Once in Royal David’s City

1. Once in royal David's cityStood a lowly cattle shed,Where a mother laid her BabyIn a manger for His bed:Mary was that mother mild,Jesus Christ her little Child.

2. He came down to earth from heaven,Who is God and Lord of all,And His shelter was a stable,And His cradle was a stall;With the poor, and mean, and lowly,Lived on earth our Savior holy.

3. And through all His wondrous childhoodHe would honor and obey,Love and watch the lowly maiden,In whose gentle arms He lay:Christian children all must beMild, obedient, good as He.

4. For he is our childhood's pattern;Day by day, like us He grew;He was little, weak and helpless,Tears and smiles like us He knew;And He feeleth for our sadness,And He shareth in our gladness.

5. And our eyes at last shall see Him,Through His own redeeming love;For that Child so dear and gentleIs our Lord in heaven above,And He leads His children onTo the place where He is gone.

I saw three ships (Year 3)

I saw three ships come sailing in MarthaOn Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;I saw three ships come sailing in MarthaOn Christmas Day in the morning.

And what was in those ships all three, MarthaOn Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?And what was in those ships all three, MarthaOn Christmas Day in the morning?

The Virgin Mary and Christ were there, MarthaOn Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;The Virgin Mary and Christ were there, MarthaOn Christmas Day in the morning.

O they sailed into Bethlehem, MarthaOn Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;O they sailed into Bethlehem, MarthaOn Christmas Day in the morning.

And all the bells on earth shall ring,On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;And all the bells on earth shall ring,On Christmas Day in the morning.

The First Noel (Choir)

The First Noel, the Angels did sayWas to certain poor shepherds in fields as they layIn fields where they lay keeping their sheepOn a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, NoelBorn is the King of Israel!

They looked up and saw a starShining in the East beyond them farAnd to the earth it gave great lightAnd so it continued both day and night.


And by the light of that same starThree Wise men came from country farTo seek for a King was their intentAnd to follow the star wherever it went.Noel, Noel, Noel, NoelBorn is the King of Israel!

Then entered in those Wise men threeFull reverently upon their kneeAnd offered there in His presenceTheir gold and myrrh and frankincense.



Away in a MangerAway 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 cradle till morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stayClose 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.

We Three Kings (Year 6)We three kings of Orient are ADAM, TAYLOR, SAMUELBearing 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, ADAMGold I bring to crown Him again,King forever, ceasing neverOver us all to reign.


Frankincense to offer have I. TAYLORIncense owns a Deity nigh.Prayer and praising all men raising,Worship Him, God on high.


Myrrh is mine: it's bitter perfume SAMUELBreaths a life of gathering gloom.Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying,Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.


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 come all Ye FaithfulOh, come, all ye faithful,Joyful and triumphant!Oh, come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem.Come and behold him,Born the King of angels; (Chorus)Oh, come, let us adore him;Oh, come, let us adore him;Oh, come, let us adore him,Christ, the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels,Sing in exultation;Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above!Glory to God, in the highest; ChorusYea, Lord, we greet thee,Born this happy morning;Jesus, to thee be all glory giv'n.Son of the Father,Now in flesh appearing;Chorus
