Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of Righteousness

Born to give them second birth
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King

Do You Hear What I Hear?
Verse 1
Said the night wind to the little lamb
“Do you see what I see?” (Do you see what I see?)
Way up in the sky, little lamb
“Do you see what I see?” (Do you see what I see?)
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Verse 2
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
“Do you hear what I hear?” (Do you hear what I hear?)
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
“Do you hear what I hear?” (Do you hear what I hear?)
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Verse 3
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
“Do you know what I know?” (Do you know what I know?)
In your palace warm, mighty king
“Do you know what I know?” (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
Verse 4
Said the king to the people everywhere
“Listen to what I say!” (Listen to what I say!)
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
“Listen to what I say!” (Listen to what I say!)
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love Thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh

Be near me Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there

O Holy Night
Verse 1
O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Chorus 1
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night O holy night
O night divine
Verse 2
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise men from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our Friend
Chorus 2
He knows our need
To weakness is no stranger
Behold your King
Before Him lowly bend
Behold your King
Before Him lowly bend
Verse 3
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Chorus 3
Christ is the Lord
O praise His name forever
His power and glory
Evermore proclaim
His power and glory
Evermore proclaim
Ending
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

Go Tell it on a Mountain
Verse 1
While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the Earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour's birth

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
On that blessed Christmas morn

Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

I was a lonely seeker
I sought both night and day
I asked the Lord to help me
And he showed me the way

He made me a watchman
Upon a city wall
And if I am a Christian
I am the least of all

So I say go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
