Carols in the Park

[Verse 1]
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.

[Verse 2]
Sing choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God in the Highest

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

[Verse 3]
Yea Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
Jesus to Thee be all glory giv’n
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing

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

[Verse 1]

The First Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields as they lay;
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

[Chorus]

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

[Verse 2]

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.

[Chorus]

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

[Verse 3]

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;
That hath made heaven and earth of naught,
And with his blood mankind hath bought

[Chorus]

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

[Chorus]
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh – HEY!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.

[Verse 1]
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

[Chorus]
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh – HEY!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.

[Verse 1]
Come, oh come one and all
To Bethlehem’s stable, to Bethlehem’s stall
The star, it beams on this sight
The father in heaven sent us this glorious light.

[Chorus]
More lovely than the angels
Than the stars, this holy child!
Lying here before us, sent here for us Jesus Christ!

[Verse 2]
Come, oh come one and all
The shepherds are kneeling, bowing before him in awe
Angels sing from above
Mary and Joseph smile at their baby with love

[Chorus x 2]
More lovely than the angels
Than the stars, this holy child!
Lying here before us, sent here for us Jesus Christ!

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
This, this is Christ, the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

[Verse 2]
Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.

[Chorus]

Nails, spear shall pierce him through
The cross be borne for me, for you
Hail, hail the word made flesh
The Babe the Son of Mary
 

[Verse 3]
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king to own Him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

[Chorus]
Raise, raise the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary

[Chorus]
This, this is Christ, the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

[Verse 1]
O come O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

[Verse 2]
O come Thou Dayspring from on high
And cause Thy light on us to rise
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadow put to flight

[Chorus 1]
Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel

[Verse 3]
O come O come true prophet of the Lord
And turn the key to heaven’s door
Be Thou our comforter and guide
And lead us to the Father’s side

[Chorus 2]
Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Shall by His Word our darkness dispel

[Verse 4]
O come our great High Priest and intercede
Thy sacrifice our only plea
The judgment we no longer fear
Thy precious blood has brought us near

[Chorus 3]
Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Has banished every fear of hell

[Verse 5]
O Come Thou King of nations bring
An end to all our suffering
Bid every pain and sorrow cease
And reign now as our Prince of Peace

[Chorus 4]
Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel

Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come again with us to dwell

[Verse 1]
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright 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 side until 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 take us to heaven to live with Thee there.

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing ‘Alleluia!
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born

[Verse 3]
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

[Verse 1]
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
For Jesus 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
God rest ye 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

[Chorus]
Gloria In Excelsis Deo
Gloria In Excelsis Deo

[Verse 1]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

[Chorus]
Gloria In Excelsis Deo
Gloria In Excelsis Deo

[Verse 2]
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King

[Chorus]
Gloria In Excelsis Deo
Gloria In Excelsis Deo

[Verse 3]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

[Chorus]
Gloria In Excelsis Deo
Gloria In Excelsis Deo

[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 earth, the Saviour reigns!
Let men their 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, wonders of His love

[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 wond’ring love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.

[Verse 3]
How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is giv’n.
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heav’n.
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 in
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!

[Verse 1]
When I think upon Christmas, words can’t express
How our Father in heaven has sent us His best
To be born in a manger, the King in the hay
And creation will worship His name

[Chorus 1]
For the joy of the world He was born
Bringing peace to us all through the gift of the Son
Now the darkest of ages are done
For the Saviour of heaven has come

[Verse 2]
When I think upon Jesus, the King of all days
I can’t help but respond with an off’ring of praise
Like the wise men and shepherds, I’ll follow Your light
Like the angels, I’ll lift Your name high

[Chorus 2]
For the joy of the world You were born
Bringing peace to us all through the gift of Your love
Now the darkest of ages are done
For the Saviour of heaven has come

[Interlude]

[Chorus 2]
For the joy of the world You were born
Bringing peace to us all through the gift of Your love
Now the darkest of ages are done
For the Saviour of heaven has come

[Verse 3]
Now I look back in rev’rence to that holy night
For the God of the heavens had us on His mind
Let us sing of His glory, rejoice in His name
Oh, Emmanuel with us always
And forever His kingdom will reign

[Verse 1]
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
‘Til He appears and the Soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees; O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

[Verse 2]
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the Wise Men from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend

[Verse 3]
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim

[Chorus]

Fall on your knees; O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

[Verse 1]
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 angelic hosts proclaim:
“Christ is born in Bethlehem”
Hark! the herald angels sing:
“Glory to the newborn King!”

[Verse 2]
Christ by highest Heav’n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of the virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! the herald angels sing:
“Glory to the newborn King!”

[Verse 3]
Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son 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 newborn King!”
