01. Hark The Herald Angels Sing / Come All Ye Faithful

Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Glory to the newborn King
Peace on Earth and mercy mild
G-d and sinners reconciled
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic hosts proclaim Peace has come to Bethlehem
Hark the Herald Angels Sing!
Glory to the newborn King

Hail by highest heaven adored
Hail the everlasting Lord
Light and life to all he brings
Here with healing in his wings
Mild he lay his glory by
Born that man no more may die
Bringing hope to all the land
Peace to every child and man
Hark the Herald Angels Sing!
Glory to the newborn king

Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Come ye oh come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold him
Born the king of angels
Come let us adore him
Come let us adore him
Oh come let us adore him
He is the Lord!
Sing choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to G-d
Glory in the highest
Come let us adore him
Come let us adore him
Oh come let us adore him
He is the Lord!

02. I Saw Three Ships

I Saw Three Ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day On Christmas Day
Saw Three Ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning

And whither sailed those ships all three
On Christmas Day On Christmas Day
And whither sailed those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning

They sailed into Bethelehem
On Christmas Day On Christmas Day
They sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas Day in the morning

And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas Day On Christmas Day
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas Day in the morning

And all the souls on Earth shall sing
On Christmas Day On Christmas Day
And all the souls on Earth shall sing
On Christmas Day in the morning


Then let us all rejoice again
On Christmas Day On Christmas Day
Let us all rejoice again
On Christmas Day in the mening

06. 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 thou knowst it telling
Yonder peasant who is he
Where and what his dwelling?"
"Sire, he lives a good league hence
Underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence
By St Agnes Fountain"

Bring me bread and bring me wine
Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I shall see him dine
When be bear them thither
Page and monarch forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude winds wild lament
And the bitter weather

In his masters steps he trod
Where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
Which the Saint had printed
Therefore all you men be sure
Wealth or rank posessing
He who now shall bless the poor
Shall yourselves find Blessing

07. Lord Of The Dance / Simple Gifts

I danced in the morning when the world had begun
And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on the Earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth
Dance then where ever you may be
"I am the Lord of the Dance" said he
"And I'll lead you all whever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he

Tis a gift to be simple tis a gift to be free
Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves in a place just right
We'll be in the valley of love and delight

Dance then where ever you may be
"I am the Lord of the Dance" said he
"And I'll lead you all whever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he

When true simplicity is gained
To bow and to bend we shant be ashamed
To turn to turn will be our delight
Till be turning we come round right

Dance then where ever you may be
"I am the Lord of the Dance" said he
"And I'll lead you all whever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he

I danced in the morning when the world had begun
And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on the Earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth

08. We Three Kings

We Three Kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we travers afar
Field and fountain moor and mountain ...following yonder star

Frankensence to offer have I
Insense owns a deity nigh
Prayer and praising all men raising
Worship him, God on high

Oh, 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 I bring to crown him again
King forever ceasing never
Over us all to reign...

09. Wish You Were Here

Wish You Were Here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...
I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue...
I've got feelings for you,
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you,
I felt joy of living,
I saw heaven in your eyes...
In your eyes...
Wish you were here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...
I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell...
And I'm feeling blue...
I miss your laugh, I miss your smile,
I miss everything about you...
Every second's like a minute,
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away...
The snow is getting colder, baby,
I Wish You Were Here...
A battlefield of love and fear,
And I Wish You Were Here...
I've got feelings for you,
From the first time I laid my eyes on you...

10. Emmanuel

Oh come oh come Emmanuel
And ransome captive Israel
Who mourns in lonely exile here...
Until the face of God appears
Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
Will come to thee, oh Israel...

Oh come thou day spring, come and cheer..
Thy spirits by thine advent here
And drive away the shades of night
And pierce the clouds and bring us light
Rejoice, rejoice Emmanuel
Will come to thee, oh Israel...

11. Christmas Eve

Say goodbye to November
She must be on her way
The cold winds of December
Feel like they're here to stay
Me, I'll just count the snowflakes,
As they start to fall
Getting lost in the beauty
The magic of it all

And our eyes filled with wonder
As the reindeer take to flight

Its Christmas Eve
Bells will ring
Through the town we gather to sing
Christmas Eve has begun
Peace and Love to everyone

Light the festive candles
They'll chase the shadows away
Gathering round the Yule log
With handfuls of holly
WInter winds will whisper
Through the shivering pines
Never have the stars looked brighter than tonight

And our eyes filled with wonder
As the reindeer take to flight

Its Christmas Eve
Bells will ring
Through the town we gather to sing
Christmas Eve has begun
Peace and Love to everyone

12. 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

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 to you and all of your kin
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year
