Away in a Manger
CHRISTMAS LYRICS
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed.
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky look 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 cradle till morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care.
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there.
SILENT NIGHT
By Franz Gruber
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.

Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright;
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.
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.
Kanikani pele, kani kani pele, kani ma'o ma’a nei,
Le’ale’a makou I ka holo ana i ke ka’a hau lio ho’okahi.
Kanikani pele, kani kani pele, kani ma'o ma’a nei,
Le’ale’a makou I ka holo ana i ke ka’a hau lio ho’okahi.
Bells Are Ringing
By Susan Nipp
Bells are ringing, Bells are ringing, Baby Jesus born today, Bells are
ringing, Bells are ringing, Baby Jesus born today. Celebrate his birth
in Bethlehem, Celebrate his birth with joy, Bells are ringing, Bells
are ringing, Baby Jesus born today
RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shinny 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,
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer,
you’ll go down in history.

UP ON THE HOUSETOP
Up on the housetop, reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones, Christmas joys
Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click.
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick
WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year.
Chorus:
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin,
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We’d all like some cake and candy,
We’d all like some cake and candy,
We’d all like some cake and candy,
So bring it right here.
We won’t go until we get some,
We won’t go until we get some,
We won’t go until we get some,
With a smile of good cheer.
Chorus
White Christmas
Words and music by: Irving Berlin
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
just like the ones I used to know,
where the tree tops 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.

JOY TO THE WORLD
I.Watts, L.Mason. publ.1839
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!
Joy to the world, 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.
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove!
The glo-ries of His right-eous-ness
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, and wonders of His love!
SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN
(Coots / Gillespie)
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list and he's 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
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus,
Here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane.
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are pulling on the rein.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
Here comes Santa Claus,
Here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane.
He's got a bag that is filled with toys
for the boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed; cover up your head,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
S.Nelson, J.Rollins(c) 1950
Frosty the Snow Man
was a jolly happy soul,
With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the Snow Man
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 put it on his head
he began to dance around.
Oh, Frosty the Snow Man
was alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laugh and play
just the same as you and me.
Frosty the Snow Man knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun
now before I melt away."
Down to the village
with a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all around the square,
saying "Catch me if you can."
He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop,
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler, "Stop!"
Frosty the Snow Man had to hurry on his way,
But he waved good-bye, saying, "Don't you cry;
I'll be back again some day."
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.

O HOLY NIGHT
J.S.Dwight, A.C.Adam. 19thC
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees,
Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
ANGEL 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.
(Chorus:)
Glo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ria, In excelsis Deo.
Glo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ria, In excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be Which inspire your heav’nly song.
(Chorus)
Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing:
Come adore on bended knee, Christ, the Lord, the newborn King.
(Chorus)
FELIZ NAVIDAD
Chorus:
Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad, Prospero ano y felicidad.
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas,
With lots of presents to make you happy.
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart. (Chorus)
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas,
With mistletoe and lots of cheer,
With lots of laughter throughout the years
From the bottom of my heart. (Chorus)

SILVER BELLS
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style.
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, people passing,
Meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you hear:
(Chorus)
Silver bells, silver bells, it’s Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas Day.
Strings of street lights, even stop lights,
Blink a bright red and green,
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch,
This is Santa’s big scene,
And above all the bustle you hear:
(Chorus)
WINTER WONDERLAND
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane snow is glistening.
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight
Walking 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,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he is Parson Brown.
He’ll say “Are you married?” We’ll say “No man!”
But you can do the job when you’re in town.
Later on we’ll conspire, as we sit by the fire.
To face unfraid, the plans that we made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland.

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL
O come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem.
Come and behold, born the King of Angels
(Chorus)
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 exultation,
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above.
Glory to God in the highest glory. (Chorus)
Yea Lord we greet Thee, Born this happy morning
Jesus to Thee be all glory given,
Word of the Father now is flesh appearing. (Chorus)
THE FIRST NOEL
The first Noel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in field as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
(Chorus)
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. (Chorus)
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 that star wherever it went. (Chorus)
This star drew nigh to the north west,
O’er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay. (Chorus)
Then entered in those wise men three.
Full reverently upon the knee,
And offered there, in his presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. (Chorus)
