Do You Hear What I Hear

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 walls, 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

Rudolf the Red Nose 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

Has a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it

You would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer's

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 all the reindeer loved him, As they shouted out with glee,

Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer You'll go down in history!

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Has a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it,

You would even say it glows, And all of the other reindeer's

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, Wont you guide my sleigh tonight?

Then all the reindeer loved him, As they shouted out with glee,

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, You'll go down in history!

Santa Claus Is Coming to Town

You better watch out You better not cry

Better not pout I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list And checking it twice;

He's gonna find out Who's naughty or nice


He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake!

You better watch out! You better not cry

You better not pout I'm telling you why


He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for everyone.

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN LYRICS

“Frosty the Snowman Was a jolly happy soul

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snowman Is a fairytale, they say

He was made of snow but the children know

How he came to life one day There must have been some magic

In that old silk they found For when they placed it on his head

He began to dance around

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

Oh 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 saying

Catch me if you can 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!"

For Frosty the snow man had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye saying Don't you cry

I'll be back again some day thumpity thump thump thumpity thump thump

Look at Frosty go thumpity thump thump thumpity thump thump Over the hills of snow”

Feliz Navidad

(Merry Christmas in Spanish) (Prospero anoy Felicidad means prosperous year and happiness)

Feliz Navidad. Feliz Navidad. Feliz Navidad. Prospero Anoy Felicidad.


I want to wish you a Merry Christmas. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas,

From the bottom of my heart.



I want to wish you a Merry Christmas. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas,

From the bottom of my heart.

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 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 you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in your tender care, And fit us for heaven, to live with you there

7

Hush, Hear The Angels Sing

A long time ago in a manger bed, A tiny baby laid down his sweet head.

That one special star did shine down where he lay, The little baby sound asleep on the hay.

Hush! See the baby awake. Hush! No crying He makes. Hush! Hear the angels sing,

All glory and praise to the newborn King.

The shepherd all gathered ‘round the baby boy, To celebrate and bring praises and joy.

And wise men brought gifts for Him flowing with love, In honour of the baby sent from above.

Hush! See the baby awake Hush! No crying He makes. Hush! Hear the angels sing.

All glory and praise, let all voices raise, All glory and praise to the newborn King. All glory and praise to the newborn King.

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle Bell, Jingle bell Jingle bell rock

Jingle bell swing and jingle bells ring Snowin and blowin’ Up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun


Jingle bell chimes in Jingle bell time

Dancin and prancin’ In jingle bell square

In the frosty air

What a bright time It’s the right time

To rock the night away Jingle Bell time Is a swell time

To go ridin’ on a one horse sleigh

Giddy up, jiggle horse Pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and mingle In a jinglin’ beat

That’s the jingle bell rock


Jingle bell chimes in Jingle bell time

Dancin and prancin’ In jingle bell square

In the frosty air

What a bright time It’s the right time

To rock the night away Jingle Bell time Is a swell time

To go ridin’ on a one horse sleigh

Giddy up, jiggle horse Pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock Mix and mingle In a jinglin’ beat

That’s the jingle bell rock

Rockin Around The Christmas Tree

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop,

Mistletoe hung where you can see,

Every couple tries to stop,

Rockin' around the Christmas tree,

Let the Christmas spirit ring,

Later we'll have some pumpkin pie,

And we'll do some carolling.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,

Voices singing, "Let's be jolly,

Deck the halls with boughs of holly",


Have a happy holiday,

Everyone dancin' merrily,

In the new old-fashioned way.

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,

Voices singing, "Let's be jolly,

Deck the halls with boughs of holly",


Have a happy holiday,

Everyone dancin' merrily,

In the new old-fashioned way

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus

Underneath the mistletoe last night

She didn't see me creep

Down the stairs to have a peep

She thought that I was tucked up

In my bedroom, fast asleep

Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus

Underneath his beard so snowy white

Oh, what a laugh it would have been

If Daddy only could have seen

Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus

Underneath his beard so snowy white

Oh, what a laugh it would have been

If daddy only could have seen

Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

When A Child Is Born

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

A ray of hope flickers in the sky A tiny star lights up way up high

All across the land dawns a brand new morn This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas

The winds of change whisper in the trees And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn

This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around You've got the feel you're on solid ground

For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn This comes to pass when a child is born

And all of this happened Because the world is waiting

Waiting for one child Black, white, yellow, no one knows

But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter Hate to love, war to peace

And everyone to everyone's neighbor Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

(Chaldean) Laylet eed laylet eed Laylee, laylet eed.

Zenow nas, Sawt ejvas am betran be-eed Zenow nas, Sawt ejvas am betran be-eed

(English)

Dashing through the snow In a one hourse open sleigh

Over the fields we go Laughing all the way Ha ha ha

Bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight

(Vietnamese) Chuông vang vang, Chuông vang vang, chuông giáo đuờng ấm cúng

Chuông thanh thanh, Chuông thanh thanh, tiếng xe chuông chạy nhanh, hứ! Chuông vang vang, Chuông vang vang, chuông báo mừng đêm Thánh. Chuông ngân ngân, Chuông ngân ngân, tiếng chuông trong tim mình

It is to ride In a one-house open sleigh

13

Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o’er the plains,

And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains.

Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heav’nly song?


Come to Bethlehem and see

Him Whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee,

Christ the Lord, the newborn King.


See Him in a manger laid,

Whom the choirs of angels praise; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,

While our hearts in love we raise.

It's all a dream and illusion now It must come true, sometimes soon somehow All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born

14

Christmas Day

Snow covered rooftops Lights on the trees

The sound of singing I hear down every street

Families have gathered From miles away

Oh, Merry Christmas It's Christmas day

You see that old tree Down Cotton Lane

Those lights keep shining It's always the same

We hear the church bells Ring out to say



Swing the lights and hang the stockings

Decorate with green and red Made the cookies for old Santa

Made a runway for his sled

Singing carols on a sleigh ride Gather 'round the manger scene Open presents, read the letter

And together we will sing

Oh, Merry Christmas Joy to the world For every nation

For every boy and girl

Let's light a candle For peace we pray

Oh, Merry Christmas It's Christmas day It's Christmas day It's Christmas day

Let's light a candle For peace we pray



15

The Prayer

I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go

And help us to be wise, in times when we don't know.

Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way.

Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace

To a place where we'll be safe.

La luce che tu dai I pray we'll find your light

Nel cuore resterà And hold it in our hearts

A ricordarci che When stars go out each night

L'eterna stella sei

Nella mia preghiera Let this be our prayer

Quanta fede c'è When shadows fill our day.

Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace.

Give us faith so we'll be safe.

Sogniamo un mondo senza più

violenza Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza

Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino Simbolo di pace, di fraternità.

La forza che ci dà

We ask that life be kind È il desiderio che

And watch us from above Ognuno trovi amore

We hope each soul will find Intorno e dentro a sé Another soul to love.

Let this be our prayer Just like every child

Need to find a place, Guide us with your grace.

Give us faith so we'll be safe.

È la fede che Hai acceso in noi

Sento che ci salverà. Salverà.

White Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, Just like the ones I used to know,

Where those treetops glisten, and children listen, To hear sleigh bells in the snow, snow.

So then, I-I-I-I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,

With every Christmas card I write, May your days, may your days, may your days be merry and bright,

And may all your Christmases be white.

I-I-I-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.

I-I-I-I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,

With every Christmas card I write, May your days, may your days, may your days be merry and bright,

And may all your Christmases be white. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells all the way ooo

All I Want For Christmas Is You

I don't want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true oh All I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need, and I

Don't care about the presents Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy With a toy on Christmas day


Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is you

I won't ask for much this Christmas I won't even wish for snow, and I

I just wanna keep on waiting Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake To hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do Oh, Baby all I want for Christmas is

you

All the lights are shining So brightly everywhere

And the sound of children's Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa won't you bring me The one I really need

Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly

I don't want a lot for Christmas This is all I'm asking for

I just wanna see my baby Standing right outside my door


Make my wish come true Baby all I want for Christmas is you

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

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!

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!

Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord

That hath made Heaven and earth of naught And with his blood mankind hath bought

Noel Noel Noel Noel Born is the King of Israel!

Noel Noel Noel Noel

Born is the King Born is the King

Born is the King of Israel!

Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)

The snow's coming down I'm watching it fall

Lots of people around Baby please come home

The church bells in town

All ringing in song Full of happy sounds

Baby please come home

[Chorus:] They're singing "Deck The Halls" But it's not like Christmas at all

'Cause I remember when you were here And all the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree I'm watching them shine

You should be here with me Baby please come home

If there was a way

I'd hold back this tear But it's Christmas day

Please please please please Baby please come home Baby please come home Baby please come home Baby please come home

21

Thankful

Some days, we forget to look around us, Some days, we can’t see the joy that surrounds us,

So caught up inside ourselves, We take when we should give,

So for tonight we pray for, What we still can’t see,

It’s up to us, to be the change, And even thought we all can still do more,

There’s so much to be thankful for, Look beyond ourselves, There’s so much sorrow,

It’s way too late to say, ill cry tomorrow Each of us must find our truth,

It’s so long overdue, So for tonight we pray for,

What we know can be,

And every day, we hope for, What we still can’t see,

It’s up to us, to be the change, And even though we all can still do more,

There’s so much to be thankful for, Even with our differences,

There is a place we’re all connected, Each of us can find each other’s light,

So for tonight, we pray for What we know can be,

And on this day, we hope for, What we still can’t see,

It’s up to us, to be the change, And even though this world needs so much more

There’s so much to be thankful for.

22

O Holy Night

O Hold nigh! The stars are brightly shinning

It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth! Long lay the world in sin and error pinning Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices

Oh night divine Oh night when Chris was born

Oh night divine Oh 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 come the wise men from Orient land The King of Kiings lay thus in a lowly manger

In all our trials born to be our friend

Truly he taught us to love one another His law is love and his gospel is peace

Chans shall he break for the slave is our brother And in his name all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in a grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise his holy name

23

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Oh yeah, mmm Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light From now on your troubles will be out of sight, yeah

Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yuletide gay

From now on your troubles will be miles away, oh Here we are as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore, ah Faithful friends who are dear to us

They gather near to us once more, ooh Through the years we all will be together and

If the fates allow, oh yeah But 'til then we'll have to muddle through somehow, oh yeah, oh, oh

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now, ooh yeah, oh, ooh

24

My Grown Up Christmas List

Do you remember me I sat upon your knee

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

Well I'm all grown-up now And still need help somehow

I'm not a child But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish

My grown-up Christmas list Not for myself

But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts Everyone would have a friend

And right would always win And love would never end

This is my grown-up Christmas list

Well heaven surely knows That packages and bows

Can never heal a hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts Everyone would have a friend

And right would always win And love would never end

This is my grown-up Christmas list
