2. Prepare The Way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwQlReZaz0E Prepare the way for the coming of God. Make a straight path for the coming of God. Prepare the way for the coming of God. Make a straight path for the coming of God. Ev'ry valley fill it in, Every mountain make it small. Ev'ry valley fill it in, Every mountain make it small.              

3. Prepare the way for the coming of God. Make a straight path for the coming of God. Prepare the way for the coming of God. Make a straight path for the coming of God. Crooked pathways make it straight. All the rough land make it smooth. Crooked pathways make it straight. All the rough land make it smooth.

4. All will see, God's power strong God has promised glory comes. All will see, God's power strong God has promised glory comes. Prepare the way for the coming of God. Make a straight path for the coming of God. Prepare the way for the coming of God. Make a straight path for the coming of God.

5. Christ Be Our Light https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caA4sIXkD44 Longing for light, we wait in darkness. Longing for truth, we turn to you. Make us your own, your holy people, Light for the world to see. Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the darkness. Christ, be our light! Shine in your church gathered today.

6. Longing for peace, our world is troubled. Longing for hope, many despair. Your word alone has pow’r to save us. Make us your living voice. Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the darkness. Christ, be our light! Shine in your church gathered today.

7. How Can This Be? How can this be? Why have you chosen me? How can this be? Why have you chosen me? Lord I will do all that you ask me to. May all your words and promises come true.

8. Praise be to God. Holy is His name. This servant girl will never be the same. Lord we will do all that you ask us to. May all your words and promises come true.

9. Nobody Wants To Know Where will we find a place for the night? Somewhere to rest ‘til dark turns to light. Someone please rescue us from our plight. Nobody wants to know. Don’t go knocking here. Don’t go knocking there. We’ve guests in ev ’ – ry room There’s no room we can spare. Oh!

10. Where will we find a place for the night? Somewhere to rest ‘til dark turns to light. Someone please rescue us from our plight. Nobody wants to know. Let us see your money. Let us see your face. You look like two strangers. There’s no room in this place. Oh! Where will we find a place for the night? Somewhere to rest ‘til dark turns to light. Someone please rescue us from our plight. Nobody wants to know.

11. Silent Night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEH7_2c644Q 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, sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night. Shepherds quake at the sight, glories stream from heaven afar, heavenly hosts sing alleluia: Christ, the Saviour is born, Christ, the Saviour is born.

12. It Was On A Starry Night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeRrAzapOQ0 It was on a starry night When the hills were bright Earth lay sleeping, sleeping calm and still Then in a cattle shed In a manger bed A boy was born, King of all the world And all the angels sang for Him The bells of heaven rang for Him For a boy was born, King of all the world And all the angels sang for Him The bells of heaven rang for Him For a boy was born, King of all the world

13. Soon the shepherds came that way Where the baby lay And were kneeling, kneeling by His side And their hearts believed again For the peace of men For a boy was born, King of all the world And all the angels sang for Him The bells of heaven rang for Him For a boy was born, King of all the world And all the angels sang for Him The bells of heaven rang for Him For a boy was born, King of all the world

14. Let There Be Peace Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God, in the highest, in the highest, world without end, world without end.

15. And peace on the earth, peace on the earth, peace on the earth, peace on the earth, for evermore, for evermore. Amen, Amen.  

16.   Glory to God in the highest, and let there be peace on earth! Glory to God in the highest, and let there be peace on earth!

17.   Let there be peace, let there be hope, let there be love, let there be joy. Let there be peace, let there be hope, for every girl and every boy.  

18. Let there be peace on earth. Let there be peace on earth. Let there be peace on earth.  Let there be peace on earth.  

19.   Let there be peace, let there be hope, let there be love, let there be joy. Let there be peace, let there be hope, for every girl and every boy.

20.   Let there be peace on earth, Let there be peace on earth, Glory to God in the highest and let there be peace on earth.

21.   Let there be peace on earth, Let there be peace on earth, Glory to God in the highest and let there be peace on earth.

22.   Let there be peace on, Let there be peace on, Let there be peace on earth! (x3)  

23. Calypso Carol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRt4x9-r5vA See him lying on a bed of straw Draughty stable with an open door Mary cradling the babe she bore The prince of glory is his name. Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem To see the Lord appear to men Just as poor as was the stable then The prince of glory when he came.

24. Star of silver sweeps across the skies Show where Jesus in the manger lies Shepherds swiftly from your stupor rise To see the Saviour of the world. Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem To see the Lord appear to men Just as poor as was the stable then The prince of glory when he came. Mine are riches from thy poverty From thine innocence, eternity Mine, forgiveness by thy death for me Child of sorrow, for my joy. Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem To see the Lord appear to men Just as poor as was the stable then The prince of glory when he came.

25. Angels, sing again the song you sang Bring God's glory to the heart of man Sing, "Bethlehem's little baby can Be salvation to the soul." Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem To see the Lord appear to men Just as poor as was the stable then The prince of glory when he came.

26. Three Kings Have Journeyed Far Three kings have journeyed far. They’re following a star. It leads them onward, clear and bright, Lighting up the darkest night. Three kings have journeyed far, They’re following a star. See the gifts they bring! Presents for a king, Gold and frankincense and myrrh. Following a star, Travelling afar Leads them to the holy baby.

27. We’ve travelled from the east, A thousand miles at least. We’ve crossed the deserts, land and seas, Searching for the Prince of Peace. We’ve travelled from the east, A thousand miles at least. See the gifts they bring! Presents for a king, Gold and frankincense and myrrh. Following a star, Travelling afar Leads them to the holy baby.

28. A child is born today. A star lights up his way. And soon they’ll kneel to the infant king, Offering the gifts they bring. A child is born today. A star lights up his way. See the gifts they bring! Presents for a king, Gold and frankincense and myrrh. Following a star, Travelling afar Leads them to the Holy baby.

29. Treading In The Footsteps We come, treading in the footsteps of the mighty kings, who travelled night and day to find You. Our hands do not carry gold or frankincense or myrrh; we come to You with treasures few.

30. Like those wise men of the Bible, we do not feel worthy to approach the Heavenly King. Yet you welcome us so freely, love us so completely; please accept the gifts we bring.

31. We find beauty in Your presence, blessing and acceptance; here we find our hopes renewed. Still, the miracle of Christmas has the power to touch us; Lord Emmanuel, we worship You.

32. Lord Emmanuel, we worship You. Lord Emmanuel, we worship You. Lord Emmanuel, we worship You.

33. O Come All Ye Faithful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tM5pwvUGMI O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant. O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; come and behold him, born the King of angels. O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

34. Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation, sing all ye citizens of heaven above; glory to God in the highest. O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
