Away in a Manger
A-way in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus, laid down his sweet head;
The stars in the sky, looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes,
I love thee lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle, till morning is nigh.
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 Thee there.
Joy to the World
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart, prepare Him room
And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and nature sing
And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, 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 wonders, wonders of His love
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
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 angelic hosts proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King.”
2. Christ, by highest heav’n adored; Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time, behold him come, Offspring of a virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the God-head see, Hail th’ incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with us to dwell, Jesus our Emmanual.
Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King.”
3. Hail the heav’n 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 we no more may die,
Born to raise us from the earth, Born to give us second birth.
Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King.”
