Christmas Eve EVE Carol Song Lyrics

JOY TO THE WORLD (UNSPEAKABLE JOY)
by Isaac Watts (1719), Chris Tomlin

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

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let all their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

Joy, unspeakable joy
An overflowing well
No tongue can tell
Joy, unspeakable joy
It rises in my soul
Never lets me go

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
by Charles Wesley (1739)

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 angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem”

Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born king"

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 the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with men to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel

Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!

Hail, the heav'n-born
Prince of peace
Hail the Son 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 sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!

Peace is here
Fear is gone

Let our hearts not be afraid

Love is born
This holy night

Let our hearts not be afraid
Dwelling here with us forever
Jesus Christ is born today

Hallelujah
Our everlasting Light
Hallelujah

He will be our sanctuary
Let our hearts not be afraid
Dwelling here with us forever
Jesus Christ is born today

SILENT NIGHT
by Franz X. Gruber (1818)

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 Savior, is born!

Christ, the Savior, is born!

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,

Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.
 
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!

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
by John Wesley Work, Jr. (1865)

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a Holy light

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

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the Earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And brought us all salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

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

I was a lonely seeker
I sought both night and day
I asked the Lord to help me
And he showed me the way

He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall
And if I am a Christian
I am the least of all

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

Go tell it
Go tell it
Go tell it
Go on and tell it
