Of the Father’s Love Begotten Plainsong Divinum mysterium arr. Robert Lehman

Of the Father’s love begotten, e’er the worlds began to be, he is Alpha and Omega, he the source, the ending he; Of the things that are, that have been, and that future years shall see, evermore and evermore!

O that birth forever blessed, when the Virgin full of grace, by the Holy Ghost conceiving, bare the Saviour of our race; And the Babe, the world’s Redeemer, firstrevealedhissacredface, evermore and evermore.

Christmas Day Gustav Holst 1874-1934

Good Christian men, rejoice With heart, and soul, and voice; Give ye heed to what we say: News! News! Jesus Christ is born today:Ox and ass before Him bow, And He is in the manger now. Christ is born today! Christ is born today!


God rest you, merry gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas Day, To save us all from woe and sin, When we were gone astray. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

In Bethlehem, in Jewry, This blessed Babe was born, And laid within a manger, Upon that holy morn; The which His Mother, Mary,Did nothing take in scorn. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

Good Christian men, rejoice With heart, and soul, and voice; Now ye hear of endless bliss: Joy! Joy! Jesus Christ was born for this!He hath oped the heav’nly door, And man is blessed evermore. Christ was born for this! Christ was born for this!

Come, ye lofty, come, ye lowly, Let your songs of gladness ring; In a stable lies the Holy, In a manger rests the King: See, in Mary’s arms reposing, Christ by highest heav’n adored: Come, your circle round Him closing, Pious hearts that love the Lord.

Come, ye poor, no pomp of station Robes the Child your hearts adore: He, the Lord of all salvation, Shares your want, is weak and poor: Oxen, round about behold them; Rafters naked, cold and bare, See the shepherds, God has told them That the Prince of Life lies there.

Come, ye children, blithe and merry, This one Child your model make; Christmas holly, leaf, and berry, All be prized for His dear sake; Come, ye gentle hearts, and tender, Come, ye spirits, keen and bold; All in all your homage render, Weak and mighty, young and old.

High above a star is shining, And the Wisemen haste from far: Come, glad hearts, and spirits pining: For you all has ris’n the star.Let us bring our poor oblations, Thanks and love and faith and praise: Come, ye people, come, ye nations, All in all draw nigh to gaze.Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.


This is he, whom seer and sibyl, sand in ages long gone by, This is he of old revealed in the page of prophecy; Lo! He comes, the promised Saviour, let the world his praises cry, evermore and evermore.

O ye heights of heav’n adore him, angel hosts, his praises sing, Pow’rs, Dominions, bow before him, and extol our God and King; let no tongue on earth be silent, every voice in concert ring, evermore and evermore!

Christ, to thee with God the Father, and, O Holy Ghost, to thee, hymn and chant and high thanksgiving, and unwearied praises be:Honor, glory, and dominion, and eternal victory, evermore and evermore! Amen.

Good Christian men, rejoice With heart, and soul, and voice; Now ye hear of endless bliss: Joy! Joy! Jesus Christ was born for this!He hath oped the heav’nly door, And man is blessed evermore. Christ was born for this! Christ was born for this!

Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, And with true love and brother hood Each other now embrace; This holy tide of Christmas All others doth deface. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

Good Christian men, rejoice With heart and soul, and voice; Now ye need not fear the grave: Peace! Peace! Jesus Christ was born to save! Calls you one, and calls you all, To gain His everlasting hall: Christ was born to save! Christ was born to save!

What Sweeter Music John Rutterb. 1945

Text by Robert Herrick 1591-1674

What sweeter music can we bring Than a carol, for to sing The birth of this our heav’nly King? Awake the voice! Awake the string!

Darkanddullnight,flyhenceaway,AndgivethehonourtothisdayThatseesDecemberturn’dtoMay,ThatseesDecemberturn’dtoMay.

Whydoesthechillingwinter’smornSmile,likeafieldbesetwithcorn?OrsmelllikeameadownewlyshornThusonthesudden?Come and see the cause, why things thus fragrant be: ‘Tis he is born, whose quick’ning birth Gives life and luster, public mirth,To heaven and the underearth.

Weseehimcome,andknowhimours,Who,withhissunshineandhisshow’rs,Turnsthepatientgroundtoflow’rs,Turnsallthepatientgroundtoflow’rs.Thedarlingoftheworldiscome,Andfititiswefindaroomtowelcomehim.

The nobler part of all the house is here, is the heart. Which we will give him; and bequeath This holly, and this ivy wreath To do him honour; who’s our King, And Lord of all this reveling.

What sweeter music can we bring Than a carol, for to sing The birth of this our heav’nly King,

Sans Day Carol Cornish Traditional Carol arr. John Rutter

Now the holly bears a berry as white as the milk, And Mary bore Jesus, who was wrapped up in silk: And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be, Andthefirsttreeinthegreenwood, It was the holly, holly, holly! Andthefirsttreeinthegreenwood, It was the holly!

Now the holly bears a berry as green as the grass, And Mary bore Jesus, who died on the cross: And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be, Andthefirsttreeinthegreenwood, It was the holly, holly, holly! Andthefirsttreeinthegreenwood, It was the holly!

What Is This Lovely Fragrance? Old French Carol Arr. Healey Willan

1880-1968Poem translated from the French by Ysobel

Whatisthislovelyfragrancewaftingliketothescentsofflow’rsinspring!Shepherds,Otellus,whencesuchbeauty,Hearyounotheav’nlycaroling?Whatisthislovelyfragrancewaftingliketothescentsofflow’rsinspring.

What is this light so fair, so tender, breaking upon our wond’ring eyes? Never the Morning Star so radiant Followed his course o’er eastern skies. What is this light so fair, so tender, breaking upon our wond’ring eyes?

Shepherds, O haste with eager footsteps Seek the Saviour, born to day. Low at His feet we lay our treasure, Heart’s adoration, love for aye. Shepherds, O haste with eager footsteps Seek the Saviour, born today.

Now the holly bears a berry as black as the coal,And Mary bore Jesus, who died for us all:And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be,Andthefirsttreeinthegreenwood,It was the holly, holly, holly!Andthefirsttreeinthegreenwood,It was the holly!

Now the holly bears a berry, as blood is it red,Then trust we our Saviour, who rose from the dead:And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be,Andthefirsttreeinthegreenwood,It was the holly, holly, holly!Andthefirsttreeinthegreenwood,It was the holly!

See Amid the Winter’s Snow John Goss1800-1880

arr. David Willcocks/Robert Lehman

See amid the winter’s snow, Born for us on earth below; See the tender Lamb appears, Promis’d from eternal years.Hail, thou ever blessed morn! Hail, redemption’s happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Lo, within a manger lies He who built the starry skies; He, who throned in height sublime, Sits amid the cherubim.Hail, thou ever blessed morn! Hail, redemption’s happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Say, ye holy shepherds, say What your joyful news today; Wherefore have ye left your sheep On the lonely mountain steep?Hail, thou ever blessed morn! Hail, redemption’s happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem.

As we watched at dead of night, Lo, we saw a wondrous light; Angels singing “Peace on earth” Told us of the Saviour’s birth.Hail, thou ever blessed morn! Hail, redemption’s happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Sacred Infant, all divine, What a tender love was thine, Thus to come from highest bliss Down to such a world as this.Hail, thou ever blessed morn! Hail, redemption’s happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Teach, O teach us, Holy Child, By thy face so meek and mild, Teach us to resemble thee, In thy sweet humility:Hail, thou ever blessed morn! Hail, redemption’s happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem.

In dulci jubilo Let us our homage shew; Our heart’s joy reclineth In praesepio And like a bright star shineth, Matris in gremio.Alpha es et O, Alpha es et O.

O Jesu parvule! My heart is sore for thee! Hear me, I beseech thee, O Puer optime! My prayer let is reach thee, O Princeps gloriæ!Trahe me post te! Trahe me post te!

O Patris caritas O Nati lenitas! Deeply were we stained Per nostra crimina; But thou has for us gained Caelorum gaudiaO that we, that we were there! O that we were there!

Ubi sunt gaudia, where, If that they be not there? There are angels singing Nova cantica, There the bells are ringing, In Regis curia:O that we were there, There are angels singing, There the bells are ringing In Regis curia: O that we were there, O that we were there!

Sing this night, for a boy is born in Bethlehem, Christ our Lord in a lowly manger lies; Bring your gifts, come and worship at his cradle, Hurry to Bethlehem and see the son of Mary. See his star, shining bright In the sky this Christmas Night! Follow me joyfully; Hurry to Bethlehem and see the son of Mary!

Archdiocesan Children’s Choir




Angels bright, come from heaven’s highest glory, Bear the news with its message of good cheer. “Sing rejoice, for a King is come to save us, Hurry to Bethlehem and see the son of Mary. See his star, shining bright In the sky this Christmas Night! Follow me joyfully; Hurry to Bethlehem and see the son of Mary!

See, he lies in his mother’s tender keeping; Jesus Christ in her loving arms asleep. Shepherds poor, come to worship and adore him, Offer their humble gifts before the son of Mary. See his star, shining bright In the sky this Christmas Night! Follow me joyfully; Hurry to Bethlehem and see the son of Mary!

Let us all pay our homage at the manger, Sing his praise on this joyful Christmas night; Christ is come, bringing promise of salvation; Hurry to Bethlehem and see the son of Mary!

Myn Lyking Richard Runciman Terry 1865-1938

arr. Robert Lehman I saw a fair mayden sytten and sing. She lulled a lyttel childe, a sweete Lording. Lullay myn lyking, my dere sonne, my sweeting. Lullay my dere herte, myn own dere derling.

That same Lord is he that made alle thing; Of alle lordis he is Lord, of alle kynges Kyng.

There was michle melody at that chylde’s birth. All that were in heav’nly bliss, they made mickle mirth.

Angels bright sang their song to that chylde; Blyssid be thou, and so be she, so meek and so mild.

I Sing of a Maiden Patrick Hadley1899-1973

I sing of maiden That is makeless; King of all kings To her son she ches.

He came all so still Where his mother was, As dew in April That falleth on the grass.

HecameallsostillTohismother’sbower,AsdewinAprilThatfallethontheflower.

He came all so still Where his mother lay, As dew in April That falleth on the spray.

Mother and maiden Was never none but she: Well may such a lady God’s mother be.

In the Bleak Midwinter Harold Drake 1888-1976

Poem by Christina Rossetti 1830-1894

In the bleak midwinter, Frosty wind made moan. Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone. Snow had fallen snow on snow, Snow on snow. In the bleak midwinter long ago.

OurGod,Heav’ncannotholdHim,NorearthsustainHeav’nandearthshallfleeaway.Whenhecomestoreign.Inthebleakmidwinter,AstableplacesufficedTheLordGodAlmightyJesusChrist.

Enough for Him whom cherubim, Worship night and day, A breast full of milk, And a mangerful of hay, Enough for Him, whom angels, Fall down before, The ox and ass and camel, which adore.

What can I give Him, Poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb. If I were a wise man, I would do my part, Yet what I can I give Him, give my heart.

The Holy Boy John Ireland1879-1962

Poem by Herbert S. Brown1872-1923

Lowly, laid in a manger, With oxen brooding nigh, The Heav’nly Babe is lying His Maiden Mother by.

Lo, the wayfaring sages, Who journey’d far through the wild, Now worship, silent, adoring, The Boy, The Heav’nly Child!

Leave your work and your playtime, And kneel in homage and prayer, The Prince of Love is smiling Asleep in his cradle there!

Christmas Night Melody from Arbeau’s Orchésographie (1588)Text & arr. John Rutter

Softly through the winter’s darkness shines a light, Clear and still in Bethlehem on Christmas Night Round the stable where a virgin mother mild Watches over Jesus Christ the holy child.

Shepherds kneel in adoration by his bed; Seraphim in glory hover round his head. Wise men, guided by the leading of a star, Bring him gifts of precious treasure from afar.

Choirs of angels sing to greet his wondrous birth: Christ our Lord in human form comes down to earth. ‘Glory to God in highest heav’n’ their joyful stain: ‘Peace on earth, goodwill to men’ the glad refrain.

Lullaby! The child lies sleeping: sing lullaby! Safe in Mary’s tender keeping: sing lullaby! Guardian angels keep their watch till break of day: Lullaby! Sweet Jesus sleeps among the hay.

Alleluia! Let the earth rejoice today! Christ is born to take our sins and guilt away. Praise the Lord who sent him down from heav’n above: Holy infant, born of God the Father’s love.

Fantasia on Christmas Carols Ralph Vaughan Williams

This is the truth sent from above, The truth of God, the God of love: Therefore don’t turn me from your door, But hearken all both rich and poor.

ThefirstthingwhichIwillrelateIsthatGoddidmancreate,ThenextthingwihichtoyouI’lltellWomanwasmadewithmantodwell.

Then, after this, ‘twas God’s own choice To place them both in Paradise, There to remain, from evil free, Except they ate of such a tree.

And they did eat, which was a sin, And thus their ruin did begin, Ruined themselves, both you and me, And all of their posterity.

Thus we were heirs to endless woes, Till God the Lord did interpose, And so a promise soon did run, That he would redeem us by his Son.

Elizabeth Schleicher, Soprano

Bend your heart to the wonder,The Birth, the Mystery mild,And worship, silent, adoring, The Holy Boy, The Heav’nly Child!

Dim the light of the lantern,And bare the mean abode,Yet gold and myrrh and incenseProclaim the Son of God.

Lowly laid in a mangerByVirginundefiled,Come worship, silent, adoring,The Boy, the Heav’nly Child!

Come all you worthy gentleman that may be standing by, Christ our blessed Saviour was born on Christmas day, The blessed Virgin Mary unto the Lord did pray. O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy! The blessed Virgin Mary unto the Lord did pray. O we wish you the comfort and tidings of job!

Christ our Blessed Saviour now in the manger lay He’s lying in the manger, while the oxen feed on hay. The blessed Virgin Mary unto the Lord did pray. O we wish you the comfort and tidings of job! The blessed Virgin Mary unto the Lord did pray. O we wish you the comfort and tidings of job!

On Christmas night all Christians sing To hear the news the angels bring. On Christmas night all Christians sing To hear the news the angels bring. News of great joy, news of great mirth, News of our merciful King’s birth. News of great joy, news of great mirth, News of our merciful King’s birth.

When sin departs before thy grace, Then life and health come in its place. When sin departs before thy grace, Then life and health come in its place. Angels and men with joy may sing All for to see the newborn King. Angels and men with joy may sing All for to see the newborn King.

God bless the ruler of this house and long on may he reign, From out of darkness we have light, Which makes the angels sing this night. Many happy Christmases he live to see again From out of darkness we have light, Which makes the angels sing this night, God bless our generation, who live both far and near And we wish them a happy New Year. “Glory to God and peace to men. Both now and evermore, Amen.”

God bless the ruler of this house And long on may he reign, Many happy Christmases he live to see again!

God bless our generation, who live both far and near And we wish them a happy New Year, Both now and evermore, Amen.
