Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o'er the plains, And the mountains in reply, echoing their joyous strains.

Chorus:

Gloria in excelsis Deo, gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo, alleluia!

Shepherds, why this jubilee? why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be which inspire your cheerful song?

Chorus:

Gloria in excelsis Deo, gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo, alleluia!

Come to Bethlehem and see him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Chorus:

Gloria in excelsis Deo, gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo, alleluia!

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 bright sky looked down where 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 from the sky, And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay, For Jesus Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day; The dawn rose red o'er Bethlehem, the stars shone in the sky, The angels sang their carols sweet, and all the world was nigh.

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God our Heavenly Father, a blessèd angel came, And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same; How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God most high, To save us all from Satan's power when we were doomed to die.

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

Now to the Lord sing praises, all you within this place, For Jesus Christ our Savior has brought to us His grace; Goodwill this night is proclaimed to all of mankind dear, For unto us a Child is born, to us a Son is giv'n.

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! 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 th' angelic host proclaim, "Christ is born in Bethlehem!"

Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!"

Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold him come, off'spring of a virgin's womb.

Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled
