away in a manger
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 thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
until morning is nigh
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 fit us for Heaven
to live with thee there
And fit us for Heaven
to live with thee there
silent night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
joy to the world
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 Saviour reigns
Let saints their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
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, wonders, of His love!
Joy to the world, joy to the world
Joy to the world, joy to the world
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 a virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
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"
THE FIRST NOEL
The First Noël
The angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields as they
Lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
that was so deep
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël,
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël,
Born is the King of Israel
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven
And earth of nought
And with his blood
Mankind has bought
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
o come all ye faithful
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.
Sing, choirs of angels
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, 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 all 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.
mary's boy child
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A king was born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
While shepherds watch
their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing a song,
The music seemed to come from afar
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A king was born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day
For a moment the world was aglow
All the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter
People shouted, "Let everyone know,
there is hope for all to find peace"
Oh my Lord
You sent your son to save us
Oh my Lord
Your very self you gave us
Oh my Lord
That sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more
Oh my Lord
When in the crib they found him
Oh my Lord
A golden halo crowned him
Oh my Lord
They gathered all around him
To see him and adore
Oh my Lord
They had become to doubt you
Oh my Lord
What did they know about you?
Oh my Lord
But they were lost without you
They needed you so bad
Oh my Lord
With the child's adoration
Oh my Lord
There came great jubilation
Oh my Lord
And full of admiration
They realised what they had
FELIZ NAVIDAD
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Próspero año y felicidad
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart
jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin'
In Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse
Pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin'
In Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse
Pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock
