Lyrics: Christmas Medley [Acapella] By The Joshua’s 

(What Child is This)

What child is this (×3)
What child
What child is this
Who laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Raise, raise a song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary
What child is this (×5)
What child
(O Holy Night)

O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
Oh Oh Oh
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine, o night
O night divine
(O Little Town of Bethlehem)

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
(Angels We Have Heard on High)

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
(Silent Night)

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
