Go Tell It On The Mountain

 

Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills, and ev'rywhere;

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. [Refrain]

​

The shepherds feared and trembled

when lo, above the earth
rang out the angel chorus
that hailed our Savior’s birth.

 

[Refrain]

 

Down in a lowly manger
the humble Christ was born,

and God sent us salvation
that blessed Christmas morn.

 

[Refrain]

Christmas Day
(The North Wind)

 

The North Wind is tossing the leaves

The red dust is over the town
The sparrows are under the eaves

And the grass in the paddock is brown

As we lift up our voices and sing

To the Christ-child, the heavenly king

 

The tree-ferns in Green Gully sway

The cool stream flows silently by

The joy-bells are greeting the day

And the chimes are adrift in the sky

As we lift up our voices and sing
To the Christ-child, the heavenly king

​

The North Wind is tossing thе leaves

The rеd dust is over the town
The sparrows are under the eaves

And the grass in the paddock is brown

As we lift up our voices and sing

To the Christ-child, the heavenly king To the Christ-child, the heavenly king

​

Carol Of The Birds

​

Out on the plains, the brolgas are dancing

Lifting their feet like horses prancing
Up to the sun, the woodlarks go winging

Faint in the dawn light echoes their singing

​

Orana! Orana! Orana to Christmas Day!

​

Down where the tree ferns grow by the river

There where the waters sparkle and quiver

Deep in the gullies, bellbirds are chiming

Softly and sweetly their lyric notes rhyming

​

Orana! Orana! Orana to Christmas Day!

 

Friarbirds sip the nectar of flowers

Currawongs chant in wattle-tree bowers

In the blue ranges lorikeets calling

Carols of bush birds are rising and falling

​

Down wherе the tree ferns grow by the rivеr

There where the waters sparkle and quiver

Deep in the gullies, bellbirds are chiming

Softly and sweetly their lyric notes rhyming

​

Away In A Manger

​

Away in a manger, No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay

 

The cattle are lowing The Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky

And stay by my side until 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 fit us for Heaven to live with thee there.

​

O Holy Night

O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O Holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the Wise Men from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is Peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us Praise His Holy name
Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim

Mary's Boy Child

​

Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary’s Boy Child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day!

​

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir from heaven sing
The music came from afar

​

Hark! Now hear the angels sing:
“New King’s born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day!”

​

Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night.
They found no place to bear her Child,
Not a single room was in sight.

​

Hark! Now hear the angels sing:
“New King’s born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day!”

​

By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn.
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary’s little Boy/Child was born

​

Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say!
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day!

 

Silver Bells

​

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks

Dressed in holiday style

In the air there's a feeling

Of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing

Meeting smile after smile

And on every street corner you'll hear

Silver bells

Silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling

Hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas Day

Strings of streetlights, even stoplights

Blink of bright red and green

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch

See the kids bunch

This is Santa's big scene

And above all the bustle you'll hear

Silver bells

Silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas Day

Soon it will be Christmas Day

​

The Silver Stars Are In The Sky

 

The silver stars are in the sky,
The red-gold moon is riding high,

O sleep my little one sleep.
Once long ago against her breast,

 

A mother hush’d a babe to rest.

Who was the Prince of Heav'n above

The Lord of gentleness and love.
O sleep my little one sleep.

​

The boo-book calls across the night.

The brown moths flutter in the light,

O sleep my little one sleep.
In Beth-le-hem long, long a-go

​

When roads and paddocks gleamed with snow.
On this same night,
That mother mild

lull'd in-to dreams Her Royal Child

 

So sleep my lit-tle one sleep! My little on sleep!

​

On A Starlit Night

​

On a star-lit night
‘Neath a sky so bright
The angels sing carols of love

Of a baby asleep
In a manger bed
Sent from heaven above

Sleep oh tiny precious one Sleep

God’s chosen son

Jingle Bell Rock

 

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring

Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun

 

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air

​

What a bright time, it's the right time

To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh

​

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet

That's the jingle bell rock

The Twelve Days of Christmas

 

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree

 

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.

 

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me

Three French hens,

Two turtle doves,

And a partridge in a pear tree.

​

• four calling birds

• five gold rings
• six geese a-laying
• seven swans a-swimming
• eight maids a-milking
• nine ladies dancing
• ten lords a-leaping
• eleven pipers piping
• twelve drummers drumming

​

See a baby

​

See a baby lying in a manger.

Wrapped in swaddling bands.

See the hope of every generation

In His outstretched hands.

 

See the Mother gazing down upon Him.

Love and fear combined,

For the presence of this tiny being

Is from God a sign.

 

See the Shepherds kneeling down in terror,

At the blinding light.

Hear the angels telling them to ‘fear not”

As they fill the night.

 

See the magi, men of special knowledge,

Kneeling his His stall.

See them lay their precious gifts around Him,

The greatest gift of all.

 

See a baby lying in a manger,

Wrapped in swaddling bands.

See the hope of every generation.

In His outstretched hands.

See the hope of every generation.

In his outstretched hands.

Christmas Medley

​​

Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh,

Over fields we go, laughing all the way,

Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to ride,
in a one horse open sleigh, hey

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to ride,
in a one... horse... open... sleigh.....

 

We wish you a merry Christmas,

we wish you a merry Christmas,

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year

 

Good tidings we bring, to you and your kin ...

We wish you a merry Christmas
and a happy New Year ....
We wish you a merry Christmas

and a happy New Year.

We Three Kings

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain moor and mountain

Following yonder star

​​

O star of wonder star of night
Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light

​

Born a King on Bethlehem's plain

Gold I bring to crown Him again

King forever ceasing never

Over us all to reign

O star of wonder star of night
Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light

Frankincense to offer have I

Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising all men raising

Worship Him God on high

​​​

Myrrh is mine its bitter perfume

Breathes a life of gathering gloom

Sorrowing sighing bleeding dying

Sealed in the stone cold tomb

​​

O star of wonder star of night
Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light

​​​​

Glorious now behold Him arise

King and God and sacrifice

Alleluia alleluia
Sounds through the earth and skies

Come Thou long expected Jesus

​

Come, thou long expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth thou art;
dear desire of every nation,
joy of every longing heart.

​

Born thy people to deliver,
born a child and yet a King,
born to reign in us forever,
now thy gracious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal spirit
rule in all our hearts alone;
by thine all sufficient merit,
raise us to thy glorious throne.

What child is this

​​​

What child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary’s lap is sleeping,
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary!

​​

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh;

Come, peasant, king, to own Him!

The King of Kings salvation brings;

Let loving hearts enthrone Him!

This, this is Christ the King,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The babe, the son of Mary!

Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
The Cross be borne for me, for you;
Hail, hail the Word Made Flesh,
The babe, the son of Mary!

This, this is Christ the King,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The babe, the son of Mary!

The babe, the son of Mary!

O Holy Night

O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O Holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the Wise Men from Orient land

The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our need, to weakness is no stranger
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love, and His Gospel is Peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name, all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His Holy name

Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever!
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim

​​

Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices! 

O night divine, O night when Christ was born

O night, O Holy night, O night divine!

Once in Royal David's city

​​

Once in royal David's 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, oppressed and lowly
Lived on earth our saviour holy

​​

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​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

​

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay;

remember Christ, our Saviour was born on Christmas Day

to save us all from Satan's pow'r when we were gone astray.​

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

​

From God our heav'nly Father a blessed angel came

and unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same,
how that in 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, the true and radiant light,

to free all those who trust in him from Satan's pow'r and might."

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, 

O tidings of comfort and joy.

​​

Now to the Lord sing praises, all you within this place,
And in true love and fellowship each other now embrace;

This holy tide of Christmas is filled with heavenly grace.

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, 

O tidings of comfort and joy.

Joy To The World

​

Joy to the world
The Lord is 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
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

​​​

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make his blessings flow

Far as the curse is found,

Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

​​

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.
