Caroling Song #2 | God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen
God rest you merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan’s pow’r
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
From God our Heav’nly 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
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Fear not then, said the Angel
Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Savior
Of a pure Virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan’s pow’r and might
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and charity
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christ___mas
Is filled with Heav’nly grace
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Caroling Song #3 | 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 th’ angelic host proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem.”
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new-born King!
Christ, by highest heaven adored:
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of the Virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see;
Hail, th’incarnate Deity:
Pleased, as man, with us to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new-born King!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new-born King!
Caroling Song #4 | What Child Is This/Child of the Poor
[Women’s Verse]
What child is this
Who laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet
With anthems sweet
While shepherds watch
Are keeping
[Men’s Verse]
Helpless and hungry
Lowly, afraid
Wrapped in the chill of mid-winter
Comes now among us
Born into poverty’s embrace
New life for the world
[All]
Who is this who lives with the lowly
Sharing their sorrows
Knowing their hunger
This is Christ revealed to the world
In the eyes of a child
A child of the poor
[Women and Men repeat their verses but sing together]
[Then, Women sing this Refrain from What Child is This…]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the Son of Mary
[While Men sing this Refrain from Child of the Poor]
Who is this who lives with the lowly
Sharing their sorrows
Knowing their hunger
This is Christ revealed to the world
In the eyes of a child
A child of the poor
Caroling Song #5 | Christmas In Our Hearts
Whenever I see girls and boys selling lanterns on the street
I remember the child in the manger as He sleeps
Wherever there are people giving gifts exchanging cards
I believe that Christmas is truly in their hearts
So light our Christmas trees for a bright tomorrow
where nations are at peace and all are on in God
Let’s sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday
this season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus
let Him be the one to guide us
as another new year starts
and may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts
In every pray’r and every song, the community unites
celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ
let love light that starlight on that first Christmas morn
lead us back to the manger where Christ the child was born
So come let us rejoice, come sing a Christmas carol
with one big joyful voice proclaim the name of the Lord
Let’s sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday
this season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus
let Him be the one to guide us
as another new year starts
and may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts
Let’s sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday
this season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus
let Him be the one to guide us
as another new year starts
and may the spirit of Christmas be al___ways___ in___ our___ hearts
Caroling Song #6 | It’s Christmas Medley
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
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 ’til morning is nigh
It’s Christmas
The angels are singing
And I know the reason
The Savior is born
It’s Christmas
The bells are ringing
And I feel like shouting
Joy to the world
Be near me, Lord Jesus I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
And bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there
It’s Christmas
The angels are singing
And I know the reason
The Savior is born
Yes, it’s Christmas
The bells are ringing
And I feel like shouting
Joy to the world
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born
It’s Christmas
The angels are singing
And I know the reason
The Savior is born
Yes, it’s Christmas
The bells are ringing
And I feel like shouting
Joy to the world
Joy to the world
Oh, joy to the world

Preparation of the Gifts | Night of Silence/Silent Night
[Men will hum “Silent Night” during verses of “Night of Silence”]
Verses
Cold are the people,
Winter of life,
We tremble in shadows this cold endless night,
Frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping,
Flowers that will echo the sunrise,
Fire of hope is our only warmth,
Weary, its flame will be dying soon.
Voice in the distance,
Call in the night,
On wind you enfold us you speak of the light,
Gentle on the ear you whisper softly,
Rumors of a dawn so embracing,
Breathless love awaits darkened souls,
Soon will we know of the morning.
[All will sing “Silent Night”]
Silent night
Holy night
All is come
All is bright
Round yon Virgin mother and child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep in Heavenly peace
