” said he, “thou lowly maiden
Mary,
Most highly favoured lady,” Gloria!
“For know a blessèd mother thou
shalt be,
All generations laud and honour thee,
Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers
foretold,
Most highly favoured lady,” Gloria!
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her
head,
“To me be as it pleaseth God,” she
said,
“My soul shall laud and magnify His
holy Name.”
Most highly favoured lady, Gloria!
Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was
born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas
morn,
And Christian folk throughout the
world will ever say—
“Most highly favoured lady,” Gloria!

Song 3 - Little Donkey
Little donkey, little donkey on the
dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards
with your precious load
Been a long time, little donkey,
through the winters night
Don't give up now, little donkey,
Bethlehem's in sight
Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Little donkey, little donkey, had a
heavy day
Little donkey, carry Mary, safely on
her way
Little donkey, carry Mary, safely on
her way

Song 4 - It was on a Starry Night
It was on a starry night when the
hills were bright
Earth lay sleeping, sleeping calm and
still.
Then in a cattle shed, in a manger
bed
For a boy was born, King of all the
world.
And all the angels sang for Him,
The bells of heaven rang for Him
For a boy was born, King of all the
world.
And all the angels sang for Him,
The bells of heaven rang for Him
For a boy was born, King of all the
world.
Soon the shepherds came that way
where the baby lay
And were kneeling, kneeling by His
side.
And their hearts believed again, for
the peace of men,
For a boy was born, King of all the
world.
And all the angels sang for Him,
The bells of heaven rang for Him
For a boy was born, King of all the
world.
And all the angels sang for Him,
The bells of heaven rang for Him
For a boy was born, King of all the
world.

Song 5 - While shepherds watched their
flocks by night
While shepherds watched
Their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
"Fear not," he said,
For mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind,
To you in David's
Town this day
Is born of David's line
The Saviour who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign
The heavenly Babe
You there shall find
To human view displayed
And meanly wrapped
In swathing bands
And in a manger laid
All glory be to
God on high
And to the earth be peace;
Goodwill henceforth
From heaven to men
Begin and never cease

Song 6 - Away in a Manger
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright 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 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

Song 7 - We Three Kings of Orient Are
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
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to rein

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, its bitter perfume
Breathes of life of gathering 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
Peasants sounding Alleluia, Alleluia
Earth to heaven replies
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

All is calm, all is bright
See the gentle Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace

Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Wondrous Star, lend Thy light!
We the angels tend the sleep
Alleluia to the King
