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 Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Away In A Manger
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head
The stars in the night sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
Til 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 take us to heaven
To live with Thee there
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
Til morning is nigh
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-la-la la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la la-la-la la la la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol
Fa la la-la-la la la la la.
See the blazing Yule before us
Fa la la-la-la la la la la
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa la la-la-la la la la la.
Follow me in merry measure
Fa-la-la la-la-la la la la
While I tell of Yuletide treasure
Fa la la-la-la la la la la.
Fast away the old year passes
Fa la la-la-la la la la la
Hail the new ye lads and lasses
Fa la la-la-la la la la la.
Sing we joyous all together
Fa-la-la la-la-la la la la
Heedless of the wind and weather
Fa la la-la-la la la la la.
Mary’s Boy Child
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary’s boy-child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day.
Hark now! Hear the angels sing
A king was born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day.
While shepherds watch their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing a song,
The music seemed to come from afar.
Hark now! Hear the angels sing
A king was born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day.
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear the child
Not a single room was in sight.
Hark now! Hear the angels sing
A king was born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day.
By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary’s little boy was born.
Hark now! Hear the angels sing
A king was born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say,
That man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day.
Hark now! Hear the angels sing,
A king was born today,
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day.
Hark now! Hear the angels sing,
A king was born today,
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day.
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.
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both pause and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
Then entered in those wise men three
Fell reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney
When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
he began to shout,
“You girls and boys won’t get any toys,
if you don’t pull me out.
My beard is black, there’s soot in my sack,
my nose is tickling too.”
When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
a-choo, a-choo, a-choo!
‘Twas on the eve before Christmas Day,
when Santa Claus arrived on his sleigh,
Into a chimney he climbed with his sack,
but he was so fat he couldn’t get back,
Oh, what a terrible plight,
he stayed up there all night.
When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
he began to yell,
“Oh hurry please it’s oh such a squeeze,
the reindeer’s stuck as well.
His head’s up there, in the cold night air,
now Rudolph’s nose is blue.”
When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
a-choo, a-choo, a-choo!
Rudolph tugged with all of his might,
but Santa Claus was stuck very tight,
He wiggled and jiggled then cried with a frown,
I’ll never get up, I’ll never get down.
Oh, what a terrible fuss,
we should have come by bus.
When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
he began to shout,
“You girls and boys won’t get any toys,
if you don’t pull me out.
My beard is black, there’s soot in my sack,
my nose is tickling too.”
When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
a-choo, a-choo, a-choo, a-choo,
A-choo, a-choo, a-choo!
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-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"

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.
Joy to the earth, the Saviour 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.
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 and wonders of His love.
O Come All Ye Faithful
O Come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
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
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God in the highest
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
Yea Lord we greet thee, born this happy morning
Jesus to Thee be glory given
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
