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 in 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 cradle 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.
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 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

IN EXCELSIS GLoRIa when Christ was born of mary free, In Bethlehem in that fair city, angels sung e’er with mirth and glee, Chorus In excelsis gloria, In excelsis gloria, In excelsis gloria, In excelsis gloria. Herdsmen beheld these angels brightTo them appeared with great light,
and said, “God’s son is born this night.” Chorus This King is come to save His kind, In the Scripture as we find; Therefore this song we have in mind: Chorus Then, dear Lord, for Thy great grace, Grant us the bliss to see Thy face, where we may sing to Thy solace: Chorus
In the spirit of the holiday season, we’d like to share our best wishes for a very Merry Christmas. May you and yours enjoy a festive season of peace, joy and goodwill.

IT’S BEGINNING To LooK a LoT LIKE CHRISTmaS It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again with candy canes and silver lanes aglow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Toys in ev’ry store But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be on your own front door. a pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Janice and Jen; and mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas; Soon the bells will start, and the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing Right within your heart

I Saw THREE SHIPS ComE SaILING IN 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 all the bells on earth shall ring, on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; and all the bells on earth shall ring, 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?
and all the angels in Heaven shall sing, on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; and all the angels in Heaven shall sing, 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.
and all the souls on earth shall sing, on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; and all the souls on earth shall sing, on Christmas Day in the morning.
Pray, wither sailed those ships all three, on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; Pray, wither sailed those ships all three, on Christmas Day in the morning?
Then let us all rejoice again, on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; Then let us all rejoice again, on Christmas Day in the morning.
o they sailed into Bethlehem, on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; o they sailed into Bethlehem, on Christmas Day in the morning.

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 world, the Savior 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.
No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow far as the curse is found, far as the curse is found, far as, far as, the curse is found. 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, wonders, of His love.

RUDoLPH THE RED NoSE REINDEER You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and vixen, Comet and Cupid and Doner 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.

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 wondering love o morning stars together Proclaim the holy birth and praises sing to God the King and Peace to men on earth 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

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. Lo, within a manger lies he who built the starry skies, he who throned in height sublime sits amid the cherubim. Say, ye holy shepherds, say what your joyful news today; wherefore have ye left your sheep on the lonely mountain steep? ‘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’. Sacred infant, all divine, what a mighty love was thine, thus to come from highest bliss down to such a world as this! Hail, thou ever blessed morn; hail, redemption’s happy dawn; sing through all Jerusalem

SILvER BELLS
Children laughing People passing meeting smile after smile and on every street corner you’ll hear
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’ll hear
Silver bells, silver bells It’s Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day
Silver bells, silver bells It’s Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air There’s a feeling of Christmas
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 “

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 o’er the place where Jesus lay. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel! Then entered in those wise men three full 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!
