Jingle Jingle Jesus

Jingle, jingle, Jesus, sing to him today

Jingle, jingle, Jesus, trust him all the way

Savior, Messiah, let the good news ring

Jingle, jingle, Jesus, He's the King of kings

Who's the baby in the manger down in Bethlehem?

Who's the one who's sought out by the shepherds and wise men?

Who's the child of promise bringing peace upon the earth?

Who's got angels coming down to celebrate his birth?

Jingle, jingle, Jesus, sing to him today

Jingle, jingle, Jesus, trust him all the way

Savior, Messiah, Let the good news ring

Jingle, jingle, Jesus, He's the King of kings

He's good news for everyone on whom God's favor rests

He's the perfect word of God living in the flesh

He's the Lord and Savior who can rescue us from sin

There is no one better or more wonderful than him (come on)

Jingle, jingle, Jesus, sing to him today

Jingle, jingle, Jesus, trust him all the way

Savior, Messiah, let the good news ring

Jingle, jingle, Jesus, He's the King of kings

Savior, Messiah, let the good news ring

Jingle, jingle, Jesus, He's the King of kings

Joy to the World

Joy to the world

The Lord has 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 earth

The Saviour reigns

Let men their songs employ

While fields and floods

Rocks, hills, and plains

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

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

 
 
 

We Three Kings of Orient Are

We three kings of orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain

Moor and mountain

Following yonder star

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 for ever, ceasing never

Over us all to reign

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

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 a life of gathering gloom;

Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,

Sealed in a stone-cold tomb.

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:

Alleluia, Alleluia,

Sounds through the earth and skies.

O star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to thy perfect light

 
 
 

O Holy Night

O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining

It is the night of our dear Savior's birth

Long lay the world in sin and error pining

'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!

O night divine, O night when Christ was born

O night, O Holy night, O night divine!

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 come the Wise Men from Orient land

The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger

In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger

Behold your King; before Him lowly bend

Behold your King; before Him lowly bend

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 power and glory evermore proclaim

His power and glory evermore proclaim

Gloria (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

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

Say what may the tidings be

Which inspire your heavenly song

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Gloria 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

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Gloria in excelsis Deo

See Him in a manger laid,

Whom the choirs of angels praise;

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid

While our hearts in love we raise.

Hark The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Peace on earth, and mercy mild

God and sinners reconciled

Joyful, all ye nations, rise

Join the triumph of the skies

With the angelic host proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Christ, by highest heaven adored

Christ, the everlasting Lord

Late in time behold him come

Offspring of a virgin's womb

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see

Hail, the incarnate deity

Pleased as Man with us to dwell

Jesus, our Emmanuel

Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace

Hail the Sun of righteousness

Light and life to all he brings

Risen with healing in his wings

Mild he lays his glory by

Born that man no more may die

Born to raise the sons of earth

Born to give them second birth

Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

ToonieKids@Play Song: On That Very First Christmas

Mary and Joseph go to Bethlehem (What?)

Bethlehem (What?), Bethlehem (What?)

Well, Mary and Joseph go to Bethlehem

On that very first Christmas

The Baby Jesus born that night (What?)

Born that night (What?), born that night (What?)

Well, the Baby Jesus born that night

On that very first Christmas

And the wise men come to worship Him (What?)

Worship Him (What?), worship Him (What?)

Well, the wise men come to worship Him

On that very first Christmas

Well, the shepherds told that the King is born

The King is born, well, the King is born

The shepherds told that the King is born

On that very first Christmas

And the angels singing, "Glory to God"

"Glory to God", "Glory to God"

Well, the angels singing, "Glory to God"

On that very first Christmas

Well, Mary and Joseph go to Bethlehem

The Baby Jesus born that night

The wise men come to worship Him

The shepherds told that the King is born

The angels singing, "Glory to God"

On that very first Christmas

CCLI 68577 Song # 4829076

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

The everlasting light

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary

And gathered all above

While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love

O morning stars together

Proclaim the holy birth

And praises sing to God the King

And peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently,

The wondrous gift is giv’n!

So God imparts to human hearts

The blessings of his heaven.

No ear may hear his coming,

But in this world of sin,

Where meek souls will receive Him still,

The dear Christ enters in.

O Holy Child of Bethlehem,

Descend to us we pray;

Cast out our sin and enter in;

Be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels,

The great glad tidings tell;

O come to us, abide with us,

Our Lord Emmanuel!

 
 
 

Silent 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 the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus, Lord at Thy birth

Jesus, Lord at Thy birth

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

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 till 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 take us to Heaven to live with Thee there

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye merry gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

Remember Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas Day

To save us all from Satan's pow'r

When we were gone astray

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in Israel

This blessed Babe was born

And laid within a manger

Upon this blessed morn

The which His Mother Mary

Did nothing take in scorn

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heav’nly Father

A blessed angel came

and unto certain shepherds

brought tidings of the same;

how that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name.

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Fear not then, said the Angel

Let nothing you affright

This day is born a Savior

Of a pure Virgin bright

To free all those who trust in Him

From Satan's pow'r and might

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises

All you within this place

And with true love and fellowship

Each other now embrace;

This holy tide of Christmas

All other doth deface

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

We wish a merry Christmas and a happy New Year

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
