1. 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 Him

Through His own redeeming love,

For the child so dear and gentle

Is our Lord in Heaven and above

And He leads His children on

To the place where He has gone.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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!”

7. 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 name.

Refrain:

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.

8. 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]

9. 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.

10. 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.
