God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan’s power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came;
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by Name.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay,
They found Him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;
His Mother Mary kneeling down,
Unto the Lord did pray.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

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 thorn
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

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….. (HOLD)
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
CHOIR Interlude: Come Jesus! Come Jesus! Come Jesus! Come Jesus!
SOLO: Set us Free! Let us rescue you.
Rule in every heart!
Oh! Israel’s strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every long——ing… heart! Joy of every longing, every long——ing heart!
CHOIR: Come thou long expected Jesus! SOLO: Come thou long expected Jesus!

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around… And glory shown around.
“To you, in David’s town, this day
Is born of David’s line
A Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign. And this shall be the sign:
MODULATE
“The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All neatly wrapped in swaddling bands
And in a manger laid… And in a manger lay…there.”
INTERLUDE
All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good will hence forth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease.” Begin and never cease… (Hold)
All glory be to God on high!
All honour be to God on High! Alleluia!
All glory be! All honour be! All Glory be…to GOD.
All glory be……
To God!

Oh holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth! (PAUSE)

Long lay the world…in sin and error pining
‘Till he appeared…and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope….the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

CHORUS:
Fall …on your knees
Oh hear… the angel voices
Oh night …divine;
Oh night …when Christ was born
Oh – night…divine
Oh – night…when Christ was born.

Oh – Oh hear…..the angel voices.
Oh-Oh-Oh night
Oh-Holy night… when Christ was born

Oh and Fall …on your knees
Oh hear… the angel voices
Oh night …divine
Oh night …when Christ was born.

Oh – night…divine
Oh night…Oh night…
Oh night…when Christ was born….
Oh holy night…Oh…Holy Night.
