Christmas Carols on the Green 2017

1. The First NoelThe first Noel the angel did sayWas to certain poor shepherds infields as they layIn fields where they lay keeping their sheepOn a cold winter’s nightThat was so deep.Noel, Noel, Noel, NoelBorn is the King of Israel.They looked up and saw a starShining in the east beyond them farAnd to Earth it gave great lightAnd so it continued both day

and night.Noel, Noel, Noel, NoelBorn is the King of Israel.And by the light of that same starThree wise men came from country farTo seek for a King was their intentAnd to follow that star wherever it went.Noel, Noel, Noel, NoelBorn is the King of Israel

2. Once in Royal David’s CitySolo:Once in royal David’s city,Stood a lowly cattle shed,Where a mother laid her baby,In a manger for His bed.Mary was that mother mild,Jesus Christ her little child.

All: He came down to Earth from Heaven,Who is God and Lord of all,And His shelter was a stable,And His cradle was a stall.With the poor, and meek, and lowly,Lived on Earth our Saviour holy.

And our eyes at last shall see HimThrough His own redeeming love,For the child so dear and gentleIs our Lord in Heaven and aboveAnd He leads His children onTo the place where He has gone.

3. While Shepherds WatchedWhile shepherds watched Their flocks by night All seated on the ground The angel of the Lord came down And glory shone around.Fear not, said He, (for mighty dread had seized their troubled minds) Glad tidings of great joy I bring to you and all mankind, to you and all mankind.

To you in David’s town this day Is born of David’s line The Saviour who is Christ the Lord And this shall be the sign.The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed And meanly wrapped in swaddling cloths And in a manger laid.

4. Away in a MangerAway in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.I love you, Lord Jesus,

look down from the sky. And stay by my bedside till morning is nigh.Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask You to stay Close by me forever and love me I pray.Bless all the dear children in Your tender care, And lead us to Heaven to live with You there.

5. Joy to the WorldJoy to the World , the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.Joy to the World, the Saviour 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.

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 NightSilent night, Holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin, mother and child Holy infant, tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.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.

Silent night, Holy night Shepherds quake, at the sight Glories stream from Heaven above Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia. Christ the Saviour is born, Christ the Saviour is born.

7. Hark the Herald Angels SingHark! 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 proclaim: “Christ is born in Bethlehem” Hark! The herald angels sing “Glory to the newborn 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 with us in flesh to dwell Jesus, our Emmanuel Hark! The herald angels sing “Glory to the newborn King!”Hail the Heav’n-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 we 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!”

8. Calypso CarolSee Him lying on a bed of straw; A draughty stable with an open door Mary cradling the babe she bore; The Prince of Glory is His nameRefrain: Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem To see the Lord appear to men; Just as poor as was the stable then, The Prince of Glory when He came.Star of silver sweep across the skies, Show where Jesus in the manger lies. Shepherds swiftly from your stupor rise To see the Saviour of the world

[Refrain]Angels, sing again the song You sang, Bring God’s glory to the heart of man; Sing that Bethlehem little baby can Be salvation to the soul.[Refrain]Mine are riches from Thy poverty, From Thine innocence, eternity; Mine, forgiveness by Thy death for me, Child of sorrow for my joy.

9. O Come All Ye FaithfulO Come All Ye Faithful Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem. Come and behold Him, Born the King of Angels;Refrain: O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.O Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation, Sing all ye citizens of Heaven above Glory to God Glory in the highest

[Refrain]Yea, Lord, we greet Thee Born on Christmas morning Jesus, to Thee be glory given Word of the Father now in the flesh appearing:[Refrain]

10. Te HarinuiNot on a snowy night By star or candlelight Nor by an angel band There came to our dear land Te Harinui, Te Harinui Te Harinui, Glad tidings of great joy.But on a summer day Within a quiet bay The Māori people heard The great and glorious word Te Harinui, Te Harinui Te Harinui, glad tidings of great joy.

The people gathered round Upon the grassy ground And heard the preacher say I bring to you this day Te Harinui, Te Harinui Te Harinui , glad tidings of great joy.Now in this blessed land United heart and hand We praise the glorious birth And sing to all the earth Te Harinui, Te Harinui Te Harinui, glad tidings of great joy.

11. Jingle BellsDashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtails ring’ Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight!

Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh! what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh! what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

12. Tūtira mai ngā iwiTūtira mai ngā iwi Tātou tātou e Tūtira mai ngā iwi Tātou tātou e Whai-a te marama-tanga me te aroha e ngā iwi!

Ki-a ko-tapa tahi Ki-a ko-tahi rā Tātou tātou e Tā-tou tā-tou e E! Hi aue hei!
