  • 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

    Joy to the Earth, the Savior reigns
    Let all their songs employ
    While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
    Repeat the sounding joy
    Repeat the sounding joy
    Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

    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 of His love (and wonders of His love)
    And wonders, wonders of His love

    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 nature sing (and Heaven and nature sing)
    And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing
    And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing

    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 nature sing (and Heaven and nature sing)
    And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing
    And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing

  • 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
    Gloria in excelsis Deo

    Shepherds, why this jubilee?
    Why your joyous strains prolong?
    Say what may the tidings be
    Which inspire your heavenly song

    Gloria in excelsis Deo
    Gloria in excelsis Deo

    Come to Bethlehem and see
    Him Whose birth the angels sing
    Come, adore on bended knee
    Christ the Lord, the newborn King

  • 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 lamb 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 a song on high
    The virgin sings her lullaby
    Joy, joy for Christ is born
    The Babe, the Son of Mary

  • O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
    It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
    Long lay the world in sin and error pining
    'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
    A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
    For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
    Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices
    O night divine, O night when Christ was born

    Humbly He lay, Creator come as creature
    Born on the floor of a hay-scattered stall
    True Son of God yet bearing human feature
    He entered earth to reverse Adam's fall
    In towering grace, He laid aside His glory
    And in our place, was sacrificed for sin
    Fall on your knees, O hear the gospel story
    O night divine, O night when Christ was born

    Come then to Him who lies within the manger
    With joyful shepherds proclaim Him as Lord
    Let not the Promised Son remain a stranger
    In reverent worship, make Christ your adored
    Eternal life is theirs who will receive Him
    With grace and peace, their lives He will adorn
    Fall on your knees, receive the Gift of heaven
    O night divine, O night when Christ was born
    O night, O holy night when Christ was born

  • Silent night, holy night
    All is calm, all is bright
    Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
    Holy Infant so tender and mild
    Sleep in heavenly peace
    Sleep in heavenly peace

    Silent night, holy night
    Shepherds quake at the sight
    Glories stream from heaven afar
    Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
    Christ the Savior is born
    Christ the Savior is born

    Silent night, holy night
    Son of God, love's pure light
    Radiant beams from Thy holy face
    With the dawn of redeeming grace
    Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
    Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
