CAROL #1
LIGHT OF THE WORLD - CHRIS TOMLIN
Oh Jesus, son of God, so full of grace and truth
The Father’s saving word, so wonderful are You
The angels longed to see and prophets searched to find
The glory we have seen revealed
You shone upon the Earth but who will understand?
You came unto Your own but who will recognize?
Your birth was prophesied, for You were the Messiah
Who came and walked upon the Earth
Your glory we have seen, the one and only King
And now You’re living in our hearts
Light of the world, light of the world
Light of the world, You shine upon us
Light of the world, light of the world
Light of the world, You shine upon us
In You all things were made and nothing without You
In Heaven and on Earth all things are held in You
And yet You became flesh, living as one of us
Under the shadow of the cross
Where, through the blood You shed
You have made peace again
Peace for the world that God so loves
Light of the world, light of the world
Light of the world, You shine upon us
Light of the world, light of the world
Light of the world, You shine upon us
Light of the world, light of the world
Light of the world, You shine upon us

CAROL # 4
While Shepherds Watched
(Winchester Old)
While shepherds watched
Their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
Fear not said he for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind
To you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
A Saviour who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign
The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands
And in a manger laid
All glory be to God on high
And on the earth be peace
Goodwill hence forth
From heaven to men
Begin and never cease

Born to give them second birth
Hark the herald angels sing

O Holy Night
O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour’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 world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices

And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name.

CAROL # 11
When a Child Is Born
Johnny Mathis
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy hue settles all around
You've got to feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two, no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon somehow
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
CAROL #12

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

Silent night holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heav'nly hosts sing alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Verse 3
Silent night holy night
Son of God 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
CAROL # 13
