Adeste Fideles
Traditional Melody
Free translation by the
Rt. Rev. Hugh T. Henry, Litt. D., L.L.D.
1.
Ye faithful, with gladness,
Banishing all sadness,
O Come ye, O come ye to
Bethlehem! See to us given
Christ, the King of Heaven!
Chorus
While angels hover o'er Him,
And shepherds kneel before Him
O Come, let us adore Him,
Lord And King.
2.
Dear Mary, His Mother,
Give to us as Brother
The Lord whom the angels are
Worshipping: God the eternal
Light of Light supernal!
3.
Again sounding o'er us,
Let the Angel chorus
The anthem of gladness and
Triumph sing: "Glory be given
To the Lord of Heaven!"
4.
Our voices no blending
With their songs unending,
All-joyful, dear Jesus, Thy
Glory sing, Be our endeavor
Thus to praise Thee ever!

CHRISTMAS
See, amid the winter's snow
Rev. E. Caswall
Traditional Melody
Allegretto
1.
See, amid the winter's snow,
Born to us on earth below;
See the tender lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years.
Chorus
Hail, thou ever blessed morn,
Hail, Redemption's happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
2.
Lo, within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies;
He, who throned in heights sublime,
Sits amid the Cherubim.
3.
Sacred Infant all divine,
What a tender love was Thine;
Thus to come from highest bliss,
Down to such a world as this.
4.
Teach, oh teach us, holy Child,
By Thy Face so meek and mild;
Teach us to resemble Thee
In Thy sweet humility.
5.
Virgin Mother, Mary blest
By the joys the fill thy breast,
Pray for us, that we may prove
Worthy of the Saviour's love.

CHRISTMAS
O Dear Little Children
Carol
Translated by Sister Jeanne Marie
Traditional Melody
Arr. By N. A. M.
Moderato semplice
1.
O dear little children, O come one and all,
Draw near to the crib, here in Bethlehem's stall,
And see what a bright ray of heaven's delight
Our Father has sent on this thrice holy night.
2.
O see in the crib low concealing His might,
See here by the rays of the clear shining light,
In cleanliest swaddle the Heavenly Child
More beauteous than legions of hosts undefiled.
3.
He lies there, O children, on hay and on straw
Dear Mary and Joseph regard Him with awe,
The shepherds, adoring, bow humbly in pray'r,
Angelical choirs with song rend the air.
4.
O children bend low and adore Him today,
O lift up your hands like the shepherds and pray,
Sing joyfully, children, with hearts full of love
In jubilant song join the angels above.

CHRISTMAS
Angels we have heard on high
Bishop Chadwick
Nicola. A. Montani
Allegro moderato
1.
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
2.
Shepherd, why this jubilee?
Why your rapturous strains prolong?
What may the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav'nly song?
3.
Come to Bethlehem, and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
4.
See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.

CHRISTMAS
The snow lay on the ground
Old English Carol
Rev. Dr. Lingard
Edv. Grieg
Arr. By N. A. M.
Non troppo lento
1.
The snow lay on the ground, the stars shone bright
When Christ our Lord was born on Christmas night.
2.
'Twas Mary, daughter pure of holy Anne,
That brought into this world the God made Man.
3.
She laid Him in the stall at Bethlehem;
The ass and oxen shared the roof with him.
4.
Saint Joseph to was by, to tend the Child;
To guard Him, and protect His Mother mild.
5.
The angels hovered 'round, and sang this song;
"Venite, adoremus Dominum."
6.
And then that manger poor became a throne;
For He whom Mary bore was God the Son.
7.
O come then, let us join the heav'nly host,
To praise the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
