THE FRIENDLY BEASTS

Jesus our brother strong and good

Was humbly born in a stable rude.

And the friendly beasts around him stood

Jesus our brother, strong and good.

I, said the donkey, shaggy and brown,

I carried his mother uphill and downI carried his mother to Bethlehem town.

I, said the donkey, all shaggy and brown.

I, said the cow, all white and red

I gave him my manger for his bed

I gave him my hay to pillow his head.

I, said the cow, all white and red

I, said the sheep, with curly horn,

I gave him my wool for His blanket warm

He wore my coat on Christmas morn.

I, said the sheep, with curly horn.

I, said the camel, yellow and black,

Over the desert, upon my back,I brought Him a gift in the Wise Men's pack.

I, said the camel, yellow and black.

OCOME,ALL YE FAITHFUL

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,

Come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem.

Come and behold Him, born the King of angels;

O come, let us adore Him,



Christ the Lord.

True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal,

Lo, he shuns not the Virgin's womb;

Son of the Father, begotten, not created;




Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;

Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above!

Glory to God, all glory in the highest;




Christ the Lord.

See how the shepherds, summoned to His cradle,

Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;

We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps;

AWAY IN A MANGER

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,

The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,

But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky

And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay

Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,

And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.

JOY TO THE WORLDJoy 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,

CHRISTMAS CAROL

BY SARA TEASDALE

The kings they came from out the south,

All dressed in ermine fine,

They bore Him gold and chrysoprase,

And gifts of precious wine.

The shepherds came from out the north,

Their coats were brown and old,

They brought Him little new-born lambs --

They had not any gold.

The wise-men came from out the east,

And they were wrapped in white;

The star that led them all the wayDid glorify the night.

The angels came from heaven high,

And they were clad with wings;

And lo, they brought a joyful song

The host of heaven sings.

The kings they knocked upon the door,

The wise-men entered in,

The shepherds followed after them
