ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart and soul and voice;
Once in Royal David's City Now ye hear of endless bliss:
Stood a lowly cattle shed, Joy! Joy!
Where a mother laid her baby Jesus Christ was born for this!
In a manger for his bed; He has opened the heavenly door,
Mary was that mother mild, And man is blest for evermore.
Jesus Christ her little child. Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!
He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all, Good Christian men, rejoice,
And his shelter was a stable, With heart and soul and voice;
And his cradle was a stall; Now ye need not fear the grave:
With the poor and mean and lowly Peace! Peace!
Lived on earth our Saviour holy. Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all,
And through all his wondrous childhood To gain His everlasting hall.
He would honour and obey, Christ was born to save!
Love and watch the lowly maiden, Christ was born to save!
In whose gentle arms he lay.
Christian children all must be, SEE AMID THE WINTER'S SNOW
Mild, obedient, good as he.
See amid the winter's snow,
And our eyes at last shall see him, Born for us on earth below,
Through his own redeeming love, See the tender lamb appears,
For that child so dear and gentle Promised from eternal years.
Is our Lord in Heaven above. Hail! Thou ever blessed morn.
And he leads his children on Hail! Redemption's happy dawn.
To the place where he is gone. Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Lo, within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies;
GOOD CHRISTIAN MEN, REJOICE He, who throned in height sublime,
Sits amid the Cherubim.
Good Christian men, rejoice Hail! Thou ever blessed morn.
with heart and soul, and voice; Hail! Redemption's happy dawn.
Give ye heed to what we say: Sing through all Jerusalem,
News! News! Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Jesus Christ is born today;
Ox and ass before Him bow; Teach, O teach us, Holy Child,
And He is in the manger now. By thy face so meek and mild,
Christ is born today! Teach us to resemble Thee,
Christ is born today! In thy sweet humility.
Hail! Thou ever blessed morn.
Hail! Redemption's happy dawn.
Sing through all Jerusalem,

WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
1. While Shepherds watch their flocks by night While mortals sleep, the angels keep
All seated on the ground Their watch of wondering love
The angel of the Lord came down O morning stars together
And glory shone around Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
2. "Fear not," said he for mighty dread And Peace to men on earth
Had seized their troubled mind
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring How silently, how silently
To you and all man-‐kind" The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
3. "To you in David's town this day The blessings of His heaven.
Is born of David's line No ear may His coming,
The Saviour who is Christ the Lord But in this world of sin,
And this shall be the sign Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
4. The heav'nly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed Oh holy Child of Bethlehem
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands Descend to us, we pray
And in a manger laid. Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
5. Thus spake the seraph and forthwith We hear the Christmas angels
Appeared a shining throng The great glad tidings tell
Of angels praising God who thus O come to us, abide with us
Addressed their joyful song Our Lord Emmanuel.

6. "All glory be to God on high
And on the earth be peace SILENT NIGHT
Goodwill henceforth from heav'n to men
Begin and never cease" Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child.
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Oh little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie Silent night, holy night,
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep Shepherds quake at the sight;
The silent stars go by Glories stream from heaven afar,
Yet in thy dark streets shineth Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
The everlasting Light Christ the Saviour is born,
The hopes and fears of all the years Christ the Saviour is born!
Are met in thee tonight
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.

COVENTRY CAROL The holly and the ivy
Now both are full well grown,
Lully Lullay, Thou little tiny Child, Of all the trees that are in the wood,
Bye, bye, Lullay, Lullay. The holly bears the crown.
Lullay, thou little tiny Child, O the rising of the sun
Bye, bye, Lully Lullay. And the running of the deer

For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we sing
Bye, bye, Lully Lullay.
ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY

Charged he hath this day 1. Angels from the realms of glory,
His men of might, in his own sight, Wing your flight o’er all the earth;
All young children to slay. Ye who sang creation’s story
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth.
Then woe is me, poor Child for Thee! Come and worship,
And ever mourn and sigh, Christ, the newborn King.
For thy parting neither say nor sing, Come and worship,
Bye, bye, Lully Lullay. Worship Christ, the newborn King.

THE HOLLY AND THE IVY 2. Shepherds, in the field abiding,
Watching o’er your flocks by night,
The holly and the ivy God with us is now residing;
When they are both full grown Yonder shines the infant light:
Of all the trees that are in the wood Come and worship,
The holly bears the crown Christ, the newborn King.
O the rising of the sun Come and worship,
And the running of the deer Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Sweet singing of the choir 3. Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
The holly bears a blossom Seek the great Desire of nations;
As white as lily flower Ye have seen His natal star.
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ Come and worship,
To be our sweet Saviour Christ, the newborn King.
Sweet singing of the choir 7. All creation, join in praising
God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
The holly bears a berry Evermore your voices raising
As red as any blood To th’eternal Three in One.
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ Come and worship,
To do poor sinners good Christ, the newborn King.
Sweet singing of the choir

Strike the harp and join the chorus. In a one-‐horse open sleigh,
Fa-‐la-‐la-‐la-‐la, la-‐la-‐la-‐la He laughed as there I sprawling lie,
Follow me in merry measure. But quickly drove away.

Making spirits bright Glory to God, all glory in the highest;
What fun it is to laugh and sing O come, let us adore Him
A sleighing song tonight O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

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,
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the new-‐born King.

Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
Late in time behold him come
Offspring of a virgin’s womb!
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail the incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus our Emmanuel.
Glory to the new-‐born King.

Hail the heaven-‐born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son 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.
Glory to the new-‐born King
