Joyful Noise

A Night of Christmas Caroling in West Wing

Carols & Lyrics

  • Away in a manger
    No crib for a bed
    The little Lord Jesus
    Laid down His sweet head

    The stars in the bright sky
    Looked down where He lay
    The little Lord Jesus
    Asleep on the hay

    The cattle are lowing
    The Baby awakes
    But little Lord Jesus
    No crying He makes

    I love You, Lord Jesus
    Look down from the sky
    And stay by my side
    Until morning is nigh

    Be near me, Lord Jesus
    I ask You to stay
    Close by me forever
    And love me I pray

    Bless all the dear children
    In Your tender care
    And fit us for heaven
    To live with You there

  • Hark! the herald angels sing,
      “Glory to the new-born King;
    Peace on earth, and mercy mild;
      God and sinners reconciled.”
    Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
      Join the triumph of the skies;
    With angelic hosts proclaim,
      “Christ is born in Bethlehem.”

    Refrain:
    Hark! the herald angels sing,
      “Glory to the new-born King!”

    Christ, by highest heav’n adored,
      Christ, the everlasting Lord:
    Late in time behold Him come,
      Offspring of a virgin’s womb.
    Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
      Hail th’ incarnate Deity!
    Pleased as man with man to dwell,
      Jesus our Immanuel.

    Refrain:
    Hark! the herald angels sing,
      “Glory to the new-born King!”

    Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
      Hail the Sun of righteousness!
    Light and life to all He brings,
      Ris’n 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.

    Refrain:
    Hark! the herald angels sing,
      “Glory to the new-born King!”

  • Dashing through the snow
    In a one-horse open sleigh
    O'er the fields we go
    Laughing all the way
    Bells on bob tail ring
    Making spirits bright
    What fun it is to ride and sing
    A sleighing song tonight!

    Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells,
    Jingle all the way.
    Oh! what fun it is to ride
    In a one-horse open sleigh. Hey!
    Jingle bells, jingle bells,
    Jingle all the way;
    Oh! what fun it is to ride
    In a one-horse open sleigh.

  • O little town of Bethlehem
    How still we see thee lie
    Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
    The silent stars go by
    Yet in thy dark streets shineth
    The everlasting light
    The hopes and fears of all the years
    Are met in thee tonight

    For Christ is born of Mary
    And gathered all above
    While mortals sleep, the angels keep
    Their watch of wondering love

    O morning stars together
    Proclaim thy holy birth
    And praises sing to God the King
    And peace to men on earth

    O little town of Bethlehem
    How still we see thee lie
    Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
    The silent stars go by
    Yet in thy dark streets shineth
    The everlasting light
    The hopes and fears of all the years
    Are met in thee tonight

  • 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
    Shepherds quake at the sight
    Glories stream from heaven afar
    Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
    Christ the Savior is born
    Christ the Savior is born

    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

  • We wish you a merry Christmas
    We wish you a merry Christmas
    We wish you a merry Christmas
    And a happy new year

    Good tidings we bring
    To you and your kin
    Good tidings for Christmas
    And a happy new year
