Amoy in A Manger
Away in a manger,
No crib fora bed,
The little Lord Jesus.
Laid down His sweet head.
The stat's in' the bright sky'
Look 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 side
Until morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me for ever,
And love me, ',pray.
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven
To live with Thee there.
15 0 Little Ti(avo of Bethlehem
O little town of Bethlehem,
How still, we see thee liel
Above tit y deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark st 'vets shineth
The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary;
And, gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watelt of-wondering love..
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
0 Holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in;
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.
Angels We Have Heard On High
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in -reply,
Echoing their joyous strains.

Bear the joyful tidings,

Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the n ew-born 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 as Mari with , man to dwell.
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace,
Hail, the , son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings. '
Mild He lays. His glory by;
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.

The First Noel
The first Noel the angel did saY
Was to ceifaiii poor shepherdS in -fields
as they lay;
In fields where they lay a-keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
(Refrain)
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is fhe King of Israel.
They ,look-ed up and saw a star
Shinging in the east, beyond them far;
And to .the earth it gave grekt light,
And so it continued both day and night.
iq‘appy carolers raise their
voices to add a cheery
Christmas note.. It's
full or good wishes and
spirited hopes that this Yule
is the best ever for all of you!
A,nd by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for' a Xing was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it 'went.
Then let.uS all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That bath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with His blood mankind bath bought.

Till •earth's remotest bound
Shall hear the mighty, c onus,
And echo back- the ound.
Carol, sweetly carol,
As when the angel throng
O'er the vales of Judah
Awoke the heavenly song;

Good-will and peace and love,
Glory in the highest
To God Who reigns above.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav'bly song?

Him Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the new-born King.

17 Hark! The Herald Angels Sidg
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born 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."
13- It. Came Upon The Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch' their harps of gold.
"Peace on the earth, good-will to men
From heaven's all-gracious King!"
The world in soletim stillness lay
Jo hear the angels sing.
But with .the woes of sin and strife ,
The world has suffered long:
Beneath the angel strain, have rolled
Two thouland years of wrong;
And man, at war ,with man, hears not
The love song which they bring;
0 hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing.
And ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way,
With painful steps and slowe
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
0 rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing.
The Holly and The Ivy 5
14 God Rest Yon Merry, Gentlemen
The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
The holly' bears the crown.
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.

To save 'us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.

From God, otir heavenly Father,
A blessed angel came;
And unto certain, shepherds ,
Brought tidifigs. of the same;
How that in Beth lehem was born
The Son of God by Name. Jingle Bells
In Bethlehem, in Jewry,
This blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manger;
Upon this blessed morn.
To which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn.
(Refrain)
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The' playing of the merry organ ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a blossom
As white as any flower,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To be our sweet Saviour.
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoic-ed much in mind,'
And left their flocks a-feeding,
In tempest, storm and wind;
And went to Bethlehem straightway,
The. Son of God to find.
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true live and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other loth deface.
Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go laughing all the way,
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
(Refrain)
Bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a'one-horse open sleigh.
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To do poor sinners good.
