SONGS OF CHRISTMAS

{Traditional}

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And free your captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the son of God appears

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, O bright and morning star
And bring us comfort from afar
Dispel the shadows of the night
And fill the whole world with light

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid all our sad divisions cease
And fill the whole world with peace

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel
To you shall come, Emmanuel

Lullay, lullay
My little tiny child
By-by, lullay, lullay
Lullay, lullay
My little tiny child
By-by, lullay, lullay

Oh, sisters two
How may we do
For to preserve this day?
This poor youngling
Of whom we do sing
By-by, lullay, lullay

Herod the King
In his raging
Charged he hath this day
His men of might
In his own sight
All children young to slay

Then woe is me
Poor child for thee
And ever mourn and may
For thy parting
Nor say nor sing
By-by, lullay, lullay

Lullay, lullay
My little tiny child
By-by, lullay, lullay

Lullay, lullay
My little tiny child
By-by, lullay, lu
By-by, lullay, lu
By-by, lullay, lu

For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on, the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on, the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
