Come All Ye Faithful

1. Oh, come, all ye faithful,

        Joyful and triumphant!

        Oh, come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem.

        Come and behold him,

        Born the King of angels;

        Oh, come, let us adore him;

        Oh, come, let us adore him;

        Oh, come, let us adore him,

        Christ, the Lord.

     2. — Sing, choirs of angels,

        Sing in exultation;

        — Sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above!

        Glory to God,

        Glory in the highest;

        Oh, come, let us adore him;

        Oh, come, let us adore him;

        Oh, come, let us adore him,

        Christ, the Lord.

     3. — Yea, Lord, we greet thee,

        Born this happy morning;

        — Jesus, to thee be all glory giv’n.

        Son of the Father,

        Now in flesh appearing;

        Oh, come, let us adore him;

        Oh, come, let us adore him;

        Oh, come, let us adore him,

        Christ, the Lord.

Joy to the World

1. Joy to the world, the Lord is come;

        Let earth receive her King!

        Let ev’ry heart prepare him room,

        And Saints and angels sing,

        And Saints and angels sing,

        And Saints, and Saints and angels sing.

     2. Rejoice! Rejoice when Jesus reigns,

        And Saints their songs employ,

        While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains

        Repeat the sounding joy,

        Repeat the sounding joy,

        Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

     3. No more will sin and sorrow grow,

        Nor thorns infest the ground;

        He’ll come and make the blessings flow

        Far as the curse was found,

        Far as the curse was found,

        Far as, far as the curse was found.

     4. Rejoice! Rejoice in the Most High,

        While Israel spreads abroad

        Like stars that glitter in the sky,

        And ever worship God,

        And ever worship God,

        And ever, and ever worship God.

Silent Night

3. 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.
