Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful
Angels We Have Heard on High
Silent Night
Once in Royal David’s City
Away in a Manger
It Came upon the Midnight Clear
O Little Town of Bethlehem
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
With Wondering Awe
While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
Far, Far Away on Judea’s Plains
The First Noel
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
He Is Born, the Divine Christ Child
What Child Is This?
Still, Still, Still
Go Tell It on the Mountain
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
About these arrangements
- The words, melodies and hymnbook harmonies used here are in the public domain. The band parts are new arrangements.
- Away in a Manger, He Is Born, Still, Still, Still and Go Tell It on the Mountain have a new piano accompaniment, because the hymnbook accompaniments for them are under copyright.
- The English words of He Is Born and Still, Still, Still are under copyright, so their chord sheets have the chords without words. Go Tell It on the Mountain prints the traditional refrain words only. Read the remaining words from the hymnbook page.
- Three Christmas hymns are not included because they are under copyright: Star Bright, Little Baby in a Manger, and A Quiet Night.
- Chords for the 1985 hymns were worked out from the four-part harmony and simplified for guitar.
