People: You have multiplied the nation and increased its joy; they rejoice before you with joy of harvest, as the dividing of spoil.
Leader: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
People: Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end. He shall sit on David’s throne, and over his kingdom he will reign in righteousness from this time forth and forevermore.

Christmas Eve Songbook
O Come, All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem! Come, and behold Him, Born the King of angels! O come, let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord!
What Child Is This
What child is this, who, laid to rest on Mary’s lap is sleeping? Whom angels great with anthems sweet while shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste to bring Him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary!
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear It came upon a midnight clear, that glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold: “Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heaven’s all-gracious King.” The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing.
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
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 the angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!” Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
Joy to the World!
Joy to the world! the Lord is come: Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and heaven and nature sing
