Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever And love me I pray Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care And take us to heaven To live with Thee there ~ 4 ~ Angels 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. 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 and see Christ, 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 ~ 5 ~ A Child Is Born Now out of the One small heart night One pair of eyes New as the dawn One work of art into the light Here in my arms This child, Here he lies innocent child, Trusting and warm Soft as a fawn Blessed this morn. This child is born. A child is born Christmastime is here Christmastime is here, Happiness and cheer Fun for all that children call Their favorite time of the year Snowflakes in the air Carols everywhere Olden times and ancient rhymes Of love and dreams to share Sleigh bells in the air Beauty everywhere Yuletide by the fireside And joyful memories there Christmas time is here We'll be drawing near Oh, that we could always see Such spirit through the year Oh, that we could always see Such spirit through the year ~ 6 ~ Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping on your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, Help to make the season bright. Tiny tots with their eyes all a glow, Will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Santa's on his way; He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. And every mother's child is going to spy, To see if reindeer really know how to fly. And so I'm offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two, Although its been said many times, many ways, A very Merry Christmas to you ~ 7 ~ Deck the Halls Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la, Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la …. Troll the ancient Yule tide carol, Fa la la …. See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la …. Strike the harp and join the chorus. Fa la la …. Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la …. While I tell of Yule tide treasure, Fa la la …. Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la …. Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la …. Sing we joyous, all together, Fa la la …. Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la …. ~ 8 ~ Ding dong merrily on high Ding dong merrily on high, In heav'n the bells are ringing: Ding dong! verily the sky Is riv'n with angel singing. Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! E'en so here below, below, Let steeple bells be swungen, And "Io, io, io!" By priest and people sungen. Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! Pray you, dutifully prime Your matin chime, ye ringers; May you beautifully rhyme Your eventime song, ye singers. Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! ~ 9 ~ Do You Hear What I Hear? Said the night wind to the little lamb, Do you see what I see? (Echo: Do you see what I see?) Way up in the sky little lamb. Do you see what I see? (Echo: 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 Shepard boy, Do you hear what I hear? (Echo) Ringing through the sky Shepard boy, Do you hear what I hear? (Echo) A song, a song, High above the trees, With a voice as big as the sea, With a voice as big as the sea. ~ 10 ~ Said the Shepard boy to the mighty king, Do you know what I know? (Echo) In your palace wall mighty king, Do you know what I know? (Echo) 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. (Echo) Pray for peace, people everywhere Listen to what I say. (Echo) The child, the child, Sleeping in the night, He will bring us goodness and light, He will bring us goodness and light. He will bring us goodness and light. ~ 11 ~ The Little Drummer Boy 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. So to honor Him, Pa rum pum pum pum. When we come. Little baby, Pa rum pum pum pum. I am a poor boy too, Pa rum pum pum pum. I have no gift to bring, Pa rum pum pum pum. ~ 12 ~ That's fit to give our King, Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum. Shall I play for you, Pa rum pum pum pum? On my drum. Mary nodded, Pa rum pum pum pum. The ox and lamb kept time, Pa rum pum pum pum. I played my drum for Him, Pa rum pum pum pum. I played my best for Him, Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum. Then He smiled at me, Pa rum pum pum pum. Me and my drum. ~ 13 ~ Frosty the snowman Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corncob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the snowman 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 placed it on his head He began to dance around. O, Frosty the snowman Was alive as he could be, And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me. Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow. ~ 14 ~ Frosty the snowman 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!" For Frosty the snowman Had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye saying, "Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day." Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty
