(instrumental)
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from satan's power
When we were gone astray
O, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy
From god our heavenly father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How in that Bethlehem was born
The son of god by name
O, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy
"Fear not" then said the angel
"Let nothing you affright
This day is born a saviour
Of a virgin pure and bright
To free all those who trust in him
From satan's pow'r and might"
O, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy

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 others doth deface
O, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy

O holy night, O holy night
Silent night, holy night

And in his name all oppression shall cease

5. AWAY IN A MANGER
4. O HOLY NIGHT
(instrumental)
(instrumental)
Away in a manger
O holy night No crib for His bed
The stars are brightly shining The little Lord Jesus
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth Laid down His sweet head
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining The stars in the bright sky
'Til he appeared and the soul felt its worth Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
A thrill of hope Asleep on the hay
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks (instrumental)
A new and glorious morn
The cattle are lowing
Fall on your knees The Baby awakes
O hear the angel voices But little Lord Jesus
O night divine No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky Gloria, Gloria, In excelsis Deo
And stay by my side Gloria, Gloria, In excelsis Deo
'Til morning is nigh
See him in a manger laid
(instrumental) Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
Be near me, Lord Jesus While our hearts in love we raise
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever Gloria
And love me I pray In excelsis Deo
Gloria
Bless all the dear children In excelsis Deo
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven Gloria
To live with Thee there In excelsis
Gloria

9. HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
