Christmas Carols – Bathurst Presbyterian Church

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

God of God, Light of Light
Lo he abhors not the virgin’s womb
Very God, begotten not created

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
All 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 giv’n
Word 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

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! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, O Branch of Jesse, free
Your own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of hell your people save
And give them victory over the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel

O come, O Bright and Morning Star
And bring us comfort from afar
Dispel the shadows of the night
and turn our darkness into light
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel

Come thou Long-expected Jesus

Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee
Israel’s strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart

Born Thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring
By Thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By Thine all sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne

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

How silently how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His Heaven

No ear may hear His calling
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in

O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today

We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

Glory, Glory be to Jesus

In a stable down in Bethlehem
Jesus Christ was born
In a stable down in Bethlehem
Jesus Christ was born
In a stable down in Bethlehem
Jesus Christ was born
The King and the Saviour and the Lord of Lords

Glory, Glory be to Jesus
Glory, Glory be to Jesus
Glory, Glory be to Jesus
The King and the Saviour and the Lord of Lords

First Nowell

The first Nowell 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
Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell
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
Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell
Born is the King of Israel

This star drew nigh 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
Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell
Born is the King of Israel

Silent Night

Silent night holy night
All is calm all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child
Holy Infant so 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
Wondrous star lend thy light
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born

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

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

What Child is This?

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
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
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
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary

Nails, spear shall pierce Him through
The cross He’ll bear for me, for you
Hail, hail the Word made flesh
The babe, the son of Mary

First Nowell (reprise)

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That has made heaven and earth of nought
And with His blood our life has bought
Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell
Born is the King of Israel

Angels we have Heard on High

Angels we have heard on high
Singing sweetly o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Shepherds why this jubilee
Why these joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song

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

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Angels from the Realms of Glory

Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight o’er all the earth
You who sang creation’s story
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth

Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King

Sages leave your contemplations
Brighter visions beam afar
Seek the great desire of nations
You have seen His natal star

Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King

All creation join in praising
God the Father Spirit Son
Evermore your voices raising
To the eternal Three in One

Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King

Ding Dong Merrily on High

Ding dong merrily on high
In heaven the bells are ringing
Ding dong verily the sky
Is filled with angels singing

Gloria!
Hosanna in the highest!

Ev’n so here below, below
God’s Son has come from heaven
And to Calvary He’ll go
Our Saviour has been given

Gloria!
Hosanna in the highest!

Ding dong merrily on high
Come join the celebration
Ding dong verily the cry
Will rise from every nation

Gloria!
Hosanna in the highest!
Gloria!
Hosanna in the highest!

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 th’angelic hosts 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 the Virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail th’incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with men 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 Sun 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

Joy to the World

Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room
And heav’n and nature sing
And heav’n and nature sing
And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing

Joy to the earth the Savior 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

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 wonders of His love
