Christmas Carols

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.

 

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Peace on earth and mercy mild

God and sinner reconciled

Joyful all ye nations rise

Join the triumph of the skies

With angelic host proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem 

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn king.

 

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

 

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 Savor is born!
Christ the Savior is born!

 

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.

The First Noel

The first noel the angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winters night that was so deep

Noel, noel, noel, noel

Born is the king of Israel

 

Angels We Have Heard on High

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o’er the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echo back their joyous strains

 

Glo…ria, In Excelsius Deo

Glo…ria, In Excelsius Deo

 

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye 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

O tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy.

 

O Little Town of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

 

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

It came upon the midnight clear

The glorious song of old

Of 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.

 

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year.

Glad tidings we bring To you and your kin;

Glad tidings for Christmas And a happy New Year!

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

 

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

This, this is Christ the King, 

The babe the son of Mary.

 

I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas

 

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

 

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh

O’er the fields we go Laughing all the way

Bells on bob tails ring Making spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight

 

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh

 

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer  had a very shiny nose. 

And if you ever saw him,  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!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He’s making a list
And checking it twice
He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

 

A Holly Jolly Christmas

 

Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
It’s the best time of the year
I don’t know if there’ll be snow
but have a cup of cheer
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
Have a holly jolly Christmas
and in case you didn’t hear
Oh by golly
have a holly
jolly Christmas this year

 

 

Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin’,
In the lane, snow is glistenin’
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.
