III. Audience Sing Along

1. Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful

Oh, come, all ye faithful, Sing, choirs of angels, Joyful and triumphant Sing in exultation, Oh, come ye, Oh, come ye to Bethlehem; Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above! Come and behold Him Glory to God Born the king of angels: In the highest:

4 Oh, come, let us adore Him,

4 Oh, come, let us adore Him, Oh, come, let us adore Him,

4 Christ the Lord.

Oh, come, let us adore Him, Oh, come, let us adore Him, Oh, come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

2. 0 Little Town ofsefhlehem Lewis H. Redner 4 0 little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, 4 The silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth, The everlasting light,

For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above

4 4

While mortals sleep, the angels keep, Their watch of wondering love. The morning starts together, Proclaim the holy birth,

The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight.

4 3 . Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high, 4 Sweetly singing o'er the plains

And the mountains in reply, 4 Echoing their joyous strains 4 Gloria in excelsis Deo;

4 Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, why this jubilee? 4 m y your joyous strains prolong?

@ What the gladsome tidings be

And praises sini to God the King, ~ n d to all the earth!

French Carol 1

Which inspire your heav'nly song? Gloria in excelsis Deo; Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Come to Bethlehem and see, Him whose birth the angels sing; Come adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King. Gloria in excelsis Deo; Gloria in excelsis Deo.
