Mary’s Boy Child
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say,
Mary’s Boy Child, Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A new King born today,
And man will live for ever more,
Because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for ever more,
Because of Christmas Day
While shepherds watched
their flocks by night,
They see a bright new
shining star
They hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come
from afar
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night,
They found no place to bear
her child,
Not a single room was in sight.
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A new King born today,
And man will live for ever more,
Because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for ever more,
Because of Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A new King born today,
And man will live for ever more,
Because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for ever more,
Because of Christmas Day
By and by they found a little
nook
In a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and
dark,
Mary's little boy was born.
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say,
Mary’s Boy Child, Jesus
Christ,
Was born on Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A new King born today,
And man will live for ever more,
Because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for ever more,
Because of Christmas Day
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 wouldn’t 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!”
Rocking around the
Christmas Tree
Rocking around the Christmas
tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can
see
Ev’ry couple tries to stop
Rocking around the Christmas
tree,
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll have some pumpkin
pie
And we’ll do some caroling.
You will get a sentimental
Feeling when you hear
Voices singing let’s be jolly,
Deck the halls with boughs of
holly
Rocking around the Christmas
tree,
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old-fashioned way.
I’m Dreaming of
a White Christmas
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.
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 mingle in a jinglin' beat;
That's the 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 mingle in a jinglin' beat;
That's the jingle-bell
That's the jingle-bell
That's the jingle-bell rock.
When Santa got stuck
up the chimney
When Santa got stuck up the
chimney
He began to shout
You girls and boys won’t get
any toys
If you won’t pull me out.
My beard is black
There’s soot in my sack,
My nose is tickling too
When Santa got stuck up the
chimney
Atchoo, atchoo, atchoo
Silent Night
Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright,
Round the Virgin Mother and
child,
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night! Holy night!
Guiding star; lend your light
See the eastern wise men
bring,
Gifts and homage to our King
Jesus Christ is here,
Jesus Christ is here.
Silent night! Holy night!
Wondrous star; lend your light;
With the angels let us sing
Hallelujahs to our King
Jesus Christ is here,
Jesus Christ is here.
Lullaby Carol
Little Jesus, sweetly sleep,
do not stir;
We will lend a coat of fur.
We will rock you, rock you,
rock you,
We will rock you, rock you,
rock you,
See the fur to keep you warm
Snugly 'round your tiny form.
Mary’s little baby, sleep,
sweetly sleep,
Sleep in comfort, slumber deep.
We will rock you, rock you,
rock you,
We will rock you, rock you,
rock you,
We will serve you all we can,
Darling, darling little man
Away in a Manger
(Traditional version)
Away in a manger, no crib for a
bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down
His sweet head.
The stars in the bright 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 side until
morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus; I
ask Thee to stay
Close by me for ever, And
love me, I pray,
Bless all the dear children in
Thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven to live
with Thee there.
Away in a manger
(Jazz)
Away in a manger, no crib for a
bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down
His sweet head.
The stars in the bright 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 side until
morning is nigh.

Thee there.

Jingle Bells
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle
all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride In a
one-horse open sleigh,
O jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle
all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride In a
one-horse open sleigh!
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring,
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
(repeat chorus)
It’s Christmas Time
It’s Christmas time
It’s here again!
There’s lots of fun and jobs to
do
We’ve got to buy and wrap
some presents
As well as send our Christmas
cards.
Now Santa Claus is on his way
He’s bringing toys and gifts for
me
I just hope I’ve been a good
child
So he’ll stop at my address.
The Christmas tree is shining
bright
And the house is full of light
We celebrate the birth of Jesus
As we sing our song for you.
Repeat verse one.
