Christmas is NOT cancelled- Carol Words

Joy to the world! 

The Lord has 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 Saviour reigns:

your sweetest songs employ,

while fields and streams 

and hills and plains

repeat the sounding joy,

repeat the sounding joy,

repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

He rules the world 

with truth and grace,

and makes the nations prove

the glories of his righteousness,

the wonders of his love,

the wonders of his love,

the wonders, wonders of his love.

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 mean and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.

For he 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 feeleth for our sadness,
and he shareth in 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 is gone.

O little town of Bethlehem,

how still we see thee lie!

Above thy deep and dreamless 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.

O morning stars, together

proclaim the holy birth,

and praises sing to God the King,

and peace to men on earth:

for Christ is born of Mary;

and, gathered all above,

while mortals sleep, the angels keep

their watch of wondering love.

How silently, how silently,

the wondrous gift is giv'n!

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 Emmanuel.

Away in a manger
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
'Til 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 take us to Heaven
To live with Thee there

Silent night, holy night,

All is calm, all is bright,

round yon virgin and her child.

Holy Infant, so tender and mild,

sleep in heavenly peace,

sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night! Holy night!

Shepherds quail at the sight;

glories stream from heaven afar,

heavenly hosts sing alleluia!

Christ the Saviour is born,

Christ the Saviour is born.

Silent night! Holy night!

Son of God, love's pure light;

radiant beams thy holy face

with the dawn of saving grace,

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

The first Nowell the angel did say

was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;

in fields where they lay keeping their sheep,

on a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,

Born is the King of Israel.

They lookèd 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.

And by the light of that same star,

three wise men came from country far;

to seek a King was their intent,

and to follow the star wherever it went.

This star drew nigh to the northwest,

over Bethlehem it took its rest,

and there it did both stop and stay,

right over the place where Jesus lay.

Then entered in those wise men three,

full reverently on bended knee,

and offered there in his presence,

their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

Then let us all with one accord

sing praises to our heavenly Lord;

that hath made heaven and earth of nought,

and with his blood mankind hath bought. 

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,

all seated on the ground,

the angel of the Lord came down,

and glory shone around.

'Fear not,' said he for mighty dread

had seized their troubled mind;

'glad tidings of great joy I bring

to you and all mankind.

'To you in David's town this day

is born of David's line

a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;

and this shall be the sign:

'The heavenly babe you there shall find

to human view displayed,

all meanly wrapped in swathing bands,

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:

'All glory be to God on high,

and to the earth be peace;

good-will henceforth 

from heaven to men

begin and never cease.'

We three Kings of Orient are
bearing gifts we travel afar -
field and fountain, moor and mountain 
following yonder star

O star of wonder, star of night,
star with royal beauty bright:
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to your perfect light!

Born a king on Bethlehem's plain -
gold I bring to crown him again:
king forever, ceasing never,
over us all to reign.

Frankincense to offer have I -
incense tells of Deity nigh;
prayer and praising all are raising:
worship him - God most high!

Myrrh is mine - its bitter perfume
breathes a life of gathering gloom:
sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

Glorious now behold him arise -
king and God and sacrifice!
Heaven sings 'Alleluia!'
'Alleluia!' the earth replies.
 

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;

ve-ry God, begotten not created;

Sing, choirs of angels, 

sing in exultation,

sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above;

glory to God, glory in the highest;

Yea, Lord, we greet thee, 

born this happy morning,

Jesu, to thee be glory given;

Word of the Father, 

now in flesh appearing;

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 th' angelic host proclaim,
'Christ is born in Bethlehem.'
 
Hark the herald angels sing
glory to the new-born King.
 
Christ, by highest heav'n adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
late in time behold him come,
offspring of a Virgin's womb:
veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail th' incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus our Emmanuel.

 Hark the herald angels sing
glory to the new-born King.

Hail the heav'n-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.

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 tails 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

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year
We all like our figgy pudding
We all…
