1. HARK THE HERALD

Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the new-born King

Peace on earth and mercy mild

God and sinners reconciled

Joyful, all ye nations, rise

Join the triumph of the skies

With angelic host proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the new-born King

Christ, by highest heaven adored

Christ, the everlasting Lord

Late in time behold him come

Offspring of the Virgin's womb

Veiled in flesh, the God Head see

Hail the incarnate Deity

Pleased as man with men to dwell

Jesus, our Emmanuel!

Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the new-born King

Hail the Heaven-born Prince of Peace

Hail the Son of righteousness

Light and life to all He brings

Risen 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

Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the new-born King

2. JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the world, the Lord is come,

Let earth receive her King

Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room

And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing

And heaven and heaven, and nature sing

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns, let all 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

3. IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS – SAM STEPHENS

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Everywhere you go

Take a look at the five and ten, it's glistening once again

With candy canes and silver lanes that glow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Toys in every store

But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be

On your own front door

A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots

Is the wish of Barney and Ben

Dolls that'll talk and will go for a walk

Is the hope of Janice and Jen

And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Everywhere you go

There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well

It's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Soon the bells will start

And the thing that'll make 'em ring is the carol that you sing

Right within your heart

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Toys in every store

But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be

On your own front door

Sure, it's Christmas once more

4. ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Gloria,Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria,Gloria in excelsis Deo

Praise the King of heaven

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing,

Come, adore on bended knee,

Christ the Lord, the newborn King

Gloria,Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria,Gloria in excelsis Deo

Praise the King of heaven

Gloria,Gloria, Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo

See Him in a manger laid

Whom the choirs of angels praise

Mary, Jospeh tend your babe

While our hearts in love we raise

Gloria,Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria,Gloria in excelsis Deo

Praise the King of heaven x2

Gloria,Gloria, Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo

5. SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN – TULLY KEDWELL

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list

He's checking it twice

He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice

Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping

And he knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

'Cause Santa Claus is coming to town

Now, he sees you when you're sleeping

And he knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

6. RUDOLPH, THE RED NOSED REINDEER

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"

7. JINGLE BELLS / AUSSIE JINGLE BELLS

Dashing through the snow

On a one horse open sleigh

Over the fields we go, laughing all the way

Bells on bob tail ring, making spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh 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

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Dashing through the bush in a rusty Holden ute

Kicking up the dust, esky in the boot

Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs

It's summer time and I am in my singlet, shorts and thongs

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

Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day (hey!)

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute

Engine's getting hot, we dodged the kangaroos

Swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too

All the family is there, sitting by the pool

Christmas day the Aussie way by the barbecue

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

Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day (hey!)

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute

Come the afternoon, Grandpa has a doze

The kids and Uncle Bruce, are swimming in their clothes

The time comes round to go, we take a family snap

And pack the car and all shoot through before the washing up

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

Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day (hey!)

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute

8. ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU – AMARA CRUTCHER

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

Yeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need (and I)

Don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow (and I)

I'm just gonna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it to the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh-oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere (so brightly, baby)

And the sound of children's laughter fills the air (oh, oh, yeah)

And everyone is singing (oh, yeah)

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need? (Yeah, oh)

Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just wanna see my baby standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby

All I want (I want) for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby

9. LET IT SNOW - SAM STEPHENS

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

And since we've no place to go

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Man it doesn't show signs of stopping

And I brought me some corn for popping

The lights are turned way down low

Let it snow! Let it snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight

How I'll hate going out in the storm

But if you'll really hold me tight

All the way home I'll be warm

And the fire is slowly dying

And, my dear, we're still goodbying

But as long as you'd love me so

Let it snow! Let it snow and snow!

10. THE CHESTNUTS ROASTING – JOE HOGAN

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

And every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if reindeers really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you

11. WE THREE KINGS

Verse 1

We three kings from Orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse a-far

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 thy perfect light

Verse 2

Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain

Gold I bring to crown Him again

King forever, ceasing never

Over us all, to reign

Verse 3

Frankincense to offer have I

Incense owns a deity nigh

Prayer and praising, all men raising

Worship Him God on high

Verse 4

Myrrh is mine, it’s bitter perfume

Breathes a life of gathering gloom

Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying

Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

Verse 5

Glorious now behold Him a-rise

King and God and sacrifice

Allelulia, allelulia

Sounds through the earth and skies

12. THE FIRST NOEL

The first noel, the angels 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

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

They looked up and saw a star

Shining in the east, beyond them far

And to the earth, it gave great light

And so it continued both day and night

The King is born, The King is born, The King is born

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the king of Israel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the king of Israel

Let angels rejoice,

They all bow before Him, the King is born

13. BREATH OF HEAVEN

I have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy father you have come
And chosen me now to carry your son

I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now
Be with me now

Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven

Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me

Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven

13. AWAY IN A MANGER – AMALI SHULTZ

Away in a manger no crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head

The stars in the sky looked down where they lay

The little Lord Jesus asleep in 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

15. LITTLE DRUMMER BOY – OLIVER STORRIE

Come they told me

A new born king to see

Our finest gifts we bring

To lay before the king

So to honour him, when we come

Little baby

I am a poor boy too

I have no gift to bring

That's fit to give a king

Shall I play for you, on my drum

Mary nodded

The ox and lamb kept time

I played my drum for him

I played my best for him

Then he smiled at me

Me and my drum

16. SILENT NIGHT – STACEY EVANS

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

Silent night, Holy night

Shepherds quake, at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah

Christ our Savior is born

Christ our Savior is bor

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

BRIEF TALK ABOUT CHRISTMAS – PASTOR JOHN PARER

17. CHRISTMAS HALLELUJAH – DANIEL BREWER AND JESSICA HICKEY

I've heard about this baby boy
Who's come to earth to bring us joy
And I just want to sing this song to you
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
With every breath I'm singing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

A couple came to Bethlehem
Expecting child, they searched the inn
To find a place for You were coming soon
And there was no room for them to stay
So in a manger filled with hay
God's only Son was born, oh Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

The shepherds left their flocks by night
To see this baby wrapped in light
A host of angels led them all to You
It was just as the angels said
You'll find Him in a manger bed
Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

A star shown bright up in the east
To Bethlehem, the wisemen three
Came many miles and journeyed long for You
And to the place at which You were
Their frankincense and gold and myrrh
They gave to You and cried out Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I know You came to rescue me
This baby boy would grow to be
A man and one day die for me and you
My sins would drive the nails in You
That rugged cross was my cross, too
Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

18. O HOLY NIGHT – STACEY LEE EVANS

Verse 1

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 appears 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!

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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

19. O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

O come, all ye faithful

Joyful and triumphant

O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem

Come and behold Him

Born the King of Angels

CHORUS

O come, let us adore Him

Christ the Lord

Sing, choirs of angels

Sing in exultation

Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above

Glory to God

All glory in the highest

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee

Born this happy morning

O Jesus, to thee be all glory given

Word of the Father

Now in flesh appearing

20. HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS – POPPY YATES

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light

Next year all our troubles, will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the Yuletide gay

Next year all our troubles, will be miles away

Once again, as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Will be near to us once more

Someday soon we all will be together

If the fates allow

Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow

So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

*EXTRA SONGS

MARY’S BOY CHILD

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day

CHORUS

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today

And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day

Trumpets sound and Angels sing, listen to what they say

That Man will live forever more, because of Christmas Day

While shepherds watch their flocks by night

They see a bright new shining star

They hear a choir sing, the music seemed to come from afar

Now Joseph and his wife Mary, come to Bethlehem that night

Them found no place to born the child, not a single room was in sight

By and by they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn

And in a manger cold and dark, Mary’s little boy was born

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

O little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above the dark and dreamless sky

The silent stars go by

For in the dark sky 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.

O Holy child of Bethlehem,

Descend on us we pray;

Cast out our sin and enter in

Be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels,

Their great glad tidings tell,

O come to us, abide in us,

Our Lord, Emanuel.
