Angels we have heard on high 

Sweetly singing o’er the plains 

And the mountains in reply 

Echoing their joyous strains 

Angels we have heard on high 

Sweetly, sweetly through the night 

And the mountains in reply 

Echoing their brief delight 

Gloria, in excelsis Deo 

Gloria, in excelsis Deo 

Shepherds, why this jubilee? 

Why your joyous strains prolong? 

What the gladsome tidings be 

Which inspire your heavenly 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 

Yeah 

Gloria, in excelsis Deo

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 host proclaim 

Christ is born in Bethlehem 

Hark, the herald angels sing 

Glory to the newborn King 

Hail, the heav’n-born Prince of peace 

Hail! the Son of Righteousness 

Light and life to all he brings 

Risen with healing in his wings 

Mild he lays his glory by 

Born that man no more may die 

Born to raise the some of earth 

Born to give them second birth 

Hark! the herald angels sing 

Glory to the newborn King 

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 host proclaim 

Christ is born in Bethlehem 

Hark, the herald angels sing 

Glory to the newborn King

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! 

Shepherds quake at the sight! 

Glories stream from heaven afar; 

Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia! 

Christ the Savior is born! 

Christ the Savior is born! 

Christ the Savior is born! 

Silent night, holy night 

Son of God, oh, 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 

Jesus, Lord at Thy birth

The First Noel, the Angels 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. 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel 

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. 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel 

Born is the King of Israel 

Then let us all with one accord 

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord 

That hath made Heaven and earth of nought 

And with his blood mankind has bought. 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel 

Born is the King of Israel

Ding dong, ding dong 

Ding dong, ding dong 

Ding dong merrily on high 

In heaven the bells are ringing 

Ding dong, verily the sky 

Is riven with angel singing 

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis 

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis 

E’en so here below, below 

Let steeple bells be swungen 

And io, io, io 

By priest and people singing 

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis 

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis 

Pray you, dutifully prime 

Your matin chime, ye ringers 

May you beautifully rhyme 

Your eve-time song, ye singers 

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis 

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis

Come sing a song of joy 

For peace shall come my brother 

Sing, sing a song of joy 

For men shall love each other 

That day will dawn 

Just as sure 

As hearts that are pure 

Are hearts set free 

No man must stand alone 

With outstretched hand before him 

Reach out and take them in yours 

With love that endures for evermore 

Then sing a song of joy 

For love and understanding 

Come sing a song of joy 

For peace shall come my brother 

Sing, sing a song of joy 

For men shall love each other 

That day will dawn just as sure 

As hearts that are pure are hearts set free 

No man must stand alone 

With outstretched hand before him 

Reach out and take them in yours 

With love that endures for evermore 

Then sing a song of joy 

For love and understanding 

One mighty voice 

That will bring a sound 

That will ring for evermore 

Then sing a song of joy 

For love and understanding

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, 

that saved a wretch like me! 

I once was lost, but now am found, 

was blind, but now I see. 

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, 

and grace my fears relieved; 

how precious did that grace appear 

the hour I first believed! 

The Lord has promised good to me, 

his word my hope secures; 

he will my shield and portion be 

as long as life endures. 

Through many dangers, toils, and snares 

I have already come; 

‘tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, 

and grace will lead me home. 

When we’ve been there ten thousand years, 

bright shining as the sun, 

we’ve no less days to sing 

God’s praise than when we’d first begun.

Now bring us some figgy pudding 

Now bring us some figgy pudding 

And a cup of good cheer!

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 it right here!

Dashing through the snow 

In a one-horse open sleigh 

Over the fields we go 

Laughing all the way 

Bells on bobtails 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 

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 

He got into a drifted bank 

And then we got upsot 

Jingle bells, jingle bells 

Jingle all the way! 

Oh, what fun it is to ride 

In a one-horse open sleigh 

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 as there I sprawling lie 

But quickly drove away 

Jingle bells, jingle bells 

Jingle all the way! 

Oh, what fun it is to ride 

In a one-horse open sleigh

Last night I lay a-sleeping 

There came a dream so fair, 

I stood in old Jerusalem 

Beside the temple there. 

I heard the children singing, 

And ever as they sang 

Methought the voice of angels 

From heaven in answer rang, 

Methought the voice of angels 

From heaven in answer rang. 

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! 

Lift up your gates and sing, 

Hosanna in the highest! 

Hosanna to your King! 

And then methought my dream was changed, 

The streets no longer rang. 

Hushed were the glad Hosannas 

The little children sang. 

The sun grew dark with mystery, 

The morn was cold and chill, 

As the shadow of a cross arose 

Upon a lonely hill, 

As the shadow of a cross arose 

Upon a lonely hill. 

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! 

Hark! How the angels sing,  

Hosanna in the highest!  

Hosanna to your King! 

And once again the scene was changed, 

New earth there seemed to be. 

I saw the Holy City 

Beside the tideless sea. 

The light of God was on its streets, 

The gates were open wide, 

And all who would might enter, 

And no one was denied. 

No need of moon or stars by night, 

Or sun to shine by day; 

It was the new Jerusalem 

That would not pass away, 

It was the new Jerusalem 

That would not pass away. 

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! 

Sing for the night is o’er! 

Hosanna in the highest! 

Hosanna forevermore! 

Hosanna in the highest! 

Hosanna forevermore!

And makes the nations prove 

The light of His righteousness 

And wonders of His love 

And wonders of His love 

And wonders of His love 

And wonders, wonders, of His love 

And wonders, wonders, of His love 

Joy to the world, now we sing 

Let the earth receive her king 

Joy to the world, now we sing 

Let the angel voices ring
