Welcome

Once in Royal David’s City
Join in at home
Solo All
Once in royal David’s city And through all His wondrous childhood
Stood a lowly cattle shed, He would honour and obey,
Where a mother laid her baby Love and watch the lowly maiden,
In a manger for His bed: In whose gentle arms He lay;
Mary was that mother mild, Christian children all must be
Jesus Christ her little child. Mild, obedient, good as He.
All All
He came down to earth from Heaven Not in that poor lowly stable,
Who is God and Lord of all, With the oxen standing by,
And His shelter was a stable, We shall see Him – but in Heaven,
And His cradle was a stall: Set at God’s right hand on high;
With the poor, and mean, and lowly, When like stars His children crowned
Lived on earth our Saviour holy. All in white shall wait around.

A Politically Correct Christmas
Chris Tarrant
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
Join in at home
God rest ye merry, gentlemen, The shepherds at those tidings
Let nothing you dismay, Rejoiced much in mind,
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour And left their flocks a-feeding,
Was born on Christmas day, In tempest, storm and wind,
To save us all from Satan’s power, And went to Bethlehem straightway
When we were gone astray, This blessed babe to find:
O tidings of comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy, Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our Heavenly Father Now to the Lord sing praises,
A blessed angel came, All you within this place,
And unto certain shepherds And with true love and brotherhood
Brought tidings of the same, Each other now embrace;
How that in Bethlehem was born This holy tide of Christmas
The Son of God by name: All other doth deface:
O tidings of comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy, Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy

Ring Out Loud Bells
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Suki WaterhouseIt came upon the Midnight Clear
Join in at home
It came upon the midnight clear, Yet with the woes of sin and strife
That glorious song of old, The world has suffered long;
From angels bending near the earth Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
To touch their harps of gold: Two thousand years of wrong;
“Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, And man, at war with man, hears not
From heaven’s all gracious King!” The love song which they bring;
The world in solemn stillness lay O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
To hear the angels sing. And hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come, For lo! the days are hastening on,
With peaceful wings unfurled; By prophet bards foretold,
And still their heavenly music floats When with the ever-circling years
O’er all the weary world: Comes round the age of gold,
Above its sad and lowly plains When peace shall over all the earth
They bend on hovering wing, Its ancient splendours fling,
And ever o’er its Babel sounds And the whole world give back the song
The blessed angels sing. Which now the angels sing.

O Come, all ye Faithful
Join in at home
O come, all ye faithful, O come, let us adore Him,
Joyful and triumphant. O come, let us adore Him,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; O come, let us adore Him,
Come and behold Him, Christ the Lord!
Born the King of angels; Sing choirs of angels,
O come, let us adore Him, Sing in exultation
O come, let us adore Him, Sing all ye citizens of Heav’n above;
O come, let us adore Him, ‘Glory to God
Christ the Lord! In the highest.’
God of God, O come, let us adore Him,
Light of Light, O come, let us adore Him,
Lo! He abhors not the Virgin’s womb; O come, let us adore Him,
Very God, Begotten not created; Christ the Lord!

Hark! The Herald Angels sing
Join in at home
Hark! The herald angels sing Hail the incarnate Deity!
Glory to the new-born King; Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Peace on earth and mercy mild, Jesus, our Emmanuel.
God and sinners reconciled: Hark! The herald angels sing
Joyful all ye nations rise, Glory to the new-born King.
Join the triumph of the skies, Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
With the angelic host proclaim, Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Christ is born in Bethlehem. Light and life to all He brings,
Hark! The herald angels sing Risen with healing in His wings;
Glory to the new-born King. Mild He lays his glory by,
Christ, by highest Heaven adored, Born that man no more may die,
Christ, the everlasting Lord, Born to raise the sons of earth,
Late in time behold Him come Born to give them second birth.
Offspring of a Virgin’s womb: Hark! The herald angels sing:
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Glory to the new-born King.
