Christmas Carol Lyrics,
Sheet Music, and Guitar Tabs
Christmas carol lyrics celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
Although we do not know when Jesus's birth happened, the medieval church fastened upon a pagan holiday in an attempt to transform the hearts of communities worshiping "the old gods", in the old ways.
Angels We Have Heard on High Lyrics & Music
Children love singing the "Glo-o-o-ria" part of this pretty Christmas carol.
Visit this page to find lead sheets in several keys, a PDF of the lyrics, piano and guitar versions.
Coventry Carol sheet music, also known as Lully, Lullay
This is the story of King Herod's rage descending upon the baby boys of Bethlehem.
It is a sad story, like many in the Bible, but it is a gentle introduction to this part of Jesus' story.
Not originally considered a part of the Christmas story, this song has become so.
Coventry Carol is also known as "Lully, Lullay" and "Lulla, Lullay."
This is a very satisfying piano arrangement.
Gabriel's Message Lyrics and Sheet Music
This is the story of the angel Gabriel appearing to the young woman Mary, who would become the mother of the Messiah.
Isaiah 7:14: Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
A very lovely minor melody.
Lo, I Bring You Tidings, a Bible Christmas story
This song tells the story of the shepherds who heard the angel's message of Jesus's birth.
The account is told with words directly from scripture, and ends with Mary's thoughts:
"Here asleep the Song of God, and the Son of man... Heav'n and earth within him stand - Alleluia!"
The prophecy about where the Messiah would be born.
A good Bible verse to know... this song will help those who wish to memorize it.
Truly, it is difficult to untangle a Christian message from current Christmas-time festivities, gift-giving, and community goings-on, but a thin thread can often still be seen woven through the densest materialistic cloth.
God is the inventor of beauty and joy! Though an Enemy tries to twist all things away from their true purpose and bend "Good" into "Not Good", God is stronger.
"God's Grandeur" by Gerard Manley Hopkins captures this deep truth:
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.
And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
