Angels We Have Heard on High

Away in a Manger

Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella

Refrain:
Lul­ly, lul­lay,
thou lit­tle tiny child,
by by, lul­ly lul­lay.

O sis­ters too,
how may we do
for to pre­serve this day
this poor youngling,
for whom we do sing
by by, lul­ly lul­lay?

Herod the king,
in his rag­ing,
charged he hath this day
his men of might,
in his own sight,
all young chil­dren to slay.

That woe is me,
poor child for thee!
and ever morn and day,
for thy part­ing
nei­ther say nor sing
by by, lul­ly lul­lay! [Refrain]

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

Go Tell it On the Mountain

Refrain:
Go tell it on the moun­tain,
over the hills, and ev’ry­where;
go, tell it on the moun­tain
that Jesus Christ is born.

While shep­herds kept their watch­ing
o’er silent flocks by night,
behold, through­out the heav­ens
there shone a holy light.

Refrain

The shep­herds feared and trem­bled
when lo, above the earth
rang out the angel cho­rus
that hailed our Savior’s birth.

Refrain

Down in a low­ly manger
the hum­ble Christ was born,
and God sent us sal­va­tion
that blessed Christ­mas morn.

Refrain

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

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 pow­er
when we were gone astray.

Refrain:
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.

Refrain

“Fear not,” then said the angel,
“Let noth­ing you affright;
this day is born a Sav­ior
of a pure vir­gin bright,
to free all those who trust in Him
from Satan’s pow’r and might.”

Refrain

The shep­herds at those tid­ings
rejoiced much in mind,
and left their flocks afeed­ing,
in tem­pest, storm, and wind,
and went to Beth­le­hem straight­way,
this blessed Babe to find.

Refrain

Now to the Lord sing prais­es
all you with­in this place,
and with true love and broth­er­hood
each oth­er new embrace;
this holy tide of Christ­mas
all oth­er doth deface.

Refrain

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, though the frost was cru­el,
When a poor man came in sight, gath’ring win­ter fuel.

“Hith­er, page, and stand by me, if you know 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 food and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hith­er,
You and I will see him dine, when we bear them thith­er.”
Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went togeth­er,
Through the cold 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, my good page, tread now in them bold­ly,
You shall find the winter’s rage freeze your 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, while God’s gifts pos­sess­ing,
You who now will bless the poor shall your­selves find bless­ing.

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

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 th’an­gel­ic hosts pro­claim,
“Christ is born in Beth­le­hem!”

Refrain:
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 the Vir­gin’s womb:
veiled in flesh the God­head see;
hail the incar­nate Deity,
pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel.

Refrain

Hail the heav­en-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Right­eous­ness!
Light and life to all he brings,
risen with heal­ing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glo­ry by,
born that we no more may die,
born to raise us from the earth,
born to give us sec­ond birth.

Refrain

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

I Heard the Bells on Christ­mas Day
Their old famil­iar car­ols play,
And wild 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 rolled along the unbro­ken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed 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.”

Till, 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 Three Ships

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 who was in those ships all three,
On Christ­mas Day, on Christ­mas Day?
And whp was in those ships all three,
On Christ­mas Day in the morn­ing?

Our Sav­iour Christ and his lady,
On Christ­mas Day, on Christ­mas Day;
Our Sav­iour Christ and his ladye,
On Christ­mas Day in the morn­ing.

Pray whith­er sailed those ships all three,
On Christ­mas Day, on Christ­mas Day?
Pray whith­er sailed those ships all three,
On Christ­mas Day in the morn­ing?

O they sailed into Beth­le­hem,
On Christ­mas Day, on Christ­mas Day;
O they sailed into Beth­le­hem,
On Christ­mas Day in the morn­ing.

And all the bells on Earth shall ring,
On Christ­mas Day, on Christ­mas Day;
And all the bells on Earth shall ring,
On Christ­mas Day in the morn­ing.

And all the angels in Heav­en shall sing,
On Christ­mas Day, on Christ­mas Day;
And all the angels in Heav­en shall sing,
On Christ­mas Day in the morn­ing.

And all the souls on Earth shall sing,
On Christ­mas Day, on Christ­mas Day;
And all the souls on Earth shall sing,
On Christ­mas Day in the morn­ing.

Il Est Ne, le Divin Enfant

Il est né, le divin Enfant,
Jouez haut­bois rèson­nez musettes!
Il est né, le divin Enfant,
Chan­tons tous Son avène­ment!

Depuis plus de qua­tre mille ans
Nous le promet­taient les prophètes,
Depuis plus de qua­tre mille ans
Nous atten­dions cet heureux temps.

Ah! qu’Il est beau, qu’Il est char­mant,
Ah! que Ses grâces sont par­faites!
Ah! qu’Il est beau, qu’Il est char­mant,
Qu’Il est doux, ce divin Enfant!

O Jésus, Roi tout puis­sant,
Si petit Enfant que Vous êtes,
O Jésus, Roi tous puis­sant,
Régnez sur nous entière­ment.

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, 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.

And ye, beneath life’s crush­ing load,
whose 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 prophet seen of old,
when with the ever-cir­cling years
shall come the time fore­told
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splen­dors fling,
and the whole world send 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 heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n, and heav’n 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 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.

So to hon­or Him, pa rum pum pum pum,

Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming

Lo, how a Rose e’er bloom­ing
From ten­der stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse’s lin­eage com­ing
As men of old have sung.
It came, a flower bright,
Amid the cold of win­ter
When half-gone was the night.

Isa­iah ’twas fore­told it,
The Rose I have in mind:
With Mary we behold it,
The vir­gin moth­er kind.
To show God’s love aright
She bore to men a Sav­ior
When half-gone was the night.

This Flower, whose fra­grance ten­der
With sweet­ness fills the air,
Dis­pels with glo­ri­ous splen­dor
The dark­ness every­where.
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death He saves us
And light­ens every load

O Come, All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles)

O Come O Come Emmanuel (Veni, Veni Emmanuel)

O Holy Night

O 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 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!

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 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 is no stranger.
Behold your King, before Him low­ly bend!
Behold your King, before Him low­ly bend!

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 pow’r and glo­ry ever­more pro­claim!
His pow’r and glo­ry ever­more pro­claim!

O Christmas Tree (O Tannenbaum)

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,
heav’n­ly 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!

Silent night! Holy night!
Won­drous star, lend thy light;
with the angels let us sing
“Alleluia” to our King:
“Christ the Sav­ior is born!
Christ the Sav­ior is born.”

The Boar’s Head Carol

The boar’s head in hand bear I,
Bedecked with bays and rose­mary,
And I pray you, my mas­ters, be mer­ry,
Quot estis in con­viv­io.

Refrain:
Caput apri defero,
Red­dens laudes Domi­no.

The boar’s head, as I under­stand,
Is the bravest dish in all the land,
Which, thus bedecked with a gay gar­land,
Let us servire can­ti­co.

Refrain

3. Our stew­ard hath pro­vid­ed this,
in hon­our of the King of bliss,
which on this day to be servèd is
in Regi­nen­si Atrio.

Refrain

The First Nowell (Noel)

The first Now­ell 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.

Refrain:
Now­ell, Now­ell, Now­ell, Now­ell,
born is the King of Israel.

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. [

Refrain

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.

Refrain

This star drew nigh 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.

Refrain

Then entered in those wise men three,
full rev­er­ent­ly upon their knee,
and offered there in his pres­ence
their gold, and myrrh, and frank­in­cense.

Refrain

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 our life hath bought. [

Refrain

The Friendly Beasts

Jesus, our broth­er, strong and good,
was humbly born in a sta­ble rude,
and the friend­ly beasts around Him stood,
Jesus, our broth­er, strong and good.

“I,” said the don­key, shag­gy and brown,
“I car­ried His moth­er uphill and down,
I car­ried His moth­er to Beth­le­hem town;
I,” said the don­key, shag­gy and brown.

“I,” said the cow, all white and red,
“I gave Him my manger for his bed,
I gave Him hay to pil­low His head;
I,” said the cow, all white and red.

“I,” said the sheep with curly horn,
“I gave Him my wool for His blan­ket warm,
He wore my coat on Christ­mas morn;
I,” said the sheep with curly horn.

“I,” said the dove, from the rafters high,
“I cooed Him to sleep that he should not cry,
we cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I;
I,” said the dove, from the rafters high.

Thus all the beasts, by some good spell,
in the sta­ble dark were glad to tell
of the gifts they gave Emmanuel,
the gifts they gave Emmanuel.

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.

Refrain:
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,
white as the lily flower,
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
to be our sweet Sav­iour.

Refrain

The hol­ly bears a berry,
as red as any blood,
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
to do poor sin­ners good.

Refrain

The hol­ly bears a prick­le,
as sharp as any thorn,
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
on Christ­mas day in the morn.

Refrain

The hol­ly bears a bark,
as bit­ter as any gall,
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
for to redeem us all.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

The Wassail Song

Here we come a‑wassailing
Among the leaves so green;
Here we come a‑wand’ring
So fair to be seen.

And God send you a Hap­py New Year.

Call up the but­ler of this house,
Put on his gold­en ring.
Let him bring us up a glass of beer,
And bet­ter we shall sing.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your was­sail too;
And God bless you and send you a Hap­py New Year
And God send you a Hap­py New Year.

We have got a lit­tle purse
Of stretch­ing leather skin;
We want a lit­tle of your mon­ey
To line it well with­in.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your was­sail too;
And God bless you and send you a Hap­py New Year
And God send you a Hap­py New Year.

Bring us out a table
And spread it with a cloth;

And some of your Christ­mas loaf.

And to you 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 God send you a Hap­py New Year.

Good mas­ter and good mis­tress,
While you’re sit­ting by the fire,
Pray think of us poor chil­dren
Who are wan­der­ing in the mire.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your was­sail too;
And God bless you and send you a Hap­py New Year
And God send you a Hap­py New Year.

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.

Refrain:
O star of won­der, star of light,
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.

Refrain

Frank­in­cense to offer have I;
incense owns a Deity nigh;
prayer and prais­ing, voic­es rais­ing,
wor­ship­ing God on high.

Refrain

Myrrh is mine; its bit­ter per­fume
breathes a life of gath­er­ing gloom;
sor­row­ing, sigh­ing, bleed­ing, dying,
sealed in the stone-cold tomb. [

Refrain

Glo­ri­ous now behold him arise;
King and God and sac­ri­fice:
Alleluia, Alleluia,
sounds through the earth and skies.

Refrain

What Child is This?

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?

Refrain:
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.

Refrain

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peas­ant, king to own Him.
The King of kings sal­va­tion brings;
Let lov­ing hearts enthrone Him.

Refrain

All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth

All I want for Christ­mas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth, see my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, Mer­ry Christ­mas

It seems so long since I could say
“Sis­ter, Susie sit­tin’ on a this­tle“
Gosh, oh gee, how hap­py I’d be
If I could only whis­tle

All I want for Christ­mas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth, see my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, Mer­ry Christ­mas

It seems so long since I could say
“Sis­ter, Susie sit­tin’ on a this­tle“
Gosh, oh gee, how hap­py I’d be
If I could only whis­tle

All I want for Christ­mas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth, see my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, Mer­ry Christ­mas

Mer­ry Christ­mas

Carol of the Bells

Hark how the bells,
sweet sil­ver bells,
all seem to say,
throw cares away

Christ­mas is here,
bring­ing good cheer,
to young and old,
meek and the bold.

Ding dong ding dong
that is their song
with joy­ful ring
all car­ol­ing.

One seems to hear
words of good cheer
from every­where
fill­ing the air.

Oh how they pound,
rais­ing the sound,
o’er hill and dale,
telling their tale.

Gai­ly they ring
while peo­ple sing
songs of good cheer,
Christ­mas is here.
Mer­ry, Mer­ry, Mer­ry, Mer­ry Christ­mas,
Mer­ry, Mer­ry, Mer­ry, Mer­ry Christ­mas.

On on they send,
on with­out end,
their joy­ful tone
to every home.
Ding ding… dong!

Christmas Time is Here

Christ­mas­time is here
Hap­pi­ness and cheer
Fun for all that chil­dren call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Car­ols every­where
Old­en times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beau­ty every­where
Yule­tide by the fire­side
And joy­ful mem­o­ries there

Christ­mas­time is here
Fam­i­lies draw­ing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spir­it through the year

Sleigh bells in the air
Beau­ty every­where
Yule­tide by the fire­side
And joy­ful mem­o­ries there

Christ­mas­time is here
Fam­i­lies draw­ing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spir­it through the year

Christmas Waltz

Mer­ry Christ­mas
Mer­ry Christ­mas
May your New Year dreams come true

Frost­ed win­dow panes
Can­dles gleam­ing inside
Paint­ed can­dy canes on the tree
San­ta’s on his way
He’s filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me

It’s that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
Mer­ry Christ­mas
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three-quar­ter time
Wish­es you and yours
The same thing too

San­ta’s on his way
He’s filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me

It’s that time of year
When the world falls in love

And this song of mine
In three-quar­ter time
Wish­es you and yours
Every­one
Mer­ry Christ­mas

Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of hol­ly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
‘Tis the sea­son to be jol­ly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our gay appar­el,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Toll the ancient Yule tide car­ol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blaz­ing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the cho­rus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fol­low me in mer­ry mea­sure,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide trea­sure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the old year pass­es,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lass­es,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Sing we joy­ous, all togeth­er,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Heed­less of the wind and weath­er,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snow­man was a jol­ly hap­py soul
With a corn­cob pipe and a but­ton nose, eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snow­man is a fairy­tale 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
Oh, 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

Oh, thum­pet­ty thump thump
Thum­pety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thum­pet­ty thump thump
Thum­pety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

Ah, 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
He only paused a moment when he heard him holler, “Stop!“
Because ol’ Frosty the Snow­man had to hur­ry on his way
But he waved good­bye say­ing, “Don’t you cry
I’ll be back again some day”

I’ll be back again some day
I’ll be back again some day

Happy Holiday

Hap­py Hol­i­day
Hap­py Hol­i­day
While the mer­ry bells keep ring­ing
Hap­py Hol­i­day to you

It’s the hol­i­day sea­son
And San­ta Claus is com­ing round
The Christ­mas snow is white on the ground
When old San­ta gets into town
He’ll be com­ing down the chim­ney, down

It’s the hol­i­day sea­son
And San­ta Claus has got a toy
For every good girl and good lit­tle boy
San­ta’s a great big bun­dle o’ joy
When he’s com­ing down the chim­ney, down

He’ll have a big fat pack upon his back
And lots of good­ies for you and for me
So leave a pep­per­mint stick for old St. Nick
Hang­ing on the Christ­mas tree

It’s the hol­i­day sea­son
So hoop-de-do and hick­o­ry dock
And don’t for­get to hang up your sock
’Cause just exact­ly at 12 o’clock
He’ll be com­ing down the chim­ney, down

Have your­self a mer­ry lit­tle Christ­mas
Make the yule-tide gay
From now on, our trou­bles will be miles away

Here were 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

Home for the Holidays

Oh, there’s no place like home for the hol­i­days
’Cause no mat­ter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sun­shine of a friend­ly gaze
For the hol­i­days you can’t beat home sweet home

I met a man who lives in Ten­nessee, he was head­ing for
Penn­syl­va­nia and some home­made pump­kin pie
From Penn­syl­va­nia, folks are trav­el­ling
Down to Dix­ie’s sun­ny shore
From Atlantic to Pacif­ic
Gee, the traf­fic is ter­rif­ic

Oh, there’s no place like home for the hol­i­days
’Cause no mat­ter how far away you roam
If you want to be hap­py in a mil­lion ways
For the hol­i­days you can’t beat home sweet home

Take a bus, take a train
Go and hop an aero­plane
Put the wife and kid­dies in the fam­i­ly car
For the plea­sure that you bring
When you make that door­bell ring
No trip could be too far

I met a man who lives in Ten­nessee, he was head­ing for
Penn­syl­va­nia and some home­made pump­kin pie (some pump­kin pie)

I’ll Be Home for Christmas

I’ll be home for Christ­mas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistle­toe
And presents on the tree

Christ­mas Eve’ll find me
Where the love light gleams
I’ll be home for Christ­mas
If only in my dreams

I’ll be home for Christ­mas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistle­toe
And presents on the tree

Christ­mas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I’ll be home for Christ­mas
If only in my dreams

It’s Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas

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

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

A pair of hop-along boots and a trum­pet that toots
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

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

It’s begin­ning to look a lot like Christ­mas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the car­ol that you sing
Right with­in your heart

(It’s begin­ning to look a lot like Christ­mas)
(Every­where you go)

It’s begin­ning to look a lot like Christ­mas
Soon the bells will start
And the ring that will make them ring
Is the car­ol that you sing
Right with­in your heart

It’s begin­ning to look a lot like Christ­mas
Christ­mas
(Christ­mas)
Christ­mas

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

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

It’s the most won­der­ful time of the year
There’ll be much mistle­toe­ing
And hearts will be glow­ing when loved ones are near

Yes, the most won­der­ful time
Oh, the most won­der­ful time of the yeah

Jingle Bells

Dash­ing through the snow
In 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.

Refrain:
Jin­gle bells, jin­gle bells
Jin­gle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, O
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 there we got upsot.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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 for his speed,
Then hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! You’ll take the lead.

Refrain

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Jol­ly Old Saint Nicholas,
Lean your ear this way;
Don’t you tell a sin­gle soul
What I’m going to say,

Christ­mas Eve is com­ing soon;
Now you dear old man,
Whis­per what you’ll bring to me;
Tell me if you can.

When the clock is strik­ing twelve,
When I’m fast asleep,
Down the chim­ney broad and black
With your pack you’ll creep;
All the stock­ings you will find
Hang­ing in a row;
Mine will be the short­est one;
You’ll be sure to know.

John­ny wants a pair of skates;
Susie wants a sled;
Nel­ly wants a pic­ture book –
Yel­low, blue and red.
Now I think I’ll leave to you
What to give the rest.
Choose for me, dear San­ta Claus;
You will know the best.

Let it Snow

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!

Man it does­n’t show signs of stop­ping
And I brought me some corn for pop­ping
The lights are turned way down low
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

And the fire is slow­ly dying
And, my dear, we’re still good­by­ing
But as long as you’d love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow and snow!

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

Oh, the fire is slow­ly dying
And, my dear, we’re still good­by­ing
But as long as you’d love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Over the River and Through the Woods

Over the riv­er and through the wood
To Grandmother’s house we go.
The horse knows the way
To car­ry the sleigh
Through white and drift­ed snow.

Over the riv­er and through the wood
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes
And bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.

Over the riv­er and through the wood
To have a first-rate play.
Hear the bells ring,
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Hur­rah for Thanks­giv­ing Day!

Over the riv­er and through the wood,
Trot fast, my dap­ple gray!
Spring over the ground
Like a hunt­ing hound,
For this is Thanks­giv­ing Day.

Over the riv­er and through the wood,
And straight through the barn­yard gate.
We seem to go
Extreme­ly slow —
It is so hard to wait!

Over the riv­er and through the wood —
Now Grandmother’s cap I spy!
Hur­rah for fun!
Is the pud­ding done?
Hur­ray for the pump­kin pie!

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree

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 car­olin’

You will get a sen­ti­men­tal feel­in’
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 danc­ing mer­ri­ly
In the new old-fash­ioned way

You will get a sen­ti­men­tal feel­in’
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 danc­ing mer­ri­ly
In the new old-fash­ioned way

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 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.

How do you mea­sure it’s worth
Just by the plea­sure

Chil­dren laugh­ing,
peo­ple pass­ing
Meet­ing smile after smile

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christ­mas day

Strings of street lights
Even stop lights

As the shop­pers rush
home with their trea­sures

Hear the snow crunch

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christ­mas day

for a sleigh ride togeth­er with you,
Out­side the snow is falling
and friends are call­ing “Yoo hoo,”
Come on, it’s love­ly weath­er
for a sleigh ride togeth­er with you.

Gid­dy yap, gid­dy yap, gid­dy yap,
let’s go, Let’s look at the show,
We’re rid­ing in a won­der­land of snow.
Gid­dy yap, gid­dy yap, gid­dy yap,
it’s grand, Just hold­ing your hand,
We’re glid­ing along with a 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 that 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 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 choco­late
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!
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 that road before us
and sing a cho­rus or two
Come on, it’s love­ly weath­er
for a sleigh ride togeth­er with you.

The Christmas Song

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

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

And so I’m offer­ing this sim­ple phrase
To kids from one to nine­ty-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Mer­ry Christ­mas to you

And so I’m offer­ing this sim­ple phrase
To kids from one to nine­ty-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Mer­ry Christ­mas to you

Up on the Housetop

Up on the house­top
Rein­deer pause,
Out jumps good old San­ta Claus.
Down thru’ the chim­ney
With lots of toys,
All for the lit­tle ones,
Christ­mas joys.
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Up on the house­top,
Click, click, click,
Down thru’ the chim­ney
With good Saint Nick.

First comes the stock­ing
Of lit­tle Nell,
Oh, dear San­ta
Fill it well;
Give her a dol­ly
That laughs and cries
One that will open
And shut her eyes.
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Up on the house­top,
Click, click, click,
Down thru’ the chim­ney
With good Saint Nick.

Next comes the stock­ing
Of lit­tle Will,
Oh just see
What a glo­ri­ous fill
Here is a ham­mer
And lots of tacks,
Also a ball
And a whip that cracks.
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Up on the house­top,
Click, click, click,
Down thru’ the chim­ney
With good Saint Nick.

Winter Wonderland

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

Sleigh bells ring Are ya lis­ten­in’
In the lane Snow is glis­ten­ing
A beau­ti­ful sight, we’re hap­py tonight
Walkin’ in the win­ter won­der­land

Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walkin’ 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
Yes, until the oth­er kid­dies knock him down

Lat­er on, we’ll con­spire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we’ve made
Walkin’ in a win­ter won­der­land
Walkin’ in a win­ter won­der­land
