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 heaven 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 man to dwell; Jesus, our Emmanuel! Hark, the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King! Hail the Heaven-born Prince of Peace, Hail the Son of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings. Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark, the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King.
Deck the Halls Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la. See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Fast away the old year pass es, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Sing we joyous, all together, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; Toys in ev’ry store, But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be On your own front door.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing Right within your heart.

The First Noel
Joy to the World
The 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.
Joy 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.
Refrain Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East, beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. Refrain And by the light of that same star, Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. Refrain This star drew night to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest; And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. Refrain Then entered in those wise men three, Full reverently upon their knee; And offered there in his presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
Joy to the earth! the Savior 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. No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessing flow; far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as the curse is found. 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.

Do you hear what I hear?
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Said the night wind to the little lamb “Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky, little lamb Do you see what I see? A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite.”
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid And Donner and Blitzen. But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all?
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy “Do you hear what I hear? Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear? A song, a song high above the trees With a voice as big as the the sea With a voice as big as the the sea.” Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king “Do you know what I know? In your palace warm, mighty king Do you know what I know? A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring him silver and gold Let us bring him silver and gold.” Said the king to the people everywhere “Listen to what I say Pray for peace, people, everywhere Listen to what I say The Child, the Child sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light.”
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 as they shouted out with glee (yippee) “Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer you’ll go down in history.”
