Christmas Caroling

 

1. Angels We Have Heard On High

VERSE 1

Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains

And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains

CHORUS

Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria in excelsis Deo

VERSE 2

Shepherds why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heavenly song

VERSE 3

Come to Bethlehem and see

Christ whose birth the angels sing

Come adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord the newborn King

2. Go Tell It On The Mountain

CHORUS

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and ev'rywhere

Go tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ is born

verse 1

While shepherds kept their watching

O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens

There shone a holy light

verse 2

The shepherds feared and trembled

When lo above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed the Savior's birth

verse 3

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born

And God sent us salvation

That blessed Christmas morn

3. Hark The Herald Angels Sing (Mendelssohn)

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 the’angelic hosts proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King

verse 3

Christ by highest heav'n adored

Christ the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come

Offspring of the Virgin's womb

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

4. It Came Upon The Midnight Clear

It came upon the midnight clear

That glorious song of old
From angels bending near

the earth to touch their harps of gold

Peace on the earth good will to men

From heaven's all gracious King

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing

verse 3

And ye beneath life's crushing load

Whose forms are bending low

Who toil along the climbing way

With painful steps and slow

Look now for glad and golden hours

Come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing

verse 5

Yet with the woes of sin and strife

The world has suffered long

Beneath the angel strain have rolled

Two thousand years of wrong

And man at war with man hears not

The love song which they bring
O hush the noise ye men of strife

And hear the angels sing

5. 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 world 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 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

6. Silent Night (Stille Nacht)

verse 1

Noche de paz, noche de amor
Todo duerme alrededor
Entre los astros que esparcen su luz
Bella, anunciando al niño Jesús
Brilla la estrella de paz
Brilla la estrella de amor

Verse 1

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

verse 3

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

7. What Child Is This?

verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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
