Angels in Christmas Carols
O come all ye faithful | “Come and behold him, born the king of angels” |
“Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation, sing all ye citizens of heaven above.” | |
Angels from the realms of glory | “Angels from the realms of glory, wing your flight o’er all the Earth” |
The First Noel | “The first Noel the Angels did say, was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay” |
Angels we have heard on high | “Angels we have heard on high, singing sweetly through the night” |
It came upon a midnight clear | ” Angels bending near the Earth to touch their harps of gold” |
“Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled” | |
O little town of Bethlehem | “While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love” |
“We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell” | |
Hark the herald angels sing | “Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the new born king!” |
Mary’s boy child | “Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today” |
Ding dong merrily on high | “Ding dong verily the sky, is riven with angels singing” |
While shepherds watched | “The angel of the Lord came down, and glory shone around” |
“Thus spake the seraph and forthwith appeared a shining throng of angels praising God” | |
God rest ye Merry Gentlemen | “Fear not,”” then said the Angel, let nothing you affright,” |
Joy to the World | “And Saints and angels sing: Joy to the world, the saviour reigns” |
Silent night | “With the angels, let us sing, Alleluia to our King” |
