I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day We Need a Little Christmas
I heard the bells on Christmas Day Haul out the holly; Put up the tree before my spirit falls again.
Their old familiar carols play. Fill up the stocking, I may be rushing things,
And wild and sweet the words repeat but deck the halls again now.
Of Peace on earth, good will to men. For we need a little Christmas, Right this very minute,
Candles in the window, Carols at the spinet.
I thought how as the day had come Yes, we need a little Christmas, Right this very minute.
The belfries of all Christendom It hasn't snowed a single flurry, But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
Had roll'd along th' unbroken song
Of Peace on earth, good will to men. So climb down the chimney;
Turn on the brightest string of light I've ever seen.
And in despair, I bow'd my head: Slice up the fruitcake;
"There is no peace on earth," I said, It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.
"For hate is strong and mocks the song, For I've grown a little leaner, Grown a little colder,
Of Peace on earth, good will to men." Grown a little sadder, Grown a little older,
And I need a little angel Sitting on my shoulder,
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep; Need a little Christmas now.
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, For we need a little music, Need a little laughter,
With Peace on earth, good will to men." Need a little singing Ringing through the rafter,
And we need a little snappy, Happy ever after,
We Wish You A Merry Christmas Need a little Christmas now.

Do You Hear What I Hear?
O Holy Night
Said the night wind to the little lamb,
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining, "Do you see what I see?
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth. Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Do you see what I see?
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth. A star, a star, dancing in the night
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, With a tail as big as a kite,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. With a tail as big as a kite."
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born; Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
O night, O holy night, O night divine! "Do you hear what I hear?
O night, O holy night, O night divine! Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
Truly He taught us to love one another, A song, a song high above the trees
His law is love and His gospel is peace. With a voice as big as the the sea,
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother. With a voice as big as the the sea."
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name. "Do you know what I know?
Christ is the Lord! Oh praise his name for ever In your palace warm, mighty king,
His power and glory ever more proclaim! Do you know what I know?
His power and glory ever more proclaim! A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold."
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
Said the king to the people everywhere,
Go, Tell It On The Mountain, Over the hills and everywhere;
(Refrain) "Listen to what I say!
Go, Tell It On The Mountain That Jesus Christ is born Pray for peace, people, everywhere,
Listen to what I say!
While shepherds kept their watching Over silent flocks by night, The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
Behold throughout the heavens, There shone a holy light: (Refrain) He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light.
The shepherds feared and trembled When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus That hailed our Saviour's birth: (Refrain)

Silver Bells
There’s a New Kid in Town
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style
In the air There's a feeling of Christmas We're looking for the king, the new Messiah
Children laughing People passing We're following the star shining brighter.
Meeting smile after smile And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear "Old man, won't you help us if you can,"
He shook his head but he pointed his hand.
(REFRAIN) Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
There's a new kid in town,
Soon it will be Christmas day And he's lying in a manger down the road.
There's a new kid in town,
Strings of street lights Even stop lights But he's just another baby I suppose,
Blink a bright red and green Heaven knows,
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures There's a new kid in town,
Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch Here in Bethlehem.
This is Santa's big scene And above all this bustle
You'll hear (refrain) I see you've traveled far bearing treasure
You say these gifts are for the new King's pleasure
The Christmas Song I've heard that a king might come
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
But up till now there hasn't been one.
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
Gesu Bambino
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some
When blossoms flowered 'mid the snows upon a winter night
Mistletoe help to make the season bright
Was born the Child the Christmas Rose, The King of Love and Light
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
The angels sang, the shepherds sang, The grateful earth rejoiced
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
And at His blessed birth the stars Their exultation voiced.
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies
O Come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him
On his sleigh
O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
And ev'ry mother's
Child is gonna spy to see if
Again the heart with rapture glows to greet the holy night
Reindeer really know how to fly
that gave the world it's Christmas Rose, It's king of Love and Light
And so, I'm offering this
Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name, The grateful chorus swell
Simple phrase to kids from
From paradise to earth He came that we with Him might dwell
One to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times
O come let us adore him O come let us adore Him
Many ways; "Merry Christmas to you"
O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Silent Night
I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright Underneath the mistletoe last night.
Round yon virgin mother and child. She didn't see me creep
Holy infant so tender and mild, Down the stairs to have a peep;
Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace. She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep.
Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight, Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing alleluia; Oh, what a laugh it would have been
Christ the Savior, is born! If Daddy had only seen
Christ the Savior, is born! Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.
Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light. It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas
Radiant beams from thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming
grace, It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth. Ev'rywhere you go; Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth. again; With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Toys in ev'ry store, But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will
Joy to the World be On your own front door.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; Ev'rywhere you go;
Joy to the world! the Lord is come; Let earth receive her King; There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
Let every heart prepare Him room, and heaven and nature sing, The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
and heaven and nature sing, and heaven, and heaven and nature It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; Soon the bells will start,
sing. And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.
Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns; Let men their songs employ;
while fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains White Christmas
Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove Where the treetops glisten, and children listen
the glories of His righteousness, and wonders of His love, To hear sleigh bells in the snow
and wonders of His love, and wonders, wonders of His love. 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
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

Frosty the Snow Man It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold:
and two eyes made out of coal "Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven's all-gracious
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say King."
He was made of snow but the children The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing.
know how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found O ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low,
For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around Who toil along the climbing way, With painful steps and slow,
O Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be Look now! for glad and golden hours, Come swiftly on the wing;
And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing!
and me
Thumpetty thump thump; thumpety thump thump For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophets seen of old,
Look at Frosty go When with the ever-circling years, Shall come the time foretold,
Thumpetty thump thump; thumpety thump thump When peace shall over all the earth, Its ancient splendors fling,
Over the hills of snow And the whole world give back the song, Which now the angels sing.
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 O Little Town of Bethlehem
Running here and there all around the square saying Catch me if you
can O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see the lie!
He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by;
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler "Stop!" Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light;
For Frosty the snow man had to hurry on his way The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to-night.
But he waved goodbye saying "Don't you cry, I'll be back again some For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above,
day" While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love.
Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth!
Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth.
Over the hills of snow O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel!

Deck the Halls
Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer; had a very shiny nose. Tis the season to be jolly,
And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows. Fa la la la la, la la la la.
All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names. Don we now our gay apparel,
They never let poor Rudolf play in any reindeer games. Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: Fa la la la la, la la la la.
"Rudolf with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" See the blazing Yule before us,
Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee: Fa la la la la, la la la la.
"Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history!" Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry, While I tell of Yuletide treasure,
you better not pout, I'm telling you why: Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Santa Claus is coming to town! Fast away the old year passes,
He's making a list, He's checking it twice, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
gonna find out who's naughty or nice. Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Santa Claus is coming to town! Fa la la la la, la la la la.
He sees you when you're sleeping, Sing we joyous, all together,
he knows when you're awake. Fa la la la la, la la la la.
He knows when you've been bad or good, Heedless of the wind and weather,
so be good for goodness sake! Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Little tin horns, little toy drums. Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
Rudy-toot-toot and rummy tum tums. Over the fields we go, laughing all the way;
Santa Claus is coming to town. Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
The kids in Girl and boy land will have a jubilee. Chorus
They're gonna build a toy land town Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
all around the Christmas tree. O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Ohh....You better watch out, you better not cry. O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
You better not pout, I'm telling you why. A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
Santa Claus is coming to town. And soon Miss Fanny Bright, was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot;
Page 20 Page 9
He got into a drifted bank and we got upsot The First Noel
(Chorus)
A day or two ago, the story I must tell The first Noel, the angel did say,
I went out on the snow, and on my back I fell; Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
A gent was riding by, in a one-horse open sleigh In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
He laughed as there I sprawling lie but quickly drove away On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
(Chorus) Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.
Now the ground is white, go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song; They looked up and saw a star
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed Shining in the East, beyond them far;
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! you'll take the lead And to the earth it gave great light,
(Chorus) And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.
Jolly Old Saint Nicholas And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came from country far;
Jolly old Saint Nicholas, Lean your ear this way! To seek for a King was their intent,
Don't you tell a single soul What I'm going to say; And to follow the star wherever it went.
Christmas Eve is coming soon; Now, you dear old man, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.
Whisper what you'll bring to me; Tell me if you can.
This star drew night to the northwest,
When the clock is striking twelve, When I'm fast asleep, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
Down the chimney broad and black, With your pack you'll creep; And there it did both stop and stay,
All the stockings you will find Hanging in a row; Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Mine will be the shortest one, You'll be sure to know. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

What Child Is This? We Three Kings of Orient Are
What child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary's lap is sleeping? We three kings of Orient are
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
While shepherds watch are keeping? Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Following yonder star.
Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary. Chorus
O star of wonder, star of night,
Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Star with royal beauty bright,
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Westward leading, still proceeding,
This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary.
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, Gold I bring to crown Him again,
Come, peasant, king, to own him. King forever, ceasing never
the King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone him. Over us all to reign.
Raise, raise, the song on high, The Virgin sings her lullaby: (Chorus)
Joy, joy for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary!
Feliz Navidad

I'll be so blue thinking about you. Red striped candy, nut cracker handy. Kettle a-bubbleing hoiday tea.

Jingle bell time is a swell time
There'll be parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting and To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
caroling out in the snow. There'll be scary ghost stories and Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet

Sleigh Ride
Let It Snow!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, Ring ting tingle-ing too
But the fire is so delightful, Come on, it's lovely weather
And since we've no place to go, For a sleigh ride together with you
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn't show signs of stopping, Outside the snow is falling
And I brought some corn for popping; And friends are calling "You Hoo"
The lights are turned way down low, Come on, it's lovely weather
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. For a sleigh ride together with y1ou
When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm; Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap let's go
But if you really hold me tight, Let's look at the snow
All the way home I'll be warm. We're riding in a wonderland of snow
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing, Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
But as long as you love me so. Just holding your hand
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land
Rocking Around the Christmas Tree Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
Rocking around the Christmas tree We're snuggled up together like two
at the Christmas party hop Birds of a feather would be
Mistletoe hung where you can see
every couple tries to stop Let's take the road before us
Rocking around the Christmas tree, And sing a chorus or two
let the Christmas spirit ring Come on, it's lovely weather
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie For a sleigh ride together with you
and we'll do some caroling.
You will get a sentimental There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
feeling when you hear It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
Voices singing let's be jolly, We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
deck the halls with boughs of holly At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
Rocking around the Christmas tree, Pop! Pop! Pop!
have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
in the new old-fashioned way. When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives
