O Holy Night Words and Music: Public Domain

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 appear'd 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, Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born, Oh night divine, Oh night, oh night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand! So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here come the wise men from orient land! The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger, In all our trials born to be our friend,

Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace! Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother, And in His name all oppression shall cease! Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise His holy name,

Hark the Herald Angels Sing Words and Music: Public Domain

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 heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold him come, Offspring of a virgin's womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; Hail, the incarnate deity, Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel! Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King.

Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace! Hail the Sun of righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the suns of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King.

What Child is This? Words and Music: Public Domain

What child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The babe, the son of Mary.

Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and donkeys are feeding? Good Christians, fear, for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Nails, spears shall pierce him through, the cross he bore for me, for you. Hail, hail the Word made flesh, the Babe, the Son of Mary.

So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come, peasant, king, to own him. The King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone him. Raise, raise a song on high, The virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born, The babe, the Son of Mary.

Mary did you know, that your baby boy, Would one day walk on water? Mary did you know, that your baby boy, Would save our sons and daughters? Did you know, that your baby boy, Has come to make you new? This Child that you delivered, Will soon deliver you!

Mary did you know, that your baby boy Will give sight to the blind man? Mary did you know, that your baby boy Would calm a storm with His hand? Did you know, that your baby boy Has walked where angels trod, And when you kiss your little baby, You've kissed the face of God?

The blind will see, the deaf will hear, The dead will live again, The lame will leap, the dumb will speak Praises of the Lamb?

Mary did you know, that your baby boy Is Lord of all creation? Mary did you know, that your baby boy Will one day rule the nations? Did you know, that your baby boy Was Heaven's perfect Lamb? This sleeping Child you're holding, Is the Great I Am!

We Three Kings of Orient Are Words and Music: Public Domain

We three kings of Orient are O star of wonder, star of night, Bearing gifts we traverse afar. Star with royal beauty bright, Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Westward leading, still proceeding, Following yonder star. Guide us to thy perfect light.

O star of wonder, star of night, Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume Star with royal beauty bright, Breaths a life of gathering gloom. Westward leading, still proceeding, Sorrow, sighing, bleeding, dying, Guide us to thy perfect light. Sealed in a stone-cold tomb.

Born a king on Bethlehem's plain, O star of wonder, star of night, Gold I bring to crown Him again, Star with royal beauty bright, King forever, ceasing never Westward leading, still proceeding, Over us all to reign. Guide us to thy perfect light.

O star of wonder, star of night, Glorious now behold Him arise, Star with royal beauty bright, King and God and Sacrifice. Westward leading, still proceeding, Alleluia, alleluia! Guide us to thy perfect light. Earth to heav'n replies.

Frankincense to offer have I. O star of wonder, star of night, Incense owns a Deity nigh. Star with royal beauty bright, Prayer and praising all men raising, Westward leading, still proceeding, Worship Him, God on high. Following yonder star.

Go Tell It on the Mountain Words and Music: Public Domain

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, Over 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 the Savior’s birth

Down in a lowly manger, The humble Christ was born. And God sent us salvation That blessed Christmas morn.

White Christmas © 1942 Berlin Irving Music Co. | Words and Music by Irving Berlin

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, Just like the ones I used to know, Where the treetops 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.

10

Jingle Bells Words and Music: Public Domain

Dashing through the snow, In a one horse open sleigh, O'er the fields we go, Laughing all the way! Bells on bob-tails ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight!

Oh, 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!

A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride, And soon Miss Fanny Bright, Was seated by my side. The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seemed his lot, We got into a drifted bank And there we got upsot.

Little Drummer Boy © 1941 EMI Mills Music, Inc. | Words and Music by Harry Simeone, K.K. Davis, and Henry Onorati

Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum! A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum! Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum! To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum!

O Come O Come Emmanuel Words and Music: Public Domain

O come, O come, Emmanuel, O come, Thou Day-spring, come and And ransom captive Israel! cheer, That mourns in lonely exile here, Our spirits by Thine advent here! Until the Son of God appear. Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death’s dark shadows put to flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, O King of nations, bind, O come, Thou Wisdom from on high, In one the hearts of all mankind! Who orderest all things mightily! Bid all our sad divisions cease, To us the path of knowledge show, And be yourself our King of Peace. And teach us in her ways to go.

13

Away in a Manger Words and Music: Public Domain

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked 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 you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay, Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in your tender care, And fit us for heaven, to live with you there.

Silver Bells © 1950 Sony ATV Harmony | Words and Music by Jay Livingston, Ray Evans

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'll hear:

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 this bustle, you'll hear:

15

Frosty the Snowman © 1950 Anne Rachel Music Corp. | Words and Music by: Walter Rollins and Steve Nelson

Frosty the snowman Thumpity, thump, thump! Was a jolly happy soul! Thumpity, thump, thump, With a corncob pipe, Look at Frosty go! And a button nose, Thumpity, thump, thump! And two eyes made out of coal. Thumpity, thump, thump, Over the hills of snow! Frosty the snowman Is a fairy tale they say! Frosty the snowman He was made of snow, Knew the sun was hot that day! But the children know, So he said, ‘Let's run, How he came to life one day. And we'll have some fun, Now before I melt away!’ There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found. Down to the village, For when they placed it on his head, With a broomstick in his hand, He began to dance around! Running here and there, All around the square, Frosty the snowman Saying, ‘Catch me if you can!’ Was alive as he could be! And the children say, He led them down the streets of town, He could laugh and play, Right to the traffic cop. Just the same as you and me. And he only paused a moment when He heard him holler, "Stop!"

For Frosty the snow man Had to hurry on his way! But he waved goodbye Saying, ‘Don't you cry! I'll be back again some day!’

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear Words and Music: Public Domain

It came upon a midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven'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 heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains, They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds, The blessed angels sing.

And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! For glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing. O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing!

For lo! The days are hastening on, By prophet seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold: When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song, Which now the angels sing! 17

O Little Town of Bethlehem Words and Music: Public Domain

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie, Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by. Yet in thy 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 wondering love. Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth, And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie, Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light, The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

18

O Come All Ye Faithful Words and Music: Public Domain

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant! O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem! Come and behold him, born the King of angels;

O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord!

True God of True God, Light from Light eternal, Lo, he abhors not the virgin’s womb; Son of the Father, begotten, not created;

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation, sing, all ye citizens of heaven above: “Glory to God, all glory in the highest!”

Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning; Jesus, to thee be all glory given; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;

19

Angels We Have Heard on High Words and Music: Public Domain

Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o'er 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?

Come to Bethlehem to see, Him whose birth the angels sing! Come adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord the newborn King!

See him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise! Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise!

20

The First Noel

The First Noel, the Angels did say, And by the light of that same star, Was to certain poor shepherds Three Wise men came from country far. In fields as they lay. To seek for a King was their intent, In fields where they And to follow the star wherever it went. Lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night This star drew nigh to the northwest, That was so deep. O'er Bethlehem it took its rest. And there it did both pause and stay, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Right o'er the place where Jesus lay. Born is the King of Israel! Then entered in those Wise men three, They looked up and saw a star, Full reverently upon their knee. Shining in the East beyond them far. And offered there in His presence, And to the earth it gave great light, Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. And so it continued both day and night. Then let us all with one accord, Sing praises to our heavenly Lord. That hath made Heaven and earth of naught, And with his blood mankind has bought.

21

Joy to the World Words and Music: Public Domain

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.

No more let sins and sorrows grow! Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow, Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove: The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, and wonders, of His love.

22

Deck the Halls Words and Music: Public Domain

Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la, la la la la! While I tell of Yule tide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la!

Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la, la la la la! Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la, la la la la!

Sing we joyous, all together, Fa la la la la, la la la la! Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la, la la la la!

Winter Wonderland © 1934 W.B. Music Corp. | Words by: Richard B. Smith, Music by: Felix Barnard

Sleigh bells ring, Later on, we'll conspire. Are you listening? As we dream, by the fire, In the lane, To face unafraid, Snow is glistening. The plans that we've made, A beautiful sight, Walking in a winter wonderland. We're happy tonight Walking in a winter wonderland Gone away, is the blue bird. Here to stay, is the new bird. Gone away, is the blue bird. He sings a love a song, Here to stay, is the new bird. As we go along, He sings a love song, Walking in a winter wonderland. As we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow, We can build a snowman, In the meadow, And pretend that he's a circus clown. We can build a snowman. We'll have lots of fun And pretend that he is Parson Brown. With Mr. Snowman, He'll say, ‘Are you married?’ Until the other kiddies We'll say, ‘No man!’ Knock them down. But you can do the job When you're in town. When it snows, ain't it thrilling! Though your nose, gets a chilling, We'll frolic and play, The Eskimo way, Walking in a winter wonderland, Walking in a winter wonderland.

Do You Hear What I Hear? © 1962 Jewel Music Publishing Co. Inc. | Words and Music by Gloria Shayne Baker and Noël Regney

Said the night wind to the little lamb, "Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky, little lamb, Do you see what I see? A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite, With a tail as big as a kite."

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, "Do you hear what I hear? Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, Do you hear what I hear? A song, a song high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea, With a voice as big as the sea."

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, "Do you know what I know? In your palace walls, mighty king, Do you know what I know? A Child, a Child shivers in the cold-- Let us bring him silver and gold, Let us bring him silver and gold."

Said the king to the people everywhere, "Listen to what I say! Pray for peace, people, everywhere, Listen to what I say! The Child, the Child sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light, He will bring us goodness and light.”

All Your works with joy surround You, Earth and heav'n reflect Your rays, Stars and angels sing around You, Center of unbroken praise; Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flow'ry meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain Praising You eternally!

Always giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest, Well-spring of the joy of living, Ocean-depth of happy rest! Loving Father, Christ our Brother, Let Your light upon us shine; Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine.

Mortals, join the mighty chorus, Which the morning stars began; God's own love is reigning o’er us, Joining people hand in hand! Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife; Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life. 27

You know Dasher and Dancer And Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid And Donner and Blitzen, But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all?

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say, “Rudolph with your nose so bright, Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then how all the reindeer loved him, As they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nose Reindeer You'll go down in history!

Good King Wenceslas Words and Music: Public Domain

Good King Wenceslas looked out Bring me flesh, and bring me wine, On the feast of Stephen, Bring me pine logs hither, When the snow lay round about, Thou and I will see him dine, Deep and crisp and even. When we bear them thither. Brightly shown the moon that night, Page and monarch, forth they went, Though the frost was cruel, Forth they went together, When a poor man came in sight, Through the rude wind's wild lament, Gathering winter fuel. And the bitter weather.

Hither, page, and stand by me, Sire, the night is darker now, If thou know’st it telling: And the wind blows stronger. Yonder peasant, who is he? Fails my heart, I know not how - Where and what his dwelling? I can go no longer. Sire, he lives a good league hence, Mark my footsteps good, my page, Underneath the mountain, Tread thou in them boldly: Right against the forest fence Thou shalt find the winter's rage, By Saint Agnes’ fountain. 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.

You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch © 1966 Dr. Seuss Enterprises and EMI Robbins Catalog, Inc. | Words by T.G. Seuss, Music by Albert Hague

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch, You really are a heel! You're as cuddly as a cactus, You're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch. You're a bad banana With a greasy black peel!

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch. Your heart's an empty hole! Your brain is full of spiders, You've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch. I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch, You have termites in your smile! You have all the tender sweetness, Of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch. Given the choice between the two of you, I'd take the seasick crocodile!

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch. You're a nasty wasty skunk! Your heart is full of unwashed socks, Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch. The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote: "Stink! Stank! Stunk!"

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas © 1964 St. Nicholas Music, Inc. | Words and Music by Johnny Marks

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 Is 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!

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! © 1945 Cahn Music Co. and Producers Music Publishing Co. Inc. | Words and Music by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful. And since we've no place to go, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Oh, it doesn't show signs of stopping, And I've brought some corn for popping. The lights are turned way down low, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight, How I'll hate going out in the storm! But, if you really hold me tight, All the way home I'll be warm!

The fire is slowly dying, And my dear, we're still good-by-ing. But, as long as you love me so, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Blue Christmas © 1957 Judy J. Olmsted Trust & Universal Polygram International Publishing, Inc. | Words and Music by Billy Hayes & Jay W. Johnson.

I’ll have a blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue just thinking about you Decorations of red, on a green Christmas tree Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me.

And when those blue snowflakes start falling, That's when those blue memories start calling, you'll be doing all right, with your Christmas of white, But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.

You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.

Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus Words and Music: Public Domain

Come, Thou long expected Jesus, born to set Thy people free; From our fears and sins release us, let us find our rest in Thee. Israel's strength and consolation, hope of all the earth Thou art; Dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart.

Born Thy people to deliver, born a child and yet a King, Born to reign in us forever, now Thy gracious Kingdom bring. By Thine own eternal Spirit rule in all our hearts alone; By Thine all sufficient merit, raise us to Thy glorious throne.

Marshmallow World © 1949 and Peter DeRose. Hal Leonard Corporation (O/B/O Sony Music)/Music Sales Corp./Music Sales Corporation/Music Sales Corporation/Shapiro & Bernstein/Shapiro Bernstein & Co.

It’s a marshmallow world in the winter When the snow comes to cover the ground It’s the time for play, it’s a whipped cream day I wait for it all year round

Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly In the arms of the evergreen trees And the sun is red like a pumpkin head It’s shining so your nose won’t freeze

The world is your snowball, see how it grows. That’s how it goes whenever it snows. The world is your snowball just for a song, Get out and roll it along!

It’s a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts Take a walk with your favorite girl. It’s a sugar date, what if spring is late In winter, it’s a marshmallow world!

Angels From the Realms of Glory Words and Music: Public Domain

Angels from the realms of glory Wing your flight o’er all the earth Ye who sang creation’s story Now proclaim Messiah’s birth

Come and worship Come and worship Worship Christ the newborn King!

Shepherds in the field abiding Watching o’er your flocks by night God with man is now residing Yonder shines the infant light

Sages, leave your contemplations Brighter visions beam afar Seek the great desire of nations Ye have seen His natal star

Saints before the altar bending Watching long in hope and fear Suddenly the Lord descending In His temple shall appear
