Yfie First Nod
The first Noel
The angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In field where they lay
In fields as they lay
Keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter night
That was so deep.
A Holly jolly
Cfiristmas

HH m
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.
Tfie Cfiristmas Story
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Ev’rybody knows a turkey
and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa’s on the way;
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on
his sleigh.
And ev’ry mother’s child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two;
Although it’s been said many times,
many ways,
“Merry Christmas to you.”
God Rest You
Merry Gentlemen
God rest you merry gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ your Saviour
To save us all from Satan’s power
When we were gone astray.
Refrain:
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and
joy.
0 tidings of comfort and joy.
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place.
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas■ All other doth efface.
___ _______________________________
Have a holly jolly Christmas;
It’s the best time of the year.
I don’t know if there’ll be snow,
but have a cup of cheer.
Have a holly jolly Christmas,
And when you walk down the street,
Say hello to friends you know
and ev’ryone you meet.
Oh, ho, the mistletoe
hung where you can see;
Somebody waits for you;
Kiss her once for me.
Have a holly jolly Christmas,
and in case you didn’t hear,
Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly
Christmas this year.
Oh, ho, the mistletoe
hung where you can see;
Somebody waits for you;
Kiss her once for me.
Have a holly jolly Christmas,
and in case you didn’t hear.
Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly
Christmas this year.

We Three Kimjs
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts; we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
Refrain:
A star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect light.
Solo [Melchoir]
Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.
Solo [Caspar]
Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
Worship Him, God most High.
Solo [Balthazar]
Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, singing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice;
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Earth to the heavens replies.
O Holy Niyfit
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!
0 night divine! O night, O night divine!
Led by the light of Faith serenly 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!
