God Rest You Merry Gentlemen God rest you merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ our Saviour Was born on Christmas day, To save us all from Satan’s Pow’r, When we were gone astray. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. From God our heav’nly 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. 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.

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. Silent night! Holy night! Darkness flies, all is light! Shepherds hear the angels sing: “Hallelujah! Hail the King! Christ the Saviour is born! Christ the Saviour is born! Silent night! Holy night! Child of heav’n! O how bright Thou didst smile when Thou wast born! Blessed be that happy morn, Full of heavenly joy, Full of heavenly joy.

I Saw Three Ships I saw three ships come sailing in, On Christmas day, on Christmas day; I saw three ships come sailing in, On Christmas day in the morning.
Pray, wither sailed those ships all three, On Christmas day, on Christmas day; Pray, wither sailed those ships all three, On Christmas day in the morning. O they sailed into Bethlehem, On Christmas day, on Christmas day; O they sailed into Bethlehem, On Christmas day in the morning. And all the bells on earth shall ring, On Christmas day, on Christmas day; And all the bells on earth shall ring, On Christmas day in the morning.

In Excelsis Gloria When Christ was born of Mary free, In Bethlehem in that fair city; Angels sung e’er with mirth and glee, In excelsis gloria. Chorus: In excelsis gloria, In excelsis gloria, In excelsis gloria, In excelsis gloria. Herdmen beheld these angels bright— To them appeared with great light, And said, “God’s Son is born this night.” Chorus: This King is come to save His kind, In the Scriptures as we find; Therefore this song we have in mind: In excelsis gloria. Chorus: Then, dear Lord, for Thy great grace, Grant us the bliss to see Thy face, Where we may sing to Thy solace: In excelsis gloria.
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
Peppermint Punch ice cream 1 qt. peppermint 1 cup milk illed 2 L ginger ale, ch a punch bowl. Place ice cream in er ale, stirring Add milk and ging chilled until until frothy. Keep ready to serve.
It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold; “Peace on earth, good will to men, From heav’n’s all gracious King;” The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled; And still their heav’nly music floats O’er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hov’ring wing, And ever o’er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. For lo! The days are hast’ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the every circling years Shall come the time foretold, When the new heav’n and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

Have We Three Yourself a Kings of Merry Little Orient Are Christmas Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Let your heart be light. From now on, our troubles will be out of sight. Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yuletide gay, From now on, our troubles will be miles away. Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore, Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more. Through the years we all will be together, if the Fates allow; Hang a shining star upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
We three kings of Orient are, Bearing gifts we traverse afar; Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright; Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. 2. Melchior: Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain, Gold I bring, to crown Him again; King forever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright; Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. 3. Casper: Frankincense to offer have I, Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer and praising all men raising, Worship Him God most High. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright; Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. 4. Balthazar: Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume, Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright; Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light.

The Christmas Song Chestnuts roasting on an open fire; Jack Frost nipping at your nose; Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Ev’rybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright; Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Santa’s on his way, He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh; And ev’ry mother’s child is gonna spy, To see if reindeer really know how to fly. And so I’m offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two; Altho’ it’s been said many times, many ways, “Merry Christmas to you.”
A Holly Jolly Christmas
Have a holly jolly Christmas, it’s the best time of the year. I don’t know if there’ll be snow but have a cup of cheer. Have a holly jolly Christmas, and when you walk down the street Say hello to friends you know and everyone you meet. Oh, ho, the mistletoe hung where you can see. Somebody waits for you, kiss her once for me. Have a holly jolly Christmas, and in case you didn’t hear Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year.

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 they 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 wond’ring 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 in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel!

Christmas Tree (O Tannenbaum) Away in a Manger O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How steadfast are your branches!
Your boughs, so green in summer time, Do brave the snow of wintertime. O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, O tree of green, unchanging. O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You set my heart a-singing. Like little stars, your candles bright Send to the world a wondrous light. O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You set my heart-a-singing. O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You come from God, eternal. A symbol of the Lord of Love Whom God to man sent from above.
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 cradle ‘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.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You come from God, eternal. O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You speak of God unchanging. You tell us all to faithful be, And trust in God eternally. O Christmas tree.
Tis the Season to be Jolly! Enjoy the holidays with family & friends!

Frosty the Snowman
Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale, they say, He was made of snow but the children know How he came to life one day. There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head, He began to dance around. Oh, Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be. And the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Everywhere you go. Take a look in the five and ten, Glistenin’ once again, With candy canes and silver lanes aglow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Toys in every 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, Everywhere 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, Soon the bells will start. But the thing that will make them ring, Is the carol that you sing, Right within your heart.
Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer You know Dasher, and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen, But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all . . .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’d 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: Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, You’ll go down in history!

Good King Wenceslas Good King Wenceslas looked out On the feast of Stephen, When the snow lay ‘round about, Deep and crisp and even. Brightly shone the moon that night, Though the frost was cruel, When a poor man came in sight, Gathering winter fuel. “Hither, page, and stand by me, If thou know’st it telling, Yonder peasant who is he? Where and what his dwelling?” “Sire, he lives a good league hence, Underneath the mountain,
Right against the forest fence, By St. Agnes’ fountain!” “Bring me flesh, and bring me wine, Bring me pine logs hither; Thou and I will see him dine, When we bear them thither.” Page and monarch, forth they went, Forth they went together; Through the rude wind’s wild lament, And the bitter weather. “Sire, the night is darker now, And the winds blow stronger;
Fails my heart, I know not how; I can go no longer.” “Mark my footsteps my good page, Tread thou in them boldly: Thou shalt find the winter’s rage Freeze thy blood less coldly.” In his master’s steps he trod, Where the snow lay dinted; Heat was in the very sod Which the Saint had printed. Therefore, Christian men, be sure, Wealth or rank possessing, Ye who now will bless the poor, Shall yourselves find blessing.
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.

“All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good will henceforth, from heaven to men Begin, and never cease.”
As With Gladness
As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee.
As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heav’n and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy seat. Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide.
The First Noel The first Noel, the angels 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. 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. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. 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. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. Then entered in those Wisemen three, Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there in His presence, Their gold and myrrh, and frankincense Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

Winter Wonderland
Sleigh-bells ring, are you list’nin’? In the lane, snow is glist’nin’, A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland! Gone away is the blue-bird, Here to stay is a new bird, He sings a love song, as we go along. Walkin’ in a winter wonderland! In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown; He’ll say “Are your 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 made, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland!
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 comin’ to town. He’s making a list and checking it twice, Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice, Santa Claus is comin’ to town He sees you when you’re sleepin, He knows when you’re awake, He knows when you’ve been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake. Oh! You better watch out, You better not cry, Better not pout, I’m telling you why; Santa Claus is comin’ to town.
