Go Tell it On the Mountain

Author: John W. Work III ( Negro Spiritual) (1848)

Refrain: Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain Our Jesus Christ is born /R While shepherds kept their watching o’er silent flocks by night, behold throughout the heavens there shone a holy light. /R The shepherds feared and trembled when lo! above the earth rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Savior’s birth. /R Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born, and God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn.  /R Preview

Once in royal David's city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1848)

1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall: with the poor, and mean, and lowly, lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 And through all his wondrous childhood he would honor and obey, love and watch the lowly maiden in whose gentle arms he lay: Christian children all shall be kind, obedient, good as he. 4 Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see him, but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high; when like stars his children crowned all in white shall gather round.

What child is this

Author: W. Chatterton Dix  Tune: GREENSLEEVES

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? [Refrain] This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary! Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians, fear, for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. /R So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come peasant king to own Him, The King of kings, salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him.  /R PREVIEW

The First Nowell

Author: Anonymous (1833)

The first Nowell, the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. [Refrain] Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east, beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. /R  And by the light of that same star Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went.  /R This star drew nigh to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest; And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay.  /R Then entered in those wise men three, Full rev'rently upon their knee, And offered there, in his presence, Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.  /R Now let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord; Who with the Father we adore And Spirit blest for evermore.  /R PREVIEW

O Come All Ye Faithful

"O Come, All Ye Faithful" (originally written in Latin as Adeste Fideles) is a Christmas carol that has been attributed to various authors, including St. Bonaventure in the 13th century, John Francis Wade (1711–1786), John Reading (1645–1692), King John IV of Portugal (1604–1656), and anonymous Cistercian monks.  The earliest printed version is in a book published by Wade, dating to 1751, and held by Stonyhurst College in Lancashire. Wikipedia

Translation : Frederick Oakeley  / In French: Peuple Fidèle
Latin Text and Music : J.F. 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; Refrain: O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, Christ, the Lord! God of God, Light of Light eternal, Lo! he abhors not the Virgin's womb; Son of the Father, begotten, not created, /R Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation, Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above: "Glory to God, all glory in the highest!"  /R Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning; Jesus, to thee be all glory giv'n; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;  /R On peut insérer un des couplets en latin: 1. Adeste fideles læti triumphantes, Venite, venite in Bethlehem. Natum videte Regem angelorum. Venite adoremus (ter) Dominum. 2. En grege relicto humiles ad cunas, Vocati pastores approperant, Et nos ovanti gradu festinemus. Venite adoremus (ter) Dominum. 3. Æterni Parentis splendorem æternum, Velatum sub carne videbimus, Deum infantem pannis involutum. Venite adoremus (ter) Dominum. 4. Pro nobis egenum et fœno cubantem Piis foveamus amplexibus ; Sic nos amantem quis non redamaret ? Venite adoremus (ter) Dominum.
