Audience: Hark the herald angels sing<br />
– words by Charles Wesley melody by Felix<br />
Mendelssohn<br />
Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new born King<br />
Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled<br />
Joyful all ye n<strong>at</strong>ions rise, join the triumph of the skies<br />
With the angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem<br />
Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new born King<br />
Christ by highest heaven adored, Christ the everlasting Lord<br />
L<strong>at</strong>e in time behold him come, offspring of the Virgin’s womb<br />
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, hail the incarn<strong>at</strong>e Deity<br />
Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel<br />
Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new born King<br />
Hail the heaven born Prince of Peace, hail the Son of Righteousness<br />
Light of light to all he brings, risen with healing in his wings<br />
Mild he lays his glory by, born th<strong>at</strong> man no more may die<br />
Born to raise the son’s of earth, born to give them second birth<br />
Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new born King<br />

Audience: Wh<strong>at</strong> Child is this – Greensleeves<br />
Wh<strong>at</strong> child is this, who, laid to rest on Mary’s lap is sleeping?<br />
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds w<strong>at</strong>ch are keeping?<br />
This, this the King, whom shepherds worship and angels sing<br />
Haste, haste to bring him praise, the babe the son of Mary<br />
Why lies he in such mean est<strong>at</strong>e, where ox and ass are feeding?<br />
Come, have no fear, God’s Son is here, his love all loves exceeding<br />
Nails, spear, shall pierce him through, the cross be borne for me, for you<br />
Hail, hail, the Saviour comes, the babe, the son of Mary<br />
So bring him incense, gold and myrrh, all tongues of peoples own him<br />
The King of Kings salv<strong>at</strong>ion brings, let every heart enthrone him<br />
Raise, raise your song on high while Mary sings a lullaby<br />
Joy, joy for Christ is born, the babe, the son of Mary<br />
