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)

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)

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!
