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

Shining in the east, beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night (to C)

Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. (to C)
3. 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 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 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.

Oh Holy Night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til 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 Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born.
Oh night divine Oh night Oh night divine

With humble hearts we bow in adoration
Before this child, gift of God's matchless love
Sent from on high to purchase our salvation
That we might dwell with Him ever above

What grace untold to leave the bliss of glory
And die for sinners guilty and forlorn
Fall on your knees. Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine. Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine Oh night Oh night divine.

O day of joy, when in eternal splendor
He shall return in His glory to reign
When every tongue due praise to Him shall render
His power and might to all nations proclaim!

Christ is the Lord, O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim
Fall on your knees Before the Lord most holy
Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine Oh night Oh night divine.
5. The Son of God Came Down
V1
The Son of God came down
And laid aside His crown
Born without great renown,
This Sovereign One
All holiness and might,
All glory shining bright
Have come to earth this night
In Mary's son
O come, let us adore
C
O Christ the Lord, our hope and Savior
Son of God yet made like us
O Christ the Lord, our King adored
Born a child, our Lord Jesus
V2
Messiah born so small,
Asleep in cattle stall
Come to redeem our fall,
Nailed to a tree
This tiny, helpless child
Through death would reconcile
The holy God and vile,
His grace so free
O come, let us adore
8. Immanuel
V1
From the squalor of a borrowed stable,
By the spirit and a virgin's faith;
To the anguish and the shame of scandal
Came the Savior of the human race!
But the skies were filled with the praise of heav'n
Shepherds listen as the angels tell
Of the gift of God come down to man,
At the dawning of Immanuel
V2
King of heaven now the Friend of sinners,
Humble servant in the Father's hands,
Filled with power and the Holy Spirit,
Filled with mercy for the broken man
Yes, He walked my road and He felt my pain
Joys and sorrows that I know so well.
Yet His righteous steps give me hope again
I will follow my Immanuel
V3
Through the kisses of a friend's betrayal,
He was lifted on a cruel cross;
He was punished for the world's transgressions,
He was suffering to save the lost
He fights for breath; He fights for me
Loosing sinners from the claims of hell;
And with a shout our souls are free
Death de - feated by Immanuel!
V4
Now He's standing in the place of honor,
Crowned with glory on the highest throne,
Interceding for His own beloved
'Till His Father calls to bring them home!
Then the skies will part as the trumpet sounds
Hope of heaven or the fear of hell;
But the Bride will run to her Lover's arms,
Giving glory to Immanuel
9. O Little Town of Bethlehem
V1
O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in the dark streets shineth
The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
V2
For Christ is born of Mary;
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wond'ring love.
O morning starts together
Proclaim the holy birth;
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on Earth
V3
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.
V4
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.
10. Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer
V1
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
V2
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
BR
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
V3
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!
11. Angels We Have Heard on High
V1
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
C
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
V2
Shepherds why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav'nly song?
V3
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
12. What Child Is This?
V1
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?
V2
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
V3
Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
V4
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.
V5
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
V6
Raise, raise a song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
13. White Christmas
V1
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
V2
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
V3
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

Make the Yuletide gay

Here were are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
15. Silent Night
V1
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!
V2
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!
V3
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!
16. Have a Holly Jolly Christmas
V1
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year.
I don't know if there'll be snow,
But have a cup of cheer.
V2
Have a holly, jolly Christmas,
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet.

Hey, ho, the mistletoe,
hung where you can see,
Somebody's waiting there,
Kiss her once for me.
V3
Have a holly, jolly Christmas,
And in case you didn't hear,
Oh, by golly,
Have a holly, jolly Christmas this year
17. Frosty the Snowman
Thumpetty thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.
V1
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made out of coal.
V2
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.
BR1
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.
V3
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.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.
V4
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.'
V5
Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all
Around the square saying,
Catch me if you can.
BR2
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!'
V6
For Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying,
'Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day.'
Thumpetty thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.
18. I'll Be Home for Christmas
I'm dreamin' tonight of a place I love
Even more then I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
