O Little Town of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem, How silently, how silently How still we see thee lie! The wondrous gift is giv'n! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep So God imparts to human hearts The silent stars go by; The blessings of his heav'n. Yet in thy dark streets shineth No ear may hear his coming, The everlasting Light. But in this world of sin, The hopes and fears of all the years Where meek souls will receive Are met in thee tonight. him, still The dear Christ enters in. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, O holy Child of Bethlehem, And praises sing to God the King, Descend to us, we pray; And peace to men on earth! Cast out our sin and enter in, For Christ is born of Mary Be born in us today. And, gathered all above We hear the Christmas angels While mortals sleep, the angels keep The great glad tidings tell; Their watch of wond'ring love. O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel!

Silent Night O Come All Ye Faithful

Silent night, holy night! O come, all ye faithful, joyful and All is calm, all is bright. triumphant! Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child. O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem Holy infant so tender and mild, Come and behold Him Sleep in heavenly peace, Born the King of Angels Sleep in heavenly peace. O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him Silent night, holy night! O come, let us adore Him Shepherds quake at the sight. Christ the Lord! Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia, God of God, Light of Light Christ the Saviour is born, Lo, He abhors not the Virgin's womb Christ the Saviour is born! Very God Begotten, not created Silent night, holy night! O come, let us adore Him All is calm, all is bright. O come, let us adore Him Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child. O come, let us adore Him Holy infant so tender and mild, Christ the Lord! Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above! Glory to God All glory in the highest O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him Christ the Lord!

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning Jesus, to Thee be glory given Word of the Father Now in flesh appearing O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him Christ the Lord!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

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 "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You'll go down in history”
