Once in Royal David’s City                              And our eyes at last shall see him
Stood a lowly cattle shed,                               Through his own redeeming love,
Where a Mother laid her baby                         For that child so dear and gentle
In a manger for his bed:                                  Is our Lord in Heaven above;
Mary was that mother mild.                             And he leads his children on
Jesus Christ her little child.                             To the place where he is gone.

 
Away in a manger,                                          Be near me, Lord Jesus;
No crib for a bed,                                             I ask thee to stay
The Little lord Jesus                                        Close by me forever,
Laid down his sweet head:                              And love me I pray;
The stars in the bright sky                                Bless all the dear children
Look down where he lay,                                In thy tender care,
The little lord Jesus                                         And fit us for heaven,
Asleep on the hay.                                           To live with thee there.

 
                                                                      Women

God rest ye Merry, gentlemen          At Bethlehem in Judah                   Now to the Lord sing  praises,
Let nothing you dismay!                   The holy babe was born;                All people in this place!
For Jesus Christ our saviour             They laid him in a manger             With Christian love and fellowship
Was born on Christmas day,             On this most happy morn:              Each other now  Embrace
To save us all from Satan’s power    At which his mother Mary              And let this Christmas festival
When we were gone astray              Did neither fear nor scorn:             All bitterness displace:

Chorus:                                                            All
O tidings of comfort and joy,           O tidings of comfort and joy,            O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and Joy.                             Comfort and Joy                              Comfort and Joy
O tidings of comfort and joy            O tidings of comfort and joy             O tidings of comfort and joy

 

 
Silent night, holy night.                                    Silent night, holy night,

All is calm, all is bright,                                    Shepherds quake at the sight,

Round yon virgin mother and child;                 Glories stream from heaven afar,

Holy infant so tender and mild:                         Heavenly hosts sing alleluia:

Sleep in heavenly peace (2)                             Christ, the saviour is born. (2)

 
Ding Dong ! Merrily on high                              Pray you’ dutifully prime      

In heav’n the bells are ringing,                         Your matin chime, ye ringers;

Ding dong ! verily the sky                                 May you beautifully rime

Is riv’n with angels singing.                              Your evetime song, ye singers.

 
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis !                            Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis

 
O come all ye faithful,                                                 Sing, choirs of angels,

Joyful and triumphant.                                                Sing in exultation,

O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;                         Sing all ye citizens of heaven above;

Come and behold him,                                                Glory to god

Born the king of angels;                                               In the highest:

 

O come, let us adore him (3)                                       O come, let us adore him, (3)

Christ the Lord                                                             Christ the Lord
