O come, all you faithful
O come, all you faithful, joyful and triumphant!
O come now, O come now to Bethlehem!
Come, and behold Him, born the King of angels!
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord!
2 God from God, Light from Light,
He who abhors not the virgin’s womb;
Very God, begotten not created:
O come, let us adore Him…
3 Sing, choirs of angels; sing in exultation!
Sing, all you citizens of heaven above,
‘Glory to God, in the highest!’
O come, let us adore Him…
4 Yes, Lord, we greet You, born for our salvation!
Jesus, to You be glory given!
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing!
O come, let us adore Him…
Go, tell it on the mountain
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherds kept their watching
o’er silent flocks by night,
behold throughout the heavens,
there shone a holy light.
Go, tell it on the mountain…
The shepherds feared and trembled
when lo! above the earth,
rang out the angel chorus
that hailed our Saviour’s birth.
Go, tell it on the mountain…
Down in a lowly manger
our humble Christ was born,
and God sent us salvation,
that blessed Christmas morn.
Go, tell it on the mountain…
Joy to the world
Joy to the world; the Lord has come;
Let Earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing!
Joy to the earth – the Saviour reigns:
Your sweetest songs employ,
While fields and streams and hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy!
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonder, wonders of His love,
