LYRICS
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas – Bing Crosby
[Verse 1]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five and ten, glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow
[Verse 2]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (Christmas)
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
[Refrain]
A pair of Hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
[Verse 3]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow
[Verse 4]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make ’em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year – Andy Williams
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you “be of good cheer”
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings
And gay happy meetings when friends come to call
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time
It’s the most wonderful time
It’s the most wonderful time
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
The Christmas Song – Nat King Cole
[Verse]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at 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
[Bridge]
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 gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
[Chorus]
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to 92
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
[Piano Solo]
[Chorus]
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to 92
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Holly Jolly Christmas – Burl Ives
(Ding-dong-ding)
(Ding-dong-ding)
(Ding-dong-ding) Have a holly jolly Christmas
(Ding-dong-ding) It’s the best time of the year
I don’t know if there’ll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
(Ding-dong-ding) Have a holly jolly Christmas
(Ding-dong-ding) And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Oh ho, the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
(Ding-dong-ding) Have a holly jolly Christmas
(Ding-dong-ding) And in case you didn’t hear
Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year
Have a holly jolly Christmas
It’s the best time of the year
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Oh ho, the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
(Ding-dong-ding) Have a holly jolly Christmas
(Ding-dong-ding) And in case you didn’t here
Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year
(Ding-dong-ding-dong)
(Ding-dong-ding-dong)
(Ding-dong-ding)
Jingle Bell Rock – Brenda Lee
Jingle bell, Jingle bell, Jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and Jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the Jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, Jingle bell, Jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in Jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle bell square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it’s the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time it’s a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy up Jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle in a Jingle and beat
That’s the Jingle bell rock
What a bright time, it’s the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time it’s a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy up Jingle horse, pick up those feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle in a Jingle and beat
That’s the Jingle bell
That’s the Jingle bell
That’s the Jingle bell rock
Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree – Brenda Lee
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
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 dancin’ merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
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 dancin’ merrily
In the new old-fashioned way

White Christmas – Bing Crosby
[Verse 1: Bing Crosby & Chorus]
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know (Ooo)
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
[Verse 2: Bing Crosby& Chorus]
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write (Ooo)
“May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white”
[Verse 3: Chorus]
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know (Ooo)
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear (To hear the sleigh bеlls in the snow)
[Verse 4: Chorus, Bing Crosby, Both]
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas (*whistling*)
With еvery Christmas card I write (Mmm)
“May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white” (Mmm)
Let it Snow! – Dean Martin
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Man, it doesn’t show signs of stopping
And I’ve brought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
And the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we’re still goodbyeing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, and snow
[Bridge]
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
But if you really grab me tight
All the way home I’ll be warm
[Verse 4]
Oh, the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we’re still goodbyeing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Here Comes Santa Claus – Gene Autry
[Verse 1]
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeers pulling on the reins
Bells are ringing, children singing, all is merry and bright
So hang your stockings and say your prayers, ’cause Santa Claus comes tonight
[Verse 2]
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane
He’s got a bag that’s filled with toys for boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, oh what a beautiful sight
So jump in bed and cover your head, ’cause Santa Claus comes tonight
[Verse 3]
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane
He doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, he loves you just the same
Santa Claus knows we’re all God’s children, that makes everything right
So fill your hearts with Christmas cheer, ’cause Santa Claus comes tonight
[Verse 4]
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane
He’ll come around when chimes ring out that it’s Christmas morn’ again
Peace on Earth will come to all if we just follow the light
So let’s give thanks to the lord above, ’cause Santa Claus comes tonight
[Verse 1]
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeers pulling on the reins
Bells are ringing, children singing, all is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers, ’cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer – Gene Autry
You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen
Comet, and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all
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 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 how the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee
“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history”
—

Frosty the Snowman – Gene Autry
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say
He was made of snow, but the children know
That 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
Frosty the snowman was as live as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
—
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day
So he said ‘Let’s run and have some fun, now
Before I melt away.’
Down to the village with a broom stick 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
He only paused a moment when they heard him holler, ‘Stop!’
Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying, ‘Don’t you cry
I’ll be back again, someday.’
Frosty the snowman was as live as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day
So he said ‘Let’s run and have some fun, now
Before I melt away.’
You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch – Thurl Ravenscroft
[Verse 1]
You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel
You’re as cuddly as a cactus
You’re as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch
You’re a bad banana
With a greasy black peel
[Verse 2]
You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch
Your heart’s an empty hole
Your brain is full of spiders
You’ve got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch
I wouldn’t touch you
With a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole
[Verse 3]
You’re a vile one, Mr. Grinch
You have termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch
Given the choice between the two of you
I’d take the seasick crocodile
[Verse 4]
You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch
You’re a nasty, wasty skunk
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch
The three words that best describe you
Are as follows, and I quote:
“Stink. Stank. Stunk.”
[Verse 5]
You’re a rotter, Mr. Grinch
You’re the king of sinful sots
Your heart’s a dead tomato splotched
With moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment
Of deplorable rubbish imaginable
Mangled up in tangled-up knots
[Verse 6]
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super-naus
You’re a crooked, jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch
You’re a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich
With arsenic sauce
Everyone is Welcome!
Even though they are both award-winning community ensembles, the Great Bend Chorale and Youth Chorale are both non-auditioned in order to make both choirs as welcoming as possible!
Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer – Elmo & Patsy
[Chorus]
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
[Verse 1]
She’d been drinkin’ too much eggnog
And we’d begged her not to go
But she forgot her medication
And she staggered out the door into the snow
When we found her Christmas mornin’
At the scene of the attack
She had hoof prints on her forehead
And incriminatin’ hoof marks on her back
[Chorus]
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
(Lord, we believe)
[Verse 2]
Now we’re all so proud of Grandpa
He’s been takin’ this so well
See him in there watchin’ football
Drinkin beer and playin’ cards with cousin Mel
It’s not Christmas without Grandma
All the family’s dressed in black
And we just can’t help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?
(send them back)
[Chorus]
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
(Lord, we believe)
[Verse 3]
Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig
And a blue and silver candle
That would have just matched the hair in grandma’s wig
I’ve warned all my friends and neighbors
“Better watch out for yourselves
They should never give a license
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.”
[Chorus]
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa’s
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
Sing it, Grandpa!
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve
(Minding her own business)
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
(What do you mean there’s no Santa?)
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
Sing it, Grandpa!
[Outro]
Oh
As for me and Grandpa, we believe
(We believe in Santa Claus)
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus – The Jackson 5
[Spoken Intro]
Merry Christmas and a happy new year
This is Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 wishing a happy holiday to all mountain fans
[Intro]
Wow! Mommy’s kissing Santa Claus!
[Verse 1]
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus (kissing, 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
[Chorus]
Then I saw mommy tickle, tickle (tickle, 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
[Bridge]
He saw mommy kissing (kissing, kissing, Santa Claus)
I did! I really did see mommy kissing Santa Claus
And I’m gonna tell my dad
[Verse 2]
Then I saw mommy tickle (tickle, 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
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
[Bridge]
I did! I did! I really did see mommy kissing Santa Claus
You gotta believe me! You just gotta believe me!
Come on, fellas, believe me!
You just gotta believe me! (I told you, I told you)
Blue Christmas – Elvis Presley
[Verse 1]
I’ll have a blue Christmas without you
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I’ll be so blue just thinking about you
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
(Ahh, ahh)
Won’t be the same dear, if you’re not here with me
(Ooh)
[Verse 2]
And when those blue snowflakes start fallin’
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
That’s when those blue memories start callin’
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
You’ll be doin’ all right, with your Christmas of white
(Ahh, ahh)
But I’ll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
[Bridge]
(Ooh, ah ooh)
(Ooh, ah ooh)
[Outro]
You’ll be doin’ all right, with your Christmas of white
(Ahh, ahh)
But I’ll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Silver Bells – Dean Martin
[Verse 1]
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 every street corner you hear
[Chorus]
Silver bells (Silver bells), silver bells (Silver bells)
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling), hear them ring (Hear them ring)
Soon it’ll be Christmas Day
[Verse 2]
(Strings of street lights, even stop lights, blink a bright red and green)
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
(Hear the snow crush, see the kids bunch, this is Santa’s big scene)
And above all this bustle you hear
[Outro]
(Silver bells) Silver bells, (Silver bells) silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling), hear them ring (Hear them ring)
Soon it’ll be Christmas Day
Silver bells, silver bells, silver, silver bells

We Need a Little Christmas – Johnny Mathis
Haul out the holly
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Fill up the stocking
I may be rushing things but deck the halls again now
For we need a little Christmas right this very minute
Candles in the window, carols at the spinet
Yes we need a little Christmas right this very minute
Hasn’t snowed a single flurry, but Santa dear we’re in a hurry
Climb down the chimney
Turn on the brightest string of lights I’ve ever seen
Slice up the fruit cake
It’s time we’ve hung some tinsel on the evergreen bough
For I’ve grown a little leaner, grown a little colder
Grown a little sadder, grown a little older
And I need a little angel sitting on my shoulder
Need a little Christmas now
For we need a little music, need a little laughter
Need a little singing ringing through the rafter
And we need a little snappy, happy ever after
We need a little Christmas now!
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas – Sam Smith
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 I dear to us
They gather near to us once more
Through the years
We’ll always 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

I’ll Be Home for Christmas – Michael Bublé
I’m dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it’s a long road back
I promise you
—
I’ll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light breathes
I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I’ll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have some snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas eve will find you
Where the love light breathes
I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Mele Kalikimaka – Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters
Do You Hear What I Hear? – Whitney Houston
[Verse 1]
Do you hear what I hear?
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear? (Hear what I hear)
Ringing through the night, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear (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
[Verse 2]
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know (Know what I know)
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know (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, oh yeah, oh
[Verse 3]
Said the king to the people everywhere, yeah
Listen to what I say (To what I say)
Pray for peace (Peace), people everywhere
Listen to what I say (To what I say)
Oh, a child, a child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light, yes He will
He will bring us goodness and light, yes He will
[Outro]
I know He will, oh, yes He will
(Do you hear what I hear?)
Do you hear? Do you hear?
(Do you hear what I hear?)
Do you hear? Do you know?
(Do you hear what I hear?)
What I know, what I hear
(Do you hear what I hear?)
What I hear, do you know, do you know?
(Do you hear what I hear?)
Do you know, do you know?
All I Want for Christmas is You – Mariah Carey
[Intro]
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah
[Verse 1]
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need (And I)
Don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don’t need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace (Ah)
Santa Claus won’t make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day
[Chorus]
I just want you for my own (Ooh)
More than you could ever know (Ooh)
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
[Verse 2]
Oh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas
I won’t even wish for snow (And I)
I’m just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won’t make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick (Ah)
I won’t even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
[Chorus]
‘Cause I just want you here tonight (Ooh)
Holding on to me so tight (Ooh)
What more can I do?
Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
[Bridge]
Oh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere (So brightly, baby)
And the sound of children’s
Laughter fills the air (Oh, oh yeah)
And everyone is singing (Oh yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing (Oh)
Santa, won’t you bring me the one I really need? (Yeah, oh, oh)
Won’t you please bring my baby to me?
[Verse 3]
Oh, I don’t want a lot for Christmas
This is all I’m asking for (Ah)
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door
[Chorus]
Oh, I just want you for my own (Ooh)
More than you could ever know (Ooh)
Make my wish come true
Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you
[Outro]
You, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby (You)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby (Ah, oh, ah, oh)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby (You)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby (All I really want, baby, ooh)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby (All I want, all I really want is you)
Angels We Have Heard on High
[Verse 1]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
[Chorus]
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
[Verse 2]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song
[Chorus]
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
[Verse 3]
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
Away in a Manger
[Verse 1]
Away in a manger, no crib for His 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
[Verse 2]
The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky
And stay by my side till morning is nigh
[Verse 3]
Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay
Close 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
The First Noel
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
[Verse 3]
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with His blood mankind hath bought
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
[Verse 1]
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!”
[Verse 2]
Christ by highest Heav’n 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 man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! the herald angels sing:
“Glory to the newborn King!”
[Verse 3]
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!”
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold!
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men,
From heaven’s all gracious King!
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still, through the cloven skies, they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
Overall the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing.
And ever o’er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world hath suffered long;
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring:
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years,
Shall come the Age of Gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And all the world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.
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!
God of God, Light of Light
Lo, He abhors not the Virgin’s womb
Very God
Begotten, not created
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
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God
All 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!
O Holy Night
[Verse 1]
O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our 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, O Holy night, O night divine!
[Verse 2]
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come 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 is no stranger
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
[Verse 3]
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; O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim
O Little Town of Bethlehem
[Verse 1]
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in the dark street shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
Silent Night
[Refrain]
Silent night, holy night
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
Silent night, holy night
[Verse 2]
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
[Refrain]
Silent night, holy night
[Verse 3]
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
