Venite, venite in Bethlehem.

Venite, adoremus Dominum.Verse 2
O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye

Come and behold him,
Born the King of angels.

O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him:
Christ the Lord.Verse 3
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above.

All glory in the highest.

Christ the Lord.Verse 4
Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning.

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night

Verse 1
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 shone around.Verse 2
"Fear not," said he,
For mighty dread had seized their troubled mind.
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and humankind,
To you and humankind."Verse 3
"To you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign,
And this shall be the sign:"Verse 4
"The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands
And in a manger laid,
And in a manger laid."Verse 5
Thus spoke the seraph
And forthwith appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God on high,
Who thus addressed their song,
Who thus addressed their song:Verse 6
"All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good will henceforth from heaven to earth
Begin and never cease,
Begin and never cease."

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Verse 1
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.Verse 2
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to all on earth.Verse 3
How silently, how silently
This wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him,
Still the dear Christ enters in.Verse 4
O holy child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray!
Cast out our sin and enter un;
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels,
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.

Away In A Manger

Verse 1
Away in a manger,
no crib for his bed,
The little Lord Jesus
lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky
looked down where he lay;
The little Lord Jesus
asleep on the hay.Verse 2
The cattle are lowing,
the baby awakes;
But little Lord Jesus,
no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus,
look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
till morning is nigh.Verse 3
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.

Joy to the World

Verse 1
Joy to the world!
The Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and heaven
And nature sing.Verse 2
Joy to the world!
The Saviour reigns;
Let us our songs employ.
While fields and floods,
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.Verse 3
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, and wonders
Of his love.
