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 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 be my bedside ’til 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

Christmas Is Coming

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat

Please do put a penny, in the old man’s hat

If you haven’t got a penny, then a ha’penny will do

If you haven’t got a ha’penny, then God bless you

Deck The Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Fa la la la la la la la la

’Tis the season to be jolly

Fa la la la la la la la la

Don we now our gay apparel

Fa la la la la la la la la

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol

Fa la la la la la la la la

See the blazing Yule before us

Fa la la la la la la la la

Strike the harp and join the chorus

Fa la la la la la la la la

Follow me in merry measure

Fa la la la la la la la la

While I tell of Yuletide treasure

Fa la la la la la la la la

Fast away the old year passes

Fa la la la la la la la la

Hail the new ye lads and lasses

Fa la la la la la la la la

Sing we joyous all together

Fa la la la la la la la la

Heedless of the wind and weather

Fa la la la la la la la la

Here we Come

A-Carolling

Here we come a-carolling,

among the leaves so green

Here we come a-wandering,

so fair to be seen

Love and joy come to you,

and a Merry Christmas 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

We are the neighbour’s children,

that you have seen before

Love and joy come to you,

and a Merry Christmas too

And God bless you

and send you a Happy New Year,

and God send you a Happy New Year

God bless the master of this house,

and bless the mistress too

And all the little children,

that round the table go

Love and joy come to you

And a Merry Christmas too

And God bless you

and send you a Happy New Year

And God send you a Happy New Year

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Jolly old Saint Nicholas, lean your ear this way

Don’t you tell a single soul, what I’m going to say

Christmas Eve is coming soon, now you dear old man

Whisper what you’ll bring to me, tell me if you can

When the clock is striking twelve, when I'm fast asleep

Down the chimney broad and black, with your pack you'll creep 

All the stockings you will find, hanging in a row

Mine will be the shortest one, you'll be sure to know

Will you bring a pair of skates, might it be a book?

Or a box of magic tricks, I can't wait to look

So underneath the Christmas Tree, on this special night

Leave for me dear Santa Claus, what you think is right

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 thy holy face

With the dawn of saving grace

Jesus, Lord at thy birth

Jesus, Lord at thy birth

Up On The Housetop

Up on the housetop the 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, 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 Nel

Oh dear Santa, fill it well

Give her a dolly that laughs and cries

One that will 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

Next comes the stocking of little Will

Oh just see, what a glorious fill

Here is a hammer and lots of tacks

Also 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
