Carol Lyrics


Angels We Have Heard on High (2)

[Verse 1]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly swinging o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

[Chorus]
Gloria In Excelsis Deo
Gloria In Excelsis Deo

[Verse 2]
Shepherds why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

[Verse 3]
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King

[Verse 4]
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise.



Away In a Manger (3)

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
The cattle are lowing, the poor 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 til morning is nigh

[Verse 3]
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 fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there.


Go Tell It on the Mountain (7)

Refrain:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

[Verse 1]
While shepherds kept their watching
O’er silent flocks by night,
Behold, throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.

[Verse 2]
The shepherds feared and trembled,
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed the Savior’s birth.

[Verse 3]
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn.

[Verse 4]
When I was a sinner
I sought both night and day
I asked the Lord to help me
And he showed me the way


Joy to the World (14)

[Verse 1]
Joy to the World, the Lord is 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.

[Verse 2]
Joy to the earth, the Savior 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.

[Verse 3]
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

[Verse 4]
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
Hark! the Herald Angels Sing (11)

[Verse 1]
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled."
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born King!

[Verse 2]
Christ, by highest heaven adored:
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the Virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see;
Hail, th'incarnate Deity:
Pleased, with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born King!

[Verse 3]
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 son of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born King !"


Silent Night (24)

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 (2x)

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Savior is born (2x)

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 (2x)

Silent night, holy night,
wondrous star, lend thy light;
with the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born (2x)


We Wish You a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Salt and Light in Unsettling Times

The events of Wednesday, January 6, 2021 in our nation’s capitol were deeply unsettling. Our country is deeply divided over many issues. Further, we remain in the midst of a global pandemic, people’s thoughts are frenzied, their emotions are frayed, and fear reigns in many hearts and minds of many. What is your role and mine as Christians in our culture in 2021? Jesus said about us as His followers, “you are the salt of the earth . . . You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:13-14 NIV). It is hard for us to be salt and light in our culture just now. We are sorting through the same issues and emotions as everyone else. However, as followers of Jesus, we are called to respond differently! Here is how the Apostle Paul described that difference, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same min...

"Reflections on a Great Awakening: Memories of a [then] Nine-Year-Old of the Asbury-Anderson Revival of 1970"

Image
(Sunday evening message on February 10, 2020 at First Baptist Church of Saint Albans, West Virginia on the 50th anniversary of the 1970 revival.) I want to tell you a story of God’s moving that is so incredible that it is still being celebrated fifty years later. Next weekend South Meridian Church of God will celebrate a great time of renewal that some call “The Revival of Love” and others refer to as a great awakening. As I tell you my story, please keep in mind that as I experienced this revival, I was a nine-year-old child whose perspectives were shaped by my youth. However, I have found that children can be insightful about spiritual things, as I hope that in some ways I may have been. In order to refresh my memories and fill in some gaps, I reread One Divine Moment , edited by Robert Coleman and David Gyertson which recapped the events at Asbury College and A New Wind Blowing by Pastor Charles Tarr about the events in Anderson, Indiana. South Meridian Church was often an exciting...
