  • Verse 1

    Hark the herald angels sing

    Glory to the newborn King

    Peace on earth and mercy mild

    God and sinners reconciled

    Joyful all ye nations rise

    Join the triumph of the skies

    With th'angelic hosts proclaim

    Christ is born in Bethlehem

    Hark the herald angels sing

    Glory to the newborn King


    Verse 2

    Christ by highest heav'n adored

    Christ the everlasting Lord

    Late in time behold Him come

    Offspring of the Virgin's womb

    Veiled in flesh the Godhead see

    Hail th'incarnate Deity

    Pleased as man with men to dwell

    Jesus our Emmanuel

    Hark the herald angels sing

    Glory to the newborn King


    Verse 3

    Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace

    Hail the Sun of Righteousness

    Light and life to all He brings

    Ris'n 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



  • Verse

    Dashing through the snow

    In a one-horse open sleigh

    O'er the fields 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



    Chorus

    Oh, 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


  • Verse 1

    O come all ye faithful

    Joyful and triumphant

    O come ye O come ye to Bethlehem

    Come and behold Him

    Born the King of angels

    O come let us adore Him

    O come let us adore Him

    O come let us adore Him

    Christ the Lord

    Sing choirs of angels

    Sing in exultation

    O sing all ye bright

    Hosts of heav'n above

    Glory to God all

    Glory in the highest

    Yea Lord we greet Thee

    Born that happy morning

    Jesus to Thee be all glory giv'n

    Word of the Father

    Now in flesh appearing


  • Verse 1

    Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

    Had a very shiny nose

    (Like a lightbulb!)

    And if you ever saw him

    You would even say it glows

    (Like a flashlight!)

    All of the other reindeer

    Used to laugh and call him names

    (Like Pinocchio!)

    They never let poor Rudolph

    Join in any reindeer games

    (Like Monopoly!)


    Verse 2

    Then one foggy Christmas Eve

    Santa came to say; (Ho, Ho, Ho)

    "Rudolph with your nose so bright

    Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

    Then all the reindeer loved him (Loved him!)

    As they shouted out with glee (With glee!)

    Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

    You'll go down in history!


    Verse 3

    Then one foggy Christmas Eve

    Santa came to say; (Ho, Ho, Ho)

    "Rudolph with your nose so bright

    Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

    Then all the reindeer loved him (Loved him!)

    As they shouted out with glee (With glee!)

    Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

    You'll go down in history!


  • You better watch out,

    You better not cry,

    You better not pout,

    I'm telling you why...

    Santa Claus is coming to town!


    He's making a list,

    And checking it twice,

    Gonna find out,

    Who's naughty or nice.

    Santa Claus is coming to town!


    He sees you when you're sleeping,

    He knows when you're awake.

    He knows if you've been bad or good,

    So be good for goodness sake!



  • 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

    To the North Pole for Saint Nick

    I won't even stay awake to

    Hear those magic reindeer click

    Holding on to me so tight

    What more can I do?

    Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

    You, baby

    And the sound of children's laughter fills the air

    Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?

    Won't you please bring my baby to me?

    This is all I'm asking for

    I just wanna see my baby

    Standing right outside my door


    Oh, I just want you for my own

    Make my wish come true

    Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
