While Shepherds Watched 

(tune Lyngham)

While shepherds watched
Their flocks by night
All seated on the ground

All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
And glory shone around

Fear not, he said,
For mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind,
To you and all mankind.

To you in David's
Town this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior who isthe Lord
And this shall be the sign
And this shall be the sign.

The heavenly Babe
You there shall find
To human view displayed
And meanly wrapped
In swathing bands
And in a manger laid
And in a manger laid.

Thus spake the seraph,
And forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song
Addressed their joyful song

All glory be to
God on high
And to the earth be peace;
Goodwill henceforth
From heaven to men

Begin and never cease
Begin and never cease!

O Come All Ye Faithful

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
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

Lo, he abhors not the Virgin’s womb

Very God

Begotten not created

O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord 

Sing choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God
Glory in the highest
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord 

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger 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 you lord Jesus; look down from the sky
And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Be near me lord Jesus I ask you to stay
Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in your tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with you there.

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 angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem.

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

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the Incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus our Emmanuel.
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King.

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.
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King.
