Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn king!
Peace on Earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies
With th'angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn king!"
Christ, by highest Heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see,
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn king!"
Hail the Heaven-born Prince of Peace,
Hail the Sun of righteousness
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the son of Earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn king!"
Glory to the newborn king!

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him,
Born the king of angels
O come, let us adore Him (3x)
Christ, the Lord
O sing, choirs of angels, sing in exaltation,
Sing, all that hear in Heaven God's holy word
Give to our Father glory in the highest
O come, let us adore Him (3x)
Christ, the Lord
All hail, Lord we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning
O Jesus, forevermore be Thy name adored
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing
O come, let us adore Him (3x)
Christ, the Lord

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free,
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save,
And give them victory o'er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our Heavenly home
Make safe the way the leads on high,
And close the path to misery
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Adonai, Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times did'st give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ, our Saviour,
was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray,
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem, in Israel,
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn'
The which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God, our Heavenly Father,
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy
"Fear not," then said the angel,
"Let nothing you affright"
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure Virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy
Now, to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy
Good tidings of comfort and joy

What Child is This?
02:07

What Child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ, the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear for sinners here,
The silent word is pleading
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through
The cross be borne for me, for you
Hail, hail the Word made flesh
The Babe, the Son of Mary
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own Him
The King of kings, salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Jesus, the Son of Mary

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply,
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria, in excelsis Deo! (2x)
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be
Which inspire your Heavenly song
Gloria, in excelsis Deo! (2x)
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him, whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King
Gloria, in excelsis Deo! (2x)
See within a manger laid,
Jesus, Lord of Heaven and Earth
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
With us sing our Saviour's birth
Gloria, in excelsis Deo! (2x)
