(refrain)
C F C Am
All things bright and beautiful,
G D G
all creatures great and small,
C F C Am
all things wise and wonderful,
C G C
the Lord God made them all.
(verse)
G D G
Each little flow'r that opens,
G D G
each little bird that sings,
Am D Em
he made their glowing colors,
G D G
he made their tiny wings.
The purple-headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

C F C
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
G C
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth
C F C
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Em B Em
Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
G C
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
G C
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn
Am Em Dm Am
Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices
C G C F
O night divine
C G C
O night when Christ was born
G C F C G C
O night, divine! O night, O night divine!

C G
I am weak, but Thou art strong;
C
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
F
I’ll be satisfied as long
C G C
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
Refrain
G
Just a closer walk with Thee,
C
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
F
Daily walking close to Thee,
C G C
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
Refrain
When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

C G
While shepherds watched
F C
Their flocks by night
C D G
All seated on the ground
F G E
The angel of the Lord came down
G F C
And glory shone around
"Fear not," he said,
For mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind."
"To you in David's
Town this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign."
"The heavenly Babe
You there shall find
To human view displayed
And meanly wrapped
In swathing bands
And in a manger laid."
Thus spake the seraph,
And forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song
"All glory be to
God on high
And to the earth be peace;
Goodwill henceforth
From heaven to men
Begin and never cease!"

C F
O little town of Bethlehem,
C G C
How still we see thee lie;
C F
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
C G C
The silent stars go by.
C E
Yet in the dark streets shineth
Am E
The everlasting light;
C F
The hopes and fears of all the years
C G C
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary;
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wond'ring love.
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth;
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silent, how silently
The wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heav'n.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord, Emmanuel.

C Am G C
O God, our help in ages past,
C Am G
Our hope for years to come,
C Am F E
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
F G C
And our eternal home!
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Still may we dwell secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
Time like an ever-flowing stream
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten as a dream
Dies at the break of day.
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night,
Before the rising sun.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guide while life shall last,
And our eternal home!
