Torches
Torches, Torches
Run with torches all the way to Bethlehem.
Christ is born and now lies sleeping.
Come and sing your song to Him (Repeat Verse)
Ah Ro-Ro , Ro-ro my baby
Ah, Roro, my love, Roro
Sleep you well my heart’s own darling, While we sing you our Roro
Sing my friends and make you merry
Joy and mirth and joy again
Lo, he lives the King of heaven, Now and ever more, Amen
Lo, he lives the King of heaven,
Now and ever , evermore, Amen

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Verse 1 solo
2. O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to men on earth For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
3. How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven
No ear may hear His coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still
The dear Christ enters in
4. O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel
We, Three Kings of Orient, Are
1.(ALL) We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
CHORUS: O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light
2. (SCHOOL) Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to rein

Sussex Carol
1. On Christmas night all Christians sing
To hear the news the angels bring (repeat)
News of great joy news of great mirth
News of our merciful King’s birth
2. Then why should men on earth be so sad
Since our Redeemer made us glad (repeat)
When from our sin he set us free
All for to gain our liberty?
3. When sin departs before his grace
Then life and health come in its place (repeat)
Angels and men with joy may sing
All for to see the newborn King
4. All out of darkness we have light
Which made the angels sing this night. (repeat)
Glory to God and peace to men
Now and forever more, Amen.

Come and behold him
Born the King of Angels:
O come, let us adore Him (x 3)
Christ the Lord.

Lo, he abhors not the Virgin’s womb;
Very God, begotten, not created:
O come, let us adore Him…..

Sing, all ye citizens of Heaven above!
Glory to God, glory in the highest:
O come, let us adore Him…..
