Christmas, December 25

Lyrics

The First Noel

Verse 1

The first Noel the angel 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

Chorus

Noel Noel Noel Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Verse 2

They looked up and saw a star

Shining in the east beyond them far

And to the earth it gave great light

And so it continued both day and night

Verse 3

This star drew nigh to the northwest

O'er Bethlehem it took its rest

And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where Jesus lay

Hark The Herald Angels Sing

Verse 1

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 hosts proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Verse 2

Christ by highest heav'n adored

Christ the everlasting Lord

Late in time behold Him come

Offspring of the Virgin's womb

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see

Hail th'incarnate Dei-ty

Pleased as man with men to dwell

Jesus our Emmanu-el

Hark the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Verse 3

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace

Hail the Sun 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

Angels We Have Heard On High

Verse 1

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plains

And the mountains in re - ply

Echoing their joyous strains

CHORUS

Glo - o - o - o - o - o - o ri - a

In ex - cel - sis De - o

Glo - o - o - o - o - o - o ri - a

In ex - cel - sis De - o

Verse 2

Shepherds why this ju-bi-lee

Why your joyous strains pro-long

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heavenly song

Verse 3

Come to Bethle-hem and see

Christ whose birth the angels sing

Come adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord the newborn King

Joy To The World

 Verse 1

Joy to the world the Lord is come

Let earth receive her King

Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room

And heav'n and nature sing

And heav'n and nature sing

And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing

Verse 2

Joy to the earth the Savior reigns

Let men their songs employ

While fields and floods

Rocks hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat repeat the sounding joy

Verse 3

No more let sins and sorrows grow

Nor thorns infest the ground

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found

Far as the curse is found

Far as far as the curse is found

Verse 4

He rules the world with truth and grace

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness

And wonders of His love

And wonders of His love

And wonders wonders of His love
