CAROLS SONG BOOK

In a time of great excitement and frantic last minute shopping it’s easy to lose sight of the real Christmas.

It celebrates something extraordinary and wonderful - the giving by God of His unique gift to us - Jesus!

If these things are true they are life changing and worth singing about.

Join us this Christmas to celebrate the real thing.

Have a great night!

AWAY IN A MANGER

VERSE 1Away in a manger no crib for a bed,The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay,The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

VERSE 2The 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 cradle till morning is nigh.

VERSE 3Be 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.

VERSE 1O 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 its worth.A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Chorus 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.

VERSE 2 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 came the wise men from Orient land.The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,In all our trials born to be our friend.

Chorus He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger.Behold your King, Before Him lowly bend.Behold your King, Before Him lowly bend.

VERSE 3 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.

Chorus Christ is the Lord oh praise His name forever.His power and glory evermore proclaim.His power and glory evermore proclaim.

Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voicesO night divine, O night when Christ was bornO night divine, O night, O night divine
