CAROL MEDLEY

Once In Royal David’s City (verses 1 & 2)

Ding Dong Merrily On High (verse 1 & chorus)

While Shepherds Watched (verses 1 & 2)

We Three Kings (verses 1-4 with choruses)

ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID’S CITY

1 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.

2 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 meek and lowly

Lived on earth our Saviour Holy.

DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH

1 Ding dong! Merrily on high,

In heaven the bells are ringing.

Ding dong! Verily the sky

Is riven with angels singing.

CHORUS Gloria,

Hosanna in excelsis!

Gloria,

Hosanna in excelsis!

WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED

1 While shepherds watched their fl ocks by night,

All seated on the ground,

The angel of the Lord came down

And glory shone around.

2 ‘Fear not’, said he, for mighty dread

Had seized their troubled mind.

‘Glad tidings of great joy I bring

To you and all mankind.’

WE THREE KINGS

1 We three kings of orient are,

Bearing gifts we travel afar

Field and fountain, moor and mountain,

Following yonder star.

CHORUS O star of wonder, star of night,

Star with royal beauty bright.

Westward leading, still proceeding,

Guide us to your perfect light!

OPTIONAL SOLO: CASPAR

2 Born a king on Bethlehem’s plain,

Gold I bring to crown him again,

King forever, ceasing never,

Over us all to reign.

CHORUS

OPTIONAL SOLO: MELCHIOR

3 Frankincense to offer have I,

Incense tells of Deity nigh,

Prayer and praising, all are raising,

Worship Him God most high!

CHORUS

OPTIONAL SOLO: BALTHASAR

4 Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume

Breathes the life of gathering gloom,

Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,

Sealed in a stone cold tomb.

CHORUS

SILENT NIGHT

FRANZ GRUBER

1 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.

ALL (in German) (Phonetic translation)

2 Stille nacht, heilige nacht,               Shtiller nacht, hi-ligger nacht,

Alles schläft, einsam wacht.              Alees shleft, einsam vacht.

Nur das traute hochheilige paar,        Noor das trauter hoch-hiligger paar,

Holder knabe, im lockigen haar,       Holder knaber im lockigen haar,

Schlaf in himmlischer ruh,                Shlaf in himlisher roo,

Schlaf in himmlischer ruh.                 Shlaf in himlisher roo.

TIME FOR CELEBRATION

EVERYONE: Merry Christmas everyone!

OPTIONAL SOLO

CHORUS Time for celebration,

Every land and nation,

Join your hands in peace and harmony,

Young and old!

There is love and joy

For the baby boy,

Born of Mary in a stable

Long, long ago.

Angels and shepherds, three wise men,

Saw the star over Bethlehem.

Worshipped the baby born to be King,

So now his praises we can sing!

CHORUS Time for celebration,

Every land and nation,

Join your hands in peace and harmony,

Young and old!

There is love and joy

For the baby boy,

Born of Mary in a stable

Long, long ago.

Born of Mary long, long time ago,

Long ago,

Long ago,

Long ago.
