The First Noel
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
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
And 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
Noel, Noel Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
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!
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
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 sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep in 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 cradle ’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.
Hark! the Herald Angels Sing
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.
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 host proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem.”
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”
Christ, by highest heav’n adored:
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
Veil’d in flesh, the Godhead see;
Hail, th’incarnate Deity:
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”
Hail! The heav’n born Prince of peace!
Hail! The Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen 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!”

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King.
Frosty the Snowman
Frosty the Snowman, was a jolly happy soul,
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made of coal.
Frosty the Snowman, is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow, but the children know 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!
Oh, 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,
sayin’, “Catch me if you can.”
He led them down the streets of town, right to the traffic cop;
and only paused a moment, when he heard him holler, “Stop!”
For Frosty, the Snowman, had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin’ “Don’t cry, I’ll be back again some day.”
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight, oh!
Chorus
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!
Now the ground is white, go it while you’re young.
Take the girls tonight, sing this sleighing song.
Get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty for his speed,
and hitch him to an open sleigh and you will take the lead, oh!
Repeat chorus
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
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 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 history”
