HARK!

THE HERALD One seems to hear

Words of good cheer
Hark! the herald angels sing From everywhere
Glory to the new-born King Filling the air.
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled Oh how they pound,
Raising the sound,
Joyful, all ye nations, rise O'er hill and dale,
Join the triumph of the skies Telling their tale.
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem Gaily they ring
Hark! the herald angels sing While people sing
Glory to the new-born King Songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here.
Christ, by highest heaven adored
Christ, the everlasting Lord Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Late in time behold him come Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.
Offspring of the Virgin's womb
On on they send,
Hail the Flesh, the God Head see On without end,
Hail the incarnate Deity Their joyful tone
Pleased as man with man to dwell To every home.
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing Ding dong ding dong
Glory to the new-born King Ding dong ding dong

Hail the Heaven-born Prince of Peace Hark how the bells,

Hail the Son of Righteousness Sweet silver bells,
Light and life to all He brings All seem to say,
Risen with healing in His wings Throw cares away
(We will throw cares away)
Mild He lays His Glory by
Born that man no more may die Christmas is here,
Born to raise the sons of earth Bringing good cheer,
Born to give them second birth To young and old,
Hark! the herald angels sing Meek and the bold.
Glory to the new-born King (Bringing cheer to the young and old)
Oh how they pound,
Raising the sound,
CAROL OF THE BELLS O'er hill and dale,
Hark how the bells, Telling their tale.
Sweet silver bells, Gaily they ring
All seem to say, While people sing
Throw cares away Songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here, Christmas is here.
Bringing good cheer, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
To young and old, Merry Christmas
Meek and the bold. Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Ding dong ding dong Merry Christmas
That is their song On on they send,
With joyful ring On without end,
All caroling. Their joyful tone
To every home.

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa
Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer pullin'
on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin', all is merry
and bright
So hang your stockings and say your prayers
'cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa
Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
He's got a bag that's filled with toys for boys
and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, oh what a
beautiful sight
So jump in bed, and cover your head, 'cause
Santa Claus comes tonight
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa
Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
He'll come around when chimes ring out, it's
Christmas time again
Peace on earth will come to all, if we just
follow the light
So let's give thanks to the Lord above 'cause
Santa Claus comes tonight
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa
Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer pullin'
on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin', all is merry
and bright
So jump in bed, and cover your head, 'cause
Santa Claus comes tonight
Peace on earth will come to all, if we just
follow the light
So let's give thanks to the Lord above 'cause
Santa Claus comes tonight
So let's give thanks to the Lord above 'cause
Santa Claus comes tonight

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see, is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair of hop-along boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring, is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring, is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas
