O Come, O Come Emmanuel
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 Dayspring, come and cheer
our spirits by thine advent here;
And drive away the shades of night,
and pierce the clouds and bring us light!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee, O Israel!
O come, Desire of nations, bind
all peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease;
fill all the world with heaven’s peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee, O Israel!
Joy to the World
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, wonders of his love.
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.
For Christ is born of Mary,
and gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently
the wondrous gift is given;
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven!
No ear may hear his coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him still
the dear Christ enters in.
Silent Night
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.
