God Rest You Merry Gentlemen God rest you merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ our Saviour 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.

From God our heav’nly 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.

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.

Sleigh Ride Just hear those sleigh bells jinglin’ Ring-tin-tingalin’ too.

Come on, it’s lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with you.

Outside the snow is fallin’ And friends are callin’ “Yo Hoo!” Come on, it’s lovely weather, For a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let’s go!

Let’s look at the show.

We’re riding in a wonderland of snow.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it’s grand.

Just holdin’ your hand, We’re driving along with a song, Of a wintry fairyland.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy, And comfy, cozy are we, We’re snuggled up together, Like two birds of a feather would be.

O Come, All Ye Faithful O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant; O come ye, Oh 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 heav’n above: Glory to God, in the highest.

O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Ye, Lord, we greet Thee, Born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee be glory giv’n; Word 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.

Let’s take that road before us, And sing a chorus or two, Come on it’s lovely weather, For a sleigh ride together with you!

A Holly Jolly Christmas

I Saw Three Ships

Have a holly jolly Christmas, it’s the best time of the year.

I don’t know if there’ll be snow but have a cup of cheer.

Have a holly jolly Christmas, and when you walk down the street Say hello to friends you know and everyone you meet.

Oh, ho, the mistletoe hung where you can see.

Somebody waits for you, kiss her once for me.

Have a holly jolly Christmas, and in case you didn’t hear Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year.

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.

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.

O they sailed into Bethlehem, On Christmas day, on Christmas day; O they sailed into Bethlehem, 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.

In Excelsis Gloria When Christ was born of Mary free, In Bethlehem in that fair city; Angels sung e’er with mirth and glee, In excelsis gloria.

Chorus: In excelsis gloria, In excelsis gloria, In excelsis gloria, In excelsis gloria.

Herdmen beheld these angels bright— To 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 Scriptures as we find; Therefore this song we have in mind: In excelsis gloria.

Chorus: Then, dear Lord, for Thy great grace, Grant us the bliss to see Thy face, Where we may sing to Thy solace: In excelsis gloria.

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 earth, good will to men, From heav’n’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 heav’nly music floats O’er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hov’ring wing, And ever o’er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing.

For lo! The days are hast’ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the every circling years Shall come the time foretold, When the new heav’n and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

Season’s Greetings!

Wishing Everyone a Very Merry Christmas!

Joy to the world! The Lord is come; Let earth receive her King, Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room, And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing.

Joy to the world! The Saviour 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.

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.

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 Yuletide 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 upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

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.

Ev’rybody 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’ry 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; Altho’ it’s been said many times, many ways, “Merry Christmas to you.”

We Three Kings of Orient Are 1.

We three kings of Orient are, Bearing gifts we traverse afar; Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star.

O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright; Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light.

2. Melchior: Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain, Gold I bring, to crown Him again; King forever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign.

O star of wonder, star of night,

Star with royal beauty bright; Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light.

3. Casper: Frankincense to offer have I, Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer and praising all men raising, Worship Him God most High.

O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright; Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light.

4. Balthazar: Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume, Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stonecold tomb.

O star of wonder, star of night,

Star with royal beauty bright; Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light.

This holiday season, may your home be filled with family, your family be filled with happiness, and your heart be filled with love.

Here Comes Santa Claus

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 they dark streets shineth The everlasting light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight.

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.

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,

O holy Child of Bethlehem!

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!

Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus Lane.

Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer are pulling on the rein.

Bells are ringing, children singing, all is merry and bright.

Hang your stockings and say your pray’rs, ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

(O Tannenbaum) O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How steadfast are your branches!

Your boughs, so green in summer time, Do brave the snow of wintertime.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, O tree of green, unchanging.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You set my heart a-singing.

Like little stars, your candles bright Send to the world a wondrous light.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You set my heart-a-singing.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You come from God, eternal.

A symbol of the Lord of Love Whom God to man sent from above.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You come from God, eternal.

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 bright sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

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 ‘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.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You speak of God unchanging.

You tell us all to faithful be, And trust in God eternally.

O Christmas tree.

Frosty the Snowman

Jingle Bell Rock

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.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring Snowin’ and blowin’ up bushels of fun Now the jingle bell hop’s begun.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time Dancin’ and prancin’ in Jingle Bell Square In the frosty air.

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.

What a bright time, it’s the right time To rock the night away.

Jingle bell time is a swell time To go riding in a one-horse sleigh.

Giddy-up, jingle horse, pick up your feet Jingle around the clock.

Mix’n mingle in jinglin’ beat That’s the Jingle Bell Rock!

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer You know Dasher, and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, Comet, Cupid, 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’d 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!

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Everywhere you go.

Take a look in the five and ten, Glistenin’ once again, With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Toys in every store.

But the prettiest sight to see, Is the holly that will be, On your own front door.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Everywhere 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.

But the thing that will make them ring, Is the carol that you sing, Right within your heart.

While Shepherds Hot Spinach Watched and Artichok e Dip Their Flocks 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 display’d All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid.”

Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith Appear’d a shining throng of Angels, praising God, who thus Address’d their joyful song: “All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good will henceforth, from heaven to men Begin, and never cease.”

As With Gladness 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.

Holy Jesus, every 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.

Share the joy of the holidays with loved ones far and near.

Winter Wonderland Sleigh-bells ring, are you list’nin’?

In the lane, snow is glist’nin’, A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland!

Gone away is the blue-bird, Here to stay is a new bird, 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 your 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, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland!

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.

Then entered in those Wisemen 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.

There is no Christmas Like a Home Christmas There is no Christmas like a home Christmas, With your Dad and Mother, Sis and Brother there.

With their hearts humming at your homecoming, And that merry Yuletide spirit in the air.

Christmas bells, Christmas bells, ringing loud and strong, Follow them, follow them, you’ve been away too long There is no Christmas like a home Christmas For that’s the time of year all roads lead home.

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.

“Sire, the night is darker now, And the winds blow stronger; Fails my heart, I know not how;

Merry Christmas to all!

I can go no longer.”

“Mark my footsteps my good page, Tread thou in them boldly: Thou shalt find the winter’s rage Freeze thy blood less coldly.”

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 yourselves find blessing.
