SILENT NIGHT,

Silent night, Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
'Round yon Virgin Mother and Child,
Holy infant so tender and mild;
Sleep in heavenly peace,

Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,

AS WITH GLADNESS

Did the guiding star behold;
As with joy they hailed its light
Leading onward, beaming bright;
So, most gracious Lord, may we
Evermore be led to Thee!
As with joyful steps they sped),
Saviour, to Thy lowly bed;
There to bend the knee before
Thee, whom heaven and earth adore;
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek thy mercy -seat.

ONCE IN ROYAL
DAVID'S CITY
Once in Royal David's City
Stood a lowly cattle shed.
Where a mother laid her Baby
In a manger for His bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, that little Child.
LITTLE TOWN OF
BETHLEHEM
0 little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee ile.
Above thy deep and eamrnless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets 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 a •. love
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
0 morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy Birth
And praises sing of God and King,
And peace, to men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given.
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven. •
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him, still
The dear Christ enters in.
THE HOLLY AN
THE IVY
The holly and the ivy,
Now both are full well grown,
Of all the trees within the wood,
The holly bears the crown.
0 the rising of the sun,
The running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir,
Sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a blossom,
As white as any flow'r,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To be our sweet Savior.
0 the rising of the sun,
The running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir,
Sweet singing in the choir.

He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all.
And His shelter was a stable
And His cradle was a stall.
With the poor, the meek, the mild,
Lived on earth our Savior Child.
And thro' all His wond'rous childhood
He would honor and obey.
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms He lay.
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as He.
AWAY
IN A MANGER
Away in a manager, 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 side until 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.
WE WISH YOU A
MERRY CHRISTMAS

HARK! THE HERALD
ANGELS
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 angelic hosts proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Refrain:
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King."
Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of a virgin's womb,
Veil'd in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Deity.
Pleas'd as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
JINGLE BELLS
Dashing through the snow"
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go,
laughing all the way;
Bells on Bob -tail ring,.
• Making spirits bright,'
What fun it is to ride and sing
A,sleighing song tonight!
Refrain: .
Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells!
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is toride
In a one-horse open sleigh!
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
Beyohd 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.
