Once in Royal David’s City

Once in royal David's city,

Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed：
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.

He came down to earth from heaven,

Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall;
With the poor and meek and lowly,
Lived on earth our Savior holy.

Not in that poor lowly stable,

With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him, but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high;
When like stars
His children crowned,
All in white shall be around.
 The Holly and the Ivy

The holly and the ivy

When they are both full grown
Of all trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown

O, the rising of the sun

And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir

The holly bears a blossom

As white as lily flow'r
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our dear Saviour

O, the rising of the sun

And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir

The holly bears a bark

As bitter as any gall
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all
 O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in
Sweet singing in
In the choir

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.

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.

O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray.

Cast out our sin and enter in; be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel.
 O Come, All Ye Faithful

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
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord!

God of God, Light of Light

Lo, He abhors not the Virgin's womb
Very God
Begotten, not created
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord!
 Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God
All glory in the highest
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord!

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,

The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, The little lord Jesus
asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,

But little lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, And stay by my bedside
till morning is nigh.

Be near me, lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay

Close by me for ever and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there.
 Silent Night

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, and 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

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.

While Shepherd watched their flock by night

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,

all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around.

"Fear not," said he for mighty dread

had seized their troubled mind
"glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and all mankind.

"To you, in David's town, this day

is born of David's line
 a Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:

"The heavenly babe you there shall find

to human view displayed,
all simply wrapped in swaddling clothes
and in a manger laid."

Thus spoke the angel. Suddenly

appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:

"All glory be to God on high,

and to the earth be peace;
to those on whom his favor rests
goodwill shall never cease."

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! The herald angels sing

"Glory to the new-born king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
 "Glory to the new-born 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 sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born king"

Hark! The herald angels sing

"Glory to the new-born king

Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born king"
