Text
Children:
All the way to Bethlehem,
Come and see the infant Holy.
All the way to Bethlehem,
Princes high and paupers lowly.
Shepherds and wise men,
queens with silvery crowns,
tinkers and tailors,
governors and circus clowns.
Ride the camel, ride the tram,
All the way to Bethlehem.
Come as quickly as you can,
All the way to Bethlehem.
Congregation: O Come, All Ye Faithful
1. Come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!
Come and behold him, born the King of angels.
Refrain:
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ, the Lord!
2. Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
sing, all ye citizens of Heaven above:
“Glory to God, all glory in the highest!”
Children:
All the way to Bethlehem.
Come, you are no longer strangers,
All the way to Bethlehem.
See him lying in a manger.
Seekers and searchers
come from all around.
Soldiers and warriors
come lay your weapons down.
Join the mighty caravan,
All the way to Bethlehem.
Come as quickly as you can,
All the way to Bethlehem.
Congregation: Away In a Manger
1. Away in a manger no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay.
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
2. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes.
The little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
and stay by my side until morning is nigh.
Children:
All the way to Bethlehem.
Come and hear the angels’ song.
All the way to Bethlehem.
Leave your sheep and come along.
Congregation: The First Noel
1. The first Noel, the angels did say
was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
in fields where they lay keeping their sheep
on a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Refrain:
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
2. They looked up and saw a star
shining in the east, beyond them far,
and to the earth it gave great light
and so it continued both day and night.
Children:
All the way to Bethlehem.
Come as quickly as you can.
Clap your hands, stomp your feet.
Beat on the drums, dance in the street.
All the way to Bethlehem.
