Torches, torches
Run with torches
All the way to Bethlehem!
Christ is born and now lies sleeping;
Come and sing your song to Him.
Ah, Roro, Roro my baby
Ah, Roro my love, Roro
Sleep you well, my heart's own darling,
While we sing you our Roro.
Sing, my friends, and make you merry
Joy and mirth and joy again;
Lo, He lives, the King of heaven,
Now and evermore, Amen.

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 let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
God of God, Light of Light
Lo! He abhors not the Virgin's womb
Very God, begotten, not created:
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation;
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above:
"Glory to God in the highest!"
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Yea, Lord we greet thee, born that happy morning;
Jesus to thee be all glory giv'n,
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing:
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

My soul doth magnify the Lord,
and my spirit doth rejoice in God my Saviour.
For He that is mighty hath done great things.
And Holy is His name.
His mercy is upon them that fear him,
from generation to generation.
He has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.
He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath brought down rulers from their thrones.
But hath lifted, lifted the humble
Luke 1:46-52

What will we call this pretty little baby?
Baby born in Bethlehem
Christ the Lord the newborn King.
Where was He born, this pretty little baby?
Down in a lowly manger.
Where His birth was in a stable.
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Born this night, the Son of Mary.
Hail the heav'n-born Prince of peace
Glory to the newborn King
Glory, Glory, Glory to the newborn King.
Children, Go and tell it on the mountain,
Lord, over the hills and everywhere.
Why don't you go, tell it on the mountain, Lord,
That Jesus Christ is born.

Sung in Hatian, Creole & Latin:
The Lord be with you
The Lord is with us,
He is among us,
He is in the depths of our hearts,
Amen, Amen, Alleluia.
Since the beginning of time
We have been searching, seeking, asking:
When will the light come, at last, to deliver us?
The light of peace,
The light of deliverance,
The light of truth,
The light of joy,
The light of hope,
The light of love,
The light of life.
When at last?
Today, let us all sing:
“Dominus vobiscum”
The Lord is with us,
He is among us,
He is in the depths of our hearts.

Hark! The herald-angels sing
"Glory to the newborn king;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies,
With the angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald-angels sing
"Glory to the new-born king"
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.
Hark! The herald-angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
Hail the Heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings;
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born king"

I will sing of your great love forever,
—in the forever of your fields of snow—
Tú Señor eres nuestro escudo
sing in the wind of the cold night,
and in winter’s sparkling glow.
Tú Señor eres nuestro escudo
Tú Señor eres nuestro escudo
I will sing Señor on the surging sea
when all the waves mount up you still them.
Tú Señor eres nuestro escudo
When you, Señor, spread your hand above
the white washes calm, overwhelmed.
Tú Señor eres nuestro escudo
Tú Señor eres nuestro escudo
In a vision you spoke to your people,
You bestowed on us a warrior’s strength.
Tú Señor eres nuestro escudo
Your love will sustain and strengthen us
and our power grows from your blessings.
Tú Señor eres nuestro escudo
Tú Señor eres nuestro escudo

See, amid the winter's snow,
Born for us on Earth below,
See, the tender Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years.
Hail, thou ever blessed morn,
Hail redemption's happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Lo, within a manger lies
He who built the lofty skies;
He, who, throned in light sublime,
Sits among the cherubim.
Sacred Infant, all divine,
What a tender love was Thine,
Thus to come from highest bliss
Down to such a world as this.

Silent night! Holy Night! All is calm, all is bright
’round yon virgin mother and child!
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night! Holy night! Son of God, love's pure light,
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth! Jesus, Lord, at thy birth!
Silent night! Holy night! Wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing Alleluia to our King:
"Christ the Savior is born! Christ the Savior is born!"
