5. While Shepherds Watch All sing While shepherds watched their flocks by night, all seated on the ground, the angel of the Lord came down, and glory shone around.
6. While Shepherds Watch All sing ‘ Fear not,’ said he, for mighty dread had seized their troubled mind, ‘ glad tidings of great joy I bring to you and all mankind.’
7. While Shepherds Watch All sing ‘ 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:
8. While Shepherds Watch All sing ‘ The heavenly babe you there shall find to human view displayed, all meanly wrapped in swathing bands, and in a manger laid.’
9. While Shepherds Watch All sing ‘ All glory be to God on high, and on the earth be peace, goodwill henceforth from heaven to all begin and never cease.’
13. All sing 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!
14. All sing 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. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, born is the King of Israel!
15. All sing 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. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, born is the King of Israel!
16. All sing 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. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, born is the King of Israel!
17. All sing Then entered in those wise men three, full reverently upon their knee, and offered there in his presence, their gold and myrhh and frankincense. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, born is the King of Israel!
18. All sing 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 hath bought. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, born is the King of Israel!
22. 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 All Ye Faithful All sing

38. All sing Hark, the herald Angels sing, glory to the new-born King.
39. Hark the Heralds Angels Sing All sing Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, late in time behold him come, offspring of a Virgin’s womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see! Hail the incarnate Deity! Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel:
