Away in the 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 in 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 till 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 take us to heaven,
to live with Thee there.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

You better watch out, You’d better not cry,
You’d better not pout, I’m telling you why,
Santa Claus is coming 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 coming to town.

He knows when you are sleeping,
He knows when you’re awake,
He knows when you’ve been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake.

You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry,
You’d better not pout, I’m telling you why,
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

Rudolph the red nose 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 never 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 drive my sleigh tonight.

Then how the reindeer love him,
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red nose reindeer,
You’ll go down in history.

Silent Night

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,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the Saviour is born.

Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.

Reignier – Christmas with the Stars – 2003

Mary’s Boy Child

Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible said
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.

Chorus:
Hark now hear the angels sing a King was born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore because of 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.
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.

Chorus

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 said
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.

Chorus

When a Child is Born

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high,
All across the land dawns a brand new morn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.

A silent wish sails the seven seas,
The winds of change whisper in the trees,
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.

A rosy hue settles all around,
You got the feel you’re on solid ground,
For a spell of two no-one seems forlorn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.

(Spoken)
And all of this comes to pass
because the world is waiting,
Waiting for one child
black, white, yellow, no-one knows,
But a child that will grow up
and turn tears to laughter, hate to love,
War to peace and
everyone to everyone’s neighbour.
And misery and suffering will be
words to be forgotten forever.

It’s all a dream and illusion now,
It must come true sometime soon somehow,
All across the land dawns a brand new morn,
This comes to pass when a child is born,
This comes to pass when a child is born.

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
Oh what fun it is 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, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh!

We Wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas,   x3
And a happy new year.

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas
and a happy new year.

Now bring us some figgy pudding,   x3
And bring some out here.
We won’t go until we get some,   x2
No, we won’t go until we get some.
So bring some out here.

The First Noel

The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
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.

Noel, Noel, …

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far,
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.

Noel, Noel, …

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bells, jingle bell, jingle bell rock,
Jingle bell swing and jingle bell’s ring.
Snowin’ and blowin’ up bushels of fun,
Now the jingle hop has begun.
Jingle bells, jingle bell, jingle bell rock,
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time.
Dancing and prancing 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 it’s a swell time,
To go riding on a one horse sleigh.

Giddy up, jingle horse pick up your feet,
Jingle around the clock,
Mix and mingle in a jingling beat.
That’s the jingle bell rock.

Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree

Rockin around the Christmas tree,
At the Christmas party hop.
Mistletoe hung where you can see,
Every couple tries to stop.
Rockin around the Christmas tree,
Let the Christmas spirit ring.
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie,
And we’ll do some carolling.

You will get a sentimental feelin’
when you hear
Voices singing, let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin’ merrily
In the new old fashioned way

You will get a sentimental feelin’
when you hear
Voices singing, let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Snoopy’s Christmas

The news had come out in the First World War,
The bloody Red Baron was flying once more,
The Allied command ignored all of its men,
And called on Snoopy to do it again.

Twas the night before Christmas,
and forty below,
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe,
He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought,
With ice on his wings
Snoopy knew he was caught.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells,
Ringing through the land,
Asking peace of all the world,
And good will to man.

The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights,
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight,
Why he didn’t shoot, well, we’ll never know,
Or was it the bells from the village below.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells,
Ringing through the land,
Bringing peace to all the world,
And good will to man,

The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine,
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines,
Snoopy was certain that this was the end,
When the Baron cried out,
“Merry Christmas, my friend”.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells.
Ringing through the land,
Bringing peace to all the world,
And good will to man.

The Baron then offered a holiday toast,
And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host,
And then with a roar
they were both on their way,
Each knowing they’d meet on some other day.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells,
Ringing through the land,
Bringing peace to all the world,
And good will to man.

Happy Christmas
(The War is Over)

So this is Christmas,
and what have you done?
Another year over,
a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas,
I hope you have fun.
The near and the dear ones,
the old and the young.

A very, merry Christmas,
and a happy new year.
Let’s hope it’s a good one,
without any fear.

And so this is Christmas,
for weak and for strong.
The rich and the poor ones,
the road is so long.
And so happy Christmas,
for black and for white.
For the yellow and red ones,
let’s stop all the fights.

A very merry Christmas,
and a happy new year,
Let’s hope it’s a good one,
without any fear.

Do They Know It’s Christmas Time At All

It’s Christmas time.
There’s no need to be afraid.
At Christmas time,
we let in light and we banish hate.
And in our world of plenty,
we can spread a smile of joy.
Wrap your arms around the world
at Christmas time.

But say your prayer,
pray for the others ones,
At Christmas time,
it’s hard but when you’re having fun,
There’s a world outside your window
and it’s a world of dread and fear,
Where the only water flowing
is the bitter stream of tears,
And the Christmas bells that ring there,
are the clanging chimes of doom,
Well tonight thank God
it’s them instead of you.

And there won’t be snow in Africa this
Christmas time (oh no)
The greatest gift they’ll get this year is life.
Where nothing ever grows,
no rain or rivers flow.
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?

Here’s to you, raise a glass for everyone.
Here’s to them,
underneath that burning sun
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?

Feed the world – Feed the world
(let them know it’s Christmas time and..)
Feed the world
(let them know it’s Christmas time and..)
