Christmas Collage

Oh come, oh come Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the son of God appear

Rejoice, rejoice Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, oh Israel

God rest ye merry gentlemen let nothing you dismay

Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day

To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

God rest ye merry gentlemen let nothing you dismay

What child is this, who, laid to rest on Mary's lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring Him laud

The babe, the son of Mary

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh

Come peasant, king to own Him

The King of Kings, salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Raise, raise the song on high

The virgin sings her lullaby

Joy, joy for Christ is born

The babe, the son of Mary
