Hymn 9words by Violet Hay

All glory be to God most high,And on the earth be peace,

The angels sang, in days of yore,The song that ne’er shall cease,Till all the world knows peace.

God’s angels ever come and go,All winged with light and love:

They bring us blessings from on high,They lift our thoughts above,

They whisper God is love.

O longing hearts that wait on GodThrough all the world so wide:

He knows the angels that you need,And sends them to your side,To comfort, guard and guide.

O wake and hear the angel-songThat bids all discord cease,

From pain and sorrow, doubt and fear,It brings us sweet release:

And so our hearts find peace.

Hymn 11words by Marion Susan Campbell

Angels at the Saviour’s birthWoke with music all the earth,Shepherds in the eastern skySaw a pale star passing by,

Guiding them at break of dayWhere the babe in meekness lay,Born the gracious news to tell,

God with us, Immanuel.

Star of being, still thy lightShines before us in the night,

By those radiant beams we findChrist, the Truth, for all mankind,

Still the tidings angels bringWith their joyful caroling,

Telling that the dawn has come,God and man for’er at one.

Hymn 310Words by John Randall Dunn

Sing, ye joyous children, sing,Glorious is the Christ, our king,Truth has come again to earth,

Through the lowly Saviour’s birth,Men and angels, anthems raise;

Hymns of joy and shouts of praise.Hear th’angelic song again;

Peace on earth, good will to men.Sing ye joyous children sing,

Glorious is the Christ, our king.

When the stars together sang,Then the truth triumphant rang;

Be there light; And there was light,Gone are chaos, fear and night;

Truth hath rolled the mists away;Dawns on earth harmonious day.

Hear th’angelic song again;Peace on earth, good will to men.

Sing ye joyous children sing.Glorious is the Christ, our king.

Joy to the World-Hymn 417words by Isaac Watts, adapted

Joy to the world, the Lord is come,Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare him room,And heaven and nature sing . . .

No more let sin and sorrow grow,Nor thorns infest the ground;

Where’er he comes,His blessings flow,

And hope and joy abound . . .

He rules the worldWith truth and grace,

And makes the nations proveThe glories of his righteousness

And wonders of his love . . .

O Come All Ye Faithfulwords attributed to John Wade

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;

O come, let us adore himO 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,In the highest;

O come, let us adore himO come, let us adore himO come, let us adore him,

Christ, the Lord.
