Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
A mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie
And we’ll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing “Let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly”
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone’s dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way

Silent Night
Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant, tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
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.
Silent night, Holy night
Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glories stream from heaven above
Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah.
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.

The First Noel
Born is the king
Born is the king of Israel
The First Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields as they lay;
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the king
Born is the king of Israel
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.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the king
Born is the king
Born is the king
Born is the king of Israel

Angels We Have Heard On High
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
See Him in a manger laid,
Jesus lord of heaven and earth
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
With us sing our saviours birth all sing
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

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 the 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 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 heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris’n 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!”

O Come O Come Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, desire of nations, bind
Of people in one heart and mind
Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease
Fill the whole world with Heaven’s peace
Rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, o Israel
Rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, o Israel

Away in a Manger
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

Christmas Story
Have you ever wondered what we might see if we could pull back the
curtain of time to that very first Christmas?
Well…there was a young girl named Mary who was engaged to
a man named Joseph. He was the great-great-great-great-great
grandson of King David. One morning this girl was in her house
when a shining angel named Gabriel appeared right in front of her.
She was afraid, but Gabriel said, ”Don’t be afraid I’m here to tell you
some good news from God! Mary you are going to have a little baby,
a baby boy and you will name him Jesus! He’s the one Mary! Your
baby is going to save the world!” Mary was very excited and ran to
tell Joseph. It took Joseph some time to understand it all, but an angel
told Joseph not to be afraid, and to still take Mary as his wife and just
as the angel had told them; Mary became pregnant.
Right about that same time Mary & Joseph had to go to a town called
Bethlehem where Joseph was from so that they could be registered.
When they got to the city they tried to find a place to stay so that
Mary could have her baby. But there was no room anywhere. So
Mary and Joseph found a stable, surrounded by animals, filled with
hay and even poo!
… and that’s where Mary had her baby, the baby Jesus!
There He was, God’s wonderful gift to the world! The Bible tells us
that one of his names was Emmanuel which means “God is with us”!
On the same night that Jesus was born a brand new star appeared
in the sky and it was very bright! This new star was shining in the sky
right over the stable where Jesus was born.
13
Nearby in a field some shepherds were watching their sheep and
all of the sudden a whole bunch of angels appeared in the sky and
began to sing and shout that Jesus, God’s Son, had been born. God
must have thought that shepherds were pretty important because
He chose them to be the first to hear the news! After they heard the
angels singing “Glory to God in the Highest!” and “Peace on Earth”,
the shepherds went as fast as they could to go and find the place
where Jesus was born so that they could worship him. And that’s
what they did; they came to the stable and found Mary and Joseph
and Jesus and they fell down on their knees and worshipped him!
Far away in the East three really clever men saw the star in the
sky. They were very excited because they had been waiting for a
sign like this, to show them that the new baby King had been born.
They started travelling right away to come and find the baby so that
they could worship Him too. They rode their camels for many days
and finally came to the place where Jesus was. They brought him
beautiful gifts of gold and special spices and perfumes. They also
fell on their knees and worshipped Jesus because he was the son of
God who had come to save the world.
So that’s how God’s plan was carried out. And that is the story of
How Jesus was born into this world so that He could save us!
Jesus, the Prince of Heaven, would bring all people closer to God,
even if they did something really wrong, so that now nothing can get
between us and God’s love!
Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace and good will toward
all men!

O Holy Night
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
‘Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn’
Fall on your knees, O hear the angels’ voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord, oh praise his name forever
His pow’r and glory, ever more proclaim
His pow’r and glory, ever more proclaim
Fall on your knees, O hear the angels’ voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine
16
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.
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.
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be
All glory given;
Son of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ, the Lord

Joy to the World
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 world! The Saviour 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 and wonders of His love.
