Christmas Sing-a-Long (Lyrics)

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 host proclaim,
   "Christ is born in Bethlehem."

Hark! The herald angels sing,
   "Glory to the newborn King!"

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.

Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,

    Fa la la la la, la la la la!
'Tis the season to be jolly,
   Fa la la la la, la la la la!

Don we now our gay apparel,

   Fa la la, la la la, la la la!

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
   Fa la la la la, la la la la!

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!

The First Noel

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.

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.
