Virtual Christmas Carol Concert – Song lyrics

On This page you will find the lyrics to all of the songs that will be part of the carol service, if you’d like to sing along loudly at home. Alternatively you could turn on the subtitles as you watch – they should also contain the lyrics.

Verse 1:

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

Verse 2:

Joy to the earth! the Saviour reigns
Let men their songs employ;
While field and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

Verse 3:

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 Hs love, and wonders, wonders of His Love

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;

Chorus:

O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him, 
Christ the Lord!

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation; Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above: “Glory to God, all glory in the highest!”

(chorus)

Yea, Lord we greet Thee, Born that happy morning; Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv’n.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing:

(chorus)

[Verse 1]

Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

[Chorus]
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You’re my God
You’re altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

[Verse 2]

King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in Heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for loves sake became poor

I’ll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I’ll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, All is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so Tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleleulia
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the saviour is born.

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord at thy birth,
Jesus Lord at thy birth.

O Holy night The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour’s 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 Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine O night When Christ was born
O night Di-vine O night O night di-vine

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break For the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy In grateful chorus raise we
Let all with-in us praise His Holy name
Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever

Noel Noel O night O night divine
Noel Noel O night O night divine
Noel Noel O night O night divine

Now we have been through the harvest
Winter has truly begun
Now we have walked in the chill of the night
We are waiting for, waiting for
For the Saviour’s Day

Many have come from the valleys
Many have come from the hills Many have started their journey home
To be with someone, with someone
on the Saviour’s Day

CHORUS
Open your eyes on Saviour’s Day
Don’t look back or turn away
Life can be your’s if you’ll only stay
He is calling you, calling you
On the Saviour’s Day

Joining the old and the young ones
Joining the black and the white
Meeting the need of the hungry is he
Will we ever remember him
On the Saviour’s Day

CHORUS

Here’s to the God of the present Here’s to the God of the past 
Here’s to the hope in the future he brings
We will sing to him, sing to him
On the Saviour’s Day

CHORUS

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would calm the storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God

Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?

The blind will see, the deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you’re
Holding is the great, I Am
