ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY

 

I

Angels from the realms of glory,

Wing your flight o'er all the earth

Ye who sang creations story,

Now proclaim messiah's birth

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ the new-born king

I I

Shepherds in the field abiding,

Watching oe'r your flocks by night

God with man is now residing,

Yonder shines the infant light.

Repeat Chorus

I I I

Sages leave your contemplations,

Brighter visions beam afar.

Seek the great desire of nations,

Ye have seen his natal star.

Repeat Chorus

I V

Saints before the altar bending,

Watching long in hope and fear

Suddenly the Lord descending

In his temple shall appear.

ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

 

I

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strain.

CHORUS:

G-l-o-o-o-o-r-i-a in excel sis Deo.

G-l-o-o-o-o-r-i-a in excel sis Deo.

II

Shepherds why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your joyous song.

III

Come to Bethlehem , and see

Him whose birth the angels sing

Come adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

IV

See Him in a manger laid

Whom the choirs of angels praise

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid

While our hearts in love we raise.

AWAY IN A MANGER

 

I

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 in the hay.

II

The cattle are lowing the baby awakes

But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes

I love Thee Lord Jesus, look down from the sky

And stay by my side, until morning is nigh.

III

Be near me Lord Jesus

I ask Thee to stay

Close by me for ever

and love me I pray

Bless all the dear children

in Thy tender care

And fit us for Heaven

to live with Thee there.

BRING A TORCH JEANETTE, ISABELLA

 

I

Bring a torch Jeanette, Isabella

Bring a torch, to the cradle run

It is Jesus, good folks of the village

Christ is born

And Mary's calling

Ah, Ah, beautiful is the Mother.

Ah, Ah, beautiful is Her Son.

II

It is wrong when the Child is sleeping

It is wrong to talk so loud

Silence, all as you gather around

Lest your noise

Should waken Jesus

Hush, Hush, s-e-e how fast He slumbers

Hush, Hush, s-e-e how fast he sleeps.

III

Softly to the little stable

Softly for a moment come

Look and see how bright and charming is Jesus

His cheeks are dusky

Hush, Hush, see how the Child is sleeping

Hush, Hush, see how He smiles in dreams.

CAROL OF THE BELLS

 

 

Hark how the bells,

sweet silver bells,

all seem to say,

throw cares away

 

Christmas is here,

bringing good cheer,

to young and old,

meek and the bold.

 

Ding dong ding dong

that is their song

with joyful ring

all caroling.

 

One seems to hear

words of good cheer

from everywhere

filling the air.

 

Oh how they pound,

raising the sound,

o'er hill and dale,

telling their tale.

 

Gaily they ring

while people sing

songs of good cheer,

Christmas is here.

 

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.

 

On on they send,

on without end,

their joyful tone

to every home.

 

Ding, dong, ding... dong!

COME, COME TO THE MANGER

 


CHORUS:

Come, Come, Come to the manger

Children come to the children's King

Sing, sing, chorus of Angels

Stars of morning o'er Bethlehem sing.

He lies 'mid the beasts of the stall

Who is Maker and Lord of us all

The wintry wind blows cold and dreary

See, He weeps, the world is weary

Lord have pity and mercy on me.

II

He leaves all His glory behind

To be born and to die for mankind

With grateful beasts, His cradle chooses

Thankless man, His love refuses

Lord, have pity and mercy on me

III

To the manger of Bethlehem come

To the Savior Emmanuel's home

The heavenly hosts above are singing

Set the Christmas bells a-ringing

Lord, have pity and mercy on me.

Let nothing you dismay

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

When I was a seeker

I sought both night and day,

I asked the Lord to help me,

And he showed me the way.

Our Jesus Christ is born.

Upon a city wall,

And if I am a Christian,

I am the least of all.

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR

 

I

It came upon the midnight clear

That glorious song of old

From Angels bending near the earth

To touch their harps of gold

Peace on the earth, Goodwill to men

From heaven's all gracious king

To hear the Angels sing

Still through the cloven skies they come

With peaceful wings unfurled

And still their heavenly music floats

Over all the weary world

Above its sad and lowly plains

They bend on hovering wings

And ever o'er its Babel sounds

I WONDER AS I WANDER

 


I wonder as I wander out under the sky

How Jesus the Saviour did come for to die

For poor on'ry people like you and like I;

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

 

When Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a cow's stall

With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all

But high from God's heaven, a star's light did fall

And the promise of ages it then did recall.

 

If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing

A star in the sky or a bird on the wing

Or all of God's Angels in heaven to sing

He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King

 

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

How Jesus the Saviour did come for to die

For poor on'ry people like you and like I;

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains

And make the nations prove

The glories of his righteous mercy

And wonders of his love

MARY'S BOY CHILD

 


I

Long time ago in Bethlehem

So the Holy Bible say

Mary's Boy Child, Jesus Christ

Was born on Christmas Day

Hark, now hear the angels sing

"New King's born today

And man will live forevermore

Because of Christmas Day."

II

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

They saw a bright new shining star

And heard a choir from heaven sing

The music came from afar

Hark, now hear the angels sing,

"New King's born today

And man will live forevermore

Because of Christmas Day."

III

Now Joseph and his wife Mary

Came to Bethlehem that night

They found no place to bear her Child

Not a single room was in sight

By and by they found a little nook

In a stable all forlorn

And in a manger cold and dark

Mary's little Boy Child was born

Trumpets sound and angels sing

Listen to what they say

That man will live forevermore

Because of Christmas Day.

O HOLY NIGHT

 

J.S.Dwight & A.C.Adam, 19th Century

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;

It is the night of our dear Savior's birth!

Long lay the world in sin and error pining,

Till 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 angel voices!

O night divine,

O night when Christ was born!

O night divine, O night,

O night divine!

I I

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,

With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,

Here came the wise men from Orient land.

The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger,

In all our trials born to be our Friend!

He knows our need,

To our weakness no stranger;

Behold your King!

Before the lowly bend!

Behold your King! your King!

before Him bend.

I I I

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 evermore proclaim

His pow'r and glory

evermore proclaim.

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

Yet in thy dark streets shineth,

While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love

Proclaim the holy birth

And praises sing to God the King

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

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 Savior Holy.

THE FIRST NOEL

The first Noel 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.

CHORUS:

Born is the King of Israel

They look-ed up, and they saw a star

That shone in the east beyond them afar

And which to earth did give a great light

And so it continued by day and by night.

And by the light of that same star

Three wisemen came from country far

To seek for a King was their intent

And to follow the star where ever it went.

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord

That made both heaven and earth of nought

And with His blood, mankind was bought.

WHAT CHILD IS THIS

 

 

William Chatterton Dix, published ca. 1865

 

What Child is this, who laid to rest,

On Mary's lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary.

 

Why lies He in such mean estate

Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, fear: for sinners here,

The silent Word is pleading.

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary.

 

Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,

The Cross be borne, for me, for you:

Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary.

 

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;

Come peasant, king to own Him.

The King of Kings salvation brings;

Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary.

 

Raise, raise, the song on high,

The Virgin sings her lullaby:

Joy joy for Christ is born,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary.

JINGLE BELLS (James Pierpont - 1857)

 


I

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

Through the fields we go

Laughing all the way.

Bells on bob-tail ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh, O

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh.

I I

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 ran into a drifted bank

And there we got upsot.

I I I

A day or two ago

The story I must tell

I went out on the snow

And on my back I fell;

A gent was riding by

In a one-horse open sleigh

He laughed at me as

I there sprawling laid

But quickly drove away.

I V

Now the ground is white,

Go it while you're young,

Take the girls along

And sing this sleighing song.

Just bet a bob-tailed bay,

Two-forty as his speed,

Hitch him to an open sleigh

and crack! You'll take the lead.

Sits amid the cherubim.

What your joyful news today;
Wherefore have ye left your sheep
On the lonely mountain steep?

Told us of the Saviour's birth".

Down to such a world as this.

SILVER BELLS

 

 

City sidewalks,

Busy sidewalks

Dressed in holiday style

In the air there's a feeling

of Christmas

 

Children laughing

People passing

Meeting smile after smile

And on every street corner

Even stop lights

Blink a bright red and green

As the shoppers rush Home

with their treasures

See the kids bunch

And above all this bustle

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Chorus

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;

Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.

II

Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;

Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;

Oh, bring us a figgy pudding

and a cup of good cheer.

III

We won't go until we get some;

We won't go until we get some;

We won't go until we get some,

so bring some out here.

IV

We wish you a Merry Christmas;

We wish you a Merry Christmas;

We wish you a Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year.
