Tell me the story of Jesus (Words by Fanny J. Crosby/Music by John R. Sweney)
The First Noel (Traditional English carol)
Angels we have heard on high (Traditional French carol)
Hark! The herald angels sing (Words by Charles Wesley/Music by Felix Mendelssohn)

(Übersetzung)

Tell me the story of Jesus,
Write on my heart ev'ry word.

The first Noel, the angels did say,
Was to certain poor sheperds in fields where they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains.

Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Come to Bethlehem,
And see Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord,
The newborn king.

Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Come to Bethlehem
And see Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord,
The newborn king.

Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"

Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th'angelic hosts proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"

Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King,
New born king."
