Welcome to Lighthouse Church Christmas Carols!
It’s great to have you join with us in singing Christmas Carols, below are the words for all the songs.
We Three Kings
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yon—der star.
Oh-o
Star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy Perfect Light.
Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again.
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.
Oh-o
Star of wonder, star of night,
Star with 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 most high.
Oh-o
Star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy Perfect Light.
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume,
Breathes of life of gathering gloom.
Sorrow, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone cold tomb. Oh-o
Star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy Perfect Light.
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice.
Alle—luia, Alleluia,
Earth to heaven replies.
Oh-o
Star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy Perfect Light.

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 baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky
And stay by my side until 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
Oh come oh 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, O come, Thou Lord of might
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height
In ancient times didst give the law
In cloud, and majesty and awe
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, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
O come, Thou Wisdom from on high
And order all things, far and nigh
To us the path of knowledge show
And cause us in her ways to go
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our King of peace
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles
Will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles
Will be miles away
Here we are, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon
The highest bough
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now
Here we are, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon
The highest bough
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now
Jingle Bell Rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it’s the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle in the jingling beat
That’s the jingle bell rock
REPEAT
That’s the jingle bell
That’s the jingle bell rock!
Angels We Have Heard on High
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Glo – ria in excelsis Deo
Glo – ria in excelsis Deo
Shepherd, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Glo – ria in excelsis Deo
Glo – ria in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing.
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
Glo – ria in excelsis Deo
Glo – ria in excelsis Deo
Glo – ria in excelsis Deo
Glo – ria in excelsis Deo

Who would have dreamed
On a starlit hillside, shepherds watched their sheep
Slowly, David’s city drifted off to sleep
But to this little town of no great renown
The Lord had a promise to keep
Prophets had foretold it, a mighty King would come
Long awaited Ruler, God’s Anointed One
But the Sovereign of all looked helpless and small
As God gave the world His own Son
And who would have dreamed or ever foreseen
That we could hold God in our hands?
The Giver of Life is born in the night
Revealing God’s glorious plan
To save the world
Wondrous gift of heaven: the Father sends the Son
Planned from time eternal, moved by holy love
He will carry our curse and death He’ll reverse
So we can be daughters and sons
And who would have dreamed or ever foreseen
That we could hold God in our hands?
The Giver of Life is born in the night
Revealing God’s glorious plan
And who would have dreamed or ever foreseen
That we could hold God in our hands?
The Giver of Life is born in the night
Revealing God’s glorious plan
To save the world
To save the world
Light of the world
The world waits for a miracle
The heart longs for a little bit of hope
Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel
A child prays for peace on Earth
And she’s calling out from a sea of hurt
Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel
And can you hear the angels singing
Glory to the light of the world
Glory, the light of the world is here
The drought breaks with the tears of a mother
A baby’s cry is the sound of love
Come down, come down, Emmanuel
He is the song for the suffering
He is Messiah, the Prince of Peace has come
He has come, Emmanuel
Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
For all who wait
For all who hunger
For all who’ve prayed
For all who wonder
Behold your King
Behold Messiah
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Glo-glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
Behold your King
Behold Messiah
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
The world waits for the miracle
The heart longs for a little bit of hope
Oh come, oh come Emmanuel
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 all their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joyRepeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy
No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make
His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found
Far as the curse is found
Far as, far as the curse is found
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
Unto us
Who are we that a king would trade Heaven’s riches
For a stable and a manger low?
Can it be “Great I Am” bending down to reach us
Morning Star, let this dark world know
Here is our promised one
Jesus, our hope has come
Unto us, unto us
A child is born
Unto us, unto us
A son is given
Glory to God in the highest
Wonderful, prince of peace
Emmanuel has come to set captives free
And with the angels we sing
Glory to God in the highest
He has brought this great love unto us
Who are we that a king would still walk among us?
Knowing He would only live to die
Cross of shame, crown of thorns
He still chose to carry
Beauty broken, breathing us new life
Here is our promised one
Jesus, our hope has come
Unto us, unto us
A child is born
Unto us, unto us
A son is given
Glory to God in the highest
Wonderful, prince of peace
Emmanuel has come to set captives free
And with the angels we sing
Glory to God in the highest
He has brought this great love unto us
Emmanuel
Emmanuel (God is with us, You are God, You are God with us)
Emmanuel (God is with us, You are God, You are God with us)
Love has come
Unto us, unto us
A child is born
Unto us, unto us
A son is given
Glory to God in the highest
Wonderful, prince of peace
Emmanuel has come to set captives free
And with the angels we sing
Glory to God in the highest
He has brought this great love unto us
Unto us
Emmanuel
(God is with us, You are God, You are God with us)
Unto us
Emmanuel
(God is with us, You are God, You are God with us)
O Holy Night
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt it’s 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!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night divine O night, O night divine
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 pow’r and glory evermore proclaim
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim
Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night divine O night, O night divine
O night, O night divine!

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!
This star drew nigh to the northwest
Over Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon the knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

Mary’s Boy Child
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary’s Boy Child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day
CHORUS
Hark, now hear the angels sing
“A new King’s born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day!”
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say,
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day!
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir from heaven sing
The music came from afar
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night,
They found no place to bear her Child
Not a single room was in sight
CHORUS
Hark, now hear the angels sing
“A new King’s born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day!”
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say,
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day!
By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary’s little Boy Child was born
CHORUS
Hark, now hear the angels sing
“A new King’s born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day!”
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say,
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day!
