The First Nowell
All Sing:
The First Nowell, 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
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
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
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel!
Choir Only:
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise Men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel!
Audience Joins:
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 hath bought
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel!
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.
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born.
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the new-born King;
Peace on Earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled:
Joyful all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies,
With angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the new-born King.
Christ, by highest heav’n adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord,
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of a virgin’s womb:
Veiled in flesh the God-head see,
Hail th’incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus our Emmanuel.
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the new-born King.
Hail the heav’n born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Ris’n with healing in his wings;
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of Earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the new-born King.

Audience Joins:
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation.
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, glory in the highest.
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him

Christ the Lord!
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning.

Word of the Father now in flesh appearing.

O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord!
