(1st verse SOLO)
1. Once in royal David’s city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed:
2. 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.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little Child.
3. And our eyes at last shall see him,
Through His own redeeming grace.
For that Child, so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And he leads his children on,
4. Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him, but in heaven,
Set at God’s right hand on high:
When like starts his children crowned,
To the place where he is gone. All in white shall wait around.

HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING
1. Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
2. Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
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!"
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
3. Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n 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!"

THE FIRST NOWELL
1. The First Nowell, 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.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel!
3. And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
2. They looked up and saw a star
Shining In The East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
Born is the King of Israel!
And so it continued both day and night.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
4. This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
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!
And there it did both Pause and stay
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel!

1. O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL
2. God of God,
Light of Light,
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.
3. See how the shepherds,
Summoned to his cradle,
Lo! He abhors not the Virgin's womb:
Very God,
Begotten, not created;
O come…
4. Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;
We too will thither
Bend our joyful footsteps;
O come…
Creative Community Choir /
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above;
Glory to God

SEE AMID THE WINTER’S SNOW
1. See amid the winter’s snow,
Born for us on earth below,
See, the tender Lamb appears,
LET IT SNOW
2. Lo, within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies
He who throned in height sublime
Promised from eternal years
Hail thou ever blessed morn
Hail redemption’s happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem
Christ is born in Bethlehem
3. Say, ye holy shepherds say
What your joyful news today
Wherefore have you left your sheep
On the lonely mountain steep?
Hail thou ever blessed morn
Hail redemption’s happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Sits among the cherubim
Hail thou ever blessed morn,
Hail redemption’s happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem
Christ is born in Bethlehem
4. As we watched at dead of night
Lo we saw a wondrous light
Angels singing ‘Peace on Earth’
Told us of the Saviour’s birth
Hail thou ever blessed morn,
Hail redemption’s happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem
Christ is born in Bethlehem
