Angels from the Realm of Glory
Angels from the realm of glory, Wing our flight over all the earth; Ye who sang creation's story Now proclaim the Messiah's birth. Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ, the newborn King. Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching over your flocks by night, God with us is now residing; Yonder shines the infant light: Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ, the newborn King. Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations; Ye have seen His natal star. Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ, the newborn King.
|
Saints, before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear; Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear. Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ, the newborn King. Sinners, wrung with true repentance, Doomed for guilt to endless pains, Justice now revokes the sentence, Mercy calls you, break your chains. Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ, the newborn King. Though an infant now we view Him, He shall fill His Father's throne, Gather all nations to Him; Every knee shall then bow down: Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ, the newborn King. All creation, join in praising God, the Father, Spirit, Son, Evermore your voices raising To the eternal Three in One. |

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 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 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. |

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 First Noel
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. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star Shining in the the East, beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, 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 star wherever it went. |
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel. This star drew night to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest; And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. Then entered in those wise men three, Full reverently upon their knee; And offered there in his presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. |
Frosty the Snow Man
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul With a corncob 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 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. Frosty 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 "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 goodbye saying "Don't you cry I'll be back again some day. " Thumpetty thump thump thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpetty thump thump thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow

God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas day, To save us all from Satan's pow'r When we were gone astray; O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. From God our heavenly Father A blessed angel came. And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same, How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by name: O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. "Fear not," then said the angel, "Let nothing you affright, This day is born a Savior, Of virtue, power, and might; So frequently to vanquish all The friends of Satan quite"; O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
|
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a-feeding, In tempest, storm, and wind, And went to Bethlehem straightway This blessed babe to find: O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. But when to Bethlehem they came, Whereat this infant lay They found him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay; His mother Mary kneeling, Unto the Lord did pray: O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace; This holy tide of Christmas All others doth deface: O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

Good King Wenceslas
Good King Wenceslas looked out, On the Feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, Deep and crisp and even; Brightly shone the moon that night, Tho' the frost was cruel, When a poor man came in sight, Gath'ring winter fuel. "Hither, page, and stand by me, If thou know'st it, telling, Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?" "Sire, he lives a good league hence, Underneath the mountain; Right against the forest fence, By Saint Agnes' fountain." "Bring me flesh, and bring me wine, Bring me pine logs hither: Thou and I will see him dine, When we bear them thither." |
Page and monarch, forth they went,
Forth they went together; Thro' the rude wind's wild lament And the bitter weather. "Sire, the night is darker now, And the wind blows stronger; Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer." Mark my footsteps, good my page; Tread thou in them boldly: Thou shalt find the winter's rage Freeze thy blood less coldly." In his master's steps he trod, Where the snow lay dinted; Heat was in the very sod Which the saint had printed. Therefore, Christian men, be sure, Wealth or rank possessing, Ye who now will bless the poor, Shall yourselves find blessing.

Good Christian Men, Rejoice
John M. Neale
Good Christian men, rejoice With heart and soul and voice; Give ye heed to what we say; News! News! Jesus Christ is born today! Ox and ass before him bow, he is in the manger now; Christ is born today! Christ is born today! Good Christian men, rejoice, With heart and soul and voice; Now ye hear of endless bliss, Jesus Christ was born for this! |
He has op'ed the heav'nly door
And man is blessed evermore. Christ was born for this! Christ was born for this! Good Christian men, rejoice, With heart and soul and voice; Now ye need not fear the grave; Jesus Christ is born to save. Calls you one and calls you all, To gain His everlasting hall. Christ was born to save! Christ was born to save!

Greensleeves
What child is this, who, lay to rest, on Mary's lap, is sleeping Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping
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 |
This, this is Christ the King
whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, Haste, to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh come, peasant, King, to own him; The King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him
This, this is Christ the King whom shepards guard and angels sing Haste, Haste, to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary

Mr. Grinch
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! You're a monster, Mr. Grinch, Your heart's an empty hole, Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch, I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole! You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch, You have termites in your smile, You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch, Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile! 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, |
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic
sauce!
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch, With a nauseous super "naus"!, You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch, Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots! 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"!

Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King! |
The Holly and the Ivy
The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown. O the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a blossom As white as lily flower; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our sweet Savior.
|
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood; Any Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To do poor sinners good. The holly bears a prickle As sharp as any thorn; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ On Christmas day in the morn. The holly bears a bark As bitter as any gall; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ For to redeem us all. The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown. |

I'll Be Home For Christmas
Music by Walter Kent Lyric by Kim Gannon
I'll be home for Christmas You can count on me Please have snow And mistletoe And presents 'neath the tree |
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams I'll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams
Christmas eve will find me Where the love light gleams I'll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams If only in my dreams

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play And mild and sweet the words repeat, Of peace on earth, good will to men. I thought how as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had roll'd along th' unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men.
|
And in despair I bow'd my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men." Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, good will to men." 'Til ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, good will to men! |
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
T. Connor
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
I wonder as I wander out under the sky, How Jesus the Savior did come for to die. For poor on'ry people like you and like I... I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
When Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a cow's stall, With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all. |
But high from God's heaven a star's light did fall,
And the promise of ages it then did recall.
If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing, A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing, Or all of God's angels in heav'n for to sing, He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King.
|
I Saw Three Ships
I saw three ships come sailing in, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day. I saw three ships come sailing in, On Christmas Day in the morning.
And what was in those ships all three, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day. And what was in those ships all three, On Christmas Day in the morning? |
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,
on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day. The virgin Mary and Christ were there, On Christmas Day in the morning.
Then let us all rejoice amain, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day. Then let us all rejoice amain, On Christmas Day in the morning.

It Came Upon the 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, good will 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 O'er all 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 ye 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.
|
Joy to the World
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 earth! 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 blessing 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. |
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleigh Over 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 Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way! O 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; He got into a drifted bank And we we got upsot Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way! What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh |
A day or two ago
the story I must tell I went out on the snow And on my back I fell; A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh He laughed as there I sprawling lie But quickly drove away Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way! What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
Now the ground is white Go it while you're young Take the girls tonight And sing this sleighing song; Just get a bob-tailed bay two-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you'll take the lead Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way! What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh

All the stockings you will find

Lyrics by Sammy Cahn
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! It doesn't show signs of stopping And I've bought some corn for popping The lights are turned way down low Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! |
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm! But if you'll really hold me tight All the way home I'll be warm The fire is slowly dying And, my dear, we're still goodbying But as long as you love me so Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Oh 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 appear'd 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
|
Oh night divine
Oh night divine 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. 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. |
Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem
Oh 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 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 Oh 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 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. Oh holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell O come to us, abide with us, our lord Emanuel.

Rudolph ...The Red Nosed
Reindeer
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donder 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 could 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." |
Silent Night
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 dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus Lord, at Thy birth. Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.

We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land Our cheeks are nice and rosy And comfy cozy are we We're snuggled up together like two Birds of a feather would be Let's take the road before us And sing a chorus or two Come on, it's lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with you There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop Pop! Pop! Pop! There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives These wonderful things are the things We remember all through our lives |

What Child is This?
William C. Dix
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? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary! |
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own Him, The King of kings, salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him. Raise, raise the song on high, The Virgin sings her lullaby: Joy, joy, for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary!

The Wassail Song
Here we come a-wassailing Among the leaves so green, Here we come a wand'ring, So fair to be seen.
Love and joy come to you, And to your wassail too, And God bless you and send you a happy new year, And God send you a happy new year.
We are not daily beggars Who beg from door to door, But we are neighbor's children Whom you have seen before. Love and joy come to you, And to your wassail too, And God bless you and send you a happy new year, And God send you a happy new year. |
We have a little purse
Made of ratching leather skin; We want some of your small change To line it well within.
Love and joy come to you, And to your wassail too, And God bless you and send you a happy new year, And God send you a happy new year.
God bless the Master of this house, Likewise the Mistress too; And all the little children That round the table go.
Love and joy come to you, And to your wassail too, And God bless you and send you a happy new year, And God send you a happy new year. |
Winter Wonderland
Dick Smith and Felix Bernard
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 alligators 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
Walking in a winter wonderland walking in a winter wonderland

We Three Kings of Orient Are
We three Kings of Orient are; Bearing gifts we traverse afar, field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy perfect light. Born a King on Bethlehem's plain Gold I bring to crown him again King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign. Star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy perfect light. Frankincense to offer have I; Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer and praising, all men raising, Worship him God most high. Star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy perfect light. |
Myrrh is mine; it's bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone cold tomb. Star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy perfect light. Glorious now behold him arise, King and God and Sacrafice. Alleluia, Alleluia, Earth to heaven replies. Star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy perfect light.

White Christmas
Irving Berlin
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 |
While Shepherds Watched Their
Flocks
While Shepherds watch their flocks by night All seated on the ground The angel of the Lord came down And glory shone arond "Fear not," said he for mighty dread had seized their troubled mind "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all man-kind" "To you in David's town this day Is born of David's line The Savior who is Christ the Lord And this shall me the sign |
The heav'n'ly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed All meanly wrapped in swathing bands And in a manger laid" Those spoke the seraph and forth-with Appeared a shing throng Of angels praising God who thus Addressed their joyful song "All glory be to God on high And on the earth be peace Goodwill hence-forth from heav'n to men Begin and never cease"
