The First Noel
The first Noel
The angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields where they lay
In fields as they lay
Keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter night
That was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
They look - ed up
And saw a Star,
Shining in the East
Beyond them far,
And to the earth,
It gave a great light,
And so it continued
Both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Tell it on the
Mountain
When I was a seeker,
I sought both night and day,
I sought the Lord to help me,
and He showed me the way,
Oh! Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born!
He made me a watchman
upon the city wall,
And if I am a Christian,
I am the least of all.
Oh! Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born!
Huron Carol
Twas in the moon of wintertime
When all the birds had fled
That mighty Gitchi Manitou
Sent angel choirs instead
Before their light the stars grew dim
And wond'ring hunters heard the hymn
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.
Within a lodge of broken bark
The tender babe was found
A ragged robe of rabbit skin
Enwrapped His beauty round
But as the hunter braves drew near
The angel son rang loud and clear
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.
O children of the forest free
O sons of Manitou
The Holy Child of earth and heaven
Is born today for you
Come kneel before the radiant boy
Who brings you beauty, peace and joy
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.
O Christmas
Tree
(O Tannenbaum)
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are your branches!
Your boughs are green in summer's clime
And through the snows of winter time.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are your branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
What happiness befalls me
When oft at joyous Christmastime
Your form inspires my song and rhyme,
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
What happiness befalls me.
O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can teach a lesson
That constant faith
and hope sublime
Lend strength and comfort
through all time.
O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can
teach a lesson.

SEASON'S GREETINGS AND BEST WISHES

O Holy
Night
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 appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
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!
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
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!
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!
