PART 1 Carols

1. Mary's Boy Child

(chorus)

Long time ago in Bethlehem,So the Holy Bible say,Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,Was born on Christmas Day,Hark, now hear the angels sing,

A newborn King today, And man will live forevermore,Because of Christmas day.Trumpets sound and angels sing,Listen to what they say,That Man will live forever more,Because of Christmas Day.

(verse 1)While shepherds watched their flocks bynight,They saw a bright new shining star,They heard a choir sing,The music seemed to come from afar,

(verse 2)Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary,Come to Bethlehem that night,They found no place to bear her child,Not a single room was in sight.

(verse 3)By and by, they find a little nook,In a stable all forlorn,

And in a manger cold and dark,Mary's little Boy was born!

(end song with a full repeat of chorus)

2. The First Noel

The first Noel the angel did sayWas to certain poor shepherds in fields asthey lay;In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep,

On a cold winter's night that was so deep.Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star

Shining in the east beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

And by the light of that same starThree wise men came from country far;To seek for a king was their intent,

And to follow the star wherever it went.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

4. Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb,"Do you see what I see?Way up in the sky, little lamb,

Do you see what I see? A star, a star, dancing in the nightWith a tail as big as a kite,With a tail as big as a kite."

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,"Do you hear what I hear?Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,Do you hear what I hear?

A song, a song high above the treesWith a voice as big as the the sea,

With a voice as big as the the sea."

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,"Do you know what I know?In your palace warm, mighty king,Do you know what I know?

A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--Let us bring him silver and gold,Let us bring him silver and gold."

Said the king to the people everywhere,

"Listen to what I say!Pray for peace, people, everywhere,Listen to what I say!The Child, the Child sleeping in the nightHe will bring us goodness and light,He will bring us goodness and light."

5. Away in a Manger

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweethead.

The stars in the bright sky looked downwhere 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 fromthe sky,

And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Be near me Lord Jesus,

I ask thee to stay.Close by me forever, And love me I pray.

6. Te Harinui

Not on a snowy nightBy star or candlelightNor by an angel bandThere came to our dear land

Te HarinuiTe HarinuiTe Hari-nu-i

Glad tid-ings of great joy

But on a summer dayWithin a quiet bayThe Maori people heardThe great and glorious word



The people gathered roundUpon the grassy ground

And heard the preacher sayI bring to you this day






Now in this blessed landUnited heart and handWe praise the glorious birth

And sing to all the earth



7. When a Child is born

A ray of hope flickers in the sky A tiny star lights up way up high All across the land dawns a brand newmornThis comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seasThe winds of change whisper in the trees

And the walls of doubt crumble tossedand tornThis comes to pass, when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around You got the feel, you're on solid groundFor a spell or two no one seems forlornThis comes to pass, when a child is born

8. Little Donkey

Little donkey, little donkeyOn the dusty roadGot to keep on plodding onwardsWith your precious load.

Been a long time, little donkey

Through the winter's night

Don't give up now, little donkeyBethlehem's in sight.

Chorus Ring out those bells tonight

Bethlehem, BethlehemFollow that star tonightBethlehem, Bethlehem.

Little donkey, little donkeyHad a heavy dayLittle donkeyCarry Mary safely on her way.

Little donkey, little donkeyOn the dusty road

There are wise men waiting for aSign to bring them here.

Do not falter, little donkeyThere's a star aheadIt will guide you, little donkeyTo a cattle shed.

Chorus Ring out those bells tonightBethlehem, Bethlehem

Follow that star tonightBethlehem, Bethlehem.

9. Oh Holy Night

Oh holy night!The stars are brightly shiningIt is the night of the dear Saviour's birth!Long lay the world in sin and error piningTill he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and gloriousmorn!

Fall on your kneesOh hear the angel voicesOh night divineOh night when Christ was bornOh night divineOh night divine

Led by the light of Faith serenely beamingWith glowing hearts by His cradle westandSo led by light of a star sweetly gleaming




Here come the wise men from Orient landThe King of Kings lay thus in lowly mangerIn all our trials born to be our friend.

10. Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem,How still we see thee lie!

Above thy deep and dreamless sleepThe silent stars go by;

Yet in thy dark streets shinethThe everlasting Light;The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee to-night.

For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above,While mortals sleep, the angels keepTheir watch of wondering love.O morning stars, togetherProclaim the holy birth!

And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently,

The wondrous gift is given!So God imparts to human heartsThe blessings of his heaven.No ear may hear his coming,But in this world of sin,Where meek souls will receive him, stillThe dear Christ enters in.

Where children pure and happyPray to the blessed Child,Where misery cries out to thee,Son of the mother mild;Where charity stands watching

And faith holds wide the door,The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,

And Christmas comes once more.

O holy Child of Bethlehem!Descend to us, we pray;Cast out our sin and enter in,Be born in us to-day.We hear the Christmas angelsThe great glad tidings tell;O come to us, abide with us,Our Lord Emmanuel!

11. Silent Night

Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is brightRound 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,Heavely hosts sing alleluia;Christ the Saviour, is born!Christ the Saviour, is born!

Silent night, holy night,Son of God, love's pure lightRadiant beams from thy holy face,With the dawn of redeeming grace,Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
