Rowdy carols on the square
O come all ye faithful
O come, all ye faithful,
joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
come and behold him
born the King of angels:
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord!
God of God,
Light of Light,
Lo, he abhors not the Virgin’s womb;
very God,
begotten, not created:
Sing, choirs of angles,
sing in exultation,
sing, all ye citizens of heaven above;
glory to God
in the highest:
Hark! The herald angels sing
Hark! The herald angels sing
glory to the new-born King;
peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled:
joyful all ye nations rise,
join the triumph of the skies,
with the angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Hark! The herald angels sing
glory to the new-born King!
Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come
offspring of a virgin’s womb:
veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
hail the incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
risen with healing in his wings;
mild he lays his glory by,
born that man no more may die,
born to raise the sons of earth,
born to give them second birth.
jingle bells
Dashing through the snow
in a one horse open sleigh,
o’er the fields we go,
laughing all the way;
bells on Bobtail ring,
making spirits bright;
what fun it is to ride, and sing
a sleighing song tonight!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way;
O what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh!
Twelve days of christmas
On the first day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
a partridge in a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree.
Three French hens…
Four calling birds…
Five gold rings…
Six geese a-laying…
Seven swans a-swimming…
Eight maids a-milking…
Nine ladies dancing…
Ten lords a-leaping…
Eleven pipers piping…
Twelve drummers drumming…
Joy to the world
Joy to the world! The Lord is come;
let earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare him room,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven, and heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the world! The Saviour reigns;
let men their songs employ,
while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
and makes the nations prove
the glories of his righteousness
and wonders of his love,
and wonders of his love,
and wonders, wonders of his love.
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 alleluia:
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.
Silent night, holy night.
Son of God, love’s pure light,
radiant beams 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 heaven the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! Verily the sky
is riven with angel singing.
Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!
E’en so here below, below,
let steeple bells be swungen,
and i-o i-o i-o
by priest and people sungen.
Pray you, dutifully prime
your matin chime, ye ringers;
may you beautifully rime
your evetime song, ye singers.

We wish you a merry Christmas,

and a happy New Year!
