O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Dayspring, from on high,
And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

There's a star in the east on Christmas morn
Rise up shepherd and follow
It will lead to the place where the Savior's born
Rise up shepherd and follow
Leave your ewes and leave your lambs
Rise up shepherd and follow
Leave your sheep and leave your rams
Rise up shepherd and follow
Follow, follow, rise up shepherd and follow
Follow the star of Bethlehem
Rise up shepherd and follow
If you take good heed to the angel's word
Rise up shepherd and follow
You'll forget your flock, you'll forget your herd
Rise up shepherd and follow
Leave your ewes and leave your lambs
Rise up shepherd and follow
Leave your sheep and leave your rams
Rise up shepherd and follow
Follow, follow, rise up shepherd and follow
Follow the star of Bethlehem
Rise up shepherd and follow

Bring a torch, Jeanette Isabella
Bring a torch, come hurry and run
It is Jesus, good folk of the village,
Christ is born and Mar's calling:
Ah! Ah! beautiful is the mother,
Ah! Ah! beautiful is the child
It is wrong when the baby is sleeping
It is wrong to speak so loud
Silence, all, as you come to the cradle
Lest you awaken little Jesus
hush! hush! see how fast he slumbers
hush! hush! see how fast he sleeps
Quietly now come to the stable
quietly for a moment come
Look and see how charming is Jesus
See how He smiles, His cheeks are rosy!
hush! hush! see how the Child is sleeping
hush! hush! see how he smiles and dreams
Bring a torch, Jeanette Isabella
Bring a torch, come hurry and run
It is Jesus, good folk of the village,
Christ is born and Mar's calling:
Ah! Ah! beautiful is the mother,
Ah! Ah! beautiful is the mother
Ah! Ah! beautiful is the child

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;
Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia!
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born!
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, oh, 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
