Children's Bible Songs

CJoy to the World , the Lord Gis Ccome!
Let Fearth re-Gceive her CKing;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And GHeaven and nature sing,
And CHeaven, and Heaven, and na-Gture Csing.

Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

GAway in a manger, no Ccrib for a Gbed,
the Dlittle Lord Jesus laid Cdown his sweet Ghead.
The stars in the sky looked Cdown where he Glay,
the Dlittle Lord GJesus, a-Csleep on Dthe Ghay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes;
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
and stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
close by me forever, and love me, I pray;
bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
and fit us for heaven to live with thee there.

The

Dfirst No-Ael the Gangel did Dsay
was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
in Dfields where Athey lay Gkeeping their Dsheep,
on a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Refrain:

DNoel, ANoel, GNoel, DNoel,
Bmborn is the DKing of Isr-Aa-Del.

They looked up and saw a star
shining in the east, beyond them far;
and to the earth it gave great light,
and so it continued both day and night.
(Refrain)

GHark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory Cto the Dnew born GKing,
peace on earth, and mercy Amild,
DGod and sinners reconciled!”
GJoyful, all ye Cnations Drise,
Gjoin the triumph Cof the Dskies;
Cwith th’ angelic Amhost proclaim,
D“Christ is Gborn in Bethlehem!”
CHark! the herald Amangels sing,
D“Glory Gto the Dnew born GKing!”

Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
late in time behold him come,
offspring of a virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail th’ incarnate Deity,
pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new born King!”

GO little town of CBethlehem,
how Gstill we Dsee thee Glie;
above thy Edeep and Cdreamless sleep
the Gsilent Dstars go Gby.
Yet in thy dark streets Bmshineth
the Emeverlasting Bmlight;
the Ghopes and fears of Call the years
are Gmet in Dthee to-Gnight.

For Christ is born of Mary,
and gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars together,
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the king,
and peace to all on earth!

How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is given;
so God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him, still
the dear Christ enters in.

CSilent night, holy night
GAll is calm, Call is bright
F’round yon virgin, Cmother and child
FHoly infant, so Ctender and mild
GSleep in heavenly Cpeace
Sleep in Gheavenly Cpeace

Note: This song is meant to be sung in “rounds.”
The starting group (e.g. the girls) sings the first line, then the other group (e.g. the boys) sings the first line while the first group sings the second line, etc. So one group trails the other and the basic melody turns into a beautiful close harmony.

AmTrust in the GLord with Amall thine Eheart
And Amlean not Gunto thine Amown under-Estanding
In Amall thy Gways ac-Amknowledge EHim,
And AmHe shall di-Grect thy Ampaths,…E
And AmHe shall di-Grect thy Ampaths.
[Repeat]

Note: This song can be sung in “rounds”:
For example: boys would start off “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and…”
At that point the girls would start right in: “Trust in the Lord…”

Zac

Dchaeus Awas a Dwee little Aman, and a Dwee little Aman was Dhe.
He Dclimbed up Ain a Dsycamore Atree, for the DLord he Awanted to Dsee.
And Das the ASavior Dpassed him Aby, He Dlooked up Ain the Dtree,
And he said, “Zacchaeus, you come down from there;
For I’m Dgoing to your Ahouse to-Dday,A… for I’m Dgoing to your Ahouse Dtoday”

 

Zac

Dchaeus Acame down Dfrom that Atree, as Dhappy as Ahe could Dbe,
He Dgave his Amoney Dto the Apoor, and Dsaid: “What a better man I’ll be.”

He Dwants to Achange your Dsinful heart Atoo, this Dtruth you can-Anot de-Dny.

GSmoking, drinking, fist-fights, and dirty talk
DThey all make you Gwalk the dirty walk.
GSmoking, drinking, fist-fights, and dirty talk
DJesus says, G“No! No! Don’t do it!”

DTwelve men went to spy out Canaan,
(GTen were Dbad, Atwo were Dgood)

ESome saw grapes in Aclusters fall,
DSome saw God was Gin it Dall.
(GTen were Dbad, Atwo were Dgood)

The Gblessings will come down as your Dprayers go up,
So D7build your house on the GLord!
