2017 Christmas Eve mashup

Good Christian friends, rejoice

Good Christian friends, 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!

Good Christian friends, rejoice,
with heart and soul and voice;
now ye hear of endless bliss:
Joy, joy! Jesus Christ was born for this!
He hath opened heaven’s door,
and now has blest us evermore.
Christ was born for this,
Christ was born for this!

Good Christian friends, 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!

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest you merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from all our sin
When we had gone astray

O Tidings of Comfort and Joy,
Comfort and Joy,
O Tidings of Comfort and Joy

In Bethlehem, in Jury,
This blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manger,
Upon that holy morn;
To which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn.

O Tidings of Comfort and Joy,
Comfort and Joy,
O Tidings of Comfort and Joy

Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
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

Come ye lofty, come ye lowly

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 wise men 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.
