Away In A Manger

Deck The Halls The First Noel

Merry Little Christmas Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,

The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.The stars in the 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 stayClose 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.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la!

‘Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la!

Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la!

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,Let your heart be lightFrom now on,our troubles will be out of sightHave 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 usGather near to us once more.Through the years, We all will be together,If the Fates allowHang a shining star upon the highest bough.And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

The first noel the angels did singWas to certain poor shepherds in fields as they layIn fields fields where they lay keeping their sheepOn a cold winter’s night that was so deepNoel, noel, noel, noelBorn is the king of Israel

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Jingle Bells

God rest ye merry, gentlemenLet nothing you dismayRemember, Christ, our SaviourWas born on Christmas dayTo save us all from Satan’s powerWhen we were gone astrayO tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy

Dashing through the snow,In a one horse open sleigh

Over the fields we goLaughing all the way.bells on bob tail ringmaking spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and singA sleighing song tonight

Oh jingle bells jingle bellsjingle all the way!

Oh what funit 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

Joy To The World Let It SnowJoy 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 plainsRepeat 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 flowFar 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.

Oh, the weather outside is frightfulBut the fire is so delightfulAnd since we’ve no place to goLet it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn’t show signs of stoppingAnd I’ve bought some corn for poppingThe lights are turned way down lowLet it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnightHow I’ll hate going out in the stormBut if you’ll really hold me tightAll the way home I’ll be warm

The fire is slowly dyingAnd my dear, we’re still goodbyingAs long as you love me soLet it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnightHow I’ll hate going out in the stormBut if you’ll really hold me tightAll the way home I’ll be warm

The fire is slowly dyingAnd my dear, we’re still goodbyingAs long as you love me soLet it snow, let it snow, let it snow

O Come, All Ye Faithful

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

O Come All Ye FaithfulJoyful 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.O Sing, choirs of angels,

Sing in exultation,Sing all that hear in heaven God’s holy word.

Give to our Father glory in the Highest;O come, let us adore Him,O come, let us adore Him,O come, let us adore Him,

Christ the Lord.All Hail! Lord, we greet Thee,

Born this happy morning,O Jesus! for evermore be Thy name adored.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.

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,you know Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,But do you recallThe most famous reindeer of all1

Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerHad a very shiny noseAnd if you ever saw itYou would even say it glowsAll of the other reindeerUsed to laugh and call him namesThey never let poor RudolphJoin in any reindeer games1

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,Santa came to say,Rudolph with your nose so bright,Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight

Then how all the reindeer loved him,As they shouted out with glee,Rudolph the red-nose ReindeerYou’ll go down in history

Silent NightSilent night, Holy nightAll is calm, all is brightRound yon virgin, mother and childHoly infant, so tender and mildSleep in heavenly peace,Sleep in heavenly peace.Silent night, Holy nightSon of God, love’s pure lightRadiant beams from thy holy faceWith the dawn of redeeming grace,Jesus, Lord at thy birthJesus, Lord at thy birthSilent night, Holy nightShepherds quake, at the sightGlories stream from heaven aboveHeavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah.Christ the Savior is born,Christ the Savior is born.

Winter WonderlandSleigh bells ring are you listening

In the lane snow is glisteningA beautiful sight oh we’re happy tonight

Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebirdHere to stay is a new bird

He’s singing a song as we go alongWalking in a winter wonderland

Well in the meadow we can build a snowmanAnd pretend that he is Parson Brown

He’ll say are you married we say no manBut you can do the job when you’re in town

Later on we’ll conspire as we dream by the fireTo face unafraid of the plans that we made

Walking in a winter wonderland

And pretend he’s a circus clownWe have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman

Until the other kiddies knock him down

Oh when it snows ain’t it fillingThough your nose gets a chilling

We’ll frolic and play the Eskimo wayWalking in a winter wonderland

12 Days Of Christmas The Christmas SongOn the first day of Christmas , my true love gave to me....

Partridge in a pear tree. Two Turtle Doves

Three French HensFour Calling Birds

Fiiiiiiiive GOLDEN Rings!Six Geese a Laying

Seven Swans a SwimmingEight Maids a MilkingNine Ladies DancingTen Lords a LeapingEleven Pipers Piping

Twelve Drummers Drumming

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, Merry Christmas to you
