Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh,
Through the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright.
Oh what fun it is to 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, hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.


Frosty the Snowman

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
O 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

Thumpety, thump, thump
Thumpety thump, thump.
Look at Frosty go

Thumpety, 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"

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

We Want To See What's Goin' On!

We want to see what's goin' on why should we be left out?
If something special's taking place and history starts from this date
We want to see what's goin' on.

The donkey and the ass are here, the camel, sheep and cow.
But all those shepherds, angels, Kings mean we can hardly see a thing.

We want to see what's goin' on why should we be left out?
If something special's taking place and history starts from this date
We want to see what's goin' on.

We can't climb ladders or the steps, it really isn't fair.
Why can't those people form a queue then we might get a better view?

We want to see what's goin' on why should we be left out?
If something special's taking place and history starts from this date
We want to see what's goin' on.

See what's goin, see what's goin' on * on ** what's goin' on yeah.


Little Donkey

Little Donkey, little donkey, on the dusty road,
Got to keep on plodding onwards with your precious load.
Been a long time, little donkey through the winter's night.
Don't give up now little donkey, Bethlehem's in sight.

Ring out those bells tonight, Bethlehem, Bethlehem,
Follow that star tonight, Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Little donkey, little donkey, had a heavy day,
Little donkey, carry Mary safely on her way.


Away in a Manger

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

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 my side,
'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


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.

O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth
For Christ is born of Mary
And, gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.

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.

O 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 Emmanuel.


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
All is calm, all is bright
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour 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.


We Three Kings

We three King 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 plain
Gold I bring, to crown him again
King for ever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.

O 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.

O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light.

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

O 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 sacrifice
Heaven sings Alleluia
Alleluia the earth replies.

O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light.


Once in Royal David's City

Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for his bed.
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little child

He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable
And His cradle was a stall
With the poor and mean and lowly
Lived on earth our saviour holy


All Around the World

Chorus: All around the world there's singing,
Happy Christmas Day,
Sun or snow the bells are ringing
All around the world today.

From North to South, from toe to mouth,
Music fills our ears,
From east to west the world is blessed,
Music calms our fears.

Chorus

From deserts dry to mountains high,
Music fills the air,
From fields of flowers to high rise towers,
Music's everywhere.

Chorus

From country lanes to crowded trains,
Music fills the skies,
From camel's backs to straw-made shacks,
Music's the reply.

Chorus: All around the world there's singing,
Happy Christmas Day,
Sun or snow the bells are ringing
All around the world.
All around the world there's singing,
Happy Christmas Day,
Sun or snow the bells are ringing
All around the world today,
All around the world today.


A Starry Night

It was on a starry night
When the hills were bright,
Earth lay sleeping, sleeping calm and still.
Then in a cattle shed
In a manger bed,
A boy was born king of all the world.

And all the angels sang for him
The bells of heaven rang for him,
For a boy was born king of all the world.
And all the angels sang for him,
The bells of heaven rang for him,
For a boy was born king of all the world.

Soon shepherds came that way
Where the baby lay
And were kneeling, kneeling by his side,
And their hearts believed again
For the peace of men,
For a boy was born king of all the world.

And all the angels sang for him ....


Children of the World

Chorus: Children of the world celebrate Christmas
Children of the world wherever you are,
Children of the world singing together,
Make the light of hope shine like a star.

Join together,
Let our hands circle the earth,
Join together,
Celebrate Jesus' birth.

Chorus: Children of the world celebrate Christmas
Children of the world wherever you are,
Children of the world singing together,
Make the light of hope shine like a star.
Shine like a star,
Wherever you are,
Children of the World.


Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Hark the Herald Angels sing
"Glory to the new born King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!

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!"
