| #1. SILENT NIGHT English words adapted from the original German of Joseph Mohr; Music by Franz Gruber 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 All is calm, all is bright. Shepherds quake at the sight. Glory streams from heaven afar, Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia; Christ the Savior is born; Christ the Savior is born; Silent Night, Holy Night Son of God, love's pure light.

RUDOLPH THE RED -NOSED REINDEER Words and music by Johnny Marks You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose, And if you ever saw it, You could even say it glows 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 how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, You'll go down in history!" |

| #5. 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 very street corner you hear (Chorus) 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 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 hear ........ (Chorus) #7. PEACE ON EARTH Let there be peace on earth, And let it begin with me, Let there be peace on earth, The peace that was meant to be. With God as our father, Brothers we will all be, Let me walk with my brother, In perfect harmony. Let Peace begin with me, Let this be the moment now, With every step I take, Let this be my solemn vow. To take each moment And live each moment In Peace eternally, Let there be Peace on Earth, And let it begin with me. |
#6. DECK THE HALLS Old Welsh Air 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. #8. JINGLE BELLS Dashing through the snow, In a one horse open sleigh, O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way, Bells on bobtail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to laugh 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. 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, He got into a drifted bank, And then we got upsot! .......(Chorus) Now the ground is white, go it while you're young, Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song, Just get a bobtail mare, Two forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack you'll take the lead ..........(Chorus) |
| #9. 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 bag 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 everywhere, Listen to what I say, A child, a child Sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light, He will bring us goodness and light. |
