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.

Grandma Bring the sleigh and harness ponies, & Grandpa Crack the whip and loudly. Shout 'heigh ho!' then away we'll go, Our ponies trotting proudly.

Russian Wrapped in furs, all snug and warm, Children: Now ev'rybody's cosy, Not a care, for the wintry air That makes our faces rosy.

Children: Swiftly, through the silent forest, Ponies trotting lightly, Watch us streak to the mountain peak, With sleigh bells jingling brightly.

All: High we'll fly to reach the sky, Where winter's moon is hiding, Up we'll go, o'er clouds of snow, Our sleigh forever riding.

Track 7: Huron Indian Carol

Narrators: 'Twas in the moon of wintertime When all the birds had fled, That mighty Gitche Manitou Sent choirs instead. Before their light the stars grew dim, And wond'ring hunters 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 Enwrapped his beauty round. And as the hunter braves drew nigh, The angel song rang loud and high: Jesus, your king, is born; Jesus is born! In excelsis gloria!

Ye children of the forest free, Ye 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: Jesus, your king, is born; Jesus is born! In excelsis gloria!

Track 8: The Search For Lodging

Joseph: Lodging, I beg you, good man, in the name of heaven! My wife is weary; says she can go no farther, Long have we travelled; Have mercy on us, good man! God will reward you if you will give shelter to her.

Innkeeper: There is no room in this place for any stranger. I do not know you; be gone! And all talking cease! I do not care if great distance you have come. All of your pleading is vain, So go away; let us have our peace!

Joseph: Listen, I beg you, for she is not a stranger. Her name is Mary, and she is the queen of heaven. My name is Joseph; we journeyed from Nazareth. She has been chosen by God To bear his son, the king of men!

Innkeeper: Pardon, good Joseph, for I did not know you. My house is honoured by you and the holy presence. Great is my joy, if you choose to rest here. Enter, I beg you, and bless this humble ; Bring it happiness.

Joseph: Enter, sweet Mary, for we now have found lodging. Here is a man who to us opens home and heart. To him and all who shall thus his son receive, God shall reward with great love. Happiness he gives shall ne'er depart!

Track 9: A Christmas Folk Song

All: Winds through the olive trees, softly did blow Round little Bethlehem long, long ago. Sheep on the hill-sides lay white as the snow Shepherds were watching them long, long ago.

Then from the happy skies, angels bent low Singing their songs of joy long, long ago. For in the manger bed, cradled we know, Christ came to Bethlehem long, long ago.

Track 10: Deck The Halls ()

Troll the ancient yuletide carol, Fa la la la la - la la - la la. Fa la la la la, fa la la la la Fa la la la la - la la - la la.
