“Each year South Australians gather by the thousands in Elder Park to take part in one of our greatest community traditions: the annual Carols by Candlelight.

It’s a beloved celebration of the festive season that brings families and friends old and new together to sing along to classic Christmas favourites in the company of some of Australia’s most well-known entertainers, and thrill at the spectacular annual fireworks display.

Yet Carols by Candlelight is more than just a wonderful community event: it is also a major fundraiser for St John Ambulance SA. The money raised helps continue its crucial work in delivering health and medical services at events, first aid training, and social inclusion programs.

The South Australian government is a proud and ongoing supporter of Carols by Candlelight, and I look forward to sharing in this year’s celebration of spirit and song.”

Christmas is a truly special time in the City of Adelaide, and we are delighted to once again support the St John Carols by Candlelight.

Generations of South Australians have gathered in Elder Park to celebrate the season together. This event also supports the vital work of St John Ambulance, whose volunteers and programs make a difference to tens of thousands of people each year through first aid, community care and social inclusion. I encourage everyone to give generously.

Throughout December, Adelaide is glowing with festive cheer. From Christmas markets to concerts and family celebrations across the city and North Adelaide, there are countless ways to share the spirit of the season. To discover what’s on, visit cityofadelaide.com.au/christmas.

Christmas reminds us of the importance of kindness, connection and giving back. On behalf of my family and the City of Adelaide, I wish you peace, joy and a very Merry Christmas.

The Right Honourable The Lord Mayor of Adelaide Dr Jane Lomax-Smith

St John Ambulance

We are delighted to once again share the magic of Christmas with the South Australian community, as the custodians of Carols by Candlelight.

This year holds special significance as we celebrate 140 years of St John Ambulance in South Australia. For generations, our dedicated volunteers have been there in moments that matter –delivering health and medical services at community events just like Carols, teaching lifesaving skills, and providing care and connection to those in need.

Thank you for joining us for this special Christmas tradition and for supporting St John. I wish you and your loved ones a joyful festive season and a safe, healthy, and happy New Year.

Carols History

Christmas Eve 1944

The very first Carols in Adelaide took place at Elder Park on Christmas Eve in 1944, when thousands of South Australians gathered by candlelight to sing together under the stars. Organised by The Commercial Travellers’ Association of South Australia and radio station 5AD (now Mix 102.3), the event drew an incredible crowd of around 50,000 people – almost ten percent of the state’s population – their voices rising from the lawns of Elder Park to create a truly magical sight and sound.

2025 Celebrating 81 years

For generations of South Australians, Carols by Candlelight has been part of what makes Christmas feel like Christmas. Though it has grown into a national television broadcast on the Seven Network, Carols remains at heart a local tradition – one that brings families and friends together to celebrate the spirit of Christmas. Over the years, it has been cared for by several South Australian charities, and since 2022, St John Ambulance SA has proudly carried on the legacy of this iconic event.

THE FIRST NOEL

The first Noel the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel, Noel

Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

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

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

And by the light of that same star, Three wise men came from country far, To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went

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

Born is the King of Israel

AWAY IN A MANGER

Away in a manger

No crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus

Laid down his sweet head

The stars in the bright sky

Looked down where he lay

The little Lord Jesus

Asleep in the hay

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 side

Until 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

Away in a manger

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 it's worth

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees. Oh hear the Angel voices

O night divine, O night when Christ was born

O night divine, O night when Christ was born

Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is love and His gospel is peace

Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother; And in His name all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise His holy name.

Christ is the Lord! His Name forever praise we, Noel, Noel, O night, O night divine Noel, Noel, O night, O night divine

Noel, Noel, O night, O holy night

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen

You know Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen

But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names

They never let poor Rudolph, join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say “Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then how the reindeer loved him, as they shouted out with glee

“Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history”

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say “Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then how the reindeer loved him, as they shouted out with glee

“Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history”

You go, Rudolph!

My sister will be suspicious

Gosh, your lips look delicious

My brother will be there at the door

Oh he loves my music baby I’m sure

My gossipy neighbour’s vicious

I’m a genie, tell me what your wish is

Well, maybe just another dance more

That’s something we should probably explore

I’ve got to get home

Say, lend me a coat

Oh, keep it girl, I don’t care

You’ve really been grand I feel when you touch my hand

But don’t you see I want you to stay, it’s not up to me

There’s bound to be talk tomorrow

Well, they can talk, but what do they know

At least there’ll be plenty implied

Oh, let them mind their business and go

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ is born

The shepherds kept their watching

Over silent flocks by night

Behold throughout the heavens (ooh)

There shone a holy light

While shepherd fears and trembled

When lo, above the earth

Rang out the angel chorus that

Hailed our Saviour’s birth

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ is born

Down in a lowly manger

Our humble Christ was born

And brought us our salvation

That blessed Christmas morn

Go tell it go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain

that Jesus Christ is born

Who you gonna tell? Gonna tell somebody

Who you gonna tell? Gonna tell somebody

Who you gonna tell? Gonna tell somebody

Who you gonna tell? Gonna tell somebody

Oh yeah gonna tell somebody

I gotta tell of His goodness. Gonna tell somebody

Gotta tell of His kindness. Gonna tell somebody

Oh yeah. Gonna tell somebody

I gotta tell somebody! Peace is here.

I gotta tell somebody! Joy is here

I gotta tell somebody! Freedom is here

Hey Hey! I gotta tell somebody!. I gotta tell

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born

That Jesus Christ is born

That Jesus Christ is born

That Jesus Christ is born

JOY/JOYFUL JOYFUL

Joy joy God’s great joy

Joy joy down in my soul

Sweet beautiful soul saving joy!

Oh, joy joy in my soul

Listen to the music the sound of the angels! Come and meet the Child who can make you whole; lying in a manger away from harm and danger

Oh, joy joy in my soul

He’s sent from up above, this special gift of love more precious than silver or gold. He was sent this holiday to take our pain a-way.

Oh, joy joy in my soul. Oh, joy joy in my soul.

Joyful joyful Lord we adore Thee God of glory, Lord of love

Hearts un-fold like flowers before Thee

Hail Thee as the sun above

Melt the clouds of sin, sin and sad-ness drive the dark of doubt away, drive it away

Giver of immortal gladness,

Fill us. Fill us with your light oh Lord

Fill us. Don’t you know we need You now?

Fill us. Fill us fill us with Your light

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

Silent night, holy night

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from Heaven afar

Heav’nly hosts sing alleluia

Christ the Saviour is born

Christ the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night

Son of God, love’s pure light

Radiant beams from thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus, Lord at thy birth

Jesus, Lord at thy birth

Deck the Hall

Deck the hall with boughs of holly

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la ’tis the season to be jolly

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Don we now our gay apparel

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

Troll the ancient Christmas carol

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Ding Dong Merrily On High

Ding dong merrily on high, In heav’n the bells are ringing: Ding dong! verily the sky

Is riv’n with angel singing.

Gloria...

Hosanna in excelsis!

Gloria...

Hosanna in excelsis!

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, Jingle bell rock

Jingle bell swing and jingle bells ring

Snowin’ and blowin’up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancin’ and prancin’ in jingle bell square

In the frosty air

What a bright time, it’s the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and mingle in a jingling beat

That’s the jingle bell, That’s the jingle bell,

That’s the jingle bell rock

You better not cry

Better not pout

So be good for goodness sake

You better not cry

Better not pout

I’m telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town
