Night of Carols and Christmas Market

Angels, from the realms of glory,

wing your flight o'er all the earth;

ye who sang creation's story,

now proclaim Messiah's birth;

Refrain:

Come and worship, come and worship,

worship Christ, the newborn King.

Shepherds in the fields abiding,

watching o'er your flocks by night,

God with man is now residing,

yonder shines the infant Light: [Refrain]

Sages, leave your contemplations,

brighter visions beam afar;

seek the great Desire of nations;

ye have seen his natal star: [Refrain]

Saints before the altar bending,

watching long in hope and fear,

suddenly the Lord, descending,

in his temple shall appear: [Refrain]

All creation, join in praising

God the Father, Spirit, Son;

evermore your voices raising

to th'eternal Three in One: [Refrain]

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plains,

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains.

Refrain:

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

Say what may the tidings be

Which inspire your heavenly song? [Refrain]

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee,

Christ the Lord, the newborn King. [Refrain]

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 thee, Lord Jesus!

Look down from the sky,

And stay by my side until 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 fit us for heaven to live with thee there.

Call:

Children go where I send thee

How shall I send thee?

I’m gonna send thee one by one

One for the little bitty baby

Wrapped in swaddling clothing

Laid in a hollow manger

Born of the Virgin Mary

Refrain:

Born Born Born in Bethlehem

He was Born Born Born in Bethlehem

I’m gonna send you twelve by twelve

Twelve for the tribes of Israel

Eleven for the stars that Joseph saw

Ten for commandments of the law

Nine for the tribes by the Jordan

Eight for the number of Jesse’s sons

Seven for the decades of exile

Six for the wings of the angels

Five for major prophesies

Four for the silent centuries

Three for the angels bearing light

Two for the natures of the Christ

One for the little bitty baby

Wrapped in swaddling clothing

Laid in a hollow manger

Born of the Virgin Mary

Come, Thou long-expected Jesus,

born to set Thy people free;

from our fears and sins release us;

let us find our rest in Thee.

Israel's strength and consolation,

hope of all the earth Thou art,

dear Desire of ev'ry nation,

joy of every longing heart.

Joy to those who long to see Thee,

Dayspring from on high, appear;

come, Thou promised Rod of Jesse,

of Thy birth we long to hear!

O'er the hills the angels singing

news, glad tidings of a birth:

"Go to hHim, your praises bringing;

Christ the Lord has come to earth."

Come to earth to taste our sadness,

He whose glories knew no end;

by His life He brings us gladness,

our Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend.

Leaving riches without number,

born within a cattle stall;

this the everlasting wonder,

Christ was born the Lord of all.

Born Thy people to deliver,

born a child and yet a King,

born to reign in us forever,

now Thy gracious kingdom bring.

By thine own eternal Spirit,

rule in all our hearts alone;

by Thine all-sufficient merit,

raise us to Thy glorious throne.

Deck the hall with boughs of holly,

'Tis the season to be jolly,

Don we now our gay apparel,

Troll the ancient Christmas carol,

See the blazing yule before us,

Strike the harp and join the chorus.

Follow me in merry measure,

While I tell of Christmas treasure,

Fast away the old year passes,

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses!

Sing we joyous all together,

Heedless of the wind and weather,

Fa la la la la, la la, la la!

Ding dong, merrily on high!

In heav’n the bells are ringing;

ding dong, verily the sky

is riv’n with angel singing.

Refrain:

Gloria, hosannah in excelsis!

Gloria, hosannah in excelsis!

E'en so here below, below,

let steeple bells be swungen,

And io, io, io,

by priest and people sungen.

Pray ye dutifully prime

your matin chime, ye ringers;

may ye beautifully rhyme

your evetime song, ye singers.

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 sea

With a voice as big as 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

En la noche los pastores


a sus ovejitas velan;


ángeles del cielo alaban,


ángeles del cielo cantan.


Pastorcitos, id, pastorcitos, ya.

Coro:


A adorar al Niño,


a adorar al Niño,


que en Belén está,

que en Belén está.

Del oriente unos magos


siguen la brillante estrella;


quieren ofrecer regalos,


traen muy valiosos dones.


Magos, hoy venid;


magos, hoy llegad.



Con alegre reverencia


en la bella noche buena,


los cristianos hoy alaban,


los cristianos todos cantan:


pueblos, hoy venid;


pueblos, hoy llegad.

God rest you 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.

Refrain

O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy,

O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God our heav'nly Father

a blessed angel came

and unto certain shepherds

brought tidings of the same;

how that in Bethlehem was born

the Son of God by name.

"Fear not," then said the angel,

"Let nothing you affright;

this day is born a Savior

of a pure virgin bright,

to free all those who trust in Him

from Satan's pow'r and might."

The shepherds at those tidings

rejoiced much in mind,

and left their flocks afeeding,

in tempest, storm, and wind,

and went to Bethlehem straightway,

this blessed Babe to find.

Now to the Lord sing praises

all you within this place,

and with true love and brotherhood

each other now embrace;

this holy tide of Christmas

all other doth deface.

Refrain:

Go, tell it on the mountain,

over the hills and everywhere;

go, tell it on the mountain

that Jesus Christ is born.

While shepherds kept their watching

o’er silent flocks by night,

behold, throughout the heavens

there shone a holy light.

The shepherds feared and trembled

when, lo! Above the earth

rang out the angel chorus

that hailed our Savior’s birth.

Down in a lowly manger

our humble Christ was born,

and God sent us salvation

that blessed Christmas morn.

Good Christian men, rejoice

with heart and soul and voice;

give ye heed to what we say:

Jesus Christ was born today.

Ox and ass before him bow,

and he is in the manger now.

Christ is born today!

Christ is born today!

Good Christian men, rejoice


with heart and soul and voice;


now ye hear of endless bliss:


Jesus Christ was born for this!


He has opened heaven's door,


and we are blest forevermore.


Christ was born for this!


Christ was born for this!

Good Christian men, rejoice


with heart and soul and voice;


now ye need not fear the grave:


Jesus Christ was born to save!


Calls you one and calls you all


to gain his everlasting hall.


Christ was born to save!


Christ was born to save!

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"

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.

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

Light and life to all he brings,

risen with healing in his wings.

Mild he lays his glory by,

born that we no more may die,

born to raise us from the earth,

born to give us second birth.

Infant holy, infant lowly,

for his bed a cattle stall;

oxen lowing, little knowing

Christ, the babe, is Lord of all.

Swift are winging angels singing,

noels ringing, tidings bringing:

Christ the babe is Lord of all.

Christ the babe is Lord of all!

Flocks were sleeping: shepherds keeping

vigil till the morning new

saw the glory, heard the story,

tidings of a gospel true.

Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,

praises voicing, greet the morrow:

Christ the babe was born for you.

Christ the babe was born for you.

It came upon the midnight clear,

that glorious song of old,

from angels bending near the earth

to touch their harps of gold:

"Peace on the earth, good will to men,

from heaven's all-gracious King."

The world in solemn stillness lay,

to hear the angels sing.

Yet with the woes of sin and strife,

the world has suffered long;

beneath the heav’nly hymn have rolled

two thousand years of wrong,

and warring humankind hears not

the tidings which they bring.

O hush the noise and cease your strife

and hear the angels sing.

And you, beneath life's crushing load,

whose forms are bending low,

who toil along the climbing way

with painful steps and slow,

look now! for glad and golden hours

come swiftly on the wing.

O rest beside the weary road,

and hear the angels sing!

For lo! the days are hastening on,

by prophet seen of old,

when with the ever-circling years

comes round the age of gold

when peace shall over all the earth

its ancient splendors fling,

and the whole world send back the song

which now the angels sing.

Dashing thro' the snow,

In a one-horse open sleigh,

O'er the fields we go,

Laughing all the way;

Bells on bobtail ring,

Making spirits bright;

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight!

Refrain:

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!

A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride;

And soon Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side.

The horse was lean and lank;

Misfortune seemed his lot;

He got into a drifted bank,

And we, we got upsot.

Now the ground is white,

Go it while you're young;

Take the girls tonight,

And sing this sleighing song.

Just get a bob tailed bay,

Two forty for his speed;

Then hitch him to an open sleigh,

And crack! you'll take the lead.

Joy to the world; the Lord is come;

Let Earth re-ceive her King;

Let ev-'ry heart pre-pare him room,

And heav'n and na-ture sing.

And heav'n and na-ture sing.

And heav’n, and heav'n and na-ture sing.

Joy to the Earth, the Sav-ior reigns;

Let men their songs em-ploy,

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,

Re-peat the sound-ing joy.

Re-peat the sound-ing joy.

Re-peat, re-peat the sound-ing joy.

No more let sins and sor-rows grow,

Nor thorns in-fest the ground;

He comes to make his bless-ings flow

Far as the curse is found.

Far as the curse is found.

Far as, far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the na-tions prove

The glo-ries of his right-eous-ness,

And won-ders of his love.

And won-ders of his love.

And won-ders, won-ders of his love.

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,

and with fear and trembling stand;

ponder nothing earthly-minded,

for with blessing in his hand,

Christ our God to earth descendeth,

our full homage to demand.

King of kings, yet born of Mary,

as of old on earth he stood,

Lord of lords, in human vesture,

in the body and the blood,

he will give to all the faithful

his own self for heav'nly food.

Rank on rank the host of heaven

spreads its vanguard on the way,

as the Light of light descendeth

from the realms of endless day,

that the pow'rs of hell may vanish

as the darkness clears away.

At his feet the six-winged seraph,

cherubim, with sleepless eye,

veil their faces to the presence,

as with ceaseless voice they cry,

"Alleluia, alleluia,

alleluia, Lord Most High!”

Come, they told me, pa rum pum pum pum

A newborn King to see, pa rum pum pum pum

Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum

To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,

rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,

When we come.

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum

I am a poor boy, too, pa rum pum pum pum

I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum

That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,

rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,

On my drum?

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum

Thee ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum

I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum

I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,

rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum

Me and my drum.

Lo, how a rose e’er blooming

from tender stem hath sprung,

of Jesse’s lineage coming,

as men of old have sung.

It came, a flow’ret bright,

amid the cold of winter,

when half-spent was the night.

Isaiah ‘twas foretold it,

the rose I have in mind;

with Mary we behold it,

the virgin mother kind.

To show God’s love aright,

she bore to men a Savior,

when half-spent was the night.

The shepherds heard the story,

proclaimed by angels bright,

how Christ, the Lord of glory,

was born on earth this night.

To Bethlehem they sped

and in the manger found him,

as angel heralds said.

This flow’r, whose fragrance tender

with sweetness fills the air,

dispels with glorious splendor

the darkness ev’rywhere.

True man, yet very God;

from sin and death he saves us

and lightens ev’ry load.

O Savior, child of Mary,

who felt our human woe;

O Savior, King of glory,

who dost our weakness know,

bring us at length, we pray,

to the bright courts of heaven

and to the endless day.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,

How green thy branches ever!

Thou still art green when summer wanes

And wintry winds sweep o’er the plains.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,

Thy verdant branches please me!

The sight of thee at Christmastime

Doth make me sing a joyful rhyme.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,

Thy dress so green would teach me:

Fair hope, in trouble and distress,

Is felt to be a sweet caress.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,

What golden lights adorn thee!

Like stars they shine in beauty bright,

To fill each heart with pure delight.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,

How loving hands have decked thee!

Thus God’s own love will make of me

For Paradise a shining tree.

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,

O come, let us adore him,

O Come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

God of God, Light of Light,

lo, He abhors not the virgin's womb;

very God, begotten not created;

Sing, choirs of angels; sing in exultation;

sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above!

Glory to God, all glory in the highest!

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning;

Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv'n!

Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing!

Venid, fieles todos, a Belén marchemos

de gozo triunfantes, y llenos de amor;

Y al Rey de los cielos humilde veremos;

Coro:

Venid y adoremos, venid y adoremos,

venid y adoremos a Cristo el Señor.

Cantad jubilosas, célicas criaturas;

resuenen los cielos con vuestra canción:

¡Al Dios bondadoso, gloria en las alturas;

Jesús, celebramos tu bendito nombre

con himnos solemnes de grato loor;

por siglos eternos todo ser te adore;

O come, O come, Emmanuel,

And ransom captive Israel,

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear.

Refrain:

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O come, thou Lord of might,

who to thy tribes, on Sinai's height,

in ancient times didst give the law

in cloud and majesty and awe.

O come, thou Rod of Jesse, free

thine own from Satan's tyranny;

from depths of hell thy people save,

and give them vict'ry o'er the grave.

O come, thou Dayspring from on high,

and cheer us by thy drawing nigh;

disperse the gloomy clouds of night,

and death's dark shadows put to flight.

O come, thou Key of David, come

and open wide our heav'nly home;

make safe the way that leads on high,

and close the path to misery.

¡O ven! ¡o ven, Emanuel!

Rescata ya a Israel,

Que llora en su desolación

Y espera su liberación.

Refrain

Vendra, vendra, Rey Emanuel,

Alégrate, oh Israel.

Oh ven O ven Emmanuel

Que das la ley y eres nuestro Rey

Ven Esperrado ven Redentor

Ven a tu pueblo Dios y Salvador

Oh Ven Raíz del tronco de Jesé

Al zado como signo salvador

A ti los pueblos claman señor

Ven a líbranos, ya no tardes más

Anhelo de los pueblos, ven;

En ti podremos paz tener;

De crueles guerras líbranos,

Y reine soberano Dios.

O holy night! the stars are brightly shining;

It is the night of the dear Savior's birth.

Long lay the world in sin and error pining,

Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope--the weary world rejoices,

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!

O night divine, O night when Christ was born!

O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,

With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand.

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,

Here came the Wise Men from Orient land.

The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,

In all our trials born to be our Friend.

He knows our need– to our weakness is no stranger.

Behold your King, before him lowly bend!

Behold your King, before him lowly bend!

Truly he taught us to love one another;

His law is love and his gospel is peace.

Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,

And in his name all oppression shall cease.

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we;

Let all within us praise his holy name.

Christ is the Lord! O praise his name forever!

His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!

His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!

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.

For Christ is born of Mary;

and gathered all above,

while mortals sleep, the angels keep

their watch of wond’ring love.

O morning stars, together

proclaim the holy birth!

And praises sing to God the King,

and peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently,

the wondrous gift is giv’n!

So God imparts to human hearts

the blessings of his heav’n.

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.

Of the Father's love begotten

ere the worlds began to be,

he is Alpha and Omega,

he the Source, the Ending he,

of the things that are, that have been,

and that future years shall see,

evermore and evermore!

O that birth forever blessed,

when the Virgin, full of grace,

by the Holy Ghost conceiving,

bore the Savior of our race;

and the babe, the world's Redeemer,

first revealed his sacred face,

evermore and evermore!

This is he whom heav'n-taught singers

sang of old with one accord,

whom the Scriptures of the prophets

promised in their faithful word;

now he shines, the long-expected;

let creation praise its Lord,

evermore and evermore!

O ye heights of heav'n, adore him;

angel hosts, his praises sing;

all dominions, bow before him,

and extol our God and King;

let no tongue on earth be silent,

ev'ry voice in concert ring,

evermore and evermore!

Christ, to thee, with God the Father,

and, O Holy Ghost, to thee,

hymn, and chant, and high thanksgiving,

and unwearied praises be,

honor, glory, and dominion,

and eternal victory,

evermore and evermore!

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 meek, and lowly,

lived on earth our Savior holy.

And our eyes at last shall see Him,

through His own redeeming love;

for that Child so dear and gentle

is our Lord in heav'n above,

and He leads His children on

to the place where He is gone.

Not in that poor lowly stable,

with the oxen standing by,

we shall see Him, but in heaven,

set at God’s right hand on high;

when like stars His children crowned

all in white shall wait around.

There’s a star in the East on Christmas morn;

Rise up, shepherd, and follow;

It will lead to the place where the Christ was born;

Rise up, shepherd, and follow.

Refrain:

Follow, follow;

Rise up, shepherd, and follow.

Follow the Star of Bethlehem;

Rise up, shepherd, and follow.

Leave your sheep, leave your sheep, and leave your lambs;

Rise up, shepherd, and follow;

Leave your ewes and your rams, leave your ewes and rams;

Rise up, shepherd, and follow.

If you take good heed to the angel’s words;

Rise up, shepherd, and follow;

You’ll forget your flocks, you’ll forget your herds;

Rise up, shepherd, and follow.

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,

Darkness flies, all is light;

Shepherds hear the angels sing,

"Alleluia! hail the King!

Christ the Savior is born,

Christ the Savior 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.

Silent night, holy night,

Wondrous star, lend the light;

With the angels let us sing

Alleluia to our King;

Christ the Savior is born,

Christ the Savior is born.

¡Noche de paz, noche de amor!

Todo duerme en derredor.

Entre los astros que esparcen su luz

Bella anunciando al niñito Jesús

Brilla la estrella de paz

Brilla la estrella de paz

¡Noche de paz, noche de amor!

Oye humilde el fiel pastor,

Coros celestes que anuncian salud,

Gracias y glorias en gran plenitud,

Por nuestro buen Redentor

Por nuestro buen Redentor

¡Noche de paz, noche de amor!

Ved qué bello resplandor

Luce en el rostro del niño Jesús

En el pesebre, del mundo la luz

Astro de eterno fulgor

Astro de eterno fulgor

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 winter's night that was so deep.

Refrain

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel!

They looked up and saw a star

Shining in the east, beyond them far,

And to the earth it gave great light,

And so it continued both day and night.

And by the light of that same star

Three Wise Men came from country far;

To seek for a King was their intent,

And to follow the star wherever it went.

This star drew nigh to the northwest,

O’er Bethlehem it took its rest,

And there it did both stop and stay,

Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Then entered in those Wise Men three,

Full rev'rently upon their knee,

And offered there in His presence

Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

Then let us all with one accord

Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord,

That hath made heav'n and earth of naught,

And with His blood mankind hath bought.

The holly and the ivy

when they are both full grown,

of all the trees that are in the wood

the holly bears the crown.

Refrain:

The rising of the sun

and the running of the deer,

the playing of the merry organ,

sweet singing in the choir.

The holly bears a blossom,

white as the lily flower,

and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,

to be our sweet Saviour.

The holly bears a berry,

as red as any blood,

and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

to do poor sinners good.

The holly bears a prickle,

as sharp as any thorn,

and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

on Christmas day in the morn.

The holly bears a bark,

as bitter as any gall,

and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

for to redeem us all. [Refrain]

The holly and the ivy,

when they are both full grown,

of all the trees that are in the wood

The holly bears the crown.

O the holly bears a berry as white as the milk,

And Mary bore Jesus, who was wrapped up in silk:

Refrain

And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be,

And the first tree that’s in the greenwood, it was the holly.

Holly! Holly!

And the first tree that’s in the greenwood, it was the holly!

O the holly bears a berry as green as the grass,

And Mary bore Jesus, who died on the cross:

O the holly bears a berry as black as the coal,

And Mary bore Jesus, who died for us all:

O the holly bears a berry, as blood is it red,

Then trust we our Saviour, who rose from the dead:

On Christmas night all Christians sing

to hear the news the angels bring;

on Christmas night all Christians sing

to hear the news the angels bring:

news of great joy, news of great mirth,

news of our merciful King’s birth.

Then why should men on earth be sad,

since our Redeemer made us glad?

Then why should men on earth be sad,

since our Redeemer made us glad,

when from our sin He set us free,

all for to gain our liberty?

When sin departs before His grace,

then life and health come in its place;

when sin departs before His grace,

then life and health come in its place;

angels and men with joy may sing,

all for to see the newborn King.

All out of darkness we have light,

which made the angels sing this night;

all out of darkness we have light,

which made the angels sing this night:

“Glory to God and peace to men,

now and forevermore. Amen.”

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me

Good people all, this Christmas time

Consider well and bear in mind

What our good God for us has done

In sending his beloved son

With Mary holy we should pray

To God with love this Christmas Day

In Bethlehem upon that morn

There was a blessed Messiah born

Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep

Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep

To whom God's angels did appear

Which put the shepherds in great fear

'Prepare and go, ' the angels said

'To Bethlehem, be not afraid

For there you'll find, this happy morn

A princely babe, sweet Jesus born

With thankful heart and joyful mind

The shepherds went, this babe to find

And as God's angel had foretold

They did our saviour Christ behold

Within a manger he was laid

And by his side the virgin maid

Attending on the Lord of life

Who came on earth to end all strife

Twixt the Ox and Donkey

‘Twixt ox and ass in humble shed,

Sleep, sleep, in Thy lowly bed

Refrain

Countless Cherubim, shining Seraphim

Watching all above the mighty Lord of Love

‘Mid lilies white and roses red,

Sleep, sleep, in Thy lowly bed

‘Mid gentle shepherd hither led,

Sleep, sleep, in Thy lowly bed

Entre le boeuf et l’âne gris

Refrain

Dort, dort, dort le petit fils.

Mille anges divins, mille séraphins

Volent à l’entour de ce grand Dieu d’amour.

Entre les roses et les lis

Entre les pastoureaux jolis

Entre les deux bras de Marie

Up on the housetop reindeer pause,


Out jumps good old Santa Claus.


Down thru the chimney with lots of toys,


All for the little ones, Christmas joys.

Refrain

Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go.


Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go!


Up on the housetop, click, click, click.


Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick.

First comes the stocking of little Nell;


Oh, dear Santa, fill it well;

Give her a dolly that laughs and cries,


One that will open and shut her eyes.

Next comes the stocking of little Will


Oh, just see what a glorious fill


Here is a hammer, And lots of tacks


Also a ball, And a whip that cracks.

Here are the stockings of Lazy Jim,


What will the good Saint do for him?


Lo! he is filling them up with bran


There, he is adding a new ratan!



Pa, ma, and Uncle, and Grandma too,


All I declare have something new;


Even the baby enjoys his part,


Shaking a rattle, now bless his heart.



Rover come here, are you all alone,


Haven't they tossed you an extra bone?


Here's one to gladden your honest jaws


Now waga "thank'ee" to Santa Claus.

Veiled in dark-ness Ju-dah lay,

Wait-ing for the prom-ised day,

While a-cross the shad-ow-y night

Streamed a flood of glo-ri-ous light,

Heav-en-ly voic-es chant-ing then,

"Peace on earth, peace on earth, good-will, good-will to men."

Still the earth in dark-ness lies.

Up from death’s dark va-le a-rise

Voic-es of a world in grief,

Prayers of men who seek re-lief:

Now our dark-ness pierce a-gain,

"Peace on earth, peace on earth, good-will, good-will to men."

Light of light, we hum-bly pray,

Shine up-on your world to-day;

Break the gloom of our dark night,

Fill our souls with love and light,

Send your bless-ed word a-gain,

"Peace on earth, peace on earth, good-will, good-will to men."

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.

Haste, haste to bring him laud, the Babe, the son of Mary.

Why lies he in such mean estate where ox and lamb are feeding?

Good Christian, fear: for sinners here the silent Word is pleading.

Nails, spear shall pierce him through; the cross be borne for me, for you.

Hail, hail the Word made flesh, 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 the song on high. The virgin sings her lullaby.

Joy, joy for Christ is born, the Babe, the son of Mary!

We three kings of Orient are


Bearing gifts, we traverse afar.


Field and fountain, moor and mountain,


Following yonder star.


Refrain

Oh, 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's plain,


Gold we bring to crown Him again,


King forever, ceasing never,


Over us all to reign.


Frankincense to offer have I;


Incense owns a Deity nigh.


Prayer and praising voices raising,


Worshiping God on high.


Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume;


Breathes a life of gathering gloom.


Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,


Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.


Glorious now behold Him arise,


King and God and Sacrifice.


Alleluia, Alleluia

Earth to heav’n re-plies.

We wish you a merry Christmas


We wish you a merry Christmas


We wish you a merry Christmas


And a happy New Year



Refrain:


Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;


Good tidings of Christmas and a happy New Year!

Now bring us some figgy pudding


Now bring us some figgy pudding


Now bring us some figgy pudding


Now bring some out here

We won't go until we get some


We won't go until we get some


We won't go until we get some


So bring some out here
