Good King Wenceslas

Good King Wenceslas looked out

On the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,

Deep and crisp and even.
Brightly shone the moon that night,

Though the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight,

Gath’ring winter fuel.

“Bring me food and bring me wine,

Bring me pine logs hither,
You and I will see him dine,

When we bear them thither.”
Page and monarch, forth they went,

Forth they went together,
Through the cold wind’s wild lament

And the bitter weather.

In his master’s steps he trod,

Where the snow lay dinted;
Heat was in the very sod

Which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,

While God’s gifts possessing,
You who now will bless the poor

Shall yourselves find blessing.

Here We Come A-Wassailing 

All: Here we come a-wassailing

Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a-wandering,

So fair to be seen.

Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you,

and send you a happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year.

We are not daily beggars

That beg from door to door,
But we are neighbors’ children

Whom you have seen before.

Love and joy come to you,

And to you your wassail, too,

And God bless you,

and send you a happy new year,

And God send you a happy new year.

Good Master and good Mistress,

As you sit by the fire
Pray think of us poor children

Who wander in the mire.

Love and joy come to you,

And to you your wassail, too,

And God bless you,

and send you a happy new year,

And God send you a happy new year.

We have a little purse made

Of ratching leather skin;
We want some of your small change

To line it well within.

Love and joy come to you,

And to you your wassail, too,

And God bless you,

and send you a happy new year,

And God send you a happy new year.

Love and joy come to you,

And to you your wassail, too,

And God bless you, and send you a happy new year,

And God send you a happy new year.

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!

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!

Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!

Pray you dutifully prime,

Your matin chime, ye ringers; 

May you beautifully rhyme

Your evetime song, ye singers.

Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!

Gloria, hosanna in excelsis! 

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.

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,

Alles schläft; einsam wacht

Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.

Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Over the hills we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on 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

Rudolph

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 never let poor Rudolph

Play 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!"

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

(solo)

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 bеlls in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With еvery Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

I’ll Be Home for Christmas

(This one's listen-only!)

I’ll be home for Christmas

You can plan on me

Please have snow

and mistletoe

And presents on the tree

Christmas eve will find me

Where the love light gleams

I’ll be home for Christmas

If only in my dreams

I’ll be home

I’ll be home

If only in my dreams

I’ll be home 

I’ll be home

If only in my dreams

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.

All those who can:

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,

Alles schläft; einsam wacht

Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.

Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

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

Up on the Housetop

Up on the housetop, reindeer pause

Out jumps good old Santa Claus

Down through the chimney with lots of toys

All for the little ones, Christmas joys

(Ho-ho-ho) Oh, who wouldn't go?

(Ho-ho-ho) Who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click

Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick

First comes the stocking of little Nell

Oh, dear Santa, fill it well

Give her a dolly that laughs and cries

One that can open and shut its eyes

(Ho-ho-ho) Who wouldn't go?

(Ho-ho-ho) Who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click

Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick

Look in the stocking of little Bill

Oh, just see what a glorious fill

Here is a hammer and lots of tacks

A whistle and a ball and a whip that cracks

(Ho-ho-ho) Who wouldn't go?

(Ho-ho-ho) Who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click

Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick
