DECK THE HALLSDeck 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 laDon we now our gay apparel,Fa la la la la la la la laTroll the ancient Yuletide carol,Fa la la la la la la la la.See the blazing Yule before us,Strike the harp and join the chorus,Follow me in merry measure,While I tell of Yuletide treasure,Fast away the old year passes,Hail the new year, ye lad and lasses,Sing we joyous all together,Heedless of the wind and weather.

SILENT NIGHTSilent 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!Silent night! Holy night!Son of God, love’s pure lightRadiant beams from Thy holy face,With the dawn of redeeming grace,Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.

JOY TO THE WORLDJoy to the world the Lord has come;Let earth receive her King;Let every heart prepare Him roomAnd heav’n and nature sing,And heav’n and nature sing,And heav’n, and heav’nand 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.He rules the worldwith truth and grace,And makes the nations proveThe glories of His righteousness,And wonders of His love,And wonders of His love,And wonders, and wonders of His love.

O LITTLE TOWNOF BETHLEHEM

O little town of Bethlehem,How still we see thee lie!Above thy deep and dreamless sleepThe silent stars go by.Yet in thy dark streets shinethThe everlasting Light.The hopes and fears of all the yearsAre met in thee tonight.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 angelsThe great glad tidings tell;O come to us, abide with us,Our Lord Emmanuel.

WHAT CHILDIS THIS

What child is this, who laid to rest,On Mary’s lap is sleeping?Whom angels greetwith anthems sweet,While shepherds watch are keeping?This, this is Christ the King,Whom shepherds guardand angels sing:Haste, haste to bring Him laud,The babe, the son of Mary.So bring Him incense,gold and myrrh,Come, peasant , king, to own him.The King of kings salvation brings,Let loving hearts enthrone Him;Raise, raise to song on high,The Virgin sings her lullaby;Joy, joy for Christ is born,The Babe, the Son of Mary.

AWAY IN A MANGER

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,The little Lord Jesuslaid down his sweet head;The stars in the bright skylooked down where He lay,The little Lord Jesusasleep on the hay.The cattle are lowing,the Baby awakes,But little Lord Jesus;no crying he makes.I love Thee, Lord Jesus;look down from the sky,And stay by my sideuntil morning is night.Be near me, Lord Jesus;I ask Thee to stayClose by me for ever,and love me, I pray.Bless all the dear childrenin Thy tender care,And fit us for heavento live with Thee there.

WHITE CHRISTMASI’m dreaming of a white Christmas,Just like the ones I used to know.Where the treetops glisten,and children listenTo 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.

THE FIRST NOEL

The first Noel the angels did sayWas to certain poor shepherdsinfields as they lay;In fields where they laykeeping their sheepOn a cold winter’s nightthat was so deep.Noel, Noel, Noel, NoelBorn is the King of Israel.They looked up and saw a star,Shinning in the east,beyond them far;And to the earth it gave great light,And so it continuedboth day and night.Then let us all with one accordSing praises to our heavn’ly LordThat hath made heav’nand earth of noughtAnd with his bloodmankind hath boughtNoel, Noel, Noel, NoelBorn is the King of Israel.
