Lonely Exile Here

God rest ye merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember Christ your Savior Was born on Christmas Day To save you all from Satan's pow'r When ye have gone astray O tidings of comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy From God our heavenly Father A blessed angel came And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by name O tidings of comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy Fear not then said the angel Let nothing you afright This day is born a Savior Of a pure virgin bright To free all those who trust in Him From Satan's power and might O tidings of comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy

Green grows the holly And so does the ivy Though the winter winds blow never so high Green grows the holly Gay are the flowers Hedgerows and the ploughhands The days grow long, long in the sun So fall the showers Full gold the harvest And grain for your labor With God must work for daily bread Or else man will starve Fast fall the shed leaves Russet and yellow But resting buds are smug and safe Where swung the dead leaves Green grows the holly And so does the ivy The God of life can never die And hope says the holly

O come, o come Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here until the son of God appear Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel O come Thou Day-Spring come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death's dark shadows put to flight Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel O come Thou Key of David come And open wide our heavenly home Make safe the way that leads on high And close the path to misery Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel O come O come Thou Lord of might Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height In ancient times did'st give the Law In cloud and majesty and awe Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel Shall come to thee O Israel

Lo how a rose e’er blooming From tender stem hath sprung Of Jesse’s lineage coming As men of old have sung It came a flow’ret bright Amid the cold of winter When half spent was the night Isaiah ‘twas foretold it The Rose I have in mind With Mary we behold it The virgin mother kind To show God’s love a right She bore to us a Savior When half spent was the night O Flower whose fragrance tender With sweetness fills the air Dispel with glorious splendor The darkness everywhere True man yet very God From Sin and death now save us And share our every load
