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 divine, O night divine!

Led by the light of serenely beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand So led by the 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 is no stranger Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!

Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!

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! O praise His name forever!

His power and glory evermore proclaim!

His power and glory evermore proclaim!

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 thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray Bless all the dear children in thy tender care And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER Rudolph the red nose reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it You would even say it glowed 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 all the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, You’ll go down in history!”
