Carols Songs

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.

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 heav’n above;

Glory to God,

Glory 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 all glory given

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,

O come let us adore Him,

O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!

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!
