CAROLS - Kurrajong & North Richmond Anglican Church

Go Tell it on the Mountain

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds kept their watching
O’er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a Holy light

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

The shepherds feared and trembled
When, lo! Above the Earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour’s birth

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And brought us all salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la la la la!
‘Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la la la la!
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la la la la la la!
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la la la la!

See the blazing yule before us,
Fa la la la la la la la!
Strike the harp and join the chorus,
Fa la la la la la la la!
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la la la la!
While I tell of Yuletide treasure,
Fa la la la la la la la!

Fast away, the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Sing we joyous all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!

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

O Holy Night

O Holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of
our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
‘Til He appears
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;
O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night
when Christ was born
O night divine, O night,
O night divine!

Led by the light
of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts
by His cradle we stand
So led by light of
a star sweetly gleaming
Here comes the wise
men from Orient land
The King of kings
lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials
born to be our friend
He knows our need,
to our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King;
before Him lowly bend
Behold your King;
before Him lowly bend

Truly He taught us
to love one another;
His law is love
and His Gospel is Peace
Chains shall He break,
for the slave is our brother
And in His name,
all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy
in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us
Praise His Holy name
Christ is the Lord;
O praise His name forever!
His power and glory
evermore proclaim
His power and glory
evermore proclaim

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 Hallelujah.
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.

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.

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
‘Til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And fit us for heaven
To live with Thee there

The First Noel

The first Noel
the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields as they lay:
In fields where they
lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night
that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up
and saw a star
Shining in the east
beyond them far:
And to the earth
it gave great light
And so it continued
both day and night.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.

Then let us all
with one accord
Sing praises to
our heavenly Lord,
For Christ has our
salvation wrought,
And with his blood
mankind has bought.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

We Three Kings

We three kings of Orient are
bearing gifts we travel so far.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star.

Born a king on Bethlehem’s plain,
gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
over us all to reign.

O star of wonder, star of night,
Star of royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

Frankincense to offer have I.
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising all men raising,
worship Him, God on high.

O star of wonder, star of night,
Star of royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume
breathes a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
sealed in a stone-cold tomb.

O star of wonder, star of night,
Star of royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and sacrifice.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies.

O star of wonder, star of night,
Star of royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

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

Sing choirs of angels
sing in exultation
Sing all ye citizens
of heaven above;
Glory to God
in the highest:
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord

Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee
be glory giv’n;
Word of the Father,
now in flesh appearing:
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord

Aussie Jingle Bells

Dashing through the bush,
in a rusty Holden Ute
Kicking up the dust,
esky in the boot
Kelpie by my side,
singing Christmas songs
It’s Summer time and I am in my
singlet, shorts and thongs

Engine’s getting hot,
we dodge the kangaroos
Swaggie climbs aboard,
he is welcome too
All the family’s there,
sitting by the pool
Christmas day, the Aussie way,
by the barbecue

Come the afternoon,
Grandpa has a doze
The kids and Uncle Bruce,
are swimming in their clothes
The time comes ’round to go,
we take a family snap
Then pack the car and all shoot through,
before the washing up

O Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia on a
scorching summer’s day, hey
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Christmas time is beaut
Oh what fun it is to ride
in a rusty Holden Ute

Good tidings for Christmas
