Sing choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
O sing all ye citizens of heav'n above
Glory to God
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

Lux venit lux venit
Lux venit sursum corda
Lux venit lux venit arise
Shine for your light has come
By sword by flame
in death solemn ages passed
And voices young
Grow old weary
Holding fast
Hope for the dawning
Lux venit lux venit
Lux venit sursum corda
Lux venit lux venit arise
Shine for your light has come
In grace in might
The babe lay in stable stark
Redemptions's light
Pierces through the shadows dark
Alleluia
Lux venit lux venit
Sursum corda
Lux venit lux venit arise
Shine for your light has come
Lux venit lux venit
Lux venit sursum corda
Lux venit lux venit arise
Shine for your light has come
Alleluia
Lux venit: "The light has come"
Sursum corda: "look upwards hearts"

Words: Gloria Gaither
Music: Michael W. Smith
In the space of the beginning
Was the living Word of Light
When this Word was clearly spoken
All that came to be was right
All creation had a language
Words to say what must be said
All day long the heavens whispered
Signing words in scarlet red
Some failed to understand it
So God spoke His final Word
On a silent night in Judah's
Hills a baby's cry was heard
"Glory!" sang the angel chorus
"Glory!" echoed back the night
Love has come to walk among us
Christ the Lord is born this night
All creation sing His praises
Earth and heaven praise His name
All who live come join the chorus
Find the words His love proclaim
Find the words His love proclaim

No eye had seen
No ear had heard
'Til hosts on high
Proclaimed the birth
And heav'n brough down
(Quietly with no one watching)
Its only child
(From the womb of perfect peace)
The son of man
(Wellspring of our joy delivered)
The world reconciled
(Into earthly destiny)
And song broke forth
Angelic strain
And none could help
But sing the name
Emmanuel
(Kyrie eleison we sing)
Emmanuel
(Glory to the newborn King)
Emmanuel
(Mortal and immortal voices)
Emmanuel
(Endless praises echoing)

The Voice
Follow the footsteps
Or travel down your own road
Designing your fate
Hear what your heart says
Still you decide which way to go
Your life's an open gate
(CHORUS)
'Le bon et 'le mal
These are the voices
We nous somme liberti'
We make the choices
Echoes of laughter
Dancing in distant corridors
With the tears of hearts undone
Dreams we chase after
Give us the key to any door
We are what we become
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Holding and reaching
We face the calm, we face the fear
As we learn to win and love
Voices and speaking
Still we hear what we want to hear
Our life is ours to choose
Chorus
Good King Wenceslaus
Good King Wenceslaus looked out on the feast of Stephen.
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even.
Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel.
Hither page and stand by me if thou knowst it telling
Yonder peasant, who is he, where and what his dwelling?
Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain,
Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes' fountain.
Bring me flesh and bring me wine, bring me pinelogs hither
Thou and I will see him dine when we bear them thither
Page and monarch forth they went, forth they went together
Through the rude winds wild lament, and the bitter weather.
Sire the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer.
Mark my footsteps my good page, tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter's rage freeze thy blood less coldly.
In his master's steps he trod where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed
Therefore Christian men be sure, wealth or rank possessing,
Ye who now will bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing.
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyus strains
Gloria O Gloria in excelsis Deo (x4)
Come to Bethlehem and see
(Gloria O sing Gloria)
Him whose birth the angels sing
(Gloria O sing Gloria)
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn king
Gloria O Gloria in excelsis Deo (x4)
Angels we have heard on high
(Gloria O sing Gloria)
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
(Gloria O sing Gloria)
Jesus Lord of heav'n and earth
With us sing our Savior's birth
Gloria O Gloria in exelsis Deo (x8)
Alleluia

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 Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour 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 "

Oh the happiest Christmas
Is a homecoming Christmas
With the snow fluttering down 'til the world seems new
(chorus)
Bright candles burning
Old friends returning
The wishes of children coming true
And the happiest wishes are just old fashioned wishes
May your days be merry, your sorrows be small
May the ones you love be near you
That's the happiest Christmas of all
repeat chorus

(chorus)
Jingle bells, Jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, Hey!
Jingle bells, Jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
On Dasher, On Dancer, On Prancer, On Vixen
On Comet, On Cupid, On Donner, On Blitzen
Put on your bells, your Christmas bells
Come on, we're going for a sleigh ride
Christmas time is here again
Come on, we're going for a sleigh ride
To spread good cheer again
From the top of the chimney to the top of the wall
Dash away, dash away, dash away, all
repeat chorus
Old Saint Nickolas, he took a flight
The moon was shining bright
Bring out the bells
Ol' Saint Nick was riding through the sky
You should have seen those reindeer fly
Bring out the bells; it's a holiday season
Bring out the bells, it's a happy time
Bring out the bells, we've got a good reason
To ring the bells and hear those pretty bells chime
repeat chorus

Ring Christmas bells
Ring them loud with the message bringing
Peace on the earth
Tidings of good cheer
Come carolers
Come and join with the angels singing
Joy to the world
Christmas time is here again
Children gather around and listen
You'll hear the sound
Of angels filling the sky
Telling everyone
Christmas time is here
Ring Christmas bells
Ring them loud with the message bringing
Peace on the earth
Tidings of good cheer
Come carolers
Come and join with the angels singing
Joy to the world
Christmas time is here again
Loved ones close to our hearts
and strangers in lands afar
Together share in the joy
Emmanuel
To tell the world
He has come to dwell
The time is near
With one voice
Let the world rejoice
Christmas time is here
Ring Christmas bells
Ring them loud with the message bringing
Peace on the earth
Tidings of good cheer
Come carolers
Come and join with the angels singing
Joy to the world
Christmas time is here again
Children gather around and listen
You'll hear the sound
Of angels filling the sky
It's Christmas time is here again

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child
Welcome Holy Child
Hope that you don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But long awaited Holy Stranger
Make yourself at home
Please make yourself at home
Bring your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
World now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world
Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for them
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born
So wrap our injured flesh around You
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son of God
Welcome to our world

Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your New Year's dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too!
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
Frosted window panes
(See them gleaming)
Candles gleaming inside (with the snow)
Painted candy canes
(See them showing)
On the tree
Just look and you'll see
Santa's on his way
(That's why sleigh bells are ringing)
He's filled his sleigh
(And that's why were all singing)
With Things
Things for you and for me
It's that time of year
(Time for falling)
When the world falls in love
(So in love)
Every song you hear
(Happy song)
Seems to say
Merry Christmas
(May all)
May your New Year's dreams come true
(May may all come true)
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
(You and yours)
The same thing too!

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looking down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
(instrumental)
Child in the manger, Infant of Mary
Outcast and stranger, Lord of all
Child who inherits
All our transgressions
All our demerits on Him fall
Once the most holy
Child of salvation
Gentle and lowly
Now as our glorious Mighty Redeemer
See Him victorious
O'er each foe
(instrumental)
Prophets fortold Him
Infant of wonder
Angels behold Him On His throne
Worthy our Savior
Of all our praises
Happy forever
Are His own
. . .

Carols sing to the King
Jesus Christ our Savior
Born this day, angels say
In a lowly manger
He came down to the earth
Bringing us new birth
Carols sing to the King
Jesus Christ our Savior
Tidings bring!
Hail the King
Shepherds did adore Him
From afar, by the star
Wise men sought and found Him
Son of God Son of man
All in all I see
Carols raise His name praise
He shall reign eternally
Carols sing to the King
Jesus Christ our Savior
