ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID’S CITY
Once in royal David’s city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little Child.
He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
For He is our childhood's pattern;
Day by day, like us, He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles, like us He knew;
And He cares when we are sad,
And he shares when we are glad.
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And He leads His children on,
To the place where He is gone.
O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
O 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
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to men on earth
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings 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 to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel
SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
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
So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
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
So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
WINTER WONDERLAND
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In 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 wonderland.
INSTRUMENTAL
In 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 other kids knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED THEIR FLOCKS
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around.
"Fear not," said he, (for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind);
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
"To you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
A Saviour who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign:
"The heavenly Babe You there shall find
To human view displayed,
And meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid.”
Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:
"All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace;
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease.
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 Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
Until 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 fit us to heaven
To live with Thee there
O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL
O Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him, Born the King of Angels;
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
God of God
Light of Light
Lo! He abhors not the virgin’s womb.
Very God begotten not created
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all citizens of heaven above.
Glory to God in the Highest;
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

Mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU
I don't want a lot for Christmas

Holding on to me so tight (Ooh)
What more can I do?
Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you
