CHRISTMAS COLLAGE

Solo:
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

Harmony:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Round1:
God rest ye merry, gentlemen let nothing you dismay.
Remember, Christ, our Savior was born on Christmas day.
To save us all from Satan's power,

Round2:
God rest ye merry, gentlemen let nothing you dismay.
Remember, Christ, our Savior was born on Christmas day.

Round3:
God rest ye merry, gentlemen let nothing you dismay.
Remember, Christ, our Savior,

When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

We three kings of Orient are
bearing gifts we traverse afar
We three kings of Orient are
bearing gifts we traverse afar

Round2:
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Savior
Was born on Christmas day
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay

Round3:
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?

Harmony:
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard & angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary

Solo:
So bring him incense, gold & myrrh,
Come, peasant, king, to own him
The King of kings, salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone him.

Harmony:
Raise, raise the song on high.
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born.
The babe, the son of Mary
