[Verse 1]
 G                   C         G
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
    D                      G
The little Lord Jesus laid down
his sweet head.

The stars in the bright
           C            G
sky looked down where he lay,
    D           G
The little Lord Jesus
 Am       D   G
asleep on the hay.

[Verse 3]
   G
Be near me, Lord Jesus;
  C          G
I ask thee to stay
      D
Close by me forever,
    G
and love me I pray.

Bless all the dear children
   C         G
in thy tender care,
    D          G
And take us to heaven
   Am        D    G
to live with thee there.

[Verse 1]
G                  C
 O holy night! The stars
              G
 are brightly shining,
                       D7
It is the night of our dear
          G
Saviour's birth.
                      C
Long lay the world in sin
          G  G7
and error pining,
          Bm
Till He appear'd and
    F#7            Bm
the soul felt its worth.
  D7                  G
A thrill of hope, the weary
world rejoices,
    D7              G
For yonder breaks a new
and glorious morn.
Em           Bm
Fall on your knees!
  Am             Em
O hear the angel voices!

O night  divine, O night
                G
when Christ was born;

O night   divine, O night,
D7        G
O night Divine.

[Verse 2]
G                    C
 Led by the light of Faith
          G
 serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by
    D7        G
His cradle we stand
                   C
So led by light of a
             G   G7
star sweetly gleaming
              Bm
Here come the Wise Men
     F#7     Bm
from Orient land
    D7                G
The King of kings lay thus
in lowly manger
   D7                  G
In all our trials born to
be our friend
Em           Bm       Am
He knows our need, to our
               Em
weakness is no stranger
  G    D7   G    C
Behold your King;
       G  D7      G
before Him  lowly bend
  D7  D/C     G/B  C
Behold   your King;
  G    D7        G
before Him lowly bend

[Verse 3]
G                   C
 Truly He taught us to
           G
 love one another;
His law is love and
    D7        G
His gospel is peace

Chains shall He break,
    C                G  G7
for the slave is our brother
           Bm          F#7
And in His name all oppression
       Bm
shall cease
      D7              G
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful
chorus raise we
    D7            G
Let all within us praise
His holy name
Em            Bm
Christ is the Lord;
  Am                Em
O praise His name forever!
    G D7
His power and
G  C  G D7        G
glory evermore proclaim
    D7 D/C
His power and
G/B C G D7        G
glory evermore proclaim
