AWAY IN A MANGER
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 cradle 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 you there

O HOLY NIGHT
O Holy Night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine, Oh night divine
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, and ever shall we praise him!
His power and glory, evermore evermore proclaim!
His power and glory, evermore evermore proclaim!

HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING
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 the angelic hosts proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem
Refrain
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Verse 2
Christ by highest heaven adored, Christ the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come, offspring of a virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel
Verse 3
Hail the heaven 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
