Silent night, holy night! All is calm, all is brightRound yon Virgin Mother and Child. Holy Infant, so tender and mild,Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace.
(Verse 2 )Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight;Glories stream from heaven afar. Heavenly hosts sing, Alleluia!Christ, the Savior, is born. Christ, the Savior, is born
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.

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.(Refrain) Gloria, in excelsis Deo. Gloria, in excelsis Deo.Come to Bethlehem and see, Him whose birth the angels sing:Come, adore on bended knee, Christ, the Lord, the newborn King.(Refrain)
O Little Town of Bethlehem
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.
For Christ is born of Mary, and, gathered all above
while mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wond’ring love.
O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the king, and peace to all the earth!Unlabeled

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
1 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, good will to all,
from heav'n's all-gracious king."
The world in solemn stillness lay
to hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come
with peaceful wings unfurled,
and still their heav'nly music floats
o'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hov'ring wing,
and ever o'er its babel sounds
the blessed angels sing.
3 And you, beneath life’s crushing load,
whose forms are bending low,
who toil along the climbing way
with painful steps and slow:
look now, for glad and golden hours
come swiftly on the wing;
oh, rest beside the weary road
and hear the angels sing!
4 For lo! The days are hast’ning on,
by prophets seen of old,
when with the ever-circling years
shall come the time foretold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendors fling,
and all the world give back the song
which now the angels sing.
The First Noel
1 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.
Refrain
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the King of Israel.
2 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. Refrain
3 And by the light of that same star
three wise men came from country far;
to seek for a king was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went. Refrain
4 This star drew near to the northwest,
o'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
and there it did both stop and stay
right over the place where Jesus lay. Refrain
5 Then entered in those wise men three,
full rev'rently upon their knee,
and offered there in his presence
their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. Refrain
