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.
Away in a Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed, the little Lord Jesus
laid down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down
where he lay, the little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The First Nowell
The First Nowell, the angel did say, was to certain poor shepherds in fields
where they lay; in fields where they lay akeeping their sheep, on a cold
winter’s night that was so deep. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of
Israel.
Silent Night
Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright Round yon vergin mother and
child. Holy infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in
heavenly peace.
We Three Kings
We three kings of Orient are, bearing gifts we traverse afar. Field
and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star.
Oh-oh, star of wonder star of night, star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light.
Joy to the World! The Lord is Come
Joy to the world! The Lord is come: Let earth receive her King; Let every heart
prepare him room, And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven and heaven and nature sing.
