Christmas Carols

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.

Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exhalation,
Sing, all ye citizens of Heav’n 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. 

Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be the glory giv’n;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing,
O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

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?

Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Silent Night

Silent 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
Heav’nly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born,
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth

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, ‘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

We Need a Little Christmas 

Haul out the holly
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Fill up the stocking,
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now

For we need a little Christmas, right this very minute
Candles in the window, carols at the spinet
Yes, we need a little Christmas, right this very minute
Hasn’t snowed a single flurry, but Santa dear we’re in a hurry

Climb down the chimney
Turn on the brightest string of lights I’ve ever seen
Slice up the fruit cake
It’s time we’ve hung some tinsel on the evergreen bough

For I’ve grown a little leaner, grown a little colder
Grown a little sadder, grown a little older
And I need a little angel sitting on my shoulder
Need a little Christmas now

For we need a little music, need a little laughter
Need a little singing ringing through the rafter
And we need a little snappy, happy ever after
We need a little Christmas now

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow, on 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, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

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 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, and 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;
Gonna find out, who’s naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming 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!

O! You better watch out! – You better not cry
Better not pout – I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! the herald angels sing, 
Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.

Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With the angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King! 

Christ, by highest heav’n adored:
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the Virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see;
Hail, the incarnate Deity:
Pleased, as man, with us to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King! 

Hail! the heav’n born Prince of Peace!
Hail! the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Ris’n with healing in his wings
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die:
Born to raise us from the earth,
Born to give us second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King!
