O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
And drive away the shades of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone a-stray
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 Mar-y
Did nothing take in scorn
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
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
And no more walk in shadow
Your sins have been erased

Away In A Manger
01:25
|

Away in a manger, No crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus, Lay 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 a-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 bedside, '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 fit us for heaven, to live with thee there

Christmas lights are shining,
And I'm no longer pining for you
Those jingle bells are ringing,
But boy, I'm no longer singing for you
And I won't even ask,
Cause I really don't care anymore
If you miss me at all,
If you regret walking out that door
So Merry Christmas,
I really do not miss missing you
Oh yes, it's a Merry Christmas,
Now that you're no longer making me blue
All the families gather,
But now it don't really matter
That you don't come near
Cause I hear church bells ring,
Such a pretty delicate thing,
And it sounds a lot like freedom this year
And I won't even wonder,
If you're standing under the same snowfall
Cause I've let you go,
And just like all the snow,
You were never gonna stay for long

Angels we have on heard high
Sweetly singing ore 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 heavenly song?
Key Change!
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King

Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherds kept their watching o'er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens there shone a Holy Light.
The shepherds feared and trembled when lo! Above the earth,
Rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Savior’s birth.
Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born
And brought us God's salvation that blessed Christmas morn!

The Holly and the Ivy
01:56
|
|||
The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly wears the crown
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good
