Κάλαντα των Φώτων

Σήμερα τα φώτα κι ο φωτισμός
η χαρα μεγάλη κι ο αγιασμός.
Κάτω στον Ιορδάνη τον ποταμό
κάθετ' η κυρά μας η Παναγιά.
'Οργανo βαστάει, κερί κρατεί
και τον Αϊ-Γιάννη παρακαλεί.
'Αϊ-Γιάννη αφέντη και βαπτιστή
βάπτισε κι εμένα Θεού παιδί.
Ν' ανεβώ επάνω στον ουρανό
να μαζέψω ρόδα και λίβανο.
Καλημέρα, καλημέρα,
Καλή σου μέρα αφέντη με την κυρά.

Πρωτοχρονιάτικα κάλαντα (σε όλη την Ελλάδα)

Αρχιμηνιά κι αρχιχρονιά,
ψηλή μου δενδρολιβανιά,
κι αρχή καλός μας χρόνος,
εκκλησιά με τ' άγιο θρόνο.

Αρχή που βγήκε ο Χριστός,
άγιος και πνευματικός,
στη γη να περπατήσει,
και να μας καλοκαρδίσει.

Άγιος Βασίλης έρχεται,
και όλους μας καταδέχεται,
από την Καισαρεία,
σ’ εισ’ αρχόντισσα κυρία.

Βαστάει εικόνα και χαρτί,
ζαχαροκάντιο ζυμωτή,
χαρτί και καλαμάρι,
δες και με το παλικάρι.

Το καλαμάρι έγραφε,
τη μοίρα μου την έγραφε,
και το χαρτί ομίλει,
Άγιέ μου καλέ Βασίλη.

Κάτσε να φας, κάτσε να πιεις
κάτσε το πόνο σου να πεις,
κάτσε - κάτσε να τραγουδήσεις,
και να μας - και να μας καλοκαρδίσεις.

Αποχαιρετισμός Του Χρόνου

Πάει ο παλιός ο χρόνος
ας γιορτάσουμε παιδιά
και του χωρισμού ο πόνος
ας κοιμάται στη καρδιά.

Καλή χρονιά, καλή χρονιά,
χαρούμενη, χρυσή πρωτοχρονιά.. (δις)

Γέρε χρόνε φύγε τώρα
παει η δική σου η σειρά
ήρθε ο νέος με τα δώρα,
με τραγούδια και χαρά.

Καλή χρονιά, καλή χρονιά,
χαρούμενη, χρυσή πρωτοχρονιά.. (δις)

Μα κι αν φεύγεις πια μακριά μας
στην καρδιά μας πάντα ζει
κάθε λύπη και χαρά μας
που περάσαμε μαζί.

Καλή χρονιά, καλή χρονιά,
χαρούμενη, χρυσή πρωτοχρονιά.. (δις)

Όλα γύρω χιονισμένα
όλα γύρω παγωνιά
μα θα λιώσουν ένα ένα
με τη νέα τη χρονιά.

Καλή χρονιά, καλή χρονιά,
χαρούμενη, χρυσή πρωτοχρονιά.. (δις)

Christams Songs

Χριστουγεννιάτικα κάλαντα (σε όλη τη Ελλάδα)

Καλήν εσπέραν άρχοντες,
αν είναι ορισμός σας,
Χριστού τη Θεία γέννηση,
να πω στ' αρχοντικό σας.

Χριστός γεννάται σήμερον,
εν Βηθλεέμ τη πόλη,
οι ουρανοί αγάλλονται,
χαίρεται η φύσης όλη.

Εν τω σπηλαίω τίκτεται,
εν φάτνη των αλόγων,
ο βασιλεύς των ουρανών,
και ποιητής των όλων.

Πλήθος αγγέλων ψάλλουσι,
το Δόξα εν υψίστης,
και τούτο άξιον εστί,
η των ποιμένων πίστης.

Εκ της Περσίας έρχονται,
τρεις μάγοι με τα δώρα,
άστρο λαμπρό τους οδηγεί,
χωρίς να λείψει ώρα.

Φτάνοντας στην Ιερουσαλήμ,
με πόθο ερωτούσι,
πού εγεννήθει ο Χριστός,
να πάν να τον ευρώσι.

Δια Χριστόν ως ήκουσε,
ο βασιλεύς Ηρώδης,
αμέσως εταράχτηκε,
κι έγινε θηριώδης.

Διατί πολλά φοβήθηκε,
δια τη βασιλεία,
μην του τη πάρει ο Χριστός,
και χάσει την αξία.

Κράζει τους μάγους και ρωτά,
που ο Χριστός γεννάται,
εν Βηθλεέμ ηξέρομε,
ο συγγραφεύς διηγάται.

Τον είπε να υπάγουσι,
και όπου τον εβρούσιν,
αφού τον προσκυνήσουσιν,
να παν να του το πούσιν

Όπως υπάγει και αυτός,
για να τον προσκυνήσει,
με δόλο ως μισόθεος,
για να τον αφανήσει.

Βγαίνουν οι Μάγοι τρέχοντας,
και τον αστέρα βλέπουν,
φως θεϊκό κατέβαινε,
και με χαρά προστρέχουν.

Φτάνοντας εις το σπήλαιο,
βρίσκουν την Θεοτόκο,
και βάστα στας αγκάλας της,
τον Άγιον της Τόκο.

Γονατιστοί τον προσκυνούν,
και δώρα του χαρίζουν,
σμύρνα χρυσό και λίβανο,
θεό τον εφημίζουν.

Σμύρνα είναι νέος άνθρωπος,
χρυσό ως Βασιλέα,
και λίβανο νέος θεός,
σ’ όλη την ατμοσφαίρα.

Αφού τον προσκυνήσασιν,
ευθύς πάλι μισεύουν,
και τον Ηρώδη μελετούν,
να πάνε για να εύρουν.

Άγγελος εκ των ουρανών,
βγαίνει τους εμποδίζει,
από άλλην οδό να πορευτούν,
αυτός τους διορίζει.

Και πάλι άλλος Άγγελος,
τον Ιωσήφ προστάζει,
εις Αίγυπτο να πορευτεί,
και εκεί να ησυχάζει.

Να πάρει και την Μαριάμ,
μαζί με τον υιό της,
γιατί ο Ηρώδης εζητεί,
τον τόκο τον δικό της.

Μη βλέποντας ο Βασιλεύς,
τους μάγους να γυρίζουν,
στην Βηθλεέμ επρόσταξε,
παιδί να μην αφήσουν.

Χιλιάδες δεκατέσσερις,
σφάζουν σε μια ημέρα,
θρήνο κλαυθμό και οδυρμό,
είχε κάθε μητέρα.

Και επληρώθην το ρηθέν,
Προφήτου Ησαϊου,
ως και των άλλων προφητών,
και του Ιερεμίου.

ΤΡΙΓΩΝΑ - ΚΑΛΑΝΤΑ

Τρίγωνα κάλαντα σκόρπισαν παντού
κάθε σπίτι μια φωλιά του μικρού Χριστού.
Τρίγωνα κάλαντα μέσ' τη γειτονιά
ήρθαν τα Χριστούγεννα κι η Πρωτοχρονιά.

Aστρο φωτεινό, θα 'βγει γιορτινό,
μήνυμα να φέρει από τον ουρανό.
Μες στη σιγαλιά ανοίγει η αγκαλιά
και κάνει η αγάπη στη καρδιά φωλιά.

Τρίγωνα κάλαντα στο μικρό χωριό
και χτυπά Χριστούγεννα το καμπαναριό.
Τρίγωνα κάλαντα σκόρπισαν παντού
και μας φέρνουν μήνυμα του μικρού Χριστού.

Τρέχουν τα παιδιά μέσα στο χιονιά,
ήρθαν τα Χριστούγεννα κι η Πρωτοχρονιά.
Μες στη σιγαλιά άνοιξ' η αγκαλιά
κι έκανε η αγάπη στη καρδιά φωλιά.

Τρίγωνα κάλαντα κέφι και χαρά
ήρθαν τα Χριστούγεννα κι η Πρωτοχρονιά.
Τρίγωνα κάλαντα χρόνια σας πολλά
ήρθαν τα Χριστούγεννα κι η Πρωτοχρονιά.

Ο μικρός τυμπανιστής

Μου'παν έλα να πάμε να δεις,
Χριστός γεννήθηκε στην άκρη της γης.
Κι εγώ γυρεύω απόψε στον ουρανό
τ' αστέρι ψάχνω να βρω το φωτεινό,
ραπαπαπαμ, ραπαπαπαμ,
να με πάει στο μικρό βασιλιά,
πέρα μακριά.

Μες στη νύχτα παιδί μοναχό,
τι δώρο να του φέρω, που 'μαι φτωχό.
Φέρνω το τύμπανο που μόνο κρατώ,
τα κάλαντα να παίξω για το Χριστό,
ραπαπαπαμ, ραπαπαπαμ,
το πιο ωραίο τραγούδι θα πω,
για το Χριστό.

Μες τη φάτνη τα ζώα ξυπνούν
κι απέξω ταπεινά βοσκοί προσκυνούν.
Στης Παναγιάς κρυμμένο την αγκαλιά
χρυσό στεφάνι φως φορεί στα μαλλιά,
ραπαπαπαμ, ραπαπαπαμ,
σα με βλέπει, η καρδιά μου
χτυπά χαρωπά και μου γελά.

Άγια Νύχτα

'Αγια Νύχτα σε προσμένουν, με χαρά οι Χριστιανοί
και με πίστη ανυμνούμε, τον Θεό δοξολογούμε,
μ' ένα στόμα, μια φωνή. Ναι, με μια φωνή.

Η ψυχή μας φτερουγίζει πέρα στ' άγια τα βουνά,
όπου ψέλνουν οι αγγέλοι απ' τα ουράνια θεία μέλη,
στο Σωτήρα "Ωσαννά", ψέλνουν, "Ωσαννά".

Στης Βηθλεέμ ελάτε όλοι τα βουνά τα ιερά
και μ' ευλάβεια μεγάλη, κει που το άγιο φως προβάλλει
προσκυνήστε με χαρά. Ναι με μια χαρά.

Σαν παιδί φτωχό γεννιέται ο Χριστός μας ταπεινά
κι όσοι θέλετε ευτυχία, του Θεού την ευλογία,
δώστε, δώστε στα ορφανά, ναι στα ορφανά.

Το έλατο

Το έλατο

Αχ έλατο, αχ έλατο, μ' αρέσεις πως μ' αρέσεις!
(Τι ωραία την Πρωτοχρονιά
μας φέρνεις δώρα στα κλαδιά
αχ έλατο, αχ έλατο, μ' αρέσεις πως μ' αρέσεις!) (δις)

Αχ έλατο, αχ έλατο, τι δίδαγμα η στολή σου!
(Ελπίδα εμπνέει σταθερή
και θάρρος πάντα στη ζωή
αχ έλατο, αχ έλατο, μ' αρέσεις πως μ' αρέσεις!) (δις)

Αχ έλατο, αχ έλατο, τα πράσινά σου φύλλα!
(Τα. βγάζεις με καλοκαιριά
και τα φορείς με το χιονιά.
Αχ έλατο, αχ έλατο, τα πράσινά σου φύλλα!) (δις)

Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring
are you listening
in the lane
snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
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've made
walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
and pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
until the all the kids knock him down

When it snows
ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
the Eskimo way
walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland
walking in a winter wonderland

What Child Is This?

What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own Him,
The King of kings, salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer.
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some, so bring some right here.

We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We Three Kings of Orient Are (Star of Wonder)

We three kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder Star.

Chorus:
O, star of wonder, star of might,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

Born a babe on Bethlehem's plain;
Gold we bring to crown Him again;
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.

Chorus

Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
Worship Him, God on High.

Chorus

Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Seal'd in the stone-cold tomb.

Chorus

Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and sacrifice,
Heaven sings, "Hallelujah!"
"Hallejujah!" Earth replies.

Chorus

Silver Bells

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 street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a 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 this 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

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 the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.

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 glowed.

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 guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him,
as they shouted out with glee:
"Rudoph the Red Nose 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
Every couple tries to stop

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's dancing merrily
In the new old-fashioned way

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's dancing merrily
In the new old-fashioned way

O Holy Night

O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees,
O hear the angels' voices!
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born
O night divine,
O night divine,
O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our Friend!
He knows our need; to our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy Name!
Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!

O Come, All Ye Faithful

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Oh come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
come and behold him, born the King of angels;
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

God of God, light of light,
lo, he abhors not the virgin's womb;
very God, begotten not created:
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
sing, all ye citizens of heaven above;
glory to God in the highest:
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

See how the shepards summoned to his cradel,
leaving their flocks, draw nigh with lowly fear;
we too will thither hend our joyful footsteps;
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be glory given;
word of the Father, now in flesh appearing:
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

O Christmas Tree

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!
How are thy leaves so verdant!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How are thy leaves so verdant!

Not only in the summertime,
But even in winter is thy prime.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How are thy leaves so verdant!

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!

For every year the Christmas tree,
Brings to us all both joy and glee.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy candles shine out brightly!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy candles shine out brightly!

Each bough doth hold its tiny light,
That makes each toy to sparkle bright.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy candles shine out brightly!

Mele Kalikimaka

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say,
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day,
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway,
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright,
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night,
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say "Merry Christmas to you."

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.

Johnny wants a pair of skates;
Susy wants a dolly;
Nellie wants a story book;
She thinks dolls are folly;
As for me, my little brain
Isn't very bright;
Choose for me, old Santa Claus,
What you think is right.

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell
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 is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse
pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell

That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock

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
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.

chorus: 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.

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.

A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as
I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away.

Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
and crack! You'll take the lead.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Toys in ev'ry store,
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

It came upon a midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold:
'Peace on the earth, good will to men,
from heaven's all-gracious King!'
The world in solemn stillness lay
to hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come
with peaceful wings unfurled;
and still their heavenly music floats
o'er all the weary world;
above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hovering wing,
and ever o'er its Babel sounds
the blessed angels sing.

But with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long;
beneath the angel strain have rolled
two thousands years of wrong;
and man, at war with man, hears not
the love song which they bring;
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
and hear the angels sing.

For, lo! the days are hastening on,
by prophet bards foretold,
when with the ever-circling years,
comes round the age of gold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendours fling,
and the whole world give back the song
which now the angels sing.

In Excelsis Gloria

When Christ was born of Mary free,
In Bethlehem in that fair city,
Angels sung e'er with mirth and glee,

Chorus
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria.

Herdmen beheld these angels bright-
To them appeared with great light,
And said, "God's son is born this night."

Chorus

This King is come to save His kind,
In the Scripture as we find;
Therefore this song we have in mind:

Chorus

Then, dear Lord, for Thy great grace,
Grant us the bliss to see Thy face,
Where we may sing to Thy solace:

Chorus

I'll be Home For Christmas

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow
And mistletoe
And presents 'neath the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And mild and sweet the words repeat,
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

I thought how as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had roll'd along th' unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bow'd my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men."

'Til ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men!

Holly Jolly Christmas

Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
but have a cup of cheer
Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
And when you walk down the street
Say Hello to friends you know
and everyone you meet

Oh
ho
the mistletoe
hung where you can see;
Somebody waits for you;
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly jolly Christmas
and in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly
have a holly
jolly Christmas this year

Here Comes Santa Claus

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
He's got a bag that is filled with toys
for the boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
-Gene Autry, Oakley Haldeman

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

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 Yule-tide gay,
From now on our 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
On the highest bough,
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now

Hark! the Herald Angels Sing

Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King,
peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconcile.
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
join the triumph of the skies;
with the angelic host proclaim,
'Christ is born in Bethlehem'
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.

Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come,
offspring of a virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail, the incarnate deity,
pleased as Man with to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.

Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace!
Hail the Son of righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
risen with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that man no more may die,
born to raise the sons of earth,
born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.

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,
Gathering winter fuel.

"Hither, page, and stand by me,
If though know'st it, telling,
Yonder peasent, who is he?"
Where and what his dwelling?
"Sire, he lives a good league hence,
Underneath the mountain;
Right against the forest fence,
By Saint Agnes' fountain."

"Bring me flesh, and bring me wine,
Bring me pine logs hither;
Thou and I will see him dine,
When we bear them thither."
Page and monarch, forth they went,
Forth they went together;
Thro' the rude wind's wild lament
And the bitter weather.

"Sire, the night is darker now,
And the wind blows stronger;
Fails my heart, I know not how,
I can go no longer."
"Mark my footsteps, my good page;
Tread thou in them boldly;
Though shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly."

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,
Wealth or rank possesing,
Ye who now will bless the poor,
Shall yourself find blessing.

Frosty The Snowman

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children
know how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that
old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
he began to dance around
O
Frosty the snowman
was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh
and play just the same as you and me
Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

Frosty the snowman knew
the sun was hot that day
So he said
"Let's run and
we'll have some fun
now before I melt away
" Down to the village
with a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there all
around the square saying
Catch me if you can
He led them down the streets of town
right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
he heard him holler "Stop!"
For Frosty the snow man
had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying
"Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day
" Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

The First Noel

The first Noel the angel did say
was to certain poor shepards in fields as they lay:
in fields where they lay a-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, Noel, Noel,
born is the King of Israel.

And by the light of that same star
three wise men came from the country far;
to seek for a King was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the King of Israel.

This star drew nigh to the north-west;
o'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
and there it did both stop and stay,
right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the King of Israel.

Then entered in those wise men three,
fell reverently upon their knee,
and offered there in his presence
their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the kind of Israel.

Then let us all with one accord
sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
that hath made heaven and earth of nought,
and with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the King of Israel.

Do You Hear What I hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb,
do you see what I see
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
do you see what I see
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king,
do you know what I know
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere,
listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere!
listen to what I say
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
