Twelve Days of Christmas

Away in a MangerAway in a manger, no crib for His 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 poor Baby wakes But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky.And stay by the cradle till 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 careAnd take us to heaven, to Live with Thee there.

I Saw Three ShipsI saw three ships come sailing byon Christmas Day, on Christmas Day.I saw three ships come sailing byon Christmas Day in the morning.

And what was in those ships all threeon Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?And what was in those ships all threeon Christmas Day in the morning?

The Virgin Mary and Christ were thereon Christmas Day, on Christmas Day.The virgin Mary and Christ were thereon Christmas Day in the morning.

Frosty the SnowmanFrosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soulWith 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 knowHow he came to life one day.There must have been some magic inThat old silk hat they foundFor when they placed it on his headHe began to dance around.Oh, Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be,And the children sayHe could laugh and playJust the same as you and me.Thumpety, thump thump, Thumpety, thump thumpLook at Frosty go.Thumpety, thump thump, Thumpety, thump thump,Over the hills of snow.

Silver BellsCity sidewalks, busy sidewalks,Dressed in holiday style,In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas,Children laughing, people passing,Meeting smile after smileAnd on every street corner you hear:

Chorus:Silver Bells, Silver Bells,It’s Christmas time in the city,Ting-A-Ling, Hear them ring,Soon it will be Christmas Day.

Strings of street lights, even stop lightsBlink a bright red and green,As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch,This is Santa’s big sceneAnd above all the bustle you hear.

Winter WonderlandSleigh 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 a 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 fi re. To face unafraid, the plans that we made,Walking in a Winter Wonderland.

We Wish You a Merry ChristmasWe wish you a Merry Christmas;We wish you a Merry Christmas;We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The fi rst Noel the Angel did say,Was to certain poor Shepherds in fi elds as they lay,In fi elds as they lay a-keeping their sheep,On a cold winter’s night that was freezing so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up above, to the East where a StarThat beyond them shone out in the Heavens from afar,And which to the earth did send down a great light,And so it continued by day and by night. Refrain

And then by the light of that bright guiding Star,There came three Wise Men from a country afar;To seek for a King, it was their intent,And to follow the Star wherever it went. Refrain

The Star went before them unto the North West,And seemed o’er the City of Bethlehem to rest,And there did remain by night and by day,Right over the place where Jesus Christ lay. Refrain

Then entered they all, and those Wise Men threeMost reverently worshiped with low bended knee;And offered to Christ in His Sacred Presence,Gifts of Gold, and of Myrrh, and of sweet Frankincense. Refrain

And now Christians all, with most gladsome accord,Sing praises, sing praises to Jesus our Lord,That made both the Heaven, and the Earth out of nought,And with His Own Blood our Redemption hath wrought.

The First Noel

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 ReindeerHad a very shiny noseAnd, if you ever saw itYou would even say it glows

All of the other reindeerUsed to laugh and call him namesThey never let poor RudolphJoin 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 ReindeerYou’ll go down in history!”

Angels we have heard on high,Singing sweetly through the night,And the mountains in replyEchoing their brave delight.Gloria in excelsis Deo.Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, why this jubilee?Why these songs of happy cheer?What great brightness did you see?What glad tiding did you hear? Refrain

Come to Bethlehem and seeHim whose birth the angels sing;Come, adore on bended kneeChrist, the Lord, the new-born King. Refrain

See him in a manger laidWhom the angels praise above;Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,While we raise our hearts in love. Refrain

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 the sea, With a voice as big as the 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.”
