What Child Is This (free) 03:22
lyrics
download
What Child is this who, laid to rest 
On Mary’s lap is sleeping? 
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, 
While shepherds watch are keeping?
 This, this is Christ the King,
 Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
 Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
 The Babe, the Son of Mary. Why lies He in such mean estate,
 Where ox and ass are feeding?
 Good Christians, fear, for sinners here 
The silent Word is pleading. 
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
 The cross be borne for me, for you.
 Hail, hail the Word made flesh, 
The Babe, the Son of Mary. I can't believe my eyes... So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
 Come peasant, king to own Him;
 The King of kings salvation brings, 
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
 Raise, raise a song on high,
 The virgin sings her lullaby.
 Joy, joy for Christ is born, 
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen 02:38

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 power when we were gone astray. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.

Angels We Have Heard On High 04:31
lyrics

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!
 Shepherds, why this jubilee?
 Why your joyous strains prolong? 
What the gladsome tidings be
 Which inspire your heavenly song? Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
 Come to Bethlehem and see
 Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
 Come, adore on bended knee,
 Christ the Lord, the newborn King. Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

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 power when we were gone astray. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy;
 O tidings of comfort and joy.
