Time to get involved by helping us with a collection of well-known Christmas songs, presented with a modern twist!
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.
Hark! Now hear the angels sing,
A new King born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas Day.
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star.
And hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar.
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night.
And find no place to borne a child
Not a single room was in sight.
Hark! Now hear the angels sing,
A new King born today
And man will live forever more
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.
Hark! Now hear the angels sing,
A new King born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas Day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man shall live forever more
Because of Christmas Day.
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 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!
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, then ever, ever praise we!
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!
Silent Night
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.
Silent Night, Holy Night
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from Heaven afar.
Heav’nly hosts sing ‘Alleluia’
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.
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
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
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 hosts proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn 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 Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man as man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and love 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 us second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh.
O’er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobsled 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. Hey!
Jingle Bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
