Silent Night, Holy Night,
All is dark, save the light
Shining where the mother mild
Watches over the Holy Child.
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Verse 2: Juniors only
Stille nacht, heilige nacht!
Gottes sohn, o wie lacht
Lieb aus deinem gottlichen mund,
Da uns schlagt die retende stund,
Christ in deiner geburt
Christ in deiner geburt.
Silent Night, holy night.
Son of God, oh how bright
Love is shining from thy face
Strikes for us now the hour of
grace,
Saviour, since thou art born,
Saviour, since thou art born.
Now light one thousand Christmas lights
On dark earth here tonight;
One thousand, thousand also shine
To make the dark sky bright.
Oh, once when skies were starry bright,
In stable cold and bare,
Sweet Mary bore a son that night,
A child both kind and fair.
She named her little son Jesu,
Sweet Mary, meek and mild,
She cradled and she rocked him too
That little tiny child.
He came to bring us love and light,
To bring us peace on earth,
So let your candle shine tonight
And sing with joy and mirth.
Now light one thousand Christmas lights
On dark earth here tonight;
One thousand, thousand also shine
To make the dark sky bright.
Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible say,
Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.
CHORUS
Hark now hear the angels sing, a new King born today
And man will live for [CLAP] evermore, because of Christmas Day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say
That man will live for [CLAP] evermore, because of Christmas Day.
While shepherds watched their flocks by night, hem see a bright new shining star,
Them hear a choir sing, the music seemed to come from afar.
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night,
Them find no place to born she child, not a single room was in sight.
CHORUS
By and by they find a little nook in a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark, Mary’s little boy was born.
Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible say,
Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.
CHORUS
CHORUS
Come and join the celebration, it’s a very special day
Come and share our jubilation; there’s a new king born today.
See the shepherds hurry down to Bethlehem
Gaze in wonder at the Son of God who lay before them
CHORUS
Wise men journey led to worship by a star
Kneel in homage, bringing precious gifts from lands afar so
CHORUS
God is with us; round the world the message bring
He is with us – welcome all the bells on earth are pealing
In the bleak mid-winter, frosty winds made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter long ago, long ago.
Our God, heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain,
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign;
In the bleak mid-winter a stable place sufficed,
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ.
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air –
But his mother only in her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the Beloved with a kiss, with a kiss
What can I give Him poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb.
If I were a wise man, I would do my part,
Yet what I can I give Him, give my heart, give my heart, my
heart.
Christmas is near, it’s that time of year
When we eat up lots of turkey and mince pies;
It’s time for party hats and good cheer –
Merry Christmas everyone.
CHORUS: When all the cards have been hung round the room,
And the last decoration has been made,
And when you see Christmas lights on the tree
Sing Happy Birthday to Jesus again.
Now is the time when the church bells chime
And the carol singers stand out in the cold;
It’s time for mistletoe, don’t be shy –
Merry Christmas everyone.
CHORUS
Christmas has come, We’re all having fun,
We’ve been making preparations for a while;
It’s time to celebrate, sing along –
Merry Christmas everyone.
CHORUS
LAST TIME CHORUS:
Now all the cards have been hung round the room,
And the last decoration has been made,
Now when you see Christmas lights on the tree
It’s Happy Birthday to Jesus again.
Oh Holy Night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
‘Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine; oh night, when Christ was born.
Oh night, o holy night, oh night divine.
Truly he taught us to love one another
His law is love and his Gospel is peace.
Chains shall he break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His Holy Name.
Christ is the Lord, oh praise his name forever
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim
