It Came Upon The Midnight Clear

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From Angels playing near the earth
To touch their harps of gold

Peace on the earth goodwill to men
From Heaven's all-gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the Angels sing

The First Noel

The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay:
In fields where they lay a keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel. Noel. Noel. Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning

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

Angels from the Realms of Glory

Watching o'er your flocks by night

Born that man no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.

Glory to the newborn King.
