All Bells in Paradise..........................................John Rutter

Your turn to join us:

I Heard the Bells on Christmas DayI heard the bells on Christmas day, their old familiar carols play,And wild and sweet the words repeat: Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bow'd my head; "There is no peace on earth," I said,"For hate is strong, and mocks the song of peace on earth, good will to men.

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is no dead, nor doth he sleep;The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, good will to men"

What Child Is This?What child is this, who, laid to rest, on Mary's lap is sleeping?Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping? CHORUS

CHORUS: This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:Haste, haste to bring Him laud – The Babe, the son of Mary.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh – Come, rich and poor, to own Him?The King of Kings, salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him, CHORUS

Glory to God........................................................G.F. Handelfrom the “Messiah”. Featuring Patricia Charette singing the Recitative.

See in Yonder Manger LowSee in yonder manger low, Born for us on earth below,See the gentle Lamb appears, promised from eternal years. CHORUS

CHORUS: Hail, O ever blessed morn; Hail redemption's happy dawn;Sing through all Jerusalem: "Christ is born in Bethlehem!"

Lo, within a stable lies, He who built the starry skies,He who, throned in height sublime, Sits amid the cherubim CHORUS

Teach, oh, teach us, holy Child, By thy face so meek and mild,Teach us to resemble Thee, in thy sweet humility. CHORUS

Still, Still, StillStill, still, still, He sleeps this night so chill!The virgin's tender arms enfolding, Warm and safe the Child are holding,Still, still, still, He sleeps this night so chill.

Sleep, sleep, sleep, he lies in slumber deep.While angels hosts from heav'n come winging,Sweetest songs of joy are singing,Sleep, sleep, sleep, He lies in slumber deep.
