6 As With Gladness Men Of Old As with gladness men of old, Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright, So, most gracious Lord, may we, Evermore be led to Thee. As with joyful steps they sped, To that lowly manger bed, There to bend the knee before, Him whom heav n and earth adore, So may we with willing feet, Ever seek Thy mercy seat. As they offered gifts most rare, At that manger rude and bare, So may we, with holy joy, Pure and free from sin s alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heav nly King. 4. Holy Jesus, ev ry day, Keep us in the narrow way; And when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last, Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5. In the heav nly country bright, Need they no created light; Thou its light, its joy, its crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down; There forever may we sing. Alleluias to our King. 6. As with gladness men of old, Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright, So, most gracious Lord, may we, Evermore be led to Thee. Page 6

7 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 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 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. Page 7

9 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 angels singing. 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!

10 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 Israel, 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, 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 of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy. 4. Fear not then, said the Angel, Let nothing you affright, This day is born a Saviour, Of a pure Virgin bright, To free all those who trust in Him, From Satan s power and might. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy. 5. The shepherds at those tidings, Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a-feeding, In tempest, storm and wind: And went to Bethlehem straightway, The Son of God to find. Page 10

11 O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy 6. And when they came to Bethlehem, Where our dear Saviour lay, They found Him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay; His Mother Mary kneeling down, Unto the Lord did pray. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy. 7. Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood, Each other now embrace; This holy tide of Christmas, All other doth deface. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy. Page 11

12 Good Christian Men, Rejoice Good Christian men, rejoice, With heart and soul and voice! Give ye heed to what we say, 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, Jesus Christ was born for this He hath ope d the heav nly door, And man is blessed 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, 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 Page 12

13 Good King Wenceslas Good King Wenceslas looked out, On the feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, Deep and crisp and even, Brightly shone the moon that night, Though the frost was cruel, When a poor man came in sight, Gathering winter fuel. Hither, page and stand by me, If thou know st it, telling, Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling, Sire, he lives a good league hence, Underneath the mountain, Right against the forest fence, By St.Agnes fountain. Bring me flesh and bring me wine! Bring me pine logs hither! Thou and I will see him dine, When we bear them thither. Page and monarch forth they went, Forth they went together, Through the Rude wind s wild lament, And the bitter weather. 4. Sire, the night is darker now, Page 13

14 And the wind grows stronger, Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer. Mark my footsteps good my page, Tread thou in them boldly. Thou shal t find the winter s rage, Freeze thy blood less coldly. 5. In his master s steps he trod, Where the snow lay dinted, Heat was in the very sod Which the Saint had printed, Therefore, Christian men, be sure, Wealth or rank possessing, Ye who now will bless the poor Shall yourself find blessing. Page 14

15 Hark the Herald Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the new born King! Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled! 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. Christ by highest heav n adored, Christ the everlasting Lord: Late in time behold him come, Offspring of a virgin s womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail the incarnate Deity! Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel! Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the new born king. Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings. Mild, he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the new born king. Page 15

16 In The Bleak Midwinter In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, long ago. Our God, heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain; Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign. In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. Enough for Him, Whom cherubim, worship night and day, Breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay; Enough for Him, Whom angels fall before, The ox and ass and camel which adore. 4. Angels and archangels may have gathered there, Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air; But his mother only, in her maiden bliss, Worshipped the beloved with a kiss. 5. What can I give Him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part; Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart. Give my heart. Page 16

17 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. 4. Then let us all rejoice again, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day. Then let us all rejoice again, On Christmas Day in the morning. 5. 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. On Christmas Day in the morning. Page 17

18 It Came Upon A Midnight Clear It came upon the 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. Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled And still their heavenly music floats, o er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains, they bend on hovering wing. And ever o er its Babel sounds, the blessed angels sing. Yet with the woes of sin and strife, the world hath suffered long; Beneath the angel-strain have rolled, two thousand years of wrong; And man, at war with man, hears not, the love song which they bring: O hush the noise, ye men of strife, and hear the angels sing. 4. For lo! The days are hastening on, by prophet bards foretold, When, with the ever-circling years, shall come the Age of Gold; When peace shall over all the earth, its ancient splendors fling, And all the world give back the song, which now the angels sing. Which now the angels sing. Page 18

19 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! Chorus: O come let us adore him! O come, let us adore him! O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord! God of God, Light of light, Lo! he abhors not the virgin s womb. Very god, Begotten, not created. Chorus: 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. Chorus: O come let us adore him! O come, let us adore him! O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord! Page 19

20 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. 4. O holy Child of Bethlehem Page 20

21 Descend to us we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell: O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel. Page 21

22 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 the Mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. He came down from earth to 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. For he is our childhood s pattern, Day by day, like us he grew, He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us he knew: And he feeleth for our sadness, And he shareth in our gladness. 4. Not in that poor lonely 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. Page 22

23 See Amid The Winter s Snow See amid the winter s snow, Born for us on earth below, See the tender Lamb appears, Promised from eternal years. Hail, thou ever-blessed morn! Hail, redemption s happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem. Lo, within a manger lies, He who built the starry skies; He who throned in height sublime, Sits amid the cherubim. Hail, thou ever-blessed morn! Hail, redemption s happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem. Say, ye holy shepherds say, What your joyful news today; Wherefore have ye left your sheep, On the lonely mountain steep? Hail, thou ever-blessed morn! Hail, redemption s happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem. 4. As we watched at dead of night, Lo, we saw a wondrous light; Angels singing peace on earth, Told us of the Saviour s birth. Hail, thou ever-blessed morn! Hail, redemption s happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem. 5. Teach, O teach us, Holy Child, By Thy Face so meek and mild, Teach us to resemble Thee, In Thy Sweet humility! Hail, thou ever-blessed morn! Hail, redemption s happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem. Page 23

24 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 Alleluya Christ the Saviour is born! Christ the Saviour is born! Silent night-holy night. God s own son, loves pure light Radiant beams from thy holy face. With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus, Lord at thy birth, Jesus, Lord at thy birth! Page 24

25 The First Nowell 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! 4. This star drew nigh to the northwest O er Bethlehem it took its rest And there it did both pause and stay Right o er the place where Jesus lay. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel. Born is the King of Israel! 5. Then entered in those Wise men three Full reverently upon their knee And offered there in his presence Page 25

26 Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel. Born is the King of Israel! 6. 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! Page 26

27 The Holly And The Ivy The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown. O the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a blossom, As white as lily flower; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To be our sweet Saviour. O the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a berry, As red as any blood; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To do poor sinners good. O the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. 4. The holly bears a prickle, As sharp as any thorn; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, On Christmas day in the morn. O the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. 5. The holly bears a bark, As bitter as any gall; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, For to redeem us all. O the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. Page 27

28 Unto Us A Boy Is Born Unto us a boy is born, King of all creation: Cradled in a stall was he, The Lord of every nation, The Lord of every nation. Cradled in a stall was he With sleepy cows and asses; But the very beasts could see That he all men surpasses. That he all men surpasses. Herod then with fear was filled: A prince, he said, In Jewry! All the little boys be killed At Bethl em in his fury. At Bethl em in his fury. 4. Now may Mary s Son, who came So long ago to love us, Lead us all with hearts aflame Unto the joys above us. Unto the joys above us. 5. Omega and Alpha He! Let the organ thunder, While the choir with peals of glee Doth rend the air asunder. Doth rend the air asunder. Page 28

29 We Three Kings We three kings of Orient are, Bearing gifts we traverse afar, Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder Star. Chorus: O, star of wonder, star of might, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. Born a babe on Bethlehem s plain; Gold we bring to crown Him again; King forever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign. Chorus Frankincense to offer have I; Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer and praising, all men raising, Worship Him, God on High. Chorus 4. Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Seal d in the stone-cold tomb. Chorus Westward leading, still proceeding, Following yonder Star. Page 29

30 While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks While Shepherds watch 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 man-kind To you in David s town this day Is born of David s line The Saviour who is Christ the Lord And this shall be the sign 4. The heav n ly babe you there shall find To human view displayed All meanly wrapped in swathing bands And in a manger laid 5. Thus spoke the seraph and forth-with Appeared a shining throng Of angels praising God who thus Addressed their joyful song 6. All glory be to God on high And on the earth be peace Goodwill henceforth from heav n to men Begin and never cease Page 30

35 Frosty The Snowman Frosty the snowman, was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob 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. 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, Turning here and there all around the square, sayin Catch me if you can He led them down the streets of town Right to the traffic cop. And he only paused a moment When he heard him holler stop! For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye sayin don t you cry, I ll be back again some day. Page 35

42 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. 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. Chorus: Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today, And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day. Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night, They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight. 4. And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn, And in a manger cold and dark, Mary s little boy was born. Chorus: Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today, And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day. Mary s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day. Page 42

Rocking around the Christmas tree, Let the Christmas spirit ring. Later we ll have some pumpkin pie, And we ll do some caroling. You will get a sentimental Feeling when you hear. Voices singing Let s be jolly, Deck the halls with boughs of holly. Rocking around the Christmas tree, Have a happy holiday. Everyone dancing merrily, In the new old-fashioned way. 8 BAR INSRUMENTAL BREAK You will get a sentimental Feeling when you hear. Voices singing let s be jolly, Deck the halls with boughs of holly.

46 Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, Had a very shiny nose, And if you ever saw it, You would even say it glows.

53 Walking In The Air We re walking in the air We re floating in the moonlit sky The people far below are sleeping as we fly I m holding very tight I m riding in the midnight blue I m finding I can fly so high above with you Instrumental Far across the world The villages go by like dreams The rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams Children gaze open mouthed Taken by surprise Nobody down below believes their eyes 4. We re surfing in the air We re swimming in the frozen sky We re drifting over icy mountains floating by Instrumental Suddenly swooping low On an ocean deep Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep 5. And walking in the air We re dancing in the midnight sky And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly (LAST TIME) Page 53

When Santa got stuck up the chimney, A-choo! A-choo! A-choo! T was 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 oh it s 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! Page 55

56 White Christmas I m dreaming of a white Christmas, Just like the ones I used to know, Where the tree tops glisten, and children listen, To hear the 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. And may all your Christmases be white Page 56
