Mary’s Boy Child

Long time ago in Bethlehem So the Holy Bible say, Mary’s Boy Child, Jesus Christ, Was born on Christmas Day Hark, now hear the angels sing, A new King born today, And man will live for ever more, Because of Christmas Day Trumpets sound and angels sing Listen to what they say That man will live for ever more, Because of Christmas Day

While shepherds watched their flocks by night, They see a bright new shining star They hear a choir sing The music seemed to come from afar

Now Joseph and his wife Mary Came to Bethlehem that night, They found no place to bear her child, Not a single room was in sight.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, A new King born today, And man will live for ever more, Because of Christmas Day Trumpets sound and angels sing Listen to what they say That man will live for ever more, Because of Christmas Day

By and by they found a little nook In a stable all forlorn, And in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little boy was born. Long time ago in Bethlehem So the Holy Bible say, Mary’s Boy Child, Jesus Christ, Was born on Christmas Day

Hark, now hear the angels sing, A new King born today, And man will live for ever more, Because of Christmas Day Trumpets sound and angels sing Listen to what they say That man will live for ever more, Because of Christmas Day

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer

Rudolph 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 wouldn’t 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!”

Rocking around the Christmas Tree

Rocking around the Christmas tree At the Christmas party hop Mistletoe hung where you can see Ev’ry couple tries to stop Rocking around the Christmas tree, Let the Christmas spirit ring Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie And we’ll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental Feeling when you hear Voices singing let’s be jolly, Deck the halls with boughs of holly Rocking around the Christmas tree, Have a happy holiday Everyone dancing merrily In the new old-fashioned way.

I’m Dreaming of a 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.

Jingle-Bell Rock

Jingle-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 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 glidin' in a one-horse sleigh. Giddy-up jingle horse; pick up your feet; Jingle around the clock. Mix and mingle in a jinglin' beat; That's the jingle-bell rock.

When Santa got stuck up the chimney

When Santa got stuck up the chimney He began to shout You girls and boys won’t get any toys If you won’t pull me out. My beard is black There’s soot in my sack, My nose is tickling too When Santa got stuck up the chimney Atchoo, atchoo, atchoo

Silent Night

Silent night! Holy night! All is calm, all is bright, Round the Virgin Mother and child, Holy infant, so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night! Holy night! Guiding star; lend your light See the eastern wise men bring, Gifts and homage to our King Jesus Christ is here, Jesus Christ is here.

Silent night! Holy night! Wondrous star; lend your light; With the angels let us sing Hallelujahs to our King Jesus Christ is here, Jesus Christ is here.

Lullaby Carol

Little Jesus, sweetly sleep, do not stir; We will lend a coat of fur. We will rock you, rock you, rock you, We will rock you, rock you, rock you, See the fur to keep you warm Snugly 'round your tiny form.

Mary’s little baby, sleep, sweetly sleep, Sleep in comfort, slumber deep. We will rock you, rock you, rock you, We will rock you, rock you, rock you, We will serve you all we can, Darling, darling little man

Away in a Manger (Traditional version)

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 for ever, And love me, I pray, Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there.

Jingle Bells

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, O jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh!

Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go Laughing all the way. Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight. (repeat chorus)
