Lyrics: The First Nowell
The first Nowell
the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they
lay, keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel
Lyrics: O Come all Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
O come and behold Him, born the King of Angels
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
O 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
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Lyrics: 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
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
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!
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 Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! the herald angels sing:
Glory to the newborn King!
