2. Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerRudolph 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!”

1. Jingle Bell RockJingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring Snowin’ and blowin’ up bushels of fun Now the jingle hop has begun Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time Dancin’ and prancing in Jingle Bell Square In the frosty airWhat a bright time, it’s the right time To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time To go glidin’ in a one-horse sleigh Giddy-up, jingle horse pick up your feet, Jingle around the clockMix and mingle in a jinglin’ beat, That’s the jingle bell rock [repeat verse]That’s the jingle bell, that’s the jingle bell, That’s the jingle bell rock.

3. The First NoelThe first Noel the angel 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 farAnd to Earth it gave great light

And so it continued both day and night. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel. And by the light of that same starThree wise men came from country far To seek for a King was their intent And to follow that star wherever it went. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel.

4. Feliz NavidadFeliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad Feliz Navidad, próspero año y felicidad [repeat]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. [repeat]

5. Joy to the WorldJoy to the world, the Lord is come! Let Earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven, and Heaven and nature sing. Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns!Let men their songs employ, While fields and floods, Rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, 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.

6. Santa Claus is Coming to TownOh! You better watch out, you better not cry, You better not pout, I’m telling you why: Santa Claus is coming to town!He’s making a list, checking it twice,

9. Winter WonderlandSleigh bells ring are you listening in the lane snow is glistening A beautiful sight we’re happy tonight walking in a winter wonderlandGone away is the bluebird here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song as we go along walking in a winter wonderlandIn the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He’ll say: Are you married? we’ll say: No man But you can do the job when you’re in town

Later on we’ll conspire as we dream by the fire To face unafraid the plans that we’ve made walking in a winter wonderlandIn the meadow we can build a snowman and pretend that he’s a circus clown We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman until the all the kids knock him downWhen it snows ain’t it thrilling Though your nose gets a chilling We’ll frolic and play the Eskimo waywalking in a winter wonderlandTo face unafraid the plans that we’ve made walking in a winter wonderland

10. O Little Town of BethlehemO little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by, Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years, Are met in thee tonight.How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessing of His Heaven.

No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him Still the dear Christ enters in.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.

16. Silent NightSilent 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 Saviour is born Christ, the Saviour is born.Silent night, Holy night Son of God, loves pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

17. Away in a MangerAway 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 Thee, 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 forever and love me, I pray Bless all the dear children in Your tender care And take us to Heaven, to live with Thee there.

18. Mary’s Boy ChildMary’s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day. And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said, Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king

was born today, And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day. Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.While shepherds watch their flocks by night, they see a bright new shining star,

they hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar.Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today, And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out there were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted “let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace”.Oh my Lord You sent your son to save us Oh my Lord Your very self you gave us Oh my Lord That sin may not enslave us And love may reign once moreOh my Lord when in the crib they found him Oh my Lord

A golden halo crowned him Oh my Lord They gathered all around him To see him and adore(This day will live forever) Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord) They had become to doubt you Oh my Lord (He is the truth forever) What did they know about you Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord) But they were lost without you They needed you so bad (His light is shining on us)Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord) with the child’s adoration Oh my lord (He is a personation) There came great jubilation Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord) And full of admiration They realized what they had (until the sun falls from the sky)

19. O Holy NightO Holy night, the stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining ‘Til He appeared and the soul felt it’s worth A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees O hear the angel voices O night divine! O night when Christ was born O night divine! O night, oh night divine!

Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains He shall break, for the slave is our brother. And in His Name, all oppression shall cease Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we Let all within us praise His holy name Christ is the Lord! Their name forever praise we Noel, Noel O night, O night divine Noel, Noel O night, O night divine Noel, Noel O holy night
