What Child Is This
VERSE 1
What Child is this who, laid to rest on Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping?
CHORUS 1
This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary.
VERSE 2
Why lies He in such mean estate, where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians fear, for sinners here, the silent Word is pleading
CHORUS 2
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, the cross be borne for me, for you
Hail, hail the Word made flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary.
VERSE 3
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Raise, raise a song on high; the virgin sings a lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary.
CHORUS 4
This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Of The Father's Love Begotten
Of the Father's love begotten
Ere the worlds began to be
He is Alpha and Omega
He the Source, the ending He
Of the things that are, that ha----ve been
And that future years shall see
Evermore and evermore
VERSE 2
O ye heights of heaven, adore Him
Angel hosts, His praises sing
Powers, dominions, bow before Him
And extol our God and King

Every voice in concert ring

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 appeared 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, oh hear the angel voices

O night, di-vi-----ne! O night, O night di-vine

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
