Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly-minded,
for with blessing in his hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heavenly food
Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away
At his feet the six-winged seraph
cherubim, with sleepless eye
veil their faces to the presence
as with ceaseless voice they cry
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Lord Most High

O Come, O Come Emmanuel
06:40

O come o come emmanuel
And ransom captive israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the son of god appears
Oh come thou day-spring come and cheer
Our spirits by thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice rejoice
Emmanuel shall come to thee oh israel
Oh come desire of nations bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid thou our sad divisions cease
And be thyself our king of peace
O come o come emmanuel
And ransom captive israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the son of god appear
Rejoice
Rejoice emmanuel

O Holy Night
05:43
|

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

In the Bleak Midwinter
04:04
|

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago
Angels and archangels
They have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Round in the air
For his mother only
In her maiden bliss
Worship the beloved
With a kiss
What can I give Him
Poor as I am
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
What I can I give him
Give my heart
Give, give my heart

Silent Night
Holy Night
All Bright
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind...
