This Christmas Night

Sleep my child and peace attend thee
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
Ar' my loved ones watch and keeping
All through the night

The first Noel
The angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay;
In fields were they lay, keeping their sheep
On a cold Winter's night that was deep

Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the king of Israel

Oh, little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shine
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

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

The cattle are lowing the poor baby wakes
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

What child is this
Who lay to rest
On Merry's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthem sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this, is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring him grace,
The Babe, the son of Mary

It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the Earth
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the Earth, goodwill to men
From heaven's own gracious king."
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

Oh holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear saviors birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine o night
O night divine

Fall on your knees
(Fall on your knees)
For hear the angel voices
Oh night (Oh night)
Divine (Divine)

Oh night (Oh night)
When Christ was born
(When Christ was born)
Oh night divine
Oh, night, oh night divine
