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;

Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation, sing all ye citizens of heav’n above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest. (To Refrain)
Yea, Lord we greet thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to thee be all glory giv’n'; Word of the father, now in flesh appearing. (To Refrain)
Offertory Hymn: Angels We Have Heard on High
Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o're the plains And the mountains in reply echo back their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo
Shepherds why this Jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? Say what may the tidings be Which inspire your heavenly 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
See him in a manger laid Whom the angels praise above; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid While we raise our hearts in love.
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis
Communion Solo: O Holy Night
Recessional Hymn: Joy to the World
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 men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
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.
