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
Glory streams from heaven above
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah.
Christ the saviour is born,
Christ the saviour is born.
Silent night, Holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiance beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth.
Ding Dong Merrily On High
Ding Dong! merrily on high
In heav'n the bells are ringing
Ding, dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing
Gloria,
Hosanna in excelsis
E'en so here below, below
Let steeple bells be swungen
And e-o, e-o, e-o
By priest and people sungen

Pray ye dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers
May ye beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers
Gloria,
Hosanna in excelsis.

Gloria,
Hosanna in excelsis.

Said you must leave your sheep.
(Listen! Listen!)
Stand up! Now rub your eyes!
You have no time to sleep.
Bethlehem is calling…
Listen! An angel voice
Said you must find a child.
(Listen! Listen!)
Stand up! Get moving now!
A star will be your guide.
Bethlehem is calling!
Listen to Bethlehem!

Angel Gabriel
On a dark and mysterious night
It was Mary, a maiden so gentle and kind,
Who was struck by the strangest of sights.
An angel appearing before her declared;
Don’t be scared! Don’t be scared!
I am the Angel Gabriel!
Sent down from heaven above.
I bring joy and happy news
From God– His message of love!
So don’t be afraid! I tell of a day
When Jesus your child shall be born:
The Saviour in a manger!
And He shall be known for all time
As the Saviour divine!
(The Saviour divine, Saviour divine, oooh)
Yes, the Saviour divine!
(The Saviour divine, Saviour divine, oooh)
What it pleases my God I shall be!
Said Mary to Gabriel, down on her knees.
No more troubled in thought or in deed,
Most favoured of ladies,
What god has decreed
It shall be! It shall be!
I am the Angel Gabriel...etc
...Yes the Saviour divine!
All Over the Hills
Well it was dark So dark!
On the hills On the hills
Well it was oh so dark on the hills
Round the sleepy little town
The sleepy little town,
The sleepy little town of Bethlehem
But there was no way to sleep
For shepherds watching their sheep
They were roamin’
All over the hillside! All over the hills!
Then an angel came down
And there was light all around– on the hills!
Oh the light was so bright
The shepherds got such a fright
They were shakin’ Ooh!
All over the hillside! All over the hills!
And the sheep in a daze
Well they forgot how to graze– on the hills!
Now the angel said “Hey!
You shepherds don’t be afraid
You gotta get goin’!
Down on the hillside! Down on the hills!
Now behold a new dawn
A special baby is born– Son of God!
So you gotta go down, down, down
To Bethlehem
Then you gotta go up, up, up
To where he’d laid
And you gotta bow down, down, down
Before the child who wears the crown
That’s baby Jesus who’s born this very day!
Now a shepherd said ‘Hey!
Do as the angels say
We gotta get going’! Ooh!
Down on the hillside! Down on the hills!
For tonight of all nights
I guess the sheep are alright– on the hills!
So we gotta go down, down, down etc
… That’s baby Jesus who’s been born this very day!
Year 6
We Kings have journeyed far
We Kings have journeyed far
We’re following a star.
It leads us onward, clear and bright,
Lighting up our darkest night.
We Kings have journeyed far.
We’re following a star
See the gifts we bring,
Presents for a King
Gold and frankincense and myrrh
Following a star
Travelling afar
Leads us to the holy baby.
We’ve travelled from the East,
A thousand miles at least.
We’ve crossed all deserts, land and seas
Searching for the Prince of Peace
We’ve travelled from the East
A thousand miles at least.
See the gifts we bring…
A child is born today
A star lights up His way
And soon we’ll kneel to the Infant King
Offering the gifts we bring.
A child is bron today.
A star lights up his way,
See the gifts we bring...
