Away in a Manger Murray
1. 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 he lay, the little Lord, Jesus, asleep on the hay.
2. The cattle are lowing; the poor baby wakes, but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky and stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
Angels We Have Heard on High French Carol
1. Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply, Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
2. Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn king.
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Silent Night Mohr & Gruber
1. 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.
2. Silent night, holy night. Shepherds quake at the sight; glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing, “Alleluia!” Christ, the Savior is born! Christ, the Savior is born.
Go Tell It on the Mountain Work, Jr.
Refrain: Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and ev’rywhere;
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.

behold, throughout the heavens there shone a holy light. (refrain)
2. Down in a lonely manger the humble Christ was born;
and God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn. (refrain twice)
That Jesus Christ is born. Yah!
