ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGHTRADITIONAL FRENCH CAROL

English translation by James Chadwick (1862)

Angels we have heard on highSweetly singing over the plains

And the mountains in reply,Echoing their joyous strains.

Glo-ori-aIn excelsis de-o

Shepherds, why this Jubilee?Why your joyous strains prolong?What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heavenly song?Glo-ori-a

In excelsis de-o

Come to Bethlehem and seeHim whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended kneeChrist, the Lord,

The newborn KingGlo-ori-a

In excelsis de-o

See Him in a manger laidJesus, Lord of heaven and earth!

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,With us sing our Saviors birth.

Glo-ori-aIn excelsis de-o

AWAY IN A MANGERAttributed to Martin Luther

Away in a manger,

No crib for His bed,The little Lord Jesus

Laid down His sweet head;The stars in the heavens

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 skyAnd stay by my cradle

Till morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus;I ask Thee to stay

Close by me foreverAnd love me I pray!

Bless all the dear childrenIn Thy tender care,And fit us for Heaven

To live with Thee there.

Away in a manger,No crib for His bed,The little Lord Jesus

Laid down His sweet head;The stars in the heavens

Looked down where He lay,The little Lord Jesus

Asleep on the hay

THE CHRISTMAS SONGWords & music by Mel Torm & Bob Wells (1944)First recorded by the Nat King Cole Trio in 1946

Chestnuts roasting on an open fireJack Frost nipping at your nose

Yule-tide carols being sung by a choirAnd folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkeyAnd some mistletoe

Help to make the season brightTiny tots with their eyes all aglowWill find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santas on his wayHes loaded lots of toys

And goodies on his sleighAnd every mothers child is gonna spy

To see if reindeerReally know how to fly.

And so Im offering this simple phraseTo kids from one to ninety-two

Although its been saidMany times, many waysMerry Christmas to you.

THE FIRST NOWELLtraditional English carol (18th century)

The first Nowell the angels did sayWas to certain poor shepherds

In fields as they lay,In fields where they lay

Keeping their sheepOn a cold winters night

That was so deep.Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell!

Born is the King of Israel!

They looked up and saw a starShining in the East beyond them far,And to the earth it gave great light,

And so it continued both day and night.

Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell!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 starWherever it went.


This star drew nigh to the northwest

Over Bethlehem it took its rest,And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where Jesus l ay.Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell!


Then did they know assuredlyWithin that house the King did lie:

One entered in then for to s ee,

And found the Babe in poverty:Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell!


Then entered in those wise men threeFull reverently upon their knee,

And offered there in His presenceTheir gold, and myrrh and frankincense.


Then let us all with one accord

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,That hath made heaven

And earth of naughtAnd with His blood

Mankind hath bought.Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell!

FROSTY THE SNOWMANWords & Music by Steve Jack Rollins & Steve Nelson (1950)

First recorded by Gene Autry & the Cass County Boys

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,

With a corncob pipe and a button noseAnd 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 OhFrosty the snowman was alive as he could be,And the children say he could laugh and play

just the same as you and me.

Thumpetty thump thump thumpety thump thump,Look at Frosty go.

Thumpetty thump thump thumpety thump thump,Over the hills of snow.

Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day,

So he said, Lets run and well 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, sayingCatch me if you can.

He led them down the streets of townRight to the traffic cop.

And he only paused a moment whenHe heard him holler Stop! For

Frosty the snow man had to hurry on his way,But he waved goodbye saying Dont you cry,

Ill be back again some day.

HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SINGWords by Charles Wesley (1739)

Music by Felix Mendelssohn (1840)

Hark! the herald angels singGlory 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 host proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem!Hark! the herald angels singGlory to the newborn King!

Christ, by highest heaven adored;

Christ the everlasting Lord;Late in time behold Him come,Offspring of the favored one.

Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see;Hail the incarnate Deity

Pleased as man with men 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

Bringing joy that will last

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEARWords by Edmund Sears (1849)

Music by Richard Willis

It came upon the midnight clear,

That glorious song of old,From angels bending near the earth

With news of joy foretold,Peace on the earth, good will to men

From heavens all gracious King.The world in solemn stillness lay,

To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come,Loves banner all unfurled;And still their heavenly music floats

Over all the weary world.Above its sad and lowly plains

Old echoes plaintive ring,And ever over its Babel sounds

The blessed angels sing.

Yet with the woes of sin and strifeThe world has suffered long;

Beneath the Angel-strain have rolledTwo thousand years of wrong;

And man at war with man hears notThe love-song which they bring;

O! hush the noise, ye men of strife,And hear the Angels sing.

O ye, beneath lifes crushing loadWhose forms are bending low,Who toil along the climbing way

With painful steps and slow;Look now! for glad and golden hours

Come swiftly on the wing;O rest beside the weary road

And hear the angels sing.

For lo! the days are hastening on,By prophets seen of old,

When with the ever-circling yearsShall come the time foretold,

When the new heaven and earth shall ownThe Prince of Peace their King,

And the whole world send back the songWhich now the angels sing

JINGLE BELLSWords & music by James Lord Pierpont (1857)

first recorded by the Edison Male Quartette in 1898 on an Edison cylinder

Jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to rideIn a one-horse open sleigh, o

Jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to rideIn a one-horse open sleigh.

Dashing through the snowIn a one-horse open sleigh

Oer the fields we go

Laughing all the way.Bells on bob-tail ringMaking spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and singA sleighing song tonight.

Chorus

A day or two ago

I thought Id take a rideAnd soon Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side;The horse was lean and lankMisfortune seemed his lot,We got into a drifted bank

And then, we got upsot.

Chorus

A day or two agoThe story I must tell

I went out on the snowAnd on my back I fell;A gent was riding by

In a one-horse open sleighHe laughed at me asI there sprawling laid

And quickly drove away.

Chorus

Now the ground is white,Go it while youre young,

Take the gir ls tonightAnd sing this sleighing song.

Just get a bob-tailed bay,Two-forty as his speed,

Hitch him to an open sleighAnd crack! youll take the lead.

Music by George Friedrich Handel

Joy to the world! The Lord is come

Let earth receive her kingLet every heart

Prepare him roomAnd heaven and nature singAnd heaven and nature sing

And heaven and heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world, the saviour reignsLet men their songs employ

While fields and floodsRocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joyRepeat the sounding joy

Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy

No more will sin and sorrow growNor thorns infest the ground

Hell come and make all blessings flowFar as the curse was foundFar as the curse was found

Far as, far as the curse was foundHe rules the world with truth and grace

And gives the nations proofThe glories of his righteousness

And wonders of his loveAnd wonders of his love

And wonders and wonders of his love

MY FAVORITE THINGSfrom The Sound of Music

By Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II (1959)

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittensBrown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudelsDoorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wingsThese are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bitesWhen the bee stingsWhen Im feeling sad

I simply remember my favorite thingsAnd then I dont feel so bad

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashesSilver white winters that melt into springs

These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bitesWhen the bee stingsWhen Im feeling sad

I simply remember my favorite thingsAnd then I dont feel so bad

O HOLY NIGHT (CANTIQUE DE NOEL)Words are the French poem Minuit chrtiens by Placide Cappeau

music by Adolphe Adam (1847)English lyrics translated by John Sullivan Dwight (1855)

O holy night,The stars are brightly shining;

It is the night ofOur dear Saviors birth!

Long lay the worldIn sin and error pining,

Till He appearedAnd the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope,The weary world rejoices,

For yonder breaksA 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!

Led by the light of FaithSerenely beaming,

With glowing heartsBy His cradle we stand.So led by light of a star

Sweetly gleaming,Here came the wise men

From Orient land.The King of Kings lay thus

In lowly manger,In all our trials

Born to be our Friend!He knows our need,

To our weakness no stranger;Behold your King!

Before the lowly bend!Behold your King! your King!

Before Him bend.

Truly He taught usTo love one another;

His law is love andHis gospel is peace.

Chains shall He breakFor the slave is our brother

And in His nameAll oppression shall cease.

Sweet hymns of joy inGrateful chorus raise we,

Let all within usPraise His holy name!

Christ is the Lord,Oh praise His name forever,

His powr and glory evermore proclaimHis powr and gloryEvermore proclaim.

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEERWords & music by Johnny Marks, after the story by Robert May (1949)

You know Dasher and Dancer

and Prancer and VixenComet and Cupid

and Donder and BlitzenBut do you recall...

The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

Had a very shiny noseAnd if you ever saw it,You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeerUsed to laugh and call him names

They never let poor RudolphJoin in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say:Rudolph with your nose so bright,

Wont you guide my sleigh tonight?

Then how the reindeer loved him

As they shouted out with glee,Rudolph the red nosed reindeer,Youll go down in history!

Silent night, holy night!

Wondrous star, lend thy light!With the angels let us sing

Alleluia to our King!Christ the Saviour is here,Jesus the Saviour is here!

Silent night, Holy night!

Son of God, loves pure lightRadiant beams from Thy holy face,With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus Lord at thy birth;Jesus Lord at thy birth.

Wo sich heut alle MachtVterlicher Liebe ergo,

Und als Bruder huldvoll umschloJesus die Vlker der Welt!Jesus die Vlker der Welt!

WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT AREWords & music by John Henry Hopkins, Jr. (1857)

We three kings of Orient areBearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain, moor and mountainFollowing yonder star

O Star of wonder, star of nightStar with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceedingGuide us to thy Perfect Light

Born a King on Bethlehems plainGold I bring to crown Him again

King forever, ceasing neverOver us all to rein

O Star of wonder, star of night ...

Frankincense to offer have IIncense owns a Deity nigh

Prayr and praising, all men raisingWorship Him, God most high


Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfumeBreathes of life of gathering gloomSorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying

Sealed in the stone-cold tomb


Glorious now behold Him ariseKing and God and Sacrifice

Alleluia, AlleluiaEarth to heavn replies

O Star of wonder, star of night ....

WHITE CHRISTMASfrom the Bing Crosby film Holiday InnWords & Music by Irving Berlin (1941)

The sun is shiningThe grass is green

The orange and palm trees sway.Ive never seen such a day

In Beverly Hills LA.But its December the 24th

And I am longing to be up North.

Im dreaming of a white ChristmasJust like the ones I used to know.

Where the treetops glisten,And children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

Im dreaming of a white ChristmasWith every Christmas card I write.

May your days be merry and bright.And may all your Christmases be white.
