  MELODY OF CHRIST BIRTH

  1. O COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL

  John F. Wade, 1743

  O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!

  O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!

  Come and behold him, born the King of angels;

  Refrain:

  O come, let us adore him,

  O come, let us adore him,

  O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord!

  God of God, Light of Light eternal,

  lo, he abhors not the virgin’s womb;

  Son of the Father, begotten, not created; [Refrain]

  Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,

  Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above:

  “Glory to God, all glory in the highest!” [Refrain]

  Yea, Lord; we greet thee, born this happy morning;

  Jesus, to thee be all glory given;

  Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; [Refrain]

  2. 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!"

  Christ, by highest heav'n adored:

  Christ, the everlasting Lord;

  Late in time behold him come,

  Offspring of the favored one.

  Veil'd in flesh, the Godhead see;

  Hail, th'incarnate Deity:

  Pleased, as man, with men to dwell,

  Jesus, our Emmanuel!

  Hark! the herald angels sing,

  "Glory to the newborn King!"

  Hail! the heav'n 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.

  Hark! the herald angels sing,

  "Glory to the newborn King!”

  3. JINGLE BELLS

  Dashing through the snow

  On 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 laugh and sing

  A sleighing song tonight

  Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

  Jingle all the way

  Oh, what fun it is to ride

  In a one horse open sleigh

  Jingle bells, jingle bells

  Jingle all the way

  Oh, what fun it is to ride

  In a one horse open sleigh

  A day or two ago,

  I thought I'd take a ride,

  And soon Miss Fanny Bright

  Was seated by my side;

  The horse was lean and lank

  Misfortune seemed his lot

  We got into a drifted bank,

  And then we got upsot.

  Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

  Jingle all the way

  Oh, what fun it is to ride

  In a one horse open sleigh

  Jingle bells, jingle bells

  Jingle all the way

  Oh, what fun it is to ride

  In a one horse open sleigh

  Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,

  Jingle all the way!

  Oh, what fun it is to ride

  In a one horse open sleigh.

  Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,

  Jingle all the way!

  Oh, what fun it is to ride

  In a one horse open sleigh.

  Now the ground is white

  Go it while you're young

  Take the girls tonight

  And sing this sleighing song

  Just get a bob tailed bay

  Two-forty as his speed

  Hitch him to an open sleigh

  And crack! You’ll take the lead

  Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,

  Jingle all the way!

  Oh, what fun it is to ride

  In a one horse open sleigh.

  Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,

  Jingle all the way!

  Oh, what fun it is to ride

  In a one horse open sleigh.

  4. SILENT NIGHT

  By Franz Xaver Gruber , 1818

  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,

  Sleep in heavenly peace

  Silent night, holy night!

  Shepherds quake at the sight.

  Glories stream from heaven afar

  Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,

  Christ the Savior is born!

  Christ the Savior is born

  Silent night, holy night!

  Son of God love's pure light.

  Radiant beams from Thy holy face

  With dawn of redeeming grace,

  Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

  Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

  5. 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, her little child.

  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, and meek, and lowly

  Lived on earth our Savior holy.

  Jesus is our childhood’s pattern,

  Day by day like us he grew;

  He was little, weak, and helpless,

  Tears and smiles like us he knew:

  And he feels for all our sadness,

  And he shares in all our gladness.

  And our eyes at last shall see him,

  Through his own redeeming love,

  For that child, so dear and gentle,

  Is our Lord in heaven above:

  And he leads his children on

  To the place where he has gone.

  Not in that poor lowly stable

  With the oxen standing by

  We shall see him, but in heaven,

  Set at God’s right hand on high;

  There his children gather round,

  Bright like stars, with glory crowned.

  6. JOY TO THE WORLD

  By Isaac Watts, 1719

  Joy to the world, the Lord is come!

  Let earth receive her King;

  Let every heart prepare Him room,

  And Heaven and nature sing,

  And Heaven and nature sing,

  And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

  Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!

  Let men their songs employ;

  While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains

  Repeat the sounding joy,

  Repeat the sounding joy,

  Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

  No more let sins and sorrows grow,

  Nor thorns infest the ground;

  He comes to make His blessings flow

  Far as the curse is found,

  Far as the curse is found,

  Far as, far as, the curse is found.

  He rules the world with truth and grace,

  And makes the nations prove

  The glories of His righteousness,

  And wonders of His love,

  And wonders of His love,

  And wonders, wonders, of His love.

  7. WONDERFUL STORY OF LOVE

  By John M. Driver, 1892

  Wonderful story of love;

  Tell it to me again;

  Wonderful story of love;

  Wake the immortal strain!

  Angels with rapture announce it,

  Shepherds with wonder receive it;

  Sinner, oh, won’t you believe it?

  Wonderful story of love.

  Refrain:

  Wonderful! Wonderful!

  Wonderful, wonderful story of love.

  Wonderful story of love;

  Though you are far away;

  Wonderful story of love;

  Still He doth call today;

  Calling from Calvary’s mountain,

  Down from the crystal-bright fountain,

  E’en from the dawn of creation,

  Wonderful story of love. {Refrain}

  Wonderful story of love;

  Jesus provides a rest;

  Wonderful story of love;

  For all the pure and blest,

  Rest in those mansions above us,

  With those who’ve gone on before us,

  Singing the rapturous chorus,

  Wonderful story of love. {Refrain}
