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,
Heavenly 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.
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 look-ed 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.
ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
Angels we have heard on high,
sweetly singing o’er the plain,
And the mountains in reply
echo back their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be,
which inspire your heavenly song.
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.
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.
Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation
O sing, all ye citizens of Heaven above,
Glory to God, glory in the highest
O come . . .
Adeste fideles laeti triumphantes
Venite, venite in Bethlehem
Natum videte, regem angelorum
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus
Dominum.
O HOLY NIGHT
O
holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees,
O hear the angel voices,
O night, divine,
O night when Christ was born,
O night, divine,
O night when Christ was born.
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 sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the poor Babe wakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes,
I love, Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle ‘til morning is nigh.
O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
O
little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie.
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight.
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 proclaimthe holy birth.
And praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men 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.
WHAT CHILD IS THIS
What
child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet 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.
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste to bring Him laud!
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
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 angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem,
Hark, the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.
Christ by highest heav’n adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord.
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of the Virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the God-head see;
Hail the incarnate Deity.
Pleased as man with men to dwell,
Jesus our Emanuel.
Hark, the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.
WE THREE KINGS
We
three kings of orient are,
bearing gifts we traverse afar;
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star.
O, star of wonder, star of night,
star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to Thy perfect light.
Born a Babe on Bethlehem’s plain,
gold I bring to crown Him again.
King forever, ceasing never,
over us all to reign.
O, star of wonder . . .
Frankincense to offer have I,
incense owns a deity nigh,
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
worship God on high.
O, star of wonder . . .
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
breathes a life of gathering doom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
O, star of wonder . . .
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 heav’n and heav’n and nature sing.
Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods,
rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy . . .
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love . . .
THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
On
the first day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me:
A partridge in a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me:
Two turtle doves . . . etc.
Three french hens . . .
Four calling birds . . .
Five golden rings . . .
Six geese a-laying . . .
Seven swans a-swimming . . .
Eight maids a-milking . . .
Nine ladies dancing . . .
Ten lords a-leaping . . .
‘Leven pipers piping . . .
Twelve drummers drumming . . .
GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN
God
rest ye merry gentlemen,
let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Saviour
was born on Christmas day.
To save us all from Satan’s power
when we were gone astray.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
In Bethlehem, in Jewry,
this blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manger
upon this blessed morn;
The which His Mother Mary
did nothing take in scorn,
O tidings of comfort and joy. . .
From God our Heav’nly Father
a blessed angel came,
And unto certain shepherds
brought tidings of the same,
How that in Bethlehem was born
the Son of God by name.
O tidings of comfort and joy . . .
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.
While shepherds kept their watching
o’er silent flocks at night,
Behold, throughout the heavens
there shone a holy light.
Go tell it on the mountain . . .
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.
DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR
Said
the night wind to the little lamb,
Do you see what I see,
way up in the sky, little lamb?
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night,
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite.
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear,
ringing through the sky, shepherd boy?
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song, high above the tree,
With a voice as big as the sea,
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
Do you know what I know,
in your palace warm, mighty king?
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child, shivers in the cold,
Let us bring Him silver and gold,
Let us bring Him silver and gold.
Said the king to the people everywhere,
Listen to what I say:
pray for peace, people, everywhere.
Listen to what I say.
A Child, a Child, sleeping in the night,
He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light.
GOOD CHRISTIAN MEN REJOICE
Good
Christian men, rejoice,
With heart and soul and voice,
Give ye heed to what we say:
News, news, Jesus Christ is born today.
Ox and ass before Him bow,
And He is in the manger now.
Christ is born today,
Christ is born today.
Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart and soul and voice,
Now ye hear of endless bliss:
Joy, joy, Jesus Christ was born for this.
He hath op’ed the heavenly door,
And man is bless-ed evermore.
Christ was born for this,
Christ was born for this.
Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart and soul and voice,
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Peace, peace, Jesus Christ was born to save.
Calls you one and calls you all,
To gain His everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save,
Christ was born to save.
I SAW THREE SHIPS
I
saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day.
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning.
And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day?
And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas day in the morning?
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas day, on Christmas day.
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas day in the morning.
And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day.
And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing,
On Christmas day in the morning.
Then let us all rejoice amain,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day.
Then let us all rejoice amain,
On Christmas day in the morning.
LITTLE DRUMMER BOY
Come, they told me,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Our newborn King to see,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we’ll bring,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
To lay before the King,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum.
So to honor Him,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
When we come.
Baby Jesu,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I am a poor boy, too,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I have no gift to bring,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
That’s fit to give a King,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum.
Shall I play for you,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
On my drum?
Mary nodded,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
The ox and lamb kept time,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I played my drum for Him,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I played my best for Him,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum.
Then He smiled at me,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
Me and my drum.
O COME O COME EMANUEL
O
come, O come, Emanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice, rejoice! O Israel!
To thee shall come Emanuel!
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people
save and give them victory o’er the grave.
Rejoice, rejoice! O Israel!
To thee shall come Emanuel!
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
our spirits by Thine advent here;
And drive away the shades of night,
and pierce the clouds and bring us light.
Rejoice, rejoice! O Israel!
To thee shall come Emanuel!
FELIZ NAVIDAD
Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad, Prospero año y felicidad.
Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad, Prospero año y felicidad.
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas,
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas,
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas,
From the bottom of my heart
WINTER WONDERLAND
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening;
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird;
Here to stay is a new bird.
He sings a love song as we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he is Parson Brown;
He’ll say are you married? We’ll say, No, man,
But you can do the job when you’re in town.
Later on, we’ll conspire, as we dream by the fire,
To face unafraid, the plans that we made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
We
wish you a Merry Christmas,
we wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
Glad tidings we bring, to you and your kin,
Glad tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
So bring us some figgy pudding,
so bring us some figgy pudding,
So bring us some figgy pudding,
and bring it right here.
We won’t go until we get some,
we won’t go until we get some,
We won’t go until we get some,
so bring it right now.
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
we wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
WHITE CHRISTMAS
I’m
dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know,
When the tree tops glisten, and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.
I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
I’ll
be home for Christmas,
You can count on me;
Please have snow, and mistletoe,
And presents by the tree.
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light beams;
I’ll be home for Christmas,
If only in my dreams.
HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY
LITTLE CHRISTMAS
Have
yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your hearts be light.
From now on our troubles will be out of sight.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yuletide gay,
From now on our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us,
Will be near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow,
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough,
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
SILVER BELLS
City
sidewalks, busy sidewalks,
dressed in holiday style,
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, people passing,
meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells,
it’s Christmastime in the city.
Ding-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Strings of street lights, even stop lights
blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch,
this is Santa’s big scene,
And above all this bustle you hear
Silver bells, silver bells,
it’s Christmastime in the city.
Ding-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.
JINGLE BELLS
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
Dashing through the snow
in a one-horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go,
laughing all the way.
Bells on bobbed tails ring,
making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
a sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way . . .
[Guys]
A day or two ago
I thought I’d take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank,
misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank,
and there we got upsot.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...
[Gals]
A day or two ago,
the story I must tell
I went out on the snow
and on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by,
in a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as I was sprawling laid,
but quickly drove away.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way . . .
LET IT SNOW
Oh,
the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we’ve no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn’t show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I hate going out in the storm;
But if you’ll really hold me tight,
All the way home I’ll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And my dear, we’re still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
SLEIGH RIDE
Just
hear those sleigh bells jingling,
ring-ting-tingling too.
Come on, it’s lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you.
Outside the snow is falling,
and friends are calling, Yoo-hoo!
Come on, it’s lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddyap, giddyap, giddyap, let’s go,
let’s look at the show,
We’re riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddyap, giddyap, giddyap it’s grand
just holding your hand,
We’re gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland.
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we,
We’re snuggled up together
like two birds of a feather would be.
Let’s take that road before us
and sing a chorus or two,
Come on it’s lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME FOR THE
HOLIDAYS
Oh,
there’s no place like home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam,
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly face,
For the holidays, you can’t beat Home, Sweet Home.
I met a man who lives in Tennessee,
And he was headin’ for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie.
From Pennsylvania folks are travelin’ down
to Dixie’s sunny shore,
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee, the traffic is terrific.
Oh there’s no place like home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam,
If you want to be happy in a million ways,
For the holidays, you can’t beat Home, Sweet Home.
DECK THE HALLS
Deck
the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la . . .
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la . . .
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la . . .
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la . . .
Strike the harp and join the chorus,
Fa la la . . .
Follow we in merry measure,
Fa la la . . .
While I tell of Yuletide treasure,
Fa la la . . .
RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER
You
know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
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-nose reindeer,
you’ll go down in history.
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
Frosty the Snowman was a jolly, happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the Snowman was a fairy tale they say,
He was made of snow, but the children know
How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic
in that old silk hat they found,
For when they put it on his head
he began to dance around.
Oh, Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be;
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me.
Thumpety thump, thump,
thumpety thump, thump,
Look at Frosty go;
Thumpety thump, thump,
thumpety thump, thump
Over the hills of snow. |
