1 Deck the Hall
(back to contents)

Deck the hall with boughs of holly,

Fa la la la la, fa la la la

'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la ...

Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la...

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la...

See the blazing Yule before us,

Fa la la la la, fa la la la

Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la...

Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la...

While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la...

Fast away the old year passes,

Fa la la la la, fa la la la

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la...

Sing we joyous all together, Fa la la...

Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la…
 

2 Do You Hear What I Hear?
(back to contents)

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"
 

3 My Favourite Things (Rodgers and Hammerstein)
(back to contents)
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favourite things

Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels

Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings

These are a few of my favourite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes

Silver white winters that melt into springs

These are a few of my favourite things.

When the dog bites

When the bee stings

When I’m feeling sad;

I simply remember my favourite things

And then I don’t feel so bad.

When the dog bites

When the bee stings

When I’m feeling sad;

I simply remember my favourite things

And then I don’t feel so bad.

5 Little Drummer Boy

“Come” they told me, - Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum

“A newborn King to see,” - Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum

Our finest gifts we bring - Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum

To lay before the King - Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum

Rum-pum-pum-pum, - Rum-pum-pum-pum.

So to honour him - Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum

When we come.

Little baby, pa rum pum pum pum

I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum

I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum

That’s fit to give a King, pa rum pum pum pum

Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum

On my drum?

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum

The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum

I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum

I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum

Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum,

Me and my drum

Me and my drum

Me and my drum…
 

6 Carol Of The Bells

(back to contents)
Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells

All seem to say, "Throw cares away"

Christmas is here, bringing good cheer

To young and old, meek and the bold

Ding-dong, ding-dong, that is their song

With joyful ring, all carolling

One seems to hear, words of good cheer

From ev'rywhere, filling the air

Oh, how they pound, raising the sound

O'er hill and dale, telling their tale

Gaily they ring while people sing

Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells

All seem to say, "Throw cares away"

Christmas is here, bringing good cheer

To young and old, meek and the bold

Ding-dong, ding-dong, that is their song

With joyful ring, all caroling

One seems to hear, words of good cheer

From ev'rywhere, filling the air

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

Choir finishes the piece on their own!
 

7 Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

(back to contents)
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 upon the highest bough.

And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.
 

8 Gaudete

(back to contents)
chorus:

Gaudete, gaudete!

Christus est natus

Ex Maria virgine,

Gaudete!

Gaudete, gaudete!

Christus est natus

Ex Maria virgine,

Gaudete!

The choir sings 3 verses, where we all join on the chorus:

Tempus ad et gratiae

Hoc quod Optabamus

Carmina Leticiae

Devote redamus

Deus homo factus est

Natura mirante,

Mundus renovatus est

A Christo regnante.

Ezechielis porta

Clausa pertransitur,

Unde lux est orta

Salus invenitur.
Volunteers join in for last verse:

Ergo nostra contio Ergo Nostro Contsio

Psallat iam in lustro; Salat yum in loostroh

Benedicat Domino: Benedicart dominoh

Salus Regi nostro. Sahlus reggie nostroh.

Repeat chorus x2
 

9 I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas

(back to contents)
solo:

The Sun is shining, The weather is fine.

The orange and palm trees sway.

There’s never been such a day,

In Beverly Hills L.A.

But it’s December the twenty-fourth

And I am longing to be up north!
chorus:

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten,

and children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white
 

10 Ding Dong Merrily On High

(back to contents)
Ding Dong Merrily On High

In Heav’n the bells are ringing

Ding Dong verily the sky

Is riven with angels singing

(loudly) Glo—------------ria hosanna in excelsis

(softly) Glo—------------ria in hosanna excelsis

E’ven so here below, below

Let steeple bells be swungen

And io io io (pronounced ee-oh)

By priest and people sungen

(loud) Glo—------------ria in excelsis deo

(soft) Glo—------------ria in excelsis deo

Pray you dutifully prime

Your matin chime, ye ringers

May you beautifully rhyme

Your eventime song ye singers

(soft) Glo—------------ria in excelsis deo

(loud) Glo—------------ria in excelsis deo
 

11 Silver Bells (Livingston and Evans)

(back to contents)
Christmas makes you feel emotional,

It may bring parties, or thoughts devotional

Whatever happens or what may be

Here is what Christmastime means to me

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:

Chorus:

Silver bells, silver bells

It’s Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them sing

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…
 

12 Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

(back to contents)
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? Antiphon in brackets...

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

had a very shiny nose. (nose)

And if you ever saw him, (saw him)

you would even say it glows. (like a lightbulb!)

All of the other reindeer (reindeer)

used to laugh and call him names. (like what?)

They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)

join in any reindeer games.

Ladies: Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say:

Men: "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

All: Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him)

as they shouted out with glee, (yipee!!!)

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,

you'll go down in history!

you'll go down in history!
 

13 The Christmas Song

(back to contents)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up in winter clothes

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

And every mother's child is going to spy

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you.
 

14 Sweet Bells

(back to contents)
While shepherds watched their flocks by night all seated on the ground

The angel of the Lord came down and glory shone around

[Chorus]

(Sweet bells) sweet chiming Christmas Bells

(Sweet bells) sweet chiming Christmas Bells

They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells

They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells

"Fear not," said he, for mighty dread

Had seized their troubled minds

"Clad tidings of great joy I bring

To you and all mankind"

(Sweet bells) sweet chiming Christmas Bells

(Sweet bells) sweet chiming Christmas Bells

They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells

They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells

"To you in David's town this day is born of David's line

The Savior who is Christ the Lord

And this shall be the sign"

(Sweet bells) sweet chiming Christmas Bells

(Sweet bells) sweet chiming Christmas Bells

They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells

They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells
 

15 Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! (Jule Styne / Sammy Cahn)

(back to contents)
Oh, the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

And since we've no place to go

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Man it doesn't show signs of stoppin'

And I brought me some corn for poppin'

The lights are turned way down low

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good-night

How I'll hate going out in the storm

But if you really hold me tight

All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying

And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing

But as long as you'd love me so

Let it snow, let it snow, AND SNOW!
 

16 O Tannenbaum

(back to contents)
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,

Wie treu sind deine Blätter!

Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,

Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,

Wie treu sind deine Blätter!

O Christmas tree x2

With faithful leaves, unchanging

Not only green in Summer’s heat

but in the Winter’s now and sleet

O Christmas tree x2

With faithful leaves, unchanging

O Christmas tree x2

of all the trees most lovely. (x2)

Each year you bring – to me delight,

Gleaming in the Christmas night.

O Christmas tree, x2 of all the trees most lovely.

O Christmas tree x2

your leaves will teach me also (x2)

That hope and love, and faithfulness

Are precious things I can possess.

O Christmas tree, x2 - your leaves will teach me also.
 

17 Winter Wonderland (Felix Bernard / Dick Smith)

(back to contents)
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?

In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight

Walking in the winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird

Here to stay, is the new bird

He sings a love song, as we go along

Walking in the 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 Mr. Snowman

Until the other kiddies knock him down

When it snows, ain't it thrillin'?

Though you know, kids are chillin'

We'll frolic and play, as beautiful day

Walking in a winter wonderland
