Happy Birthday, Jesus
Katy got a dolly that cries and blinks its eyes; Jimmy got an automatic plane that really flies. But we were poor that Christmas, so Momma stayed up all night long, Sitting in the kitchen making us a present; it was this one:
Church bells ring a ling; angels sing a ling; "Happy Birthday, Jesus." Snowflakes ting a ling, sleigh bells jing a ling; "Happy Birthday, Jesus." All year long we wait just to celebrate this Christmas morn, 'Cause we want You to know we're so glad You were born. Oh, have a merry, very Happy Birthday, Jesus.
Teddy bears get broken, and trains will rust away; All the fancy playthings seem to fall apart one day. But I was very lucky, when ev'rybody's gift was gone, I still had my present; Momma's song of Christmas lived on and on;
Church bells ring a ling; angels sing a ling; "Happy Birthday, Jesus." Snowflakes ting a ling, sleigh bells jing a ling; "Happy Birthday, Jesus." All year long we wait just to celebrate this Christmas morn, 'Cause we want You to know we're so glad You were born. Oh, have a merry, very Happy Birthday, Jesus.
Christmas is for children, and now I have my own; Their eyes are full of wonder when all the toys are shown. But I'll give them something better than anything that's on TV, Something very special, something made forever, this melody:
Church bells ring a ling; angels sing a ling; "Happy Birthday, Jesus." Snowflakes ting a ling, sleigh bells jing a ling; "Happy Birthday, Jesus." All year long we wait just to celebrate this Christmas morn, 'Cause we want You to know we're so glad You were born. Oh, have a merry, very Happy Birthday, Jesus.

Happy Christmas
And so this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over, and a new one just begun; And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun, The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.
A very Merry Christmas, And a Happy New Year; Let's hope it's a good one, Without any fear.
And so this is Christmas, for weak and for strong, For rich and for poor ones, the war is so wrong. And so this is Christmas, for black and for white, For yellow and red ones, let's stop all the fight.
A very Merry Christmas, And a Happy New Year; Let's hope it's a good one, Without any fear.
So this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over, and a new one just begun. And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun, The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.

Hard Candy Christmas
Hey, maybe I'll dye my hair Maybe I'll move somewhere Maybe I'll get a car Maybe I'll drive so far they'll all lose track Me, I'll bounce right back Maybe I'll sleep real late Maybe I'll lose some weight Maybe I'll clear the junk Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine
Me, I'll be just fine and dandy, Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas I'm barely getting through tomorrow Still I won't let sorrow bring me way down

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 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 God head see; hail th'incarnate Deity. Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus our Emanuel. 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 the sons of earth, born to give them second birth. Hark, the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King.

Have 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. Christmas Carols & Songs H Compiled by Chester L.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, let your hearts 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, Will be 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.

He Smiles Within His Cradle
He smiles within his cradle, A babe with face to bright it beams most like a mirror Against a blaze of light: This babe so burning bright.
This babe we now declare to you Is Jesus Christ, our Lord; He brings both peace and heartiness: Haste, haste with one accord To feast with Christ our Lord.
And who would rock the cradle Wherein this infant lies, Must rock with easy motion And watch with humble eyes, Like Mary pure and wise.
O Jesus, dearest babe of all And dearest babe of mine, Thy love is great, thy limbs are small O flood this heart of mine With overflow from thine! Christmas Carols & Songs H Compiled by Chester L. Buffalo August 2009, September 2010 Page 11 of 20

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 reins. Bells are ringing, children singing, all is merry and bright. Hang your stocking 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's filled with toys for boys and girls again. Hear the sleigh bells jingle, jangle, what a beautiful sight. Jump in bed, cover up your head, 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here Is Joy For Every Age
Here is joy for every age, Every generation; Prince and peasant, chief and sage, Every tongue and nation: Every tongue and nation, Every rank and station Hath today salvation, Alle Alleluia.
When the world drew near its close, Came out Lord and Leader; From the Lily sprang the Rose, From the Bush the Cedar; From the Bush the Cedar, From the judged the Pleader, From the faint the Feeder: Alle Alleluia.
God, that came on earth this morn, In a manger lying, Hallowed birth by being born, Vanquished death by dying; Vanquished death by dying, Rallied back the flying, Ended sin and sighing: Alle Alleluia.

Here We Come A Wassailing [A Caroling]
Here we come a wassailing among the leaves so green, Here we come a wassailing so fair to be seen. Love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail too. And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year, And God send you a Happy New Year.
We are not daily beggars that beg from door to door, But we are neighbors' children whom you have seen before. Love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail too. And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year, And God send you a Happy New Year.
God bless the master of this house, likewise the mistress, too, And all the little children that 'round the table go. Love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail too. And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year, And God send you a Happy New Year.
[Alternate lyrics] Here we come a caroling among the leaves so green, Here we come a caroling so fair to be seen. Love and joy come to you, and to you glad Christmas too... Christmas Carols & Songs H Compiled by Chester L. Buffalo August 2009, September 2010 Page 15 of 20

The Holly And The Ivy
The holly and the ivy, when they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, the holly bears the crown. Oh the rising of the sun, and the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a blossom, as white as any flower, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, to be our sweet Saviour. Oh the rising of the sun, and the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a berry, as red as any blood, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, to do poor sinners good. Oh the rising of the sun, and the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a prickle, as sharp as any thorn, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, on Christmas day in the morn. Oh the rising of the sun, and the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir Christmas Carols & Songs H Compiled by Chester L.

How Do I Wrap My Heart Up for Christmas
Silver bells are ringing Pretty bows and ribbons Carolers are singing Don't fit the gift I'm givin' Snowflakes drifting Your lovin' ares will have to do... Through the air Everybody's shopping Got no time for stopping It looks like Christmas is here.
So tell me How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas I wanna give it to you Pretty bows and ribbons Don't fit the gift I'm givin' Your lovin' ares will have to do.
At first, I though of giving you A pretty diamond ring Wore myself out shopping For a million other things Finally decided On something you can't buy But how will I disguise it So you will be surprised.
How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas I wanna give it to you Pretty bows and ribbons Don't fit the gift I'm givin' Your lovin' ares will have to do.
A gift of love was given to The world so long ago Laying in a manger He was wrapped in swadlin' clothes And every year we celebrate And thank the Lord above And give to one another Our little gifts of love.
How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas I wanna give it to you Pretty bows and ribbons Don't fit the gift I'm givin' Your lovin' ares will have to do. Christmas Carols & Songs H Compiled by Chester L. Buffalo August 2009, September 2010 Page 19 of 20
The Huron Carol
'Twas in the moon of winter time When all the birds had fled, That mighty Gitchi Manitou Sent angel choirs instead; Before their light the stars grew dim, And wandering hunter heard the hymn: "Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria." Within a lodge of broken bark The tender Babe was found, A ragged robe of rabbit skin Enwrapp'd His beauty round; But as the hunter braves drew nigh, The angel song rang loud and high... Refrain O children of the forest free, O sons of Manitou, The Holy Child of earth and heaven Is born today for you. Come kneel before the radiant Boy Who brings you beauty, peace and joy. Refrain Christmas Carols & Songs H Compiled by Chester L. Buffalo August 2009, September 2010 Page 20 of 20
Hymn For Christmas Day
See amid the winter's snow, Born for us on earth below, See the tender Lamb appears, Promised from eternal years.
Chorus Hail, thou ever blessed morn! Hail, redemption's happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Lo, within a manger lies He who built the starry skies; He who throned in height sublime Sits amid the cherubim. Chorus
Say, ye holy shepherds, say What your joyful news today; Wherefore have ye left your sheep On the lonely mountain steep? Chorus
"As we watched at dead of night, Lo, we saw a wondrous light; [1] Angels singing peace on earth Told us of the Saviour's birth". Chorus
Sacred infant, all divine, What a tender love was thine, Thus to come from highest bliss Down to such a world as this. Chorus
Teach, O teach us , Holy Child, By Thy Face so meek and mild, Teach us to resemble Thee, In Thy Sweet humility! Chorus
