Choir will sing O Holy Night and put a little spin on Joyful, Joyful


Choir!  I hope you have all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends!  Here are your concert song lyrics and links to videos.  Remember, our version of Joyful Joyful will be just a little different than the video here.  BUT, if you can get their version down, you will have no problem with ours.  Also, remember to find your favorite version of "O Holy Night" to share with the group.  See you soon!


O HOLY NIGHT (Choirs)
 (http://youtu.be/MIFH0TUWcBA)

O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night
Of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt His worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine, oh night, oh night divine

Chains shall He break
For the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy
In grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord, let ever ever praise Thee
Noël, Noël
Oh night, Oh night divine
Noël, Noël
Oh night, Oh night divine
Noël, Noël
Oh, oh night, oh night divine



Joyful Joyful  (Choirs-gospel version)
(http://youtu.be/UnBZ4DNkjSg)

Verse 1 (first time in traditional style, 2nd time gospel style)
Joyful, Joyful
Lord, we adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of-- sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us
Fill us with the light of day
Light of day!
(REPEAT Verse 1)

Verse 2
All thy works with joy surround thee,
earth and heaven reflect thy rays,
stars and angels sing around thee,
center of unbroken praise. 
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain,
call us to rejoice in thee.

Bridge
Come and join the chorus
The mighty, mighty chorus
Which the morning stars begun
The Father of love is reigning over us
Break
Joy to the World
The Lord is come!
Let Earth receive its king!

Last Verse
Joyful, Joyful
Lord, we adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us--- Fill us with the light of
Fill us with the light of
Fill us with the light of day
Light of day!

Refrain  *Boys only to start
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

Verse 1  *All Girls
While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light:
(EVERYONE:) Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

Verse 2 *small group 7th Girls
The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour's birth:
(EVERYONE:)  Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

Verse 3 *7th Boys
Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God send us salvation,
That blessed Christmas morn:
(EVERYONE:) Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

Repeat 1st Verse *small group 7th Girls
EVERYONE on refrain-- repeat refrain--- repeat last line

3rd Graders are Rocking Some Recorder!


The third graders will make you proud at our 2012 Christmas concert!  Here are some lyrics and links to help them get prepared:

Recorder help for Ode to Joy:
TIPS: 1. Practice slowly first.  2. Practice one measure at a time.  3. Remember to shape your mouth like you are saying "dah."  4. If you're recorder is squeaking, you may not be covering the holes all the way or your lips may be too tight-- try relaxing a little. 
Here's a video you can play along with-- we only do the beginning parts:

SONG OF THE STABLE
(http://youtu.be/ZVRls0XQglo)

Verse 1
Chill of the nightfall
Lamps in the windows
Letting their light fall
Clear on the snow
Bitter December
Bids us remember
Christ in the stable
Long, long ago

Verse 2
Silence of midnight,
Voices of angels,
Singing to bid night
Yield to the dawn
Darkness is ended,
Sinners befriended,
Where in the stable
Jesus is born

(We are skipping verse 4)

Verse 3
Glory of daybreak!
Sorrows and shadows
Suddenly they break
Forth into morn
Sing out and tell now
All shall be well now
For in the stable
Jesus is born!


Vamos Pastores Vamos
(http://youtu.be/ZamEj9tCar8)

Vamos pastores vamos, vamos a Belén
a ver en aquel niño la gloria del Edén
a ver en aquel niño la gloria del Edén
la gloria del Edén, la gloria del Edén

Oh qué precioso niño yo me muero por él
su boquita me encanta, sus ojitos también
el padre lo acaricia, la madre mira en él
y los dos extasiados contemplan aquel ser
contemplan aquel ser
Si
Vamos pastores vamos, vamos a Belén
a ver en aquel niño la gloria del Edén
a ver en aquel niño la gloria del Edén
la gloria del Edén, la gloria del Edén

Es tan lindo el chiquito
que nunca podrá ser que su belleza copien
ni el lápiz ni el pincel
pues el eterno padre con su inmenso poder
hizo que el hijo fuera inmenso como él
inmenso como él
Si
Vamos pastores vamos, vamos a Belén
a ver en aquel niño la gloria del Edén
a ver en aquel niño la gloria del Edén
la gloria del Edén, la gloria del Edén

Los Peces en el Rio
(http://youtu.be/ociEaTj3Vis)

La Virgen se esta peinando
Entre cortina y cortina
Sus cabellos son de oro
El peine de plata fina

Pero mira como beben
Los peces en el rio
Pero mira como beben
Por ver al Dios nacido
Beben y beben
Y vuelven a beber
Los peces en el rio
Por ver al Dios nacer

La Virgen esta lavando
Y tendiendo en el romero
Los angelitos cantando
Y el romero floreciendo

Pero mira como beben
Los peces en el rio
Pero mira como beben
Por ver al Dios nacido
Beben y beben
Y vuelven a beber
Los peces en el rio
Por ver al Dios nacer

La Virgen se está lavando

Con un poquito jabón.

Se le han picado las manos,

manos de mi corazón.

Pero mira como beben
Los peces en el rio
Pero mira como beben
Por ver al Dios nacido
Beben y beben
Y vuelven a beber
Los peces en el rio
Por ver al Dios nacer

4th Grade is getting ready for Christmas!

The 4th graders are getting more and more comfortable with their recorders as they prepare for the Christmas concert.  Here are some lyrics and links to help them outside of school.


Angels We Have Heard on High
(http://youtu.be/lVLoTGB3nMU)   (I will post a video of our recorder part very soon-- play along with the YouTube video for now).


Gloria [sung as “Glo------ria”]
In excelsis Deo
Glo-------ria
In excelsis Deo

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains

Glo------ria
In excelsis Deo
Glo------ria
In excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King

Glo------ria
In excelsis Deo
Glo------ria
In excelsis Deo

Glo------ria
In excelsis Deo
Glo-------ria
In excelesis Deo
