CHRISTMAS EVE LYRICS
(FIR STREET PARK:
OUTDOOR 2024)

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

Come they told me, parum pum pum pum
A newborn King to see, parum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, parum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
So to honour Him, parum pum pum pum...
When we come

Little baby, parum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, parum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, parum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our King, parum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you, parum pum pum pum...
On my drum

Mary nodded, parum pum pum pum
The ox and Lamb kept time, parum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, parum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, parum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me, parum pum pum pum...
Me and my drum

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

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

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

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

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him 
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord

Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God, glory in the highest

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him 
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this holy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be all glory given
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him 
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord

We’ll give You all the glory,
We’ll give You all the glory
We’ll give You all the glory, Jesus

For You alone are worthy,
For You alone are worthy
For You alone are worthy, Jesus

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him 
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord

WHAT CHILD IS THIS

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 lamb are feeding?
Good Christians fear for sinners here,
The silent Word is pleading.

Nails, spears shall pierce Him through
The cross He bore 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

O HOLY NIGHT

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth         

A thrill of hope, the weary soul 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! O praise His name forever
His power
And glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim

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!
Night...
O night divine...
O night... O night divine

SILENT NIGHT

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 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
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

ALL GLORY BE TO CHRIST

Should nothing of our efforts stand,
No legacy survive
Unless the Lord does raise the house
In vain its builders strive

To you who boast tomorrow’s gain,
Tell me what is your life
A mist that vanishes at dawn,
All glory be to Christ

All glory be to Christ our King,
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign we’ll ever sing,
All glory be to Christ

His will be done His kingdom come,
On earth as is above
Who is Himself our daily bread,
Praise Him the Lord of love

Let living water satisfy,
The thirsty without price
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
All glory be to Christ

All glory be to Christ our King,
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign we’ll ever sing,
All glory be to Christ

When on the day the great I Am,
The faithful and the true
The Lamb who was for sinners slain
Is making all things new

Behold our God shall live with us
And be our steadfast light
And we shall ever his people be,
All glory be to Christ

All glory be to Christ our King,
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign we’ll ever sing,
All glory be to Christ
