1 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 bright sky looked down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes

But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes

I love You, Lord Jesus. Look down from the sky

And stay by my side until morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask You to stay

Close by me forever and love me I pray

Bless all the dear children in Your tender care

And fit us for heaven to live with You there

2 Joy to the World

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!

Let earth receive her King;

let ev’ry heart prepare him room

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, repeat the sounding joy.

3 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 reindeers 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

4 God Rest You 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 pow'r

When we were gone astray

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in Israel

This blessed Babe was born

And laid within a manger

Upon this blessed morn

The which His Mother Mary

Did nothing take in scorn

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

5 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 how the reindeer loved him

As they shouted out with glee

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

You'll go down in historyRudolph t he Red-Nosed ReindeerYou know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer & Vixen

Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen

But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all?

6 O little town of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem,

How still we see the 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 to-night.

7 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" (x2)

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 th'incarnate Deity,

pleased with us in flesh to dwell,

Jesus, our Immanuel. [Refrain]

8 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.

Refrain:

O come, let us adore him, (x3)

Christ the Lord!

Sing, choirs of angels,

sing in exultation,

sing, all ye citizens

of heav’n above!

Glory to God,

glory in the highest: [Refrain]

9 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

10 Let It Snow

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

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 brought 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 hate to go 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

11 Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

O’er the fields we go

Laughing all the way (Ha! Ha! Ha!)

Bells on bobtails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride 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!

(x2)

12 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

Troll 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

13 Holly Jolly Christmas

Have a holly jolly Christmas

It's the best time of the year

Now 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

Ho ho the mistletoe

Is 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

14 Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Chorus:

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why,

Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list

He's checking it twice

He's going to find out

Who's naughty and nice,

Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping

He knows when you're awake

He knows when you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

(Chorus)

15 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

16 We Wish You a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas (x3)

and a Happy New Year.

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin

We wish you a Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year.

17 O Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

How lovely are thy branches! (x2)

Your boughs so green in summertime,

Stay bravely green in wintertime.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

How lovely are thy branches!
