1.O Come O Come Emmanuel

Lyrics:Latin Hymm
Music:Plaingsong Melody

O Come, O Come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.

* Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy shades of night
And pierce the clouds and bring us light.

Repeat *

I Saw Three Ships

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Written:Hugh martin/Ralph Blane

Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Let your heart be light.
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Make the Yuletide gay.
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Once again as in olden days happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us will be near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together if the fates allow.
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough and have yourself a
merry little Christmas now

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing
you dismay;
Remember, Christ our Saviour was born on
Christmas Day,
To save us all from Satan's power when we were
gone astray,
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

In Bethlehem, in Jewry, this blessed Babe
was born
And laid within a manger upon this
blessed morn;
The which His mother Mary did nothing take
in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God, our Heav'nly Father, a blessed
angel came,
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings
of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of
God by name,
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

Away In A Manager (Luther's Cradle Hymn)

What Child Is This? (Greensleeves)

What child is this,
Who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthem sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
This, this is Christ the King,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies He in such mean estate

Where ox and lamb are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.

This, this is Christ the King, etc.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,

Come, peasant, kin to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

This this is Christ the King...etc

Carol Of The Bells

O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles)

Choir
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and beyond Him
Born the King of Angels

O come let us adore Him, (x3)
Christ the Lord.

God of Gods, Light of Light,
Lo, He abhors not the Virgin womb;
Very God, Begotten not created

O come let us adore Him, etc.

Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all ye citizens of heav above
lory to God in the highest

Choir
O come let us adore Him, etc.

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesu, to Thee be glory given
Word of the father now in flesh appearing.

O come let us adore Him,
O come adore Him, Christ the Lord.


3.The Christmas Waltz

Lyrics:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Music:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne

Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me

It's that time of year
When the world fall in love
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say
'Merry Christmas, May Your New Year
Dreams Come True'
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too


4.Sleigh Ride

Written:Parrish Anderson/L.Anderson

Just hear those sleigh bells jing-a-ling
Ring ting ting-a-ting too
C'mon it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling you hoo
C'mon it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together

Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're riding along with a song
Of a wintery fairyland

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We snuggle close together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
C'mon it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Grey
It'll be the perfect ending
Of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing
Without a single stop
At the fireplace where
We'll watch the chestnuts pop
Pop pop pop

There's a happy feeling
Nothing in this world can buy
When they pass around
The coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like
A picture print by Currier & lives
These wonderful things
Are the things
We remember all through our lives
These wonderful things
Are the things
We remember all through our lives

Sleigh bells jing-a-ling
Ring ting ting-a-ting too
C'mon it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling you hoo
C'mon it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together

Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're riding along with a song
Of a wintery fairyland

Nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We snuggle close together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
C'mon it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

It's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

With you


5.It's Christmas Time/Sleep Well, Little Children

It's Christmas Time

It's Christmas time and time for a carol
Time to sing about the little King
To fill the bowl and roll out the banel
Have ourselves a fling

We greet a friend or welcome a stranger
Let him sing on cheer him on his way
And celebrate the child in the manger
Born on Christmas day

Good cheer for you and for me
With pleasure and glee to share
Oh, we're so happy to be together
On yuletide square

It looks like snow
And falls like snow
Take a moment
Take a look about and say
As snowflakes fall
Merry Christmas to one and all


6.Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Lyrics:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane
Music:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane

Christmas future is far away
Christmas past is past
Christmas present is here today
Bringing joy that will last

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles
Will be out of sight

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on your troubles
Will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a Merry Little Christmas now


7.Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town

Written:Fred Coots/Haven Gillespie

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town

The kids in girl and boyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland
All around the Christmas tree

So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why

Santa Claus (is comin' to town)
Santa Claus (is comin' to town)
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
To town


8.The Christmas Song(Chestnut Roasting On An Open Fire)

Lyrics:Mel Torme/Robert Wells
Music:Mel Torme/Robert Wells

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at 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 aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple wish
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

They know that Santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple wish
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you


9.Silent Night

Lyrics:Joseph Mohr/Franz Gruber
Music:Joseph Mohr/Franz Gruber

Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon virgin Mother and Child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace ( 2x )

Silent night! Holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia!
Christ the Saviour is born ( 2x )

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 ( 3x )


10.Jingle Bells

Lyrics:James S.Pierpont
Music:James S.Pierpont

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells in bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

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


11.The First Snowfall/Let It Snow, Let it Snow, Let It Snow

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
Written:Jule Styne/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 bought 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 hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
Oh the fire is slowly dying
And my dear were still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow


12.Carol Of The Bells


13.Merry Christmas Darling

Written:Frank Poole/Richard Carpenter

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one more wish to make
A special one for you

Merry Christmas darling
We're apart that's true
But I can dream and in my dreams
I'm Christmas-ing with you

Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day's a holiday
When I'm near to you
The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say

That I wish you a Merry Christmas
Happy New Year, too
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you


14.I'll Be Home For Christmas

Written:Walter Kent/Kim Gannon/Buck Ram

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and misltetoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
With a love like me
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Choir Sings: I'll be home for Christmas
There'll be snow and mistletoe

Martina Sings: Christmas Eve wil find me
With a love like me
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams


15.Christ Is Born

It is he
Christ who is born today
Hear him crying
In the manger
King of Heaven
Son of God
Alleluia, Alleluia

There he lies
There with the lambkin
Only swaddle for his garment
With his Holy Mother Mary
Alleluia, Alleluia

Glory, Glory to almighty God
And on earth peace to all men
Hear the joyful angels singing
Alleluia, Alleluia

He is born
Let us adore him
Christ the Lord
King of Kings
Prince of Peace
For all the universe
Alleluia, Alleluia


16.Winter Wonderland/Silver Bells/White Christmas

Winter Wonderland
Music:Felix Bernard
Lyrics:Dick Smith

Over the ground lies a mantle of white,
A heaven of diamonds shine down thro'
the night,
Two hearts are thrillin' in spite of the chill in
the weather.
Love knows no season, love knows no clime,
Romance can blossom any old time,
Here in the open we're walking and hoping together!

Sleigh bells ring, are you list'nin'?!

In the lane snow is glis'nin',
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland!

Gone away is the blue bird,

Here to stay is a new bird,
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland!

In the meadow we can build a snowman

Then pretend that he is Parson Brown,
He'll say 'Are you married?'
We'll say 'No, man! But you can do the
job when you're in town!'

Later on we'll conspire,

As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we made,
Walking in a winter wonderland!

Sleigh bells ring, are you lis'nin'?! etc...

Silver Bells
Written: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 streetlights, even stoplights
Blink of 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 the bustle 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
Soon it will be Christmas Day

White Christmas
Written:Irving Berlin

The sun is shinning the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills L.A.
But it's December the 24th
And I'm longing to be up north

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 Christmas's be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas's be white
