  The Angel Gabriel from Heaven Came
The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
his wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
'All hail,' said he, 'O lowly maiden Mary,'
most highly favored lady: Gloria!

'For know a blessed mother you shall be,
all generations praise continually,
your son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,'
most highly favored lady: Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,
'To me be as it pleases God,' she said,
'my soul shall laud and magnify His holy name,'
most highly favored lady: Gloria!

Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
in Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
and Christian folk throughout the world will ever say:
most highly favored lady: Gloria! GLORIA!

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 sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

​The cattle are lowing the Baby awake
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes 
I love You, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh

​Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask You 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 You there

Silent Night, Holy 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 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 dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Recessional
Go Tell it on the Mountain  
REFRAIN:
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.   REFRAIN

Down in a lowly manger

Our humble Christ was born
And brought us all salvation
That blessed Christmas morn.   REFRAIN

FINAL REFRAIN
Go, tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
THAT JE-SUS CHRIST IS BORN!
