1 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 Al-le-lu-ia!
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
2 Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Hark! the herald angels sing

Joyful, all ye nations, rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With th’angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new-born King!

Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

4 Once In Royal David’s City
Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.
He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall;
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above,
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him; but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high;
When like stars His children crowned
All in white shall wait around.
5 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
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to men on earth
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
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
O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel
6 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 bright sky look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on 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
7 White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops 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
8 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!
E'en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And "io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen
Gloria Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria Hosanna in excelsis!
Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers,
May you beautifully rhyme
Your eve'time song, ye singers
Gloria Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria Hosanna in excelsis!
9 Deck The Halls
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la, fa la la la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la, fa la la la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa la la, Fa la la, la la la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol
Fa la la la la, fa la la la
See the flowing bowl before us
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Follow me in merry measure
While I sing of beauty’s treasure
Fast away the old year passes,
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses!
Laughing, quaffing all together,
Heedless of the wind and weather,
10 The First Nowell
The first Nowell the angel 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.
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
They lookèd 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.
Nowell, nowell, etc
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.
Nowell, nowell, etc
This star drew nigh to the north-west:
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Nowell, nowell, etc
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
Who hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with his blood mankind
Nowell, nowell, etc
11 God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay!
For Jesus Christ our saviour
Was born on Christmas Day,
To save us all from Satan's power
When we had gone astray:
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy! .
From God our heavenly 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 ...
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All people in this place!
With Christian love and fellowship
Each other now embrace,
And let this Christmas festival
All bitterness displace:
O tidings ...
12 While Shepherds Watched
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around.
'Fear not,' said he - for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind -
'Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind:
'To you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be the sign:
'The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands
And in a manger laid.'
Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:
'All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Goodwill henceforth from highest heaven
Begin and never cease!'
13 Angels From The Realms Of Glory
Angels from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o’er all the earth;
Ye who sang creation's story
Now proclaim Messiah's birth!
Come and worship
Christ, the new-born king;
Come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born king.
Shepherds in the fields abiding,
Watching o’er your flocks at night,
God with us is now residing:
Yonder shines the infant light!
Come and worship
Christ, the new-born king;
Come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born king.
Though an infant now we view him,
he will share his Father's throne,
gather all the nations to him;
every knee shall then bow down:
Come and worship
Christ, the new-born king;
come and worship,
worship Christ the new-born king
14 O Holy Night
Oh 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
'Til 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, oh, hear the Angels' voices
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here come the wise men from the Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, to weaknesses no stranger,
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, Before Him lowly bend!
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! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
15 Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list, checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
16 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
17 Let It Snow
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
And 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 stoppin'
And I brought some corn for poppin'
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
Oh, the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, and snow
18 Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin’?
In the lane, snow is glistenin’
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
Then 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
19 12 Days Of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
A Partridge in a Pear Tree
On the second day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Two Turtle Doves
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree
Three French Hens
Four Calling (Colly) Birds
Five Gold Rings
Six Geese a Laying
Seven Swans a Swimming
Eight Maids a Milking
Nine Ladies Dancing
Ten Lords a Leaping
Eleven Pipers Piping
Twelve Drummers Drumming
20 Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
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
He ran into a drifted bank and we, we got UPSOT!
21 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
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap let's go, let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap it's grand, just holding your hand
We're riding along with a song of a wintery fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
22 Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some carolling
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
23 The Christmas Song
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And ev'rymother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times,
Many ways: "Merry Christmas to you"
24 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 is 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 placed 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
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away."
Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there all around the square
Saying "catch me if you can!"
He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop
And only paused a moment when He heard him holler "Stop!"
Oh, Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye, saying "Don't you cry, I'll be back again someday."
25 Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on our troubles will be miles away.
Once again as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather 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.
26 We Wish You a Merry Christmas
