Lyrics of Contemporary Christmas Carols for your enjoyment.

ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY
I
Angels from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth
Ye who sang creations story,
Now proclaim messiah's birth

Chorus:

Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born king

I I

Shepherds in the field abiding,
Watching oe'r your flocks by night
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light.

I I I

Sages leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar.
Seek the great desire of nations,
Ye have seen his natal star.

I V

Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear
Suddenly the Lord descending
In his temple shall appear.

Repeat Chorus after every verse

ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
I

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strain.

CHORUS:

G-l-o-o-o-o-r-i-a in excel sis Deo.
G-l-o-o-o-o-r-i-a in excel sis Deo.

II

Shepherds why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your joyous song.

III

Come to Bethlehem , and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

IV

See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise.

Repeat Chorus after every verse

AWAY IN A MANGER
I
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 in the hay.

II

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.

III

Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me for ever, and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children, in Thy tender care
And fit us for Heaven, to live with Thee there.

BRING A TORCH JEANETTE, ISABELLA
I
Bring a torch Jeanette, Isabella
Bring a torch, to the cradle run
It is Jesus, good folks of the village
Christ is born
And Mary's calling
Ah, Ah, beautiful is the Mother.
Ah, Ah, beautiful is Her Son.

II

It is wrong when the Child is sleeping
It is wrong to talk so loud
Silence, all as you gather around
Lest your noise
Should waken Jesus
Hush, Hush, s-e-e how fast He slumbers
Hush, Hush, s-e-e how fast he sleeps.

III

Softly to the little stable
Softly for a moment come
Look and see how bright and charming is Jesus
His cheeks are dusky
Hush, Hush, see how the Child is sleeping
Hush, Hush, see how He smiles in dreams.

CAROL OF THE BELLS

Hark how the bells,
sweet silver bells,
all seem to say,
throw cares away

Christmas is here,
bringing good cheer,
to young and old,
meek and the bold.

Ding dong ding dong
that is their song
with joyful ring
all caroling.

One seems to hear
words of good cheer
from everywhere
filling the air.

Oh how they pound,
raising the sound,
o'er hill and dale,
telling their tale.

Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here.

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.
 

On on they send,
on without end,
their joyful tone
to every home.
 

Ding, dong, ding... dong!

COME, COME TO THE MANGER
CHORUS
Come, Come, Come to the manger
Children come to the children's King
Sing, sing, chorus of Angels
Stars of morning o'er Bethlehem sing.
I
He lies 'mid the beasts of the stall
Who is Maker and Lord of us all
The wintry wind blows cold and dreary
See, He weeps, the world is weary
Lord have pity and mercy on me.

II

He leaves all His glory behind
To be born and to die for mankind
With grateful beasts, His cradle chooses
Thankless man, His love refuses
Lord, have pity and mercy on me

III

To the manger of Bethlehem come
To the Savior Emmanuel's home
The heavenly hosts above are singing
Set the Christmas bells a-ringing
Lord, have pity and mercy on me.
