Oh 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
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
The morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
The morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth
.
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
‘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
Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing, “Alleluia”
Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born
.
REPEAT 1ST VERSE
.
O Holy Night
.
O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
‘Til He appears and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
.
(Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine!) REPEAT
.
What child is this
.
What child is this, who, laid to restOn Mary’s lap is sleeping?Whom angels greet with anthems sweetWhile shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the KingWhom shepherds guard and angels singHaste, haste to bring him laudThe babe, the son of Mary
.
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrhCome, peasant, king, to own himThe King of kings salvation bringsLet loving hearts enthrone him
This, this is Christ the KingWhom shepherds guard and angels singHaste, haste to bring him laudThe babe, the son of Mary

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel, Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer, Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death’s dark shadows put to flight
