Angels We Have Heard On High French carol, ca. 1862 t, /..} <,...,_ (j /..,.;.., /' -..::f: ' "-... ~ ~~">,. \1 \~-.. -~.,.i '.\,! ), Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o'er the plains And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains. Gloria... Chorus: Gloria, In Excelsius Deo Gloria, In Excelsius Deo Shepherd why this jubilee, Why your joyous strains prolong What the gladsome tidings be, Which inspire your heavenly song? Come to Bethlehem and see, Him whose birth the angels sing Come adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord the newborn king. It Came Upon The Midnight Clear Edmund H. Sears(1810-1876), 1849 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, goodwill to men From heavens 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. O ye, beneath life's crushing load Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing. See him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise.

The First Noel English carol 17th century The first Noe6h ~gels did say Was to certain oor 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! 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. Here we are 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 On the highest bough, And have yourself A merry little Christmas now This star drew nigh to the northwest Over Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay. Noel Noel Noel Noel! Born is the King of Israel!

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 Thumpetty thump thump thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpetty thump thump thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow Frosty the snowman knew the suri 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 he only paused a moment when he heard him holler "Stop!" For Frosty the snow man had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye saying "Don't you cry I'll be back again some day " Thumpetty thump thump thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpetty thump thump thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow Christmas for Cowboys Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains. All of the good gifts given today; Ours is the sky and the wide open range. Back in the cities, they have diff'rent ways, Football and eggnog and Christmas parades. I'll take the blanket; I'll take the reins; Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains. A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night; The stars overhead are the Christmas-tree lights, The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray; Christmas for cowboys and the wide open range. It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains. So many gifts have been opened today; Ours is the sky and the wide open range, It's Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains.
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 bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother'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 Chrismas to you And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to njnety-two Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Chrismas to you Words and music by Mel Torme and A.Wells One Small Child One small child in a land of a thousand. One small dream of a savior tonight. One small hand reaching out to the starlight. One small savior of life. Ooh. One king bringing his gold and riches. One king ruling and army of might. One king kneeling with incense and candlelight. One king bringing us life. Ooh. (chorus) See Him lying, a cradle beneath Him. See Him smiling in the stall. See His mother praising the Father. See His tiny eyelids fall. See the shepherds kneeling before Him. See the kings on bended knee. See the mother praising the Father. See the blessed infant sleep. One small child in a land of a thousand. One small dream of a savior tonight. One small hand reaching out to the starlight. One small savior of life.

Bells on bob-tail ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight. chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, Oh 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, We ran into a drifted bank And there we got upsot. 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 at me as I there sprawling laid But quickly drove away. Now the ground is white, Go it while you're young, Take the girls along And sing this sleighing song. Just bet a bob-tailed bay, Two-forty as his speed, Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You'll take the lead. Go, Tell It on the Mountain Chorus: Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere. Go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born. While shepards kept their watching o'er silent flocks by night, behond, throughout the heavens There shone a holy light. *chorus* The shepards feared and trembled when lo, above the earth rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Saviour's birth! *chorus* Down in a lonely manger the humble Christ was born and God sent our salvation ' that blessed Christmas morn. *chorus*
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen God rest ye merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas day, To save us all from Satan's pow'r When we were gone astray; O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. But when to Bethlehem they came, Where at this infant lay They found him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay; His mother Mary kneeling, Unto the Lord did pray: O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. 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 others doth deface: O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. 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. 1 - t -

O Little Town of Bethlehem Phillips Brooks(1835-1893), 1868 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 Proclaim the holy birth. And praises sing to God the King. And peace to men on earth. Where children, pure and happy, Pray to the Blessed Child; Where misery cries out to thee, Son of the Mother mild; Where charity stands watching, And fa~holds wide the door, The dark ni,~t wakes, the glory breaks, and Christmas comes once more. O Come, All Ye Faithful Attributed to John Francis Wade(ca. 1711-1786) O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, 0 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, Glory 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 all glory given; Son 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.
O Holy Night Lyrics 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! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, the night when Christ was born; O night, 0 Holy Night, 0 night divine! O night, 0 Holy Night, 0 night divine! Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming, Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land. The King of kings lay thus lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friends. He knows our need, our weakness is 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 he shall break, for the slave is our brother. And in his name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, With all our hearts we praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, His power and glory ever more proclaim! His power and glory ever more proclaim! Away In a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for His 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: I._ \r. 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 cradle 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.
