Jingle Bells
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh.
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 ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight, oh!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
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 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 how 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
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming He's not very far away Time to hang your stockings up Tomorrow's Christmas Day
Put a piece of pie or cake
On a pretty Christmas plate Remember Ruldolph's carrot Oh, we can hardly wait!
Christmas tree is twinkling
Christmas pudding stirred
Presents are all wrapped and stacked 'Cause everybodys heard
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
He's not very far away Time to hang your stockings up Tomorrow's Christmas Day
We love singing carols
And lighting candles too But my favourite part of Christmas Eve Is cuddling up to you
Christmas tree is twinkling

Christmas pudding stirred
Presents are all wrapped and stacked 'Cause everybodys heard
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming He's not very far away Time to hang your stockings up Tomorrow's Christmas Day






Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Let your heart be light From now on, Your troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yule-tide gay, From now on, Your 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.
So have yourself a merry little Christmas, Have yourself a merry little Christmas, So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.


O Holy Night
Oh, holy night! The stars are brightly shining It is the night of the 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 world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night when Christ was born
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 us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord! Oh, praise His Name forever His power and glory evermore proclaim
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices

Oh, night divine
Oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Christ is the Lord! Oh, praise His Name forever His power and glory evermore proclaim
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born

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 on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes
I love You, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky And stay by my bedside Until morning is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus I ask You to stay Close by me forever And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with You there

Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Hark! the herald angels sing: "Glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth and mercy mild God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic hosts proclaim: "Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! the herald angels sing: "Glory to the newborn King!"
Christ by highest Heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord! Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of the Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! the herald angels sing: "Glory to the newborn King!"
Hail the Heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by Born that man no more may die Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! the herald angels sing: "Glory to the newborn King!"

Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant, tender and mild

Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord at thy birth

The Holy City
Last night I lay asleeping
There came a dream so fair
I stood in old Jerusalem beside the temple there
I heard the children singing and ever as they sang
Me thought the voice of angels from heaven in answer rang
Me thought the voice of angels from heaven in answer rang Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Lift up your gates and sing Hosanna in the highest Hosanna to your king
And then me thought my dream was changed
The streets no longer rang Hushed were the glad hosannas
The little children sang
The sun grew dark with mystery
The morn was cold and chill
As the shadow of a cross arose upon a lonely hill
As the shadow of a cross arose upon a lonely hill
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Hark! How the angels sing Hosanna in the highest Hosanna to your king
And once again the scene was changed
New earth there seemed to be I saw the holy city beside the tideless seas
The light of God was on its streets
The gates were open wide And all who would might enter
And no one was denied

No need of moon or stars by night
Nor sun to shine by day
It was the new Jerusalem that would not pass away
It was the new Jerusalem that would not pass away Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Sing for the night is o'er
Hosanna in the highest Hosanna for ever more Hosanna in the highest Hosanna for ever more

O Come All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O 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;
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above! Glory to God, Glory in the highest;
See how the shepherds, Summoned to His cradle, Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze; We too will thither Bend our joyful footsteps;
Lo! star led chieftains, Magi, Christ adoring, Offer Him incense, gold, and myrrh; We to the Christ Child Bring our hearts’ oblations.
Child, for us sinners Poor and in the manger, We would embrace Thee, with love and awe; Who would not love Thee, Loving us so dearly?
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, Born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee be glory given; 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
