AWAY IN THE MANGER
Away in a manger, no crib for his 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 poor baby wakes but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes I love Thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky and stay by my side, 'Til 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 take us to heaven to live with thee there
AULD LANG SYNE Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne!
For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll take a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne.
And surely you'll be your pint stoup, And surely I'll be mine, And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne!

Pray you, dutifully prime Your matin chime, ye ringers, may you beautifully rime Your evetime song, ye singers. Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN
God rest ye merry, gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember, Christ, our Saviour Was born on Christmas day To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy.O tidings of comfort and joy In Bethlehem, in Israel, This blessed Babe was born And laid within a manger Upon this blessed morn The which His Mother Mary Did nothing take in scorn O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy From God our Heavenly Father A blessed Angel came; And unto certain Shepherds Brought tidings of the same: How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by Name. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy "Fear not then," said the Angel, "Let nothing you affright, This day is born a Saviour Of a pure Virgin bright, To free all those who trust in Him From Satan's power and might." O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm and wind: And went to Bethlehem straightway The Son of God to find. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy And when they came to Bethlehem Where our dear Saviour lay, They found Him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay; His Mother Mary kneeling down, Unto the Lord did pray. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace; This holy tide of Christmas All other doth deface. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy

JINGLE BELLS
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh, O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way bells on bob tails ring making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight
Oh, Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride, in a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, Jungle bells, Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh

LET IT SNOW Oh the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of Pauseping, And I've bought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight, How I'll hate going out in the storm! But if you'll really hold me tight, All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying, and, my dear, we're still good-bying, But as long as you love me so, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

WHITE CHRISTMAS
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'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 |
