Joyous Carols of Christmas

Ding dong! Merrily on high in heaven the bells are ringing.

Ding dong! Verily the sky is riven with angels singing.

Glo-------ria, Glo-------ria, Glo-------ria. Hosanna in excelsis. 2x

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,

All seated on the ground (2x)

An angel of the Lord came down

And glo-------ry.

Glory, glory, glory and glory shone around! (2x)

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 host proclame, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

Hark the herald angel’s sing. “Glory to the newborn King!”

King of kings! Lord of lords! Prince of peace! The Everlasting God!

Joy to the world! The Lord is come, Let earth receive her King.

Let every heart prepare Him room

And heaven and nature sing (3x)

Joy to the earth the Savior reigns. Let men their songs employ.

While fields and floods, rock, hills and plains,

Repeat the sounding joy (3x)

He rules the world with truth and grace and makes the nations prove

The glory of His righteousness

And wonders of His love (3x)

Joy to the world for Christ the Lord is born!

Let there be Light! Let there be Light!

And there was Light!
