Angels We have Heard on High 1. Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o’er the plain And the mountains in reply Echo back their joyous strain Ref.:

Gloria in exelcis Deo! Gloria in exelcis Deo!

2. Shepherds why this jubilee Why Your gladsome string prolong Say what may the tidings be Which inspired Your heavenly song. (Ref.)

Christ the Light is Coming 1. Christ the Light is coming, Dawn breaks in the East. Sion sound the trumpet, Call the marriage feast. Say to the faint-hearted,

Courage! Do not fear: All things are accomplished. Lo! The Lord is near. 2. Tell it on the mountains, Sing it to the sky. Set the wide world ringing With the longing cry. God himself will save us, God will be our stay: Come, Divine Messiah! Come, do not delay. 3. See His glory rising On the fringe of night. Jesus Christ is coming Walk you in His light! Rise, O land of Judah, Joyous be your tread. Haste on wings of gladness To the House of Bread.

Christmas in our Hearts 1. Whenever I see girls and boys Selling lanterns on the streets, I remember the Child In a manger as He sleeps. Wherever there are people Giving gifts exchanging cards I believe that Christmas Is truly in their hearts. Let’s light our Christmas trees For a bright tomorrow Where nations are at peace And all are one in God. Ref.:

Let’s sing Merry Christmas And a Happy Holiday This season may we never forget The love we have for Jesus.

Let Him be the One to guide us, As another new year starts And may the spirit of Christmas Be always in our hearts. 2. In every prayer and every song The community unites Celebrating the birth Of our Saviour Jesus Christ. Let love like that starlight On the first Christmas morn Bring us back to the manger Where Christ the Child is born. So come, let us rejoice, Let us sing the Christmas carols In one big joyful voice, Proclaim the Name of the Lord. (Ref.)

Come, Thou Long-expected Jesus 1. Come, Thou long-expected Jesus, Born to set Thy people free; From our fears and sins release us, Let us find our rest in Thee. 2. Israel’s strength and consolation, Hope of all the earth thou art; Dear desire of ev’ry nation, Joy of ev’ry longing heart. 3. Born Thy people to deliver, Born a child, and yet a king, Born to reign in us forever, Now Thy gracious kingdom bring. 4. By Thine own eternal Spirit Rule in all out hearts alone: By Thine all sufficient merit Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

Emmanuel 1. (Solo) Isang dalaga’y maglilihi Batang lalaki ang sanggol Tatawagin siyang Emanuel, Emanuel. (All voices Repeat 1) 2. Magalak! Isinilang ang Poon Sa sabsaban siya’y nakahimlay Nagpahayag ang mga anghel, “Luwahati sa Diyos!” ([Change key counterpoint 1 with 2]2; Ending)

Hark, a Herald Voice is Calling 1. Hark, a herald voice is calling: “Christ is nigh,” it seems to say, “Cast away the dreams of darkness, O ye children of the day.” 2. Startled at the solemn warning Let the earth-bound soul arise; Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispelling Shines upon the morning skies. 3. Lo, the Lamb so long expected Comes with pardon down from heav’n; Let us haste with tears of sorrow, One and all to be forgiv’n. 4. Honor, glory, virtue, merit To the Father and the Son, With the co-eternal Spirit While eternal ages run.
