Christmas Carols

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

Gone away is the bluebird, here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, As we go along,
Walking 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 when you're in town.
 

Later on, we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Rockin' around the Christmas Tree
at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Ev'ry couple tries to stop

You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear voices singing
"Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly" 

Rockin' around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way

Rockin' 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
"Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly"

Rockin' around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way.

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb,
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite."

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
"Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea,
With a voice as big as the sea."

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
"Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold."

Said the king to the people everywhere,
"Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people, everywhere,
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light”

The Christmas Song

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, 
Jack Frost nipping on your nose, 
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, 
And folks dressed up like Eskimos. 

Everybody 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 every mother's child is going to 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, 
Although its been said many times, many ways, 
A very Merry Christmas to you.

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the night of the dear Savior's birth.

Long lay the world, in sin and error pining
'til 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, O hear the angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine

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, and ever, ever praise we
His po-wer and glory for-e-ver more proclaim
His power and glo-ry for-e-ver proclaim

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King,
peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconcile.
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
join the triumph of the skies;
with the angelic host proclaim,
'Christ is born in Bethlehem'
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.

Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come,
offspring of a virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail, the incarnate deity,
pleased as Man with to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.

Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace!
Hail the Son of righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
risen 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.

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 side 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.

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creep
down the stairs to have a peep;
She thought that I was tucked
up in my bedroom fast asleep
Then
I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh
what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus, the Savior did come for to die
To save lowly people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky

Bridge:
Praises to the King (Holy) Saints and angels sing
(You are worthy)

When Jesus was born, it was in a cow’s stall
With shepherds and wise men and angels and all
The blessings of Christmas from Heaven did fall
And the weary world woke too the Sa-a-vior’s call

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 ev'ry street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
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'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

Frosty the Snow Man was a jolly happy soul.
With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose,
and two eyes made out of coal.--
Frosty the Snow Man 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.
Oh, Frosty the Snow Man was alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laugh and play
just the same as you and me.

Chorus:
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.

Frosty the Snow Man knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun
now before I melt away.- -"
Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all around the square,
Saying "Catch me if you can."

He led them down the streets of town
right to the traffic cop,
And he only paused a moment when
he heard him holler, "Stop!"
For Frosty the Snow Man had to hurry on his way,
But he waved good-bye, saying, "Don't you cry;
I'll be back again some day."

Repeat Chorus                  

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 giv’n.
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

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.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come rich and poor to own Him.
The King of Kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
but the fire is so delightful
And since there's no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
and I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Chorus:
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying, and my dear,
we're still good-byeing
But as long as you love me so,
Let it snow, let it now, let it snow

(Repeat Chorus and tag last line)

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
with faithful leaves unchanging,
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
with faithful leaves unchanging,
Not only green in Sumer’s heat,
but also Winters snow and sleet,
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
with faithful leaves unchanging.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
of all the trees most lovely,
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
of all the trees most lovely,
Each year you bring to me delight,
gleaming in the Christmas night,
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
of all the trees most lovely.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
your leaves will teach me also,
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
your leaves will teach me also,
That hope and love and faithfulness,
are precious things I can possess,
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
your leaves will teach me also.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
how lovely are your branches,
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
how lovely are your branches,
In Summer sun or Winter snow,
in coat of green you always show,
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
how lovely are your branches.

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

He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

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

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 Savior, is born!
Christ, the Savior, 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.

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo! 

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
which inspire your heavenly song?

Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

See Him in a manger laid,
whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.

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 
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 all the reindeer loved him 
as they shouted out with glee, 
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, 
you'll go down in history! 

We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some;
 

We won't go until we get some, so bring some out have
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Dashing through the snow. In a one-horse open sleigh.
O'er the fields we go. Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring. Making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride 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 – sing twice)

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

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 Yule-tide 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…

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas 
Just like the ones I used to know 
Where the treetops 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 Christmases be white 

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas 
With every Christmas card I write 
May your days be merry and bright 
And may all your Christmases be white
