S ILENT N IGHT
ST. STEPHEN’S ANGLICAN CHURCH
1. Silent Night! Holy Night! 2. Silent Night! Holy Night!
All is calm, all is bright. Shepherds quake at the sight;
Round yon virgin—Mother and Child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the saviour is born,
Christmas Eve
Sleep in heavenly peace.
3. Silent Night! Holy Night!
Christ the saviour is born.
4. Douce nuit, sainte nuit,
Candlelight Service
Son of God, love’s pure light. Tout s'endort au dehors,
Radiant beams from thy Holy Face Le saint couple seul veille
With the dawn of redeeming grace Sur l'enfant qui someille. O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL
Jesus, Lord at thy birth, Au ciel l'astre reluit 1. O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth. O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!
5. Douce nuit, sainte nuit, 6. Douce nuit, sainte nuit, Come and behold Him, born the King of angels
Quel bonheur dans les coeurs, Jetez-vous à genoux. O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him,
Quand les bergers entendent Bergers, c'est le Méssie, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord
Les saints anges qui chantent: Jésus, né de Marie,
Il est né, le sauveur Dieu, fait homme pour nous 2. Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
O sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above!
Glory to God, all Glory in the highest!
O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
3. Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv'n;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing
J OY TO THE W ORLD O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
1. Joy to the world, the Lord is come! 2. Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!
Let earth receive her King; Let men their songs employ;
Let every heart prepare Him room, While fields & floods, rocks,
And Heaven and nature sing, hills & plains
And Heaven and nature sing, Repeat the sounding joy,
And Heaven, and Heaven, & nature sing. Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
3. No more let sins and sorrows grow, 4. He rules the world with truth & grace
Nor thorns infest the ground; And makes the nations prove
He comes to make His blessings flow The glories of His righteousness,
Far as the curse is found, And wonders of His love,
Far as the curse is found, And wonders of His love,
Far as, far as, the curse is found. And wonders, wonders, of His love.
THE FIRST NOEL HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING
1. The First Noel, the Angels did say 1. Hark the herald angels sing 2. Christ by highest heav'n adored
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay "Glory to the newborn King! Christ the everlasting Lord!
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep Peace on earth and mercy mild Late in time behold Him come
On a cold winter's night that was so deep. God and sinners reconciled" Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Joyful, all ye nations rise Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Born is the King of Israel! Join the triumph of the skies Hail the incarnate Deity
With the angelic host proclaim: Pleased as man with man to dwell
2. They looked up and saw a star "Christ is born in Bethlehem" Jesus, our Emmanuel
Shining in the East beyond them far Hark! The herald angels sing Hark! The herald angels sing
And to the earth it gave great light "Glory to the newborn King!" "Glory to the newborn King!"
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel 3. Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Born is the King of Israel! Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
3. And by the light of that same star Risen with healing in His wings
Three Wise men came from country far Mild He lays His glory by
To seek for a King was their intent Born that man no more may die
And to follow the star wherever it went. Born to raise the sons of earth
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born to give them second birth
Born is the King of Israel! Hark! The herald angels sing
4. This star drew nigh to the northwest "Glory to the newborn King!"
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and stay O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay. 1. O little town of Bethlehem 2. For Christ is born of Mary
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel How still we see thee lie And gathered all above
Born is the King of Israel! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep While mortals sleep, the angels keep
5. Then entered in those Wise men three The silent stars go by Their watch of wondering love
Full reverently upon their knee Yet in thy dark streets shineth O morning stars together
And offered there in His presence The everlasting Light Proclaim the holy birth
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. The hopes and fears of all the years And praises sing to God the King
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Are met in thee tonight And Peace to men on earth
Born is the King of Israel! 3. How silently, how silently 4. O holy Child of Bethlehem
6. Then let us all with one accord The wondrous gift is given! Descend to us, we pray
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord So God imparts to human hearts Cast out our sin and enter in
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought The blessings of His heaven. Be born to us today
And with his blood mankind has bought. No ear may his His coming, We hear the Christmas angels
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel But in this world of sin, The great glad tidings tell
Born is the King of Israel! Where meek souls will receive him still, O come to us, abide with us
The dear Christ enters in. Our Lord Emmanuel
