Libera The Christmas Album Lyrics
1.Joy To The World



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.

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.

Joy to the World Lyrics
Christmas Carol Lyrics


2.Still, Still, Still



Still still still
let all the earth be still
For Mary in her arms enfolding
Hope of all the world is holding
Still still still
let all the earth be still

Sing sing sing
sweet angel voices sing
While Jesus lies in manger dreaming
Seraph choirs from heaven are streaming
sing sing sing
sweet angel voices sing

Light light light
let all the earth be light
the holy star its news ablazing
sign of hope for nations raising
light light light
let all the earth be light

Sleep holy Jesus sleep

3.Carol Of The Bells



Hark how the bells,
sweet silver bells,
all seem to say,
throw cares away
Christmas is here,
bringing good cheer,
to young and old,
meek and the bold.
Ding dong ding dong
that is their song
with joyful ring
all caroling.
One seems to hear
words of good cheer
from everywhere
filling the air.
Oh how they pound,
raising the sound,
o'er hill and dale,
telling their tale.
Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here.
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.
On on they send,
on without end,
their joyful tone
to every home.
Ding dong ding... dong!


4.Veni, Veni Emmanuel



Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel

Veni, veni Emmanuel!
captivum solve Israel
qui gemit in exsilio
privatus Dei Filio

Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
nascetur pro te, Israel.


Veni, O Sapientia
quae hic disponis omnia
Veni, viam prudentiae
ut doceas et gloriae

O come, O come Emmanuel
and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee, O Israel

5.Once In Royal David's City



Once in royal Davids 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.

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 Saviour holy.

For He is our childhood's pattern;
Day by day, like us, He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles, like us He knew;
And He cares when we are sad,
And he shares when we are glad.

And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And He leads His children on,
To the place where He is gone.


6.O Holy Night

( ! )

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!


7.White Christmas



I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white


8.Corpus Christi Carol



He bare her up, he bare her down
He bare her into an orchard ground
Lully lullay, lully lullay
The falcon hath borne my mate away

And in that orchard there was a hall
That was hanged with purple and pall
And in that hall there was a bed
And it was hanged with gold so red

And on this bed there lyeth a knight
His wound is bleeding day and night
By his bedside kneeleth a maid
And she weepeth both night and day

By his bedside standeth a stone
'Corpus Christi' written thereon


9.In Dulci Jubilo



In dulci jubilo
Now sing with hearts aglow
Our delight and pleasure lies in praesepio
like sunshine is our treasure Matris in gremio
Alpha es et O

O Jesu parvule
For thee I long alway
Comfort my heart's blindness O puer optime
With all thy loving kindness O princpes gloriae
Trahe me post te

O patris caritas
O nati lenitas
Deeply were we stained per nostra crimina
But thou for us hast gained coelorum gaudia
O that we were there

Ubi sunt gaudia
in any place but there
There are angels singing in nova cantica
and there the bells are ringing in Regis curia
O that we were there

10.Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas



Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.


11.Sing The Story



Sing the story of the glory
in stable cold and dark came the miracle
Wonderful miracle, the redeemer of us all

Bleak the night as we come to worship you
Guard us on our way
Hard the road as we bring our gifts to you
Help us on we pray

Shining like silver the stars in the sky lead us to Bethlehem
Streaming from heaven the angels on high point us to Bethlehem

Bleak the night as we try to follow you
Guard us on our way
Hard the road as bring our lives to you
Help us on we pray

Shining like silver the stars in the sky lead us to Bethlehem

Streaming from heaven the angels on high point us to Bethlehem

Sing the story of the glory in stable cold and dark came the
miracle,
Wonderful miracle, the redeemer of us all

Sing the story the wonderful miracle
Sing the glory of love evermore


12.Coventry Carol



Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully lullay

o sisters too
How may we do
For to preserve this day?
This poor youngling
For whom we do sing
Bye bye, lully lullay!

Herod, the king
In his raging
Chargèd he hath this day
His men of might
In his own sight
All young children to slay

That woe is me
Poor child for thee!
And ever morn and day
For thy parting
Neither say nor sing
Bye bye, lully lullay!


13.The First Nowell



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

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel

They lookèd 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

This star drew nigh to the north-west
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of naught
And with his blood mankind hath bought


14.Jubilate Deo



Alleluia

Angels holy, high and lowly
Tell the story of the glory

Jubilate Deo

Jubilate deo omnis terra
Servite domino in laetitiae

Heaven soaring, stars adoring
Tell the story of the glory


15.While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks



While shepherds watched their flocks by night
all seated on the ground
the angel of the Lord came down
and glory shone around

'Fear not,' said he (for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind)
'glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and all mankind'


'To you in David's town this day
is born of David's line
a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord
and this shall be the sign'


16.Lullabye(Goodnight My Angel)

(:)

Goodnight my angel time to close your eyes
and save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
and you should always know, wherever you may go, no matter where
you are, I never will be far away

Goodnight my angel now it's time to sleep
and still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
when we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep, the water's dark and deep inside this
ancient heart you'll always be a part of me

Goodnight my angel now it's time to dream
and dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child will cry and if you sing this lullaby, then
in your heart there will always be a part of me

Someday we'll all be gone but lullabyes go on and on, they never
die
that's how you and I will be
