Joy To The World

It Came Upon The Midnight Clear

Hark The Harold Angels Sing

Do You Hear What I Hear

Deck The Halls

Away In A Manger

Auld Lang Syne

Angels We Have Heard On High

Lyrics adapted by Nik Bear Brown

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 the angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn 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 the incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen 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!"

Angels sing and nations bow,
Christ the Lord is with us now.
Let the earth in chorus raise
Songs of joy and endless praise.
Heaven’s King in humble birth,
Brings salvation to the earth.
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Lord of all, with hearts we sing,
Praise and worship to the King.
Shepherds, wise men, all draw near,
Heaven’s song we long to hear.
Peace and grace forever flow,
Christ has come to heal our woe.
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"
