Joyful and triumphant,
O' come Ye, O' come Ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels!

Now in the 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

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior'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 soul 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, oh holy 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 came the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
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 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 praise His holy name
Christ is Lord, O praise His name forever
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!

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 wond'ring love.
O' morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth!

ROCK AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Rocking around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop.

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 lets 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 fashion way

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
play 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 all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town.

He's making a list and checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty and 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
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town.

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 Alleluia
Christ the savior is born, Christ the savior is born.

Silent night, holy night, wondrous star, lend thy light
With the angels let us sing Halleluia to our King
Christ the Savior is here, Jesus the Savior is here!

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.

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 Christmas time in the city
Ring-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 Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day.

SNOOPY'S CHRISTMAS

The news had come out in the First World War
The bloody Red Baron was flying once more
The Allied command ignored all of its men
And called on Snoopy to do it again.

Was the night before Christmas, 40 below
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe
He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought
With ice on his wings Snoopy knew he was caught.
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ring out from the land
Asking peace of all the world
And good will to man

The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight
Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know
Or was it the bells from the village below.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man

The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines
Snoopy was certain that this was the end
When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend"

The Baron then offered a holiday toast
And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host
And then with a roar they were both on their way
Each knowing they'd meet on some other day.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man.

WASSAIL SONG

Here we come a-wassailing,
Among the leaves so green
Here we come a wandering
So fair to be seen

Love and joy come to you
And to your wassail too
And God bless you and send you a happy new year
And God send you a happy new year.

We are not daily beggars
That go from door to door
But we are neighbours children
Whom you have seen before

Love and joy come to you
And to you your wassail too
And God bless you and send you a happy new year
And God send you a happy new year.

We have got a little purse
Of stretching leather skin
We want a little money
To line it well within

Love and joy come to you
And to you your wassail too
And God bless you and send you a happy new year
And God send you a happy new year.

God bless the master of this house
And bless the mistress too
And all the little children
That round the table go

Love and joy come to you
And to you your wassail too
And God bless you and send you a happy new year
And God send you a happy new year.

Good master and good mistress
While you're sitting by the fire
Pray think of us poor children
Who wander in the mire

Love and joy come to you
And to you your wassail too
And God bless you and send you a happy new year
And God send you a happy new year.

WE THREE KINGS

We three kings of orient are, bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star.

CHORUS:
Oh, star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

(Melchior) Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown him again
King for ever, ceasing never over us all to reign.

CHORUS

(Caspar) Frankincense to offer have I, incense owns a Deity nigh
Pray'r and praising, all men raising,
Worship him, God most high, oh

CHORUS

(Balthazar) Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, sealed in the stone cold tomb.

CHORUS

(all Glorious now behold him arise, king and God and sacrifice
Alleluia, alleluia, heaven to earth replies.

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!

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own Him,
The King of kings, salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

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 Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall me the sign
The heav'n'ly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands
And in a manger laid"

Those spoke the seraph and forth-with
Appeared a Shining throng
Of angels praising God who thus
Addressed their joyful song
"All glory be to God on high
And on the earth be peace
Goodwill hence-forth from heav'n to men
Begin and never cease".

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 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 Christmas' be white.

WINTER WONDERLAND

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane snow is glistening
Its a beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Gone away, is the bluebird
Here to stay, is the newbird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walkin' 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 while you're in town."

Later on , we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
