O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL (LET US ADORE)
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, O come, O come
Let us adore Him, Christ the Lord
This is the light of the world we've been waiting for
Come bow before Him, a Saviour is born
Let us adore Him, adore Him, Christ the Lord
Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above
Oh, glory to God, glory in the highest
O come, O come, O come
Let us adore Him, Christ the Lord
This is the light of the world we've been waiting for
Come bow before Him, a Saviour is born
Let us adore Him, adore Him, Christ the Lord
Christ the Lord
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born that happy morning
Jesus, to Thee be all glory given
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing
O come, O come, O come
Let us adore Him, Christ the Lord
This is the light of the world we've been waiting for
Come bow before Him, a Saviour is born
Let us adore Him, adore Him, Christ the Lord

The Birth of Jesus
1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
Luke 2: 1 - 7

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see you lie!
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by:
yet in your dark streets shining
is everlasting light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in you tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary;
and, gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the 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.
O 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 Immanuel.

The angels appear to the shepherds
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields near by, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.’
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favour rests.’
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.’
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

THE FIRST NOËL
The first Noël the angel did say
was to certain 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
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël,
born is the king of Israël!
They looked up and saw a star
shining in the east beyond them far
and to the earth it gave great light
and so it continued both day and night
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël,
born is the king of Israël!
This star drew nigh to the Northwest
o’er Bethlehem it took it’s rest
and there it did both stop and stay
right over the place where Jesus lay
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël,
born is the king of Israël!
Then let us all with one accord
sing praises to our heavenly Lord
for Christ has our salvation wrought
and with his blood our life has bought
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël,
born is the king of Israël!

SILENT NIGHT
(CHRIST THE SAVIOUR IS BORN)
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 streaming from Heaven a-far;
Heavenly host singing “Alleluia!
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the Saviour,
Christ the Saviour is born.
Peace and hope have come
through Jesus Christ, the Son.
Silent night! Holy night
God's great love - giving life
Let the world together rejoice,
sing forever with one voice,
“Heaven's hope is here,
Heaven's hope is here.”
Christ the Saviour,
Christ the Saviour is born.
Peace and hope have come
through Jesus Christ, the Son.
Silent night! Holy night!
Son of God, Love's pure light:
radiant beams from Thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.
Jesus, Lord at Thy Birth

HARK! THE HERALD-ANGELS SING
Hark! the herald-angels sing
‘Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled’
Joyful, all you nations rise
join the triumph of the skies
with the angelic host proclaim
‘Christ is born in Bethlehem!’
Hark! the herald-angels sing
‘Glory to the new-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 man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Immanuel
Hark! the herald-angels sing
‘Glory to the new-born King!’
Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace
Hail, the Sun 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 new-born King!’
