Christmas Carols, Hymns and Songs Free

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Words: Isaac Watts, The Psalms of David, 1719.

Music: Antioch, arranged by Lowell Mason, 1836

The origin of the Christmas carol we know as Silent Night was a poem that was written in 1816 by an Austrian priest called Joseph Mohr. On Christmas Eve in 1818 in the small alpine village called Oberndorf it is reputed that the organ at St. Nicholas Church had broken. Joseph Mohr gave the poem of Silent Night (Stille Nacht) to his friend Franz Xavier Gruber and the melody for Silent Night was composed with this in mind. The music to Silent Night was therefore intended for a guitar and the simple score was finished in time for Midnight Mass. Silent Night is the most famous Christmas carol of all time!

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth "

A Swing Version of the Classic Carol

1. God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.
For Jesus Christ our Savior,
Was born on Christmas Day;
To save us all from Satan’s power,
When we were gone astray.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.

2. In Bethlehem, in Israel,

this blessed Babe was born,

and laid within a manger

upon this blessed morn

The which His Mother Mar-y

did nothing take in scorn.

3. From God our heav'nly Father,

a blessed angel came

And unto certain shepherds

brought tidings of the same

How that in Bethlehem was born the

Son of God by name.

4. Fear not, then said the Angel,
Let nothing you affright,
This day is born a Savior,
Of virtue, power, and might;
So frequently to vanquish all,
The friends of Satan quite;

Chorus

5. The shepherds at those tidings,
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a feeding,
In tempest, storm, and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straightway,
This blessed babe to find:

Chorus

6. But when to Bethlehem they came,
Whereas this infant lay
They found him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;
His mother Mary kneeling,
Unto the Lord did pray:

Over the hills and far away 

Go tell it on the mountain 

That Jesus Christ is born 

The shepherds all were watching 

Over their sheep at night 

When a guiding star shone from heaven 

And the followed that holy light 

Got tell it on the mountain 

Over the hills and everywhere 

Go tell it on the mountain 

That Jesus Christ is born 

They found a lovely manger 

Where the humble Christ was born 

And God sent out salvation 

On that blessed Christmas morn 

Go tell it on the mountain 

Over the hills and everywhere 

Go tell it on the mountain 

That Jesus Christ is born 

He brought with Him forgiveness 

He live to show us the way 

He came to redeem all creation 

And to wash all our sins away 

Go tell it on the mountain 

Over the hills and everywhere 

Go tell it on the mountain 

That Jesus Christ is born

Our Version of The Classic Christmas Carol

AWAY IN A MANGER

Words: Unknown, 1885 (verses 1 & 2)
Verse 3: Attributed to John Thomas McFarland, 1887 (1851-1913)

Verse 4: written by Shiloh Worship Music


1. Away in a manger, no crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep in the hay.

2. The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby wakes.
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky.
And stay by the cradle till morning is nigh.

3. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay,
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray!
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And take us to heaven, to Live with Thee there.

4. I love thee Lord Jesus are always my friend

You guiding and you lead me till heavens my end

You came down from heaven salvation to bring

Your people now praise you with angels we sing

He's the Reason for the Season

A Little Baby Was Born in a Manger

He Didn't Have a Thing

The Prince of Peace Well He Came As A Pauper

And All Creation Sings:

Here's the Reason for the Season–I Recall

The Hope of Heaven  Found Redemption

From Adam's Fall- Jesus!

Adam Fell in the Garden of Eden

His Sin  Cost Us Everything

The Father Sent the Son

And Redemption Begun

In the Cry Of That Baby Boy

All I Want for Christmas This Year

Is to Have Your Presence, So Close, and So Near

To Me–Oh to Me!

Jesus!

And All the Angels in Heaven Were Singing

There Were Even Three Kings

They Bowed Their Knees to This Tiny Little Baby

Who Redemption Would Bring

And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.

To us the path of knowledge show,

From depths of hell Thy people save,

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,

And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.

In ancient times once gave the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.

The First Noel, the Angels 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.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
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.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

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.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and stay
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

Then entered in those Wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel! 

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel! 

The First Noel is unknown in origin but is generally thought to be English dating back to the sixteenth century. There is a misconception that the First Noel was French and it is believed that this is because of the French spelling of Noel as opposed to the olde English Anglo-Saxon spelling of the word as in Nowell. After England was captured by the Normans numerous words were adopted from the Norman French language and Noel was re-spelt as Nowell, early printed versions of this carol use the Nowell spelling. The First Noel was first published in 1833 when it appeared in "Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern," a collection of seasonal carols gathered by William B. Sandys.
