Processional HymnOnce in Royal David’s City

Once in royal Davids city,

Stood a lowly cattle shed,

Where a mother laid her Baby,

In a manger for His bed:

Mary was that mother mild,

Jesus Christ, her little Child.

He came down to earth from heaven,

Who is God and Lord of all,

And His shelter was a stable,

And His cradle was a stall:

With the poor, and mean, and lowly,

Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

For He is our childhood's pattern;

Day by day, like us, He grew;

He was little, weak, and helpless,

Tears and smiles, like us He knew;

And He cares when we are sad,

And he shares when we are glad.

And our eyes at last shall see Him,

Through His own redeeming love;

For that Child so dear and gentle,

Is our Lord in heaven above:

And He leads His children on,

To the place where He is gone.

First Verse Solo

Second Verse Choir Only

O little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

The everlasting Light

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary

And gathered all above

While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love

O morning stars together

Proclaim the holy birth

And praises sing to God the King

And Peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently

The wondrous gift is given!

So God imparts to human hearts

The blessings of His heaven.

No ear may hear His coming,

But in this world of sin,

Where meek souls will receive him still,

The dear Christ enters in.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

Continued overleaf

O holy Child of Bethlehem

Descend to us, we pray

Cast out our sin and enter in

Be born to us today

We hear the Christmas angels

The great glad tidings tell

O come to us, abide with us

Our Lord Emmanuel

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

Continued from overleaf

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

Holy Infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!

Christ, the Saviour is born

Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night

Son of God, love’s pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

God rest ye merry, gentlemenLet nothing you dismay

Remember, Christ, our SaviourWas born on Christmas day

To save us all from Satan’s powerWhen we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in Israel,This blessed Babe was bornAnd laid within a mangerUpon this blessed morn

The which His Mother MaryDid nothing take in scorn



From God our Heavenly FatherA blessed Angel came;

And unto certain ShepherdsBrought tidings of the same:

How that in Bethlehem was bornThe Son of God by Name.



God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

"Fear not then," said the Angel,"Let nothing you affright,This day is born a SaviourOf a pure Virgin bright,

To free all those who trust in HimFrom Satan's power and might."



The shepherds at those tidingsRejoiced much in mind,

Andlefttheirflocksa-feedingIn tempest, storm and wind:

And went to Bethlehem straightwayTheSonofGodtofind.



And when they came to BethlehemWhere our dear Saviour lay,They found Him in a manger,

Where oxen feed on hay;His Mother Mary kneeling down,

Unto the Lord did pray.O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises,All you within this place,

And with true love and brotherhoodEach other now embrace;This holy tide of Christmas

All other doth deface.O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

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 host proclaim:

“Christ is born in Bethlehem”

Hark! The herald angels sing

“Glory to the newborn King!”

Christ by highest heav'n adored

Christ the everlasting Lord!

Late in time behold Him come

Offspring of a Virgin's womb

VeiledinfleshtheGodheadsee

Hail the incarnate Deity

Pleased as man with man to dwell

Jesus, our Emmanuel


"Glory to the newborn King!"

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 man no more may die

Born to raise the sons of earth

Born to give them second birth


"Glory to the newborn King!"
