The First Noel

The first Noel, the angel 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 night to the northwest, O’er 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.

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.

Vive Le Vent Vive le vent, vive le vent, Vive le vent d'hiver, Qui s'en va sifflant, soufflant Dans les grands sapins verts.

Vive le temps, vive le temps, Vive le temps d'hiver, Boules de neige et Jour de l'An Et Bonne Année grand-mère !

Sur le long chemin Tout blanc de neige blanche Un vieux monsieur s'avance Avec sa canne dans la main.

Et tout là-haut le vent Qui siffle dans les branches Lui souffle la romance Qu'il chantait petit enfant, oh !

Refrain

O Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Thy leaves are so unchanging;

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Thy candles shine so brightly!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Thy leaves are so unchanging;

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Thy candles shine so brightly!

Not only green when summer’s here, But also when ‘tis cold and drear.

From base to summit, gay and bright, There’s only splendor for the sight.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Thy leaves are so unchanging!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Thy candles shine so brightly!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Much pleasure thou can’st give me;

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

How richly God has decked thee!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Much pleasure thou can’st give me;

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

How richly God has decked thee!

Thou bidst us true and faithful be, And trust in God unchangingly.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

How richly God has decked thee!

How often has the Christmas tree Afforded me the greatest glee!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Much pleasure thou can’st give me.

Joyeux, joyeux Noël Aux mille bougies Qu'enchantent vers le ciel Les cloches de la nuit.

Vive le vent, vive le vent Vive le vent d'hiver Qui rapporte aux vieux enfants Leurs souvenirs d'hier, oh !

Refrain Et le vieux monsieur Descend vers le village, C'est l'heure où tout est sage Et l'ombre danse au coin du feu.

Mais dans chaque maison Il flotte un air de fête Partout la table est prête Et l'on entend la même chanson, oh !

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.

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 wondering love.

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!

O morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth, and praises sing to God the king, and peace to all on earth!

Let it Snow

Oh the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we’ve no place to go, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight, How I’ll hate going out in the storm!

But if you’ll really hold me tight, All the way home I’ll be warm.

It doesn’t show signs of stopping, And I’ve bought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we’re still good-bying, But as long as you love me so, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bob tails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight CHORUS Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh

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 got into a drifted bank And then we got upsot CHORUS

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?

CHORUS: This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary.

Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading.
