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?

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 Christian, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.

Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king, to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Raise, raise a song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Spanish Lyrics:

¿Qué niño es éste que al dormir
En brazos de María,
Pastores velan, ángeles
Le cantan melodías?

CORO:
El es el Cristo, el Rey;
Pastores, ángeles cantad;
Venid, venid a él,
Al hijo de María

¿Por qué en humilde establo asi_
El niño es hoy nacido?
Por todo injusto pecador
Su amor ha florecido.
(Coro)

Traed ofrendas en su honor,
El rey como el labriego;
Al Rey de reyes, Salvador,
Un trono levantemos.

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 host sing alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior 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.

¡Noche de Paz, Noche de Amor!

¡Noche de paz, noche de amor!
Todo duerme en derredor,
Entre los astros que esparcen su luz,
Bella anunciando al niñito Jesús,
Brilla la estrella de paz,
Brilla la estrella de paz.

¡Noche de paz, noche de amor!
Oye humilde el fiel pastor
Coros celestes que anuncian salud,
Gracias y glorias en gran plenitud,
Por nuestro buen Redentor,
Por nuestro buen Redentor.

¡Noche de paz, noche de amor!
Ved que bello resplandor
Luce en el rostro del niño Jesús,
En el pesebre del mundo la luz,
Astro de eterno fulgor.
Astro de eterno fulgor.

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth;
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth;
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn,
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices,
O night divine, O night when Christ was born,
O night divine— O night, O night divine.

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace;
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,
And in his name all oppression shall cease;
Sweet hymns of joy, in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name;
Christ is the Lord! Oh praise his name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!

Spanish Lyrics:
Santa La Noche

Santa la noche hermosas las estrellas
La noche cuando nació el Señor
El mundo envuelto estuvo en sus querellas.
Hasta que Dios nos envió al Salvador
Una esperanza todo el mundo siente
La luz de un nuevo día al fin brillo
Hoy adorad, a Cristo reverente,
¡Oh, noche divina!
¡Nació el Salvador!
Divina noche
De Cristo el Señor

Nos enseñó a amar entre nosotros
Su ley amor, su evangelio trae paz
Nos enseñó que hermanos somos todos
y de opresión El nos lleva a Su luz
Gozosos hoy con gratitud cantando
Al nombre del Señor cantad con dulce alabanza
Hoy su poder y gloria proclamando,
A Cristo dad gloria
y honor y majestad
Dad Gloria eterna
A Cristo el Salvador

Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming
Words: 15th Century German Carol, tr. Theodore Baker, 1894. Music: Es Ist Ein Ros’, 1599, arr Sufjan Stevens.

Lo, how a Rose e’er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse’s lineage coming,
As those of old have sung.
It came, a flower bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.

Isaiah ’twas foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind;
And so then we behold it,
The virgin mother kind.
To show God’s love aright,
She bore to us a Savior,
When half spent was the night.

This Flower, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor
The darkness everywhere;
True Man, yet very God,
From sin and death He saves us,
And lightens every load.

O Savior, Child of Mary,
Who felt our human woe,
O Savior, King of glory,
Who dost our weakness know;
Bring us at length we pray,
To Thy bright court of heaven,
And to Thy endless day!

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 world! 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.

CHORUS:
The Lord is come, The Lord is come!
Joy to the world! The Lord is come!

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.
(Chorus)

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.
(Chorus)
